While traveling in stop and go traffic, I was fully stopped with my foot on the brake peddle. Suddenly I heard & felt the engine of my car revving up. My car catapulted forward about 20 feet hitting the car in front of me. I applied more pressure on the brake peddle but could not stop the forward momentum of my car. Both cars sustained damage. The other driver was taken to the hospital in an ambulance because she complained of head, neck & back pain.
I have a 2013 Honda CRV. About 20% of the time when I put on the cruise control the car will start accelerating quickly - going from about 55 mph to 70 mph within 10 seconds or so. Pushing the cancel button does nothing. I have to step on the brakes to disengage the cruise control. The main highway out of town has a speed limit of 55 mph. If I don't watch closely to make sure the car won't accelerate I can be up to 70 mph quickly and I doubt a police officer would believe my explanation. Fortunately I have not gotten a speeding ticket. This was not a problem when I first got the car four months ago. It started about one month ago.
