| I was starting to pull into the garage to pick up my mother and daughter when the accelerator stuck and kept increasing speed and i was unable to get it to slow down or stop. this is a double car side of the garage and my daughters car was on the right side of the garage so proceeding at a slow cautious speed is necessary. the honda pilot proceeded to slam into the two refrigerators and one freezer causing extensive damage to the vehicle, the refrigerators and freezer, the house has structural damage, and the airbag deployed causing the me to jam my toe, fracture my wrist in two places, and sprain my back. i had previously scheduled an appointment for the next day to have the oil changed with the local honda dealer. when i called to cancel the appointment and explained what happen they didn't seem concerned or surprised. i am concerned to find on the arfc website there are three similar related incidents. even though the body damage will be repaired, will this happen again? | |||

| While attempting to stop at a stop sign the engine raced to 3500-4000 rpms. i put it neutral and stood on the brake. the shifted gears from neutral to drive and reverse, and the acceleration stopped with a pop and went back to 1500. there was no injury or accident, but i was scared to death. this was the third occurrence in a week in a 2 week old honda pilot with 180 miles on it. *ak | |||
