Stopped at a red light waiting to make a right turn. After traffic cleared pressed on the gas and car immediately started revving really loud. Looked and it said it was at 6000 RPM even though I was barely touching the gas. The car then started decreasing speed without me taking my foot off the gas. I quickly pulled off the road and it wasn't until I put the car in park that it finally stopped revving so loud. I shut the car off and let it sit for a few minutes before starting it again and driving. It then started flipping from showing the blu-ray info to apple carplay repeatedly on the info screen.

Bought new 2020 black edition Honda Pilot on May 2,2020 with 11 miles on it. It caught on fire on 6/15/20 after driving only 3 miles I noticed a bad burnt smell as I was entering a parking garage, not thinking it was my car because it was new and there were no display lights indicating anything. I then noticed smoke coming from my hood about 30 seconds later. I immediately parked and turned engine off. Got out of vehicle to see a fire ball drop from under the front of my hood. There had been no previous alerts on the car panel that anything was wrong. We hadn't driven this car much due to covid, probably only had around 400 miles on the car. Car fire is being investigated as far as I know.
