I backup up in a parking lot and when I took my foot off of the brake the car went full throttle in reverse and hit a cement structure behind me and kept hitting it. My brakes did nothing to stop the repeated collisions so I put the car into drive and it went full throttle across the parking lot and was going to go off a cliff and yet I had no brakes. The only control I had was steering. I was going with a full throttle and managed to steer away from the cliff and a building and headed towards a chain link fence to try to stop my travel. It did not stop me because the car was going so fast. It went through the fence and the yard and then through the next fence and was then airborne between the trees till I hit the ground at a 45 degree angle which was about 15 feet lower. Then continued to speed across a field till it got caught in a ditch. I had no brakes during the entire incident.
It was first thing in the morning , had driven it late the previous evening. The engine light went on , the car bucked when I tried to accelerate . I drove to the dealership. Asked me if I "topped off" at the gas station. I did in fact top off the last fill up. I was told that could make the engine light go on. Now I have a rent a car. They need to order a new part. V tec. I have always topped off at the gas station. I should have been told or warned not to do that with the new Honda's if in fact that is the reason for this.
