NHTSA Complaint #10705362 — 2002 HONDA CIVIC

ON MY RETURN HOME FROM WORK AS I SLOWLY CAME TO MY DRIVEWAY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TRIED TO BRAKE TO STOP THE BRAKES DID NOT HELP CAR HIT THE GARAGE DOOR THAT WAS CLOSED STILL SPEEDING INSIDE THE GARAGE LIKE WILD BULL. THERE WAS AN OLD MERCEDES BENZ AND A MOTORCYCLE INSIDE THE GARAGE AMONG OTHER STORED GOODS THAT STOPPED THE CAR MOVING ANY FURTHER IF THE MERCEDES WAS NOT THERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY HITTING THE CONCRETE WALL OF THE GARAGE. THERE IS LOTS OF DAMAGE AT THIS TIME IN MY GARAGE AND LOTS OF DEDUCTIBLES I HAVE TO PAY TO GET THINGS FIXED, FOR SOMETHING OF NO FAULT OF MINE. I AM SO GLAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN BEFORE FEW MINUTES WHEN I WAS STILL ON THE ROAD AT A TRAFFIC HOUR AFTER WORK BETWEEN 6 TO 7 PM ON FRIDAY APRIL 10TH. DURING THIS ACCIDENT MY GARAGE FILLED WITH SMOKE I WAS TERRIFIED THINKING OF FIRE HAZARD NEXT I THREW MYSELF OUT OF THE CAR THEN CAME AND TURNED OFF THE CAR CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT THEY CAME AND SAW THE GARAGE FULL OF SMOKE BUT THANKFULLY NO FIRE HAZARD. I AM LUCKY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD AND I AM THANKFUL I AM ABLE TO REPORT THIS SO SOMEONE ELSE WILL NOT GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS. *TR
