2 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2005

I have a 2004 Honda Accord lx with a four cylinder engine. Last year I reported a defect whereby the vehicle was attempting to accelerate while I was in the act of stopping. I had to use both feet on the brake pedal, put the transmission into neutral and kick the accelerator pedal to get the engine to come back to idle. When I put the transmission into neutral the engine rpm's went up to almost 6000. I had the vehicle checked by herb chambers Honda, in burlington, mass and they found nothing wrong. However, on Dec 8, 2005, I was making a left hand turn into a parking lot at a very low rate of speed and the vehicle did the very same thing! it took both feet on the brake pedal, put the transmission into neutral, the engine sped up to almost 6000 rpm's, kick the accelerator pedal and finally the engine dropped to idle. This concerns me greatly. I'm seventy years old and I recognized the problem, but my wife who is seventy-two and who doesn't use the car too often, may not recognize the problem, be able to think of the solution and handle the vehicle all at once. It could end up killing her or someone else! VIN number of vehicle 1hgcm56304a006527 thank you.
