MY MOTHER LEASES A HONDA CIVIC 2015 AND WAS PARKING THE CAR AT A SLOW SPEED , FOOT ON BREAK THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR SPED FORWARD. THE CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED THE CAR TO BACK IT UP --AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE (WITH MY FOOT COVERING THE BREAK) IT SURGED AGAIN AND THE CAR SPED BACKWARDS. I FILED A CASE WITH HONDA AMERICA 05128777 - THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS. I AM POSTING THIS BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY FRIGHTENING AND I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

THE VEHICLE (V-2) WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AT THE 1-5 NB CYPRESS OFF RAMP IN REDDING CALIFORNIA IN EVENING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC (AT 1810). V-2 WAS STRUCK BY V-1, WHICH IN TURN PUSHED V-2 INTO V-3. BOTH V-1 AND V-2 WERE STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF COLLISION. V-1, A ISUZA TROOPER SUSTAINED MINOR FRONT END DAMAGE. V-2 RECEIVED MINOR FRONT END DAMAGE, AND MAJOR REAR END DAMAGE. V-3, A KIA SOUL RECEIVED MINOR REAR END DAMAGE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE V-2 AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY OR THE SEAT-BELT RESTRAIN THE DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL RECEIVING A MAJOR BRAIN CONCUSSION AND BROKEN NOSE UPON BEING PUSHED BY V-1 INTO V-3. SEVERAL ON THE SCENE QUESTIONED THE LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR THE SEAT-BELT NOT PROVIDING THE RESTRAINT NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE INJURY. MY CONCERN IS THIS IS A FAILURE OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS NECESSARY TO RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. REPORTING PARTY IS THE FATHER OF THE DRIVER OF V-2, A TEEN DRIVER.

MY DAUGHTER (17 YEARS OLD) WAS DRIVING AT 35 MILES IN LEONA VALLEY CA ON LAST FRIDAY 2015 HER HONDA CIVIC (7,000 MILES ON ODOMETER). HER CAR LOW-PRESSURE AIR LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN CAR STARTED TO SWERVE VIOLENTLY LEFT TO RIGHT. WITHIN FEW MINUTES THE CAR BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING (ACCORDING TO HER, IT FELT SHE WAS PUSHING ON AIR WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE PADDLE) AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE CAR ENDED UP ON ITS SIDE AND CAUGHT FIRE. IT STARTED A BRUSH FIRE (25 ACRES) HERE IN CA. WHEN MY DAUGHTER AND HER TWO FRIENDS TRIED TO GET OUT THE DOOR, THE OTHER DOOR WON'T OPEN. THEY HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE SUN ROOF. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND WHY DID THE CAR'S BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO FIND OUT WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF ROOT CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT?
