| 2008 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING. I TURNED INTO THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND HAD MY FOOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR SOME PEOPLE. I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PARK. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD RAPIDLY WHILE I WAS BRAKING. I PRESSED THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN. THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING RAPIDLY. I GRABBED THE PARKING BRAKE WITH MY RIGHT HAND AND STEERED THE WHEEL WITH MY LEFT HAND. I KEPT MY FOOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AND HIT METAL RAILING. THE CAR SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND HIT THE FIRST CONCRETE STEP. THE CAR STOPPED AND I WAS SEVERELY SHAKEN. I TRIED TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, BUT IT WOULD NOT COME OUT. A MAN, WOMAN, AND STORE MANAGER KEPT ASKING ME IF I WAS ALRIGHT. SEVERAL POLICE CARS CAME. ONE POLICEMAN INSPECTED THE FLOOR MAT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. HE TRIED TO WIGGLE IT. IT ONLY WIGGLED A LITTLE BIT TO THE LEFT AND REMAINED FAR AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL, NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. HE WIGGLED THE KEY WITH SOME MOTION AND PULLED IT OUT. THE DERRY TOWNSHIP POLICE DEPT. WROTE UP A CRASH INFORMATION REPORT - INCIDENT NUMBER DTR111023005. I AM STILL UPSET AND SHAKEN FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS SO FRIGHTENING AND SO DANGEROUS THAT I NO LONGER TRUSTED THIS CAR. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TEMPERATURE WAS SO HOT THAT IT WAS IN THE RED AREA. I HAD THIS CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, CIOCCA HONDA IN HARRISBURG. I TRADED THIS 2008 HONDA CIVIC FOR A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. IN JUNE 2011, MY 2008 HONDA HAD A COMPLETE INSPECTION AT GOOD'S AUTOMOBILE SERVICE IN HERSHEY, PA. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EPISODES WHERE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. CIOCCA CHECKED MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THE 7/14/2010 SERVICE FORM RECORDED "CUSTOMER STATES VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN OFF GAS." |
