"sudden unintended acceleration" in a private parking. This happened when the driver was about to park the car on Feb 27, 2017. I was the driver and my husband was a passenger in the passenger side of the back seat, with seat belts on. After I entered the parking area, as I was about to park, the car abruptly sped up, crashed into the building ahead of me, and the driver's airbag was deployed. The front of the car and the building wall were damaged (photos are enclosed). All this happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. Several people from inside the building rushed out to see what happened. I was visibly shaken and quite frightened by this accident. The business office staff took photos of the damaged wall and the vehicle. My two thumbs were aching with minor burn, but since there was no other obvious physical injury to us, we declined the emergency medical care. State police trooper came, took some information but said that because this accident happened in a private property it will not be reported. I had never thought anything like this accident could ever happen. I googled and found cases in which unintended sudden acceleration had actually happened. Hasn't this safety issue been addressed? my husband I are the original owner of this car.

Service engine soon light comes on and it indicates that the throttle position sensor is defective I brought the car a month ago and it only has 64k on it. My experiences with this code are bucking and jerking of the car idling surges sudden stalling hesitation while driving and a sudden surge in speed while driving on the parkway also my fuel drops drastically. I called Honda and I was told by a service repairman that I need to change the tps sensor but I would have to buy the whole throttle body totaling 500 since the tps sensor($45) is not sold separately. Also this is causing my shifter to get stuck I cannot shift my car into drive.
