March 19,2016 I was in a small parking lot. I started the car push gently on the accelerator and the car hit the first car on the driver side and the airbags deployed and the hood came up. It hit the passenger side and I applied the brake . It hit two other parked cars behind me and a curb and finally stopped.the car kept accelerating.fortunately the other cars were empty so I was the only one injured. Williamsburg,virginia

I can't see clear image any object behind me because the rear windshield are waviness or curving around, steamy seems like you driving in a real hot desert area. I am worry about my safety because is hybrid car easy catch on fire and rear windshield are right above the huge pack of battery! The service manager of honda checked & said every accord hybrid is like that on the windshield but not on regular gas accord. Honda can't change it because it might be the design of the hybrid.
