| As i was parking my car, it suddenly and without warning lurched forward full throttle out of control over the parking barrier and curb and through a storefront window. i tried to stop it as my foot was on the brake the whole time, but i could not, and it lodged itself into a drywall counter and side wall.(it was later found out that there was a 600 pound safe on the other side of the counter, which probably stopped the car) i shut off the ignition and yelled for help. i was covered in glass and injured my shoulder, neck, upper back and right leg. i had just had the accelerator pedal position sensor and rear brake pads replaced at the honda dealership 6 days prior to this. my car was maintained there regularly. it is fortunate nobody was killed. the incident was caught on the security tape. *tr | |||

| Original owner of 2006 honda cr-v with 43,500 miles and automatic transmission. upon entering garage at residence, experienced sudden acceleration resulting in vehicle lurching forward into garage striking partially closed garage door and hitting rear concrete block wall of garage with sufficient force to dislodge wall and activate driver's side air bag. driver suffered moderate burns to right arm from air bag deployment. vehicle sustained severe front end damage. am concerned that even if vehicle can be repaired, possibility of another similar event is troubling. i hope honda will investigate this accident and report its findings. | |||

| We experience sudden acceleration with our honda crv 2006. it is an intermittent problem and can happen at varying speeds on highway or streets. we have no floor mats by the way. when we drive to the dealership they keep telling us there is nothing they can do to help us. since everything is computerized the car must be doing the actual sudden acceleration when you bring it in, we were told. we find this unacceptable and felt it wise to report to you. how can we get help? national honda customer center said the same thing to us. *tr | |||

| I parked in my office parking garage spot just as i normally do. i pulled in the spot going very slowly, and even though i am completely convinced that my foot was on the brake as i turned into the parking spot, once the car was in the spot, the car suddenly without any warning or reason surged forward and crashed into a concrete beam that was right in front of my parking spot. i am sure there was nothing i did to cause this. the weather was very cold that day, and that is the only thing that was different from the numerous other days i have parked in the same parking garage without incident. the car did not skid forward, because there was no ice, and i had a very distinct sensation of the car engine revving up on its own when it accelerated. i was bruised where the seat belt was positioned across my chest, but otherwise i was okay. the car sustained approximately $8,000 in damages. *tr | |||
