I was turning right into a parking place and slowly breaking when our Honda Accord ran away with itself, shooting forward like a rocket without my foot on the accelerator. It knocked a pedestrian over and was stopped by a large boulder. It was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. Honda's home office in Torrance, California didn't seem to care when notified by phone. I told them that sooner or later someone will loose their life in such a situation. Then I searched the internet and found many other personal accounts of unintended acceleration !
