On XXX our 2026 Honda CRV Hybrid had a sudden unintended acceleration ending in a collision with a tree. The car was in a low speed and being parked in a parking lot. While slowing down or decelerating, the CRV surged forward. The collision repairs cost approximately 15,000. Due to the fact that it happened in a parking lot on private property, no police report was filed. State Farm, our insurance was notified and we were encouraged to call Caliber Collision. State Farm sent a tow truck and our CRV was taken to Caliber Collision the same day. At the time of the collision, no air bag was deployed. As the driver at the time, the incident happened very quickly, and I was thankful the vehicle hit a tree and not a person. I can honestly say my foot was NOT on the acceleration pedal. After arriving home, I began checking for other similar incidents and found a report of UNINTENDED/PHANTOM acceleration complaints while the cars were at low speeds while trying to park or decelerate. This report was attached to the Lemberg Law in [XXX]. I reached out to the law firm inquiring about data they have collected. Their response, "Yes, we are aware of the issue and investigating it further." In the meantime, other reports on the internet were also located AND another owner of a CRV 2026 Hybrid living in our area also experienced the same surge while parking, hitting a sign. Honda Customer Service was contacted. I spoke with [XXX] at American Honda. She assigned a case number and asked that I call her when the car was returned and fixed. [XXX] stated that American Honda would send a technician to checkout the car. I've try to call [XXX] three different times, and she has never returned the call. My State Farm agent has also tried to call [XXX] at American Honda and has never received a callback. Now, Honda appears to be avoiding the situation, although [XXX] stated, "We take safety very seriously." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA) I was pulling into a parking spot in a parking structure. I was coasting into the spot and applied the brakes. Upon releasing the break and allowing the car to coast, it unintentionally lurched forward with some acceleration even though I did not press on the gas petal. This results in the car lurching forward and hitting the parking garage wall. A call to the dealer indicated there is no reported problems of this kind and there are no recalls. There were no symptoms or lights indicating a potential problem. Car is only 4.5 months old and purchased new. This was the first instance of this happening.
