Vehicle Speed Control problem #1

The Honda dealer has taken great care of my car until this event. I was in a parking lot, backed up and barely hit a pole with the rear bumper. Then I put it in drive, and the car took off at full speed out of control, burning rubber, even though I was hitting the brakes, pumping them, trying to stop. I only had time to swerve to avoid a parked car, then went into a brick wall and the car was totaled. The air bags went off. The mph is an approximation based on the cars damage since I could not look at the odometer under these emergency circumstances. I was only slightly injured, but I will have to see a chiropractor.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #2

Very prone to an accident as car unexpectedly leaps ahead.
