Reported on July 09, 2011
| I WAS PARKING MY 2011 HONDA ACCORD COUPE IN A SPACE IN A PARKING LOT, FEATHERING THE BRAKE AND ABOUT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SUDDENLY THE CAR REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD. THE ENGINE RACED AS IF THE THROTTLE HAD BEEN FLOORED. IN ABOUT 2 FEET OF SPACE IT ACCELERATED ENOUGH TO JUMP ABOUT A 6-INCH CURB WHERE IT HIT A WOODY BUSH, WHICH STOPPED ITS FORWARD MOTION. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. UPDATED 11/03/11 *TR | |
