“I was driving my Honda Accord on a residential street, when the transmission started to shift erratically. The d4 light started to flash and the 'check engine' light came on. The Honda dealership that serviced the vehicle told me that the transmission had failed. This from a car that I had purchased six weeks earlier. Luckily the incident happened on a vacant road and not a highway on-ramp where smooth shifting is a life or death scenario.”

When I was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. I was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 MPH as I had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space.

NHTSA complaint #10350060, filed 2010-08, 134,000 miles“On april 9, 2004, I was backing my 2000 Honda Accord, 4 door to a pump at a gas station. The car suddenly accelerated at such a velocity while backing that I ran into two other cars and stopped only when I ran into the service station building's wall. Even though I applied the brake the car continued to careen out of control despite my efforts to stop it. It is most fortunate no one was maimed or killed.”

I could not control its speed, and braking was ineffective. It could not be stopped. I went through the back wall of our garage, causing great damage.”
