At noon time after dropping my daughter off at her job I came home making a slow right turn down hill into my driveway. My speed down the driveway was very slow since it is on a hill. As I came closer to where I usually park in front of my garage the brake pedal would not go down completely,it pumped up and the car accelerated on its own and crashed into the foundation of my house and garage door!!! The car was totaled!! The front end crashed into a room adjacent to garage and in part of the garage. There was an awful gaping whole in my home and the garage door was totaled. I thought I was imagining what happened and felt like I couldn't explain it to anyone until I went on this website and read two stories very similar to mine. I'm not in a habit of using social media or making comments on line in fact this is the first time I am writing anything on a website but I was so distraught about this accident that I was forced to do research about what happened to me. I have been living in this home for over twenty years. I have been pulling into this driveway numerous times a day for over twenty years! Nothing remotely like this accident has ever occurred. I have never had a car crash of this magnitude in my life! Our car insurance adjuster advised they could perform forensic testing to confirm how the car malfunctioned but he said it is very costly. He also advised if they discover the malfunction it is also costly to go after Honda. I'm so grateful I stumbled on this website. I feel validated I'm not imagining what happened to me. Hopefully Honda finds their way to our comments!!!!!!!!!
