ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER, 24, AT APPROXIMATE 9:45 AM I WAS DRIVING UPHILL AND NOTICED MY ENGINE WAS MAKING AN ODD SOUND. IT MADE IT WHEN I ACCELERATED, BUT STOPPED AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. AS I GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL, THERE WAS NO MORE SOUND. ABOUT 1 MINUTE LATER I PULLED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, THE CAR WAS ON A SLIGHT UPWARD ANGLE, AND I WAS GOING TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN VALITION. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 FEET AWAY FROM A PARKED CAR, AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING FULL SPEED TOWARDS THIS CAR. AT THE TIME, I BELIEVE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, WHICH MADE IT EVEN MORE SHOCKING WHY THE CAR WAS PROPELLING FORWARD. I QUICKLY STOMPED ON THE BRAKE AGAIN AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. IT HIT THE PARKED CAR WITH TWO OCCUPANTS.

[2016 HONDA PILOT EXL AWD WITH SENSING, 28 K MILES AND 2.4 YEARS SINCE PURCHASE] ON FRIDAY AUG/24/2018 WHILE DRIVING HOME (AROUND 40MPH) THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR BARELY 4-5 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED OFF. DID NOT NOTICE ANY MAJOR ISSUES THEN. ON SUNDAY 26/AUG/2018 WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30-35 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED (DID NOT NOTICE THE ORANGE BRAKE SIGN OR THE COLLISION WARNING BEEP SOUND). I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE WITH NO ONE BEHIND OR AHEAD OF ME AND NO OBSTACLES IN FRONT. TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHT AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE VSA LIGHT WAS ON. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND JUST KEPT REVVING WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE, NO CHANGE. PUSHED THE VSA BUTTON TO TURN OFF VSA AND BOTH THE VSA LIGHT AND THE VSA OFF LIGHT STAYED ON BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL NOT MOVE. SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AFTER WHICH THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND THE CAR STARTED MOVING (ALTHOUGH SLOWLY). DROVE HOME WITH VSA TURNED OFF AND AT A SPEED OF AROUND 20-30 MPH. THE ABRUPT BRAKING/STOPPING WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED A COLLISION EVEN IN REGULAR TRAFFIC ON ANY OTHER DAY. NOTE: THE KEY FOB WAS LOW ON BATTERY AND THE ONLY OTHER WARNING I HAD ON THE CONSOLE WAS ONE INFORMING ABOUT THE KEY FOB BATTERY BEING LOW.

I HAD PULLED OUT OF A PARKING PLACE AND WAS WAITING IN THE TRAFFIC LANE TO EXIT THE AREA. THERE WERE TWO CARS IN FRONT OF US. THE CARS WERE STOPPED. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 20-25 FEET BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IN MY CAR TO LET IT IDLE FORWARD. AS I APPROACHED THE YUKON I REAPPLIED THE BRAKE. THE CAR ACCELERATED TO WHAT SOUNDED LIKE FULL RPM'S AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE YUKON WITH SUCH AN IMPACT THAT BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HIT ME IN THE FACE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT REACH MY WIFE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCED SEVERE CHEST PAIN AND RAPID HEART BEAT. BYSTANDERS CALLED 911 AND TWO PARK RANGERS ARRIVED IN APPROX. 15-20 MINUTES. THE RANGERS FINISHED TAKING PICTURES AND ASKED ME TO PULL IN TO A PARKING SPOT OUT OF THE TRAVEL LANE OF THE PARKING LOT. I STARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED SLOWLY AND TURNED INTO A PARKING SPOT. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO PARK, THE SAME PHENOMENON OCCURRED AGAIN. THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD OVER A CURB AND WALKWAY AND STRUCK A PEDESTRIAN BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON A RETAINING WALL. I DESPERATELY TRIED TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE EMS WAS THERE SHORTLY AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE. A RANGER ASKED ME HOW FAST I WAS MOVING AND I STATED I HAD NO IDEA. I ASKED HIM TO ASK THE RANGER WHO WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND HE SAID 5 MPH. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AFTER THEY TRANSPORTED THE PEDESTRIAN ON THE BACKBOARD.THE AMBULANCE WAS READY TO TAKE MY WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL SO I APPROACHED THE PARK RANGER AND TOLD HIM THAT I NEEDED TO RIDE IN THE AMBULANCE WITH MY WIFE.

