Consumer Description

I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY COMING TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE BUT IT WOULDN'T STOP. FINALLY I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TAPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE TUNED DOWN. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN 2017 FROM HONDA NORTH.IN BUTLER PA. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THEN AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THIS PAST MONTH IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. LRECENTLY I ALMOST A SMALL CHILD AND HIS MOM PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I HAVE GRAND CHILDREN THAT I TAKE WITH ME DAILY AND I AM SCARED WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THEY ARE IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU PAYS ATTENTION TO THIS ON GOING PROBLEM. I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE SOON BEFORE THIS CAR ACCELERATES AND KILLS SOMEONE
