AFTER CRANKING THE CAR THE GEARSHIFT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO PRY THE CAP OFF THE SLOT TO THE LEFT OF THE P AND STICK A SCREWDRIVER IN TO RELEASE THE GEARSHIFT AND THEN PULL IT DOWN TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE CAR WOULD THEN CRANK AND SHIFT LIKE NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE BUT ALWAYS IN THE WINTER. IT HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH MICHIGAN AND ARKANSAS. I ALWAYS FEAR THAT ONE DAY IT WON'T RELEASE AND I WILL BE STUCK SOMEWHERE.

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.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE LEFT LANE AT A SPEED OF 60-65 MPH, ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS ON THE CAR REPORTED ERROR AND I LOST THE BRAKES ON THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO THE RIGHT MOST LANE AND EVENTUALLY ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND COME TO A ROLLING STOP BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR TO SEE IF THE SENSORS RESET, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME AND THEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER A DAY THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME BACK AND SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF A SIMULATOR…

@ 96,970 miles, (2021 Honda Accord Hybrid) when getting on the freeway and accelerating to catch up with traffic, the car began sputtering, the check engine light flashed, the accelerator stopped working and I had to get it to the shoulder of the freeway immediately.

I got it to the dealer. The Service Rep said he had never heard of this issue although it d…
