I [xxx] am writing this letter about my 2020 Honda Accord. VIN number [xxx]. I leased this car in January of 2019 from tampa Honda. My brother's name is on the lease and his name is [xxx]. he has been leasing cars for me over 5 years, from Honda. On February 10, 2020, I was outside cleaning my car, like I always do for the last 20 years with the car running so I can listen to the music. I was on the passenger side cleaning the inside dash board, and all of a sudden the car rolled backwards. I was in a state of shock and didn't know how to stop it. I was half way in the car, and half way outside with my feet on the ground. The car rolled out in the street and hit the car parked across street. I had to file a claim for the car I hit, plus I went to the hospital because I hurt my leg. I contacted tampa Honda and was told to take this to the service department. They wouldn't help me, so I waited to Monday, and I went to take it to the finance and spoke to [xxx] and showed him the video and showed him a video of the car going in reverse by itself and they said there is nothing they can do for me. I then contacted Honda corporation office and explained to them the situation and they gave me a case number, [xxx], and told me someone would get back to me in 3 days. The lady [xxx] contacted me and told me it was nothing wrong with the car, and she said she is sorry for what happened, but there is nothing they can do. She also told me that it is a good thing I contacted my insurance to fix the other person's car, but there is nothing she can do. I am writing this letter in hopes of getting some kind of help, because the car is not safe and they will not take it back. My neighbor has surveillance and he uploaded a video to you tube. The video is https://youtu.be/jvy9. My neighbor put it on his youtu [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving on interstate 15 going 70mph on a clear sunny day and no traffic was in front of the vehicle. The car suddenly flash the brake light indicator and the vehicle began stopping instantly as if their was car in front of mine. Luckily I looked the mirror and seen a semi truck behind me hit his brakes and I had to floor the gas pedal before being rear ended bu the semi truck. This could of caused multiple fatality in my car if I did not hit the gas pedal when the car braked for no reason. The car is only 6 mo old and has 15,000K miles on it.

I was driving on the highway on a sunny day with no other cars around me, and nothing in front of me. I was driving approximately 55mph, and all of a sudden the collision mitigation braking system engaged and almost brought the car to a full stop. The braking system engaged for approximately 4 seconds, my foot remained on the gas because I was startled and could not understand what was happening, and had no time to react. The automatic braking system then released, and the car kept driving.

Approximately right after I purchased the car, I began having trouble with the brake. The brake system is harder than normal; when I apply pressure to the brake pedal, it feels like it has several layers until I push it to the end. It feels like it doesn't respond right away. Also, the brake is giving me a strong respond, so I feel the car is shaking significantly when I do an immediate stop. Also, when I apply pressure to the brake, the motion of the car rush forward and slide down before it responds correctly.
