While slowing down my Pilot with my foot on the brakes, I pulled into my mother's home's driveway. I am sure I put the vehicle into PARK. My Pilot proceeded to move forward and hit my mother's parked car. We were both very shocked - neither one of us could figure out what was happening. I couldn't stop the vehicle. (I've been driving without incident for 40 yrs.) I took my Pilot out of PARK, just trying to alleviate the problem in any way into DRIVE and then into REVERSE. The Pilot responded and I was able to move backward and away from the the bumper of my mother's car. Her bumper is cracked and damaged along with the trunk that needs repair. We are both fine, but shaken. I cannot figure out how or why this occurred. I brought the Pilot into the dealer, who was appropriately professional, but he decided that the problem was my error. Hopeful that it never happens again. Thank you.
