What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while stopping at a red light, depressing the service brake pedal caused unintended acceleration instead of stopping the vehicle. Increased pressure on the brake pedal resulted in increased acceleration until the vehicle collided with the rear of a pickup truck. The front end of the vehicle sustained damage, but the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence.
At 42k miles, brake wear indicator began to indicate premature wear on left rear wheel. I know this was a problem with 2008-2009 and some 2010 models, figured it should have been fixed when I received mine.
