NHTSA Complaint #11399162 — 2020 HONDA ACCORD

I [XXX] AM WRITING THIS LETTER ABOUT MY 2020 HONDA ACCORD. VIN NUMBER [XXX]. I LEASED THIS CAR IN JANUARY OF 2019 FROM TAMPA HONDA. MY BROTHER'S NAME IS ON THE LEASE AND HIS NAME IS [XXX] . HE HAS BEEN LEASING CARS FOR ME OVER 5 YEARS, FROM HONDA. ON FEBRUARY 10, 2020, I WAS OUTSIDE CLEANING MY CAR, LIKE I ALWAYS DO FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS WITH THE CAR RUNNING SO I CAN LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. I WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CLEANING THE INSIDE DASH BOARD, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. I WAS IN A STATE OF SHOCK AND DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO STOP IT. I WAS HALF WAY IN THE CAR, AND HALF WAY OUTSIDE WITH MY FEET ON THE GROUND. THE CAR ROLLED OUT IN THE STREET AND HIT THE CAR PARKED ACROSS STREET. I HAD TO FILE A CLAIM FOR THE CAR I HIT, PLUS I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE I HURT MY LEG. I CONTACTED TAMPA HONDA AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY WOULDN'T HELP ME, SO I WAITED TO MONDAY, AND I WENT TO TAKE IT TO THE FINANCE AND SPOKE TO [XXX] AND SHOWED HIM THE VIDEO AND SHOWED HIM A VIDEO OF THE CAR GOING IN REVERSE BY ITSELF AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION OFFICE AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE SITUATION AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER, [XXX], AND TOLD ME SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN 3 DAYS. THE LADY [XXX] CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, AND SHE SAID SHE IS SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT IS A GOOD THING I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE TO FIX THE OTHER PERSON'S CAR, BUT THERE IS NOTHING SHE CAN DO. I AM WRITING THIS LETTER IN HOPES OF GETTING SOME KIND OF HELP, BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK. MY NEIGHBOR HAS SURVEILLANCE AND HE UPLOADED A VIDEO TO YOU TUBE. THE VIDEO IS HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/JVY9. MY NEIGHBOR PUT IT ON HIS YOUTU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
