Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED (<10 MPH) IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE DRIVER ATTEMPTING TO MANEUVER THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE DRIVER WAS APPLYING NO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL; THE CAR WAS IN DECELERATION. WHEN THE DRIVER STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. AS A RESULT, THE CAR WENT OVER THE PARKING BARRIER INTO THE BASE OF A PARKING LIGHT CAUSING SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE CAR ($6,000). THE DRIVER HAS EXPERIENCED A FEW OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR ACTED IN A SIMILAR MANNER. WE BELIEVE THIS UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO ISOLATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
