My wife's 2012 odyssey touring was parked on the ramp to our garage, with the emergency brake on. I released the brake and applied slight pressure to the accelerator with the car in reverse gear: it lurched backward and the brake could not stop it, though a neighbor's garage did. When i drove it forward to park it the car sped forward thirty feet or so before it obeyed the brake. The garage will need a new door --…

I was turning right into a parking space with foot on brake (there was no need for acceleration to get into the parking spot)- when suddenly the car sped up really fast on its own (like the gas pedal was being applied- only my foot was on the brake the entire time). The car went crashing into the median- catching the undercarriage causing it to stop. I immediately put the car into park. The force and speed in which…

When pressing the accelerator, the vehicle hesitates, then surges forward at a high rate of speed. This happens quite often with no pattern or indication. I questioned the dealer and they said it was due to the wireless method used to transmit the signal from the accelerator to the injection system. They said i would have to learn to live with it. *tr
