2008 Honda Accord - 4 door: At approximately 7:47 am on Friday, June 4, 2010, I was turning into a parking space in an open air lot, with the wheel turned hard to the left, I went to put my foot on the brake and the car lurched forward as if I was pressing on the accelerator. I could not figure out what was happening and when I looked down at my foot, it was on the left side of the brake pedal. Even slamming down on the brake did not prevent me from smashing into the Nissan xterra in the parking spot in front of mine and pushing the SUV forward quite a bit. There was no floor mat issue obstructing the accelerator, it was several inches away in its usual position. Hopefully, this will be the only failure. I called the police who filed a report. My insurance company told me to get an appraisal of the damage. No one was in the Nissan, but damage was done to his vehicle as well. Luckily no one was injured.

I purchased a brand new 2008 Honda Accord ex 2.4L in may of 2008. Since then I have had numerous brake problems including early wear of the rear brake pads and warping of the rotors(starting at about 19,000 miles). My vehicle currently has 35,000 miles and under normal circumstances I do not believe that brake pads or rotors should deteriorate at such low miles. According to the 2008 Honda Accord rear brake pad settlement, I believe that all brake related problems such as rotor warp should be included as well. The rotor warp causes the steering while/car to shake while applying the brakes and causes excessive noise and instability in braking when braking on a decline (ie. Hill or mountain).
