I was pulling into the parking space after driving the vehicle for 45 mins (approx. 20 miles). When I was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. I was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 mph as I had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space. My leg was also in the break pedal as I made those turns after getting into the private property from IL rte 83. I can definitely confirm that my leg was not in gas pedal as my right leg was on the break pedal to make those turns and stop the car in the parking space. It all happened in the matter of few seconds and there was no time to react. The car came to halt only after hitting the building. Both air bags deployed as soon as the car hit the building and there was heave smoke inside the car. It was really scary because by looking at the damage the speed at the time of accident looks to be around 50 mph. It was a relatively higher curb in front and the building was just 6 - 8 feet away from the curb, I was also driving into the parking space at less than 10 mph. I am really shocked to see this kind of unintended/sudden acceleration happen with Honda Accord cars which could prove to be fatal for the driver, passenger and pedestrian alike.

This is a report of an incident of unintended acceleration of a motor vehicle which is related to an accident which occurred on March 9, 2011. The vehicle involved is a 2000 Honda Accord se. The driver was reversing out of a parking space when the engine revved up and the car started to move backward very fast. The driver stepped on the brake and tried to put the vehicle in neutral but the vehicle went into drive and lurched forward at a very high rate of speed uncontrollably across the sidewalk, three(3) lanes of traffic, through a lawn where it first struck a brick building, removed a 30-inch landscape boulder, and then struck a second building which stopped it, traveling over 200 feet before coming to a halt in a public alley. All of this happened in only a few seconds and the driver could not stop the vehicle because the brakes did not help. It was a miracle that the driver was not hit or killed going across the highway. It is very important that this incident be investigated.

I was traveling in reverse for approximately 50 yards at a speed of under 5 mph when the vehicle suddenly accelerated. My passenger was able to shift the car into nuetral as I stepped on the brake. The car idled at a high rpm for 2-3 seconds after it stopped. I have experienced this situation on 4 or 5 prior occasons over the past several years but this was the first time it happened while backing. The last time I experienced a sudden acceleration was in sept. 2006; a dealer mechanical inspection at that time checked the tcm/pcm for dtc and found no stored codes.

On April 9, 2004, I was backing my 2000 Honda Accord, 4 door to a pump at a gas station. The car suddenly accelerated at such a velocity while backing that I ran into two other cars and stopped only when I ran into the service station building's wall. Even though I applied the brake the car continued to careen out of control despite my efforts to stop it. It is most fortunate no one was maimed or killed.

Vehicle suffered sudden acceleration when shifting from park into drive. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ph.

While pulling into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated while my foot was on the brake. The enigne reved loudly, I was unable to stop the vehicle as the speed increased. The car surged over a median separating the parking space rows and struck two other cars in the row facing the row I was pulling into. My foot was on the brake the whole time, but the car kept accelerating. I contacted my dealer to see if there had been any similar reports. They reported none.

Vehicle accelerated suddenly while the brakes were applied, resulting in a collision. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and could not duplicate or correct the problem.
