description: Coming down a ramp in parking deck with right foot lightly riding the brake pedal to control the carâs descent when all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated full throttle as if the gas pedal had been âfloored.â The acceleration was so intense that it drove my body backward into my seat and pulled my foot off the brake. At this point, the only control I had was my hands on the steering wheel. With the car continuing to accelerate towards the parked cars, I quickly turned the steering wheel to the right, but too late and the front driver side of my vehicle clipped one of the parked cars. My foot is still in the air and yet the car is still surging ahead full throttle and my vehicle is flying towards a car that had come down the ramp a few seconds ahead of me. At this point I slam my right foot onto the brake pedal, but not in time to avoid the passenger front bumper of my vehicle from hitting the rear of that car. At this point, my vehicleâs engine shut off and the HondaLink automatically dialed for help.
