Pulling onto road from a parking lot, accelerated to meet flow of traffic. After reaching desired speed (~45 mph), removed foot from gas pedal. Car accelerated on its own after this. Brake was used, but car still was revving, trying to accelerate. As I was approaching a red traffic light, I was able to slow the car enought to pull into a parking lot. Car would only stop once it was in park. Car was shut off, then turned on again. Engine was still revving. Took to david michael Honda dealership in freehold NJ. They have had the car since the incident, and have found nothing wrong, and can not get the problem to repeat. I am afraid to drive the car in case this happens again with more traffic around.
