Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2012 Honda Accord

I was at a stop sign on private property. I attempted to move forward to make a left turn and the car suddenly accelerated. I couldn't stop it - but a tree about 20 feet away did. Even if I had floored the gas pedal, the car would not have gone that fast that quickly. I have read of others that have had the same experience. Honda just says there is nothing wrong with the car.

From a standstill or speeds up to approximately 20 mph when the accelerator pedal is depressed there is a delay in the response and then an unexpected and sudden acceleration occurs. This problem does not occur frequently but often enough to be considered dangerous. When I reported the problem to the service department of the Honda dealership from which I purchased the vehicle, I was told this was a problem with the computer determining what gear the vehicle was in and what you were asking the computer to do and there was no fix for the problem. I was also told to just "gas it" when the problem occurred. This is a dangerous and unsatisfactory solution to the problem. If the problem occurs when pulling out slowly into traffic one could be hit from behind by another vehicle or if you suddenly "gassed it" you could lose control of the vehicle and hit a vehicle in front of your vehicle or possibly a person standing close by. When I asked if this was a problem in the entire Honda line I was told yes and also was told this was a problem with all of the latest model vehicles not just the Honda line. I sincerely believe this is a dangerous problem which should be addressed and fixed even though the dealership said it could not be fixed.
