The contact owns a 2018 Honda Motorcycle Gold Wing Tour. The contact stated that he tapped on the throttle upon parking his motorcycle in a parking lot, which caused the motorcycle to independently accelerate without warning. The motorcycle crashed into two pillars in front of a convenience store which stopped the unintended acceleration by bringing the vehicle to a stop. Police were called to the scene and a police report was filed. The contact was able to drive the motorcycle back to his home, once home, he was taken to a hospital and treated for a bruised right leg. The front end of the motorcycle was damaged due to failure and had remained parked in his garage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls associated with the VIN. The contact was then referred to a dealer where they requested to have the throttle sent to the manufacturer for an investigation. The motorcycle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

I was seated on my 2018 dct goldwing, having just rolled back out of parking space in the church parking lot, (I did not use the reverse function) it was running, when I pushed "d" for drive it shot out forward on it's own, as if the throttle was wide open. Within 1 second or less I rear ended another 2018 goldwing about 1 car length in front of me. We both crashed. No significant bodily injury to us. But this could have caused serious injury of death to bystanders in the parking lot if we had hit them. I was not twisting the throttle, as the parking lot was crowded. The engine did not slow till it hit the ground when the auto kill engaged. I fear there was a malfunction in either the throttle by wire, or computer controls. There have been reports of other 2018 dcts that lunged forward without twisting the throttle.

2 incidents- may 26th 2019 and november 24th 2019. At a stop on a street - this motorcycle has the honda 7 speed dual clutch transmission - transmission in drive, the gold wing tour dct motorcycle engine rpms increased without opening the throttle causing the bike to leap forward unexpectedly. The first occurrence in may happened while the front brake was applied which was not sufficient as the engine power overcame the brakes and jumped forward about 6 feet - the bike was stopped by engaging the kill switch. The second time in november my hand was not on the right handle - throttle - when the engine surged unexpectedly and caused the bike to go forward about 4 feet before I could grab the brakes and stop forward motion. Fortunately in both cases there was not a vehicle in front of me......
