Unintended acceleration complaints : approximately 6 - 7 times, the Honda Accord increased speed on its own while entering highways or when slowing down to park the vehicle. All of these incidents happened when the steering wheel was either turned to the right or left during the process. The most critical incident occurred on 12/11/18 while I was coming to a stop in a parking spot in front of my condominium. While turning right into the parking spot and applying the brake, the Honda violently accelerated on its own. I applied the brakes harder, but had to quickly push the gear shifter into park in order to stop the vehicle. The Honda had jumped the concrete curb, drove over the sidewalk and continued across the grass until it stopped about 3 feet in front of the condo building. If I didn't force the transmission into park, the vehicle would have collided with the building. I was able to calm down, restart the car and put the Honda in reverse to back up over the same curb into the parking space. I contacted davis Honda and they sent a tow truck to transport it for service. As of this date, davis Honda will be towing the Honda Accord back to my address in mt. Laurel, NJ. The service department could not duplicate any of the incidents, so I contacted Honda America and opened up a case. After numerous calls to corporate, they indicated no issues were found with his 2017 Honda Accord and I had to take the car back. I notified my car insurance company to see if they could assist me with this issue, no help yet. A lemon law attorney in NJ advised I need 3 service checks, I only have 2 so far. I guess I have to crash before Honda will fix it. Accord only has 3600 miles on it. . 3 year lease with 15 months to go.
