I was in a parking lot and pulling into a spot. My car suddenly took off as though i had my foot hard on the gas. I slammed on the brakes, but did not stop until my car jumped a curb and crashed into the wall of the building in front of me. I was able to back out and park my car after this. It still runs and there is minimal damage to the front of the car, but I am more concerned about what mechanical or electrical defect caused my car to accelerate without my engaging the gas pedal. I've seen other complaints where Honda came back saying it was user error or something with the floor mat, but my floor mat was secured and not anywhere near the pedals. This car was purchased in February 2016 and this occurred in August 2016. It is hard to explain, but felt as though my car had a mind of its own. I know i did not have my foot on the wrong pedal or accidentally accelerate instead of braking. there was a good 20 feet between where i began to turn into the spot and where i hit the wall, and i could have stopped if my brakes had responded.
