MY CAR WAS PARKED ON THE RIGHT HAD SIDE OF THE ROAD, FRONT WHEELS TURNED TOWARDS THE CURB. I TURNED ON THE IGNITION, PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL OVER THE SIDEWALK AND UP INTO A FRONT YARD, SLOWING DOWN OVER A BONSAI TREE. I SHIFTED THE GEARS INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED BACKWARDS, STILL OUT OF CONTROL (BRAKES DIDN'T WORK) UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A TREE ON THE SIDEWALK AND CAME TO A HALT. I HAD A PASSENGER AND 2 OTHER WITNESSES BUT HONDA SAY THEY CAN NOT "DUPLICATE" THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. DT
