I drove my car in rush hour traffic for 1 hr., turned into parking
lot, drove up hill around corners of 2 1/2 levels with foot on gas
enough to keep 10 miles hr. speed. Turned into empty parking slot
with tiny amount of gas- removed foot from gas ready to step on brake
(facing cement wall)........my car accelerated forward bouncing 3 ft.
back off cement wall- airbag in my face-(accelerated very fast)-...car
full of fumes from airbag, arm burnt & bleeding-


$10,000 cnd. to repair damage to front end- I reported to my insurance
company that this accident was not driver error- cruise control was
off- there was a mechanical problem with car. I refused to drive it
until it was completely checked out by Honda- so Honda agreed to pick
it up from body shop. Mechanic drove it around for 2 days then called
and said he had replaced the throttle cable as it was sticking but
that would not cause any acceleration of this type- --unless car was
cold.

At the time of accident the car was 1 yrs. old- I question why
throttle cable would need replacing- and that there is something still
mechanically wrong. (do not feel comfortable driving it-the value of
my car is reduced due to accident-my 15 yrs. safe driving reduced to 8
and insurace cost increased)

How and what can I do to pursue this accident? I am absolutely
positive I did not step on the gas petal facing a cement wall - my
foot was off the gas and ready to brake- acceleration at this speed
impossible.

Any info please??
thank you

Karen.
