AFTER STARTING MY CAR IN A SMALL PARKING LOT, I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND I PRESSED GENTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR LURCHED BACKWARD AND KEPT ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH I APPLIED THE BRAKES. AFTER IT HAD SMASHED INTO THE PARKING LOT CURB, SHRUBS AND CARS PARKED 20 TO 30 FEET BEHIND ME, IT FINALLY STOPPED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN AND MY CAR CONTACTED THE FIRST FIXED OBJECT. FORTUNATELY, THE OTHER CARS WERE EMPTY SO I WAS THE ONLY ONE INJURED. MY CAR AND TWO OTHERS SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. TWO OTHER CARS WERE DAMAGED SLIGHTLY.

MY HONDAY ACCORD HYBRID DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE TIRE. IT JUST COMES WITH A SEALING KIT TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THE FLAT TIRE. ON MAY 30TH I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY AND GOT A FLAT TIRE. I TRIED THE SEALING KIT ACCORDING TO ITS INSTRUCTION, IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AWAY. THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR KIT DID NOT WORK AT THE TIME OF NEED IS ONE ISSUE. MY MAIN ISSUE IS NOT THAT, IT'S THE FACT THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT OUT OF TOWN. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS TRAVELLING OUT OF STATE, AND HAD A FLAT TIRE, I COULD BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. ON JUNE 14 I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA CORPORATION AND REQUESTED THAT THEY PROVIDE ME WITH A COMPACT SPARE TIRE THAT I CAN CARRY IN MY CAR TRUNK. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND INFORMED ME THAT HONDA WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A SPARE TIRE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE OTHER OWNERS OF HONDA HYBRID HAVE SAME CONCERN AND THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR EITHER. IN ANY CASE I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU.
