Narrative

Purchased new 2020 Honda Accord on September 28, 2020. On October 13, 2020 I was pulling into a parking space at a retail store. Going 2 or 3 miles per hour with foot on brake turning into space on my right with steering wheel turned to the right. Suddenly engine roared and car would not stop even with my foot firmly on the brake until it hit a pole. I have since learned it is called unintended acceleration. After crash I drove car to another parking spot. Car was in park and I was on the phone and all of a sudden engine roared - same sound when crash occurred. Honda sent their investigator out and told me all car functions were ok. Car was repaired for $7000.00 On June 1, 2022 the same exact thing occurred as I was pulling into a parking spot on my right with steering wheel turned to the right. As the first incident engine suddenly roared and with my foot firmly on the brake car would not stop until it crashed into the store concrete wall. This car has something wrong with it. There are other stories out there with same story as people are parking the car. The car was towed to a collision shop and I am going to the Honda Dealer I purchased it from to insist this car is a danger to me and others and I cannot drive this any longer. I first wanted to report this before I did anything else.
