AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT OWN. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AS I HAD BRAKED TO TURN LEFT INTO THE SPACE. THE CAR WENT OVER THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT THE CONCRETE WALL WHICH IS ABOUT 1-2 FEET BEHIND THE BLOCK, THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY BUT THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. I PURCHASED THIS ACCORD USED, IN AUGUST, 2016, FROM A LOCAL HONDA/ACURA DEALER & IT HAD APPROX. 9200 MILES ON IT.. AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT THERE WAS 16,552 MILES ON THE CAR. THE ONLY MAINTENANCE DONE WAS AN OIL CHANGE, AND OUTSIDE OF THE TMP LIGHT, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS HAD COME ON TO PROMPT ME FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR. THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS EVENT WAS SUFFICIENT THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR TO BE A TOTAL LOSS.

HONDA QUALITY PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY. AFTER FEW MONTHS THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ALL OF A SUDDEN AND COMES TO A LOW SPEED (0-5 MPH) WITHIN SECONDS. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES. FIRST TIME - THE DEALER SAID THAT HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SECOND TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHIP IN THE COMPUTER IS THE PROBLEM. SO THEY SAID THAT THE SOFTWARE IN THE COMPUTER NEEDED UPGRADE (STRANGE.. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR. AND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ONLY ONE CAR. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE WITH OTHER CARS PRODUCED AT THE SAME TIME). THIRD TIME - AS PER HONDA TECH, THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATION KIT AS THEY THOUGHT THAT IS THE PROBLEM. FOURTH TIME - NOW THEY THINK THE WIRING IS THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THAT. EVERY TIME, I DROVE THAT CAR TRUSTING THEM, I RISKED MY LIFE. I AVOIDED ACCIDENT 8 TIMES ON FREEWAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I DROVE INTO THE CENTRAL DITCH ON THE FREEWAY AND INJURED MY SHOULDER. I AM ON MEDICATION FOR THE PAST 1+ MONTH. I AM WORRIED THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM GOING TO DIE.
