Consumer Description

HI, I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH MY 2009 HONDA FIT SPORT MODEL. THE INCIDENCE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 5 TO 10 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS TRYING TO PARK THE CAR. I LET THE CAR SLOWLY ROLLED FORWARD INTO THE EMPTY PARKING SPOT AHEAD. BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AT PRETTY LOW SPEED, SO I ONLY GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I WAS GETTING CLOSER TO THE EMPTY PARKING SPOT. AS I SLOWLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE CAR SHOT AHEAD. I QUICKLY RELEASED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND APPLIED THE HAND BRAKE. AFTER THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT ACTUALLY ROLLED OVER ON THE SIDE WALK. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK AND NO DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCURRED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE HONDA FIT FOR 1.5 YEAR AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I NOTICED SUCH A PROBLEM. I PLAN TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. *TR
