The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that after stopping at a stop sign and making a right turn, the vehicle immediately experienced unintended acceleration and veered to the right before crashing into a telephone pole. During the crash, the driver sustained a head and hand injury which required medical treatment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failures was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the incident.
On [XXX] just got off [XXX] driving on [XXX] street when there a red came on on my dashboard, then as if someone else stepped on my accelarator. The Honda Accord 2017 hybrid started accelerating. There were cars in front of me, I believed next to me that I am going to crash into. My only option was to turn to the left to stop the car from me hitting another driver. I went into the divider and hit a tree which stopped the car. My car is in the body shop right now pending estimate and insurance recommendation.
Sometimes the car starts when I use the push to start button most times it doesn't. I have a to carry a portable battery so I won't get stuck at whatever destination I arrive. I had the battery checked. Nothing is wrong with battery
