NHTSA complaint: 2010 HONDA RIDGELINE — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM REPORTING UNWANTED, EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION FOR MY 2010 HONDA RIDGELINE. AFTER TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, I WAS EASING INTO MY DESIRED PARKING SPACE AND, SINCE THERE WAS A SLIGHT INCLINE, I LIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO INCH FURTHER INTO THE SPACE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, TO MY SURPRISE AND WITHOUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACT, THE TRUCK ACCELERATED GREATLY, PROPELLING ITSELF OVER A 5 INCH CURB, PAST TWO FEET OF SPACE, AND THROUGH THE WALL OF A BUILDING. THE FORCE OF THE SUDDEN IMPACT WAS SO GREAT THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE HOOD WAS BENT AND THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED - ALSO PUNCHING A 3 FOOT WIDE HOLE INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, EXPOSING ITS INTERIOR. *TR
