Consumer Description

MY WIFE'S 2012 ODYSSEY TOURING WAS PARKED ON THE RAMP TO OUR GARAGE, WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND APPLIED SLIGHT PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE GEAR: IT LURCHED BACKWARD AND THE BRAKE COULD NOT STOP IT, THOUGH A NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DID. WHEN I DROVE IT FORWARD TO PARK IT THE CAR SPED FORWARD THIRTY FEET OR SO BEFORE IT OBEYED THE BRAKE. THE GARAGE WILL NEED A NEW DOOR -- AT LEAST -- BUT THE CAR SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE, EXCEPT THAT THE TAILLIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF.
