1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2020

I was about to park my 2015 Honda Accord lx in a parking spot in parking lot in front of a shopping centre. The car was cruising at 2-3 miles per hour at this time. There was a sudden and rapid acceleration which was highly disproportionate to the slow speed while I was entering the parking spot. I applied the brakes but it didn't help stop or slow down the vehicle. The car moved forward with the same rapid acceleration in the empty parking spot in front and started moving towards the next parking row in front. I swung the car to the right on to the road between the two parking rows in order to avoid collision with the cars in the next row. The car was still moving with rapid acceleration. I tried applying brakes hard but the car wouldn't slow down or stop. I brushed the bumper of another car in the process. I finally hit another car parked near a curb at the end of the parking lot. The impact was so high that the other car swung 90 degrees. My car stopped after getting stuck on the curb and wedged against the other car. The airbags exploded due to the huge impact. I survived the accident with bruises and bumps on my hands, knees, and feet. Fortunately, no other person in the parking lot was injured in the accident. Accident date and time: June 25, 2020 5:15 pm eastern. Location: parking lot of north town plaza, 2856 dekalb pike, norristown, PA police report # east norriton, PA township, report number # 2020-0638219401 the car has been towed to the following location by police with my consent: centersquaremotors 911 dekalb pike blue bell, PA 19422 (610) 277 2929 insurer: state farm.

2 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2015

I was driving on a high way and all of the sudden a light came on that said "power system fail" and I lost the ability to use the accelerator. I stayed calm because there were cars all around me and I began to coast and use momentum to drift to the shoulder of the highway. Then a second light came on and said 'brake system power fail". I tapped the break and it seemed to work but I continued to coast down the shoulder of the highway until I ran out of momentum. I then turned my brand new Honda Accord exl hybrid off and restarted the car. The lights remained on but the accelorator was working so I drove the car to the closest service area on the highway. I then called Honda roadside who told me to turn the vehicle off and wait for a tow truck. He said that I must have broken a belt. Why he said or thought that he could diagnose the problem from a call center I'm not sure. It was over 100 degrees so I did not listen to the man from Honda because it was too hot and not safe for me to sit in the vehicle without air. I waited for a tow truck which cost me $250 even though its a brand new car and I have Honda roadside assistance. My husband came and met me where the tow left me. He drove the vehicle to our dealership. The dealership told us that they have no record of this ever happening and the computer does not show that anything happened. It was so scary and dangerous and I could have been killed. They say that they can't diagnose the problem because it seems like nothing is wrong. They even asked me if I accidentally turned the car off while driving?!?!?! that isn't possible!!!! I just found the exact same complaint from another Honda driver on here which also shows that this has happened before and something is wrong. As a woman who chose this car because it is supposed to be so reliable and safe I am so upset. I do not believe that my vehicle is safe.