MY FAMILY TRAVELED IN THIS VEHICLE TO CARLSBAD LAST WEEK FOR VACATION, INCLUDING MYSELF, MY WIFE, OUR 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 11 YEAR OLD SON. THE VEHICLE WORKED PERFECTLY UNTIL WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2017. WE WERE ON I-10 APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR EAST OF PHOENIX IN THE RIGHT LANE WITH THE CRUSE SET AT THE 75MPH SPEED LIMIT. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF US FOR AT LEAST A MILE. ALL THE SUDDEN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER, NEARLY ALL THE VEHICLE SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED AT AN EMERGENCY RATE DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY HIT 'CANCEL' ON THE CRUISE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLOW QUICKLY. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE 18 WHEEL TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND US MAKE AN EMERGENCY SWERVE TO THE LEFT AND MISSED HITTING US BY INCHES. WE WERE NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN FATAL. ALL THIS TOOK PLACE IN ABOUT A 5-10 SECOND TIMEFRAME. AFTER STOPPING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD I MADE NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM, AN AWD PROBLEM AND I THINK JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER ISSUE LIGHT WAS LIT UP. I TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR AND THE DASH KEPT INDICATING A TRANSMISSION AND AWD PROBLEM. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. AT THAT POINT THE ONLY INDICATOR LIGHT THAT LIT UP WAS THE EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM (SEE ATTACHED PICTURE). I REENTERED THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. WE STOPPED AT THE NEXT GAS STATION AND FILLED THE GAS TANK AND UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE EMISSION LIGHT WAS STILL ON. WE CAREFULLY DROVE HOME AT 65'70MPH. THE FOLLOWING DAY (SUNDAY), THE EMISSION LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT 10881962 IN WHICH ONE OF MY FEARS HAS COME TO FRUITION. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN THE NORMAL MODE (ACC AND LKAS DISABLED) ON A NORMAL TWO LANE PAVED ROAD WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MADE A SLOW RIGHT TURN. I WAS NOT FOLLOWING VERY CLOSELY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON MY OWN TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE OTHER CAR. I STOPPED ABOUT 15 FEET AWAY FROM THE OTHER CAR. THE OTHER CAR THEN COMPLETED THE TURN TO THE EXTENT THAT THE OTHER CAR WAS NO LONGER IN THE WAY OF ME DRIVING FORWARD IN A STRAIGHT LINE. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS TO THEN PROCEED THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM STARTED FLASHING THE "BRAKE" MESSAGE AND PRODUCING AN AUDIBLE WARNING. AT THIS POINT I WAS POSSIBLY GOING 10 MPH AGAIN. AFTER VERIFYING THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY NOT ANYTHING IN MY WAY, I KEPT APPLYING THE GAS. MY CAR THEN STARTED BRAKING ON ITS OWN, AT WHICH POINT I PUSHED THE GAS HARDER TO PRESUMABLY OVER-RIDE THE BRAKING. A MOMENT OR TWO LATER, MY CAR THEN MADE A SUDDEN AND HARD BRAKE ON ITS OWN THAT BROUGHT MY CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS PUSHING HARD ON THE GAS. THE OTHER CAR THAT HAD TURNED WAS WELL CLEAR OF THE LANE BY THIS POINT, AND WAS EASILY 1 FT AWAY FROM MY PATH OF TRAVEL WHEN I STARTED ACCELERATING IN THE FIRST PLACE. MY ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM WAS CONFUSED BY THE LACK OF A SHOULDER LANE MARKER (ONLY A RAISE CEMENT CURB WAS PRESENT) AND SOMEHOW THOUGHT THE CAR WAS STILL IN THE "ROAD." IN EITHER CASE, THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED TO THE POINT THAT MY CAR WAS SUDDENLY BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THE CAR BEHIND ME VERY NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAD ALREADY COME TO A STOP, AND THE OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF ME HAD CLEARED / CONTINUED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE CLEAR OF MY PATH. THE SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS AND CLEARLY MISINTERPRETED BY MY CAR.
