On sat dec 10 2018 i was bulling in to a parking space at walmart after 7am. i was going slowly and started a left turn into a parking space. as i turned i was lightly on the brake, suddenly the engine revved to a high speed and the car surged forward. i pushed hard on the brakes but it still kept going at a lower rate but i could not stop, it was making straining creaking sounds. i had turned left to avoid the suv facing me in the other space facing me when it surged forward. there was a cart corral there that i hit and pushed it and it swung around and moved into the driving lane still moving. i pushed the gear shift into neutral and the revves dropped immediately and the car stopped then. there was no reason for the engine to speed up, i was braking lightly as i approached the parking space and i continued trying to brake until it finally stopped. i was at no time on the gas peddle, there was not carpet or other object to interfere with the gas peddle. when i moved the shift lever to neutral the engine dropped to a idle immediately. there was scratches on the hood, bumper and headlight cover and small dent in driver door. no injuries and i was able to push the corral back in place by hand. i researched unexplained acceleration for acura and honda and found accounts of honda incidents very similar to mine with much worse .outcomes. i filed an insurance claim and now i am going to contact acura. i took pictures with my phone but haven't gotten them to the computer
Drivers side seat appears to be loose at a rivited joint.
Please move odi 10132694 and 10132696 to the honda rsx area as i was unable to find the honda rsx area when first submitting the complaint. thank you. *jb
