Sudden acceleration. Had foot on the brake in a parking spot, the car suddenly accelerated. The engine raced and the car propelled forward, jumped the curb and stopped when hitting a tree. The accelerator pedal was not touched, and the braked did not hold it. Luckily, no one was in front of the car. Honda has denied any responsibility, and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. Have had the car for 3 months, and 1800 miles. Obviously, the first time this has happened.
