| I was parking my 2011 honda accord coupe in a space in a parking lot, feathering the brake and about to come to a complete stop. suddenly the car revved up and accelerated forward. the engine raced as if the throttle had been floored. in about 2 feet of space it accelerated enough to jump about a 6-inch curb where it hit a woody bush, which stopped its forward motion. | |||

| Vehicle suffers from an un-commanded acceleration/throttle problem which is completely reproducible. it affects the low speed behavior of the vehicle particularly during turns where there is potential for loss of control. the defect was confirmed by honda staff when road testing it versus other similar new vehicles. i have documentation from honda to corroborate that. in any case, at this point, honda is either unable or unwilling to address and resolve this safety defect. | |||
