Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 1998 Honda Accord

I was trying to park my 1998 Honda Accord into a parking spot in front of a hallmark store and right before I tried to put the car in park and shut off the ignition, my car accelerated suddenly on its own and went through the plate glass windows in the front of the store. I had my foot on the brake and was trying to get it to stop and it went through the plate glass window in a split second. I did not have time to think, it happened so fast. I was not hurt and the employees were not hurt, but seconds before the crash, the employees were standing behind the counter waiting on a customer and they had just went out on the floor right before it crashed through their window and up to their registers. They missed being hurt by a few seconds. I reported the incident to our insurance company, so they can investigate further. I also called 1-800-Honda and reported the incident and their response was that my extended warranty had run out and what did I expect them to do about it. I told them they should investigate and maybe keep someone from getting killed or seriously injured. We found a website called allworldauto. Com that lists several incidents having to do with the vehicle speed control that suddenly accelerated on its own causing numerous accidents around the u. S. Honda's mechanics just said all the incidents were due to driver error, but everyone that wrote in about their incidents know, the same as I do, that is was not caused by driver's error at all. Police tried to say my foot was also on the edge of the foot feet as well as on the brake and I know that was not true. I was almost completely stopped when my car accelerated on its own and I had my foot on the brake as hard as I could.
