What owners wrote
I previously drove my aunt's 2005 honda accord hybrid on several occasions. Almost as soon as the vehicle was purchased, on more than one occasion, the brakes failed and caused accidents. The accelerator would also accelerate on its own. The car would simply speed up on its own. The car would also at times stop or turn off on its own. I assumed because the car was a hybrid or different that it was normal. At times when accidents would occur, I couldn't believe what had happened. The car literally drove away.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 15 MPH on a slight incline; proceeding into an intersection. While braking there was a sudden acceleration. The vehicle failed to slow down, and crashed into a concrete block. The vehicle continued to travel on an upward incline and stalled. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer. The front end of the vehicle, the front and rear passenger doors were damaged.
