As I was coming to a stop at a stop light, moving very slowly, the car all of a sudden accelerated very quickly. When I pushed on the brake it went down to the floor and never stopped the car.The car in front of me stopped me. This is very scary and at first I thought maybe I caused the car to accelerate?? There was no damage to the car in front of me and small damage to me, but it was the thought that the car could take off on its own and I had no way to stop it. This is B** S. The more we allow the car companies to control ours cars, via computers the more dangerous it becomes for us, as they DO NOT put a second redundant computer system, for just problems like this!! I was and still am very leery I am of driving this car. I bought this car as recommended by my garage. When I took it to them to check it out, they said the brake system is working correctly, So Honda now what the H*LL do I do. I want to see the data from the Event Data Recorder, but from what I have found, that may take an act of GOD. Maybe it is time to call on "GOD" and get this ST changed, so we as owners of the deadly machines, know what we should expect the next time we turn the key and start the engine, not only with ourselves in the car, but our loved ones, as well as the others on the road!!!

On this day, I was sitting in line at McDonalds. I was waiting for the line to move up and when it did, I took my foot off the brake and the car suddenly accelerated, rapidly and when I pushed on the brake pedal, it went to the floor and did NOT STOP the car. The car hit the car in front of me, with a good deal of force. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN JUST A FEW DAYS. I pushed on the brake pedal with both feet and the car DID NOT STOP. Luckily no one was hurt and no damage to the other car. But now after two incidents in less than a week my car is showing more damage. Once I got thru the drive thru I pulled over in the parking lot and sat there and shook and cried. What the H*LL is going on. Is it me or is the car doing this on its own??? Since having the car checked out the first time I went back to the garage and they told me they did not know what and why this was happening. I found this web site and read the other peoples posts and I felt it is time for me to post my experience. I have read HONDA is aware of this problem, but they are not doing anything about it, just like the air bags. All I can say is this, If I am in an accident due to this problem and it can be proved, and any one is hurt or my car is damaged again, HONDA you will meet me in person!!!! We buy these cars in good faith that they are safe. The older cars without all these computers were a lot safer, no matter what any one says!!!

ON MAY 17, 2016, IN MY DRIVEWAY, I WAS TRYING TO MOVE MY 2012 PILOT FROM BESIDE MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE TO BEHIND IT SO MY SON COULD PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE BEHIND MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK AND IT MOVED UP A LITTLE BEFORE IT ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED SLAMMING HIS TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE AND CRUSHING IT. I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND TIRES WERE SPINNING AS FAST AS THEY COULD. THE AIRBAG HIT ME IN THE FACE CAUSING ME TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, WHICH THEN CAUSED THE PILOT TO DRIVE ACROSS MY FRONT YARD AT A HIGH SPEED CRASHING INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S TREE WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE! THE ENGINE ONLY STOPPED WHEN MY HUSBAND RAN OUT OF MY HOUSE AND TURNED OFF THE PILOT. AT THAT POINT, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE I HAD BEEN HIT SO HARD IN THE FACE BY THE AIRBAG.

THE PILOT WAS INSPECTED TODAY BY HONDA CORPORATE AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT. OF COURSE AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION, "NO CAUSE WAS FOUND FOR UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION." THERE SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND HONDA NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT!

In May 2012 we purchased a 2012 Honda Pilot off the showroom floor. Just last week I was pulling into a parking spot at work when the car accelerated on its own and as I attempted to brake, the brake pedal literally went to the floor. My car only stopped when it nailed the bumper of the parked car in front of me pushing the parked car approximately 5-6 feet from its spot, crushing the parked car's metal rear bumper completely in.

Following completion of the the police report, the car was then towed to the local Honda dealership where the car was purchased. We were given a rental car to use while they,"thoroughly" checked out our vehicle, only to have them state that,"we found nothing and it must have been driver error." I was then approached by a Honda rep that,"GRACIOUSLY" demonstrated to my poor little female self, the difference between the gas and the brake. I guess the SEVERAL other dozens of Pilot owners,(male and female) that also reported unintended acceleration along with brake failure, may also need to have a "SUIT" from Honda show them automobile operation 101.

I guess this problem with all of the newer model Honda's with be attributed to,"driver error" until someone ends up seriously injured or God forbid, killed. Sounds vaguely similar to the Toyota cover up several years ago?!? If you encounter the same problem, PLEASE report this to the NHSTA and for what good it will do, Honda headquarters. This could be a possible potential life threatening malfunction that needs fixed.
