2009 Honda Civic cruise control problems

My 2009 (automatic) honda civic ex slipped into neutral four during the night. For the first three times, the driver would allow the rpm's to drop causing us to sit in traffic for an undefined period of time before returning the car to the drive position. On the fourth time this happened, driver and I were in a large parking lot making a right turn with a building about a football field away. About halfway through the turn, the car was placed back into drive from neutral and it began to drive itself.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda civic hybrid. When he applied pressure to the accelerator pedal while entering a parking space, the vehicle accelerated without intention. The vehicle jumped the roadway curb. The engine had to be turned off to discontinue vehicle acceleration. The manufacturer was notified of the malfunction. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 12,329. The current mileage was 13,000.
