Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2006 Honda Civic

I was turning into a parking space, almost completely stopped and my car accelerated suddenly on its own forcing up and over two curbs. This is the first time happening to me.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle was sitting in the idle position and in park when the vehicle suddenly accelerated up to 40 mph before it was able to be stopped. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer but they could find nothing wrong. The current and failure mileages were approximately 80,000.

On two separate occasions I experienced sudden acceleration. The first time was, may 26, 2009, and the second time, January 15, 2010. When this occurred I was approaching a stop sign applying the brake traveling about 10 mph. The brake began to fade and the car started to accelerate. I quickly put the car in neutral, which caused the motor to increase in rpm and then went into ideal, which all happened in a few seconds. Both times I brought the car into the Honda dealership within an hour of the occurrences. Both times they were unable to identify the cause. After Honda checked the car out on January 15, 2010 I returned on January 26, 2010, leaving the car with them for 2 â½ days for a more intense evaluation. Again, they could not identify the problem.
