Car accelerated and brakes failed completely. This was a fatality accident. When approaching a red light the car did not slow down at all. This accident occured in the middle of a clear day. Reports showed the driver had no alcohol or drugs in their system. I have the black box data that was recovered from the scene and can forward it to you as an attachment.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda pilot. While decelerating from 25 MPH, the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact depressed the brake pedal and shifted the vehicle into neutral. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of failure. The powertrain was unknown. The current mileage was 3,000 and failure mileage was 2,000.
While attempting to stop at a stop sign the engine raced to 3500-4000 rpms. I put it neutral and stood on the brake. The shifted gears from neutral to drive and reverse, and the acceleration stopped with a pop and went back to 1500. There was no injury or accident, but I was scared to death. This was the third occurrence in a week in a 2 week old honda pilot with 180 miles on it.
