Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2007 Honda Accord

While parking my 2007 Honda Accord in a residential area, I put it into reverse with my foot on the brake. The car suddenly accelerated on its own, and the brakes failed, causing the vehicle to crash into a parked car with enough force to move it about 3 feet, pushing it up over the curb and onto the sidewalk. A second parked vehicle was also damaged. With my foot still on the brake, I shifted into drive, and the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward at an alarming rate of speed for about one/tenth mile, where I was finally able to get the car to stop. The rear damage on my car was so extensive that the car was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. A police report was filed. Mileage on the vehicle was approximately 33,300 miles. I had kept this car regularly maintained. Because of this very serious safety issue, I will never purchase another Honda.

My son was driving my 2007 Honda Accord. It was approximately 5:00 pm. The weather was clear and dry. He was parked in a residential driveway. After starting the car normally, he proceeded to put the car in reverse and lightly pressed the accelerator pedal to exit the driveway. The car began to rapidly and uncontrollably accelerate in reverse. He then depressed the brake pedal attempting to stop the car. However, the brake pedal had no effect and the car continued to accelerate through a 4x4 wooden mailbox post and uphill on the driveway on the opposite side of the street. He continued to depress the brake pedal, however acceleration continued unimpeded. The car finally came to a stop after crashing rear-ended into a house on the opposite side of the street. Luckily, he did not sustain any injury. However, due to the severe damage to the car, my insurance company declared it a total loss.

Entered a parking spot that ended with a 6 inch concrete curb. Vehicle suddenly accelerated causing $10000 damage to body & smoke coming out of engine, oil flowing all over area. My foot was on the brake and I was moving at a snail's pace.

I was driving into a mcdonald's parking lot, looking for an empty spot so that we could use the rest rooms. It was Nov. 30th, Sunday afternoon, and the loot was full of people returning from their thanksgiving holiday. Finally saw one open spot. As I turned right to enter the spot, there was a noise and a sudden acceleration. This parking spot ended with a 6 to 8 inch concrete curb. There was a sudden acceleration and my auto flew like a rocket ship into the concrete curb. Smoke was coming out of the engine, oil was flowing all over the pavement, people were screaming get out of that car. Fortunately, we turned the engine off immediately most probably avoiding a more serious problem. The damage to the body of my auto was almost $5000 and approximately the same amount to fix the engine. This car was only two years old with a mileage of approximately 22,000 miles. This car was in the Honda body shop for 4 weeks until the repairs were completed. They were unable to duplicate the surge and therefore made no correction for the failure.
