Description of the problem	Sudden unintended acceleration : while my wife was driving the vehicle on the driving lane on i-5 south at about 60mph and i was at passenger's seat, my wife yelled "the car is getting faster and faster." and i told her to step on the brake. She said she was already peddling the brake but it did not work, and the car was approaching to a big truck in front of us with frightening speed. Since there were many cars in front, behind and on the passing lane at the time of the incident, we could not do anything else but steering the car to the right side off the driving lane in order to avoid fatal accident. There was space covered with rough grasses, bushes and soft fences there. The vehicle kept moving along, crashing the objects with high speed of about more than 85 mph. Finally the car stopped after going along more than 50 yards. As soon as the car stopped, we barely opened the doors and escaped from the terribly damaged car. The car's front side was facing backward, and i heard afterward that my wife used the hand brake to stop the car. Air bags of driver's and passenger's seat, and side airbag were deployed. Other three cars stopped at the scene off the lane, and advised us to remove valuables inside the car, because it may catch fire. They called 911, and fire fighters and the police arrived at the scene. I reported the accident to my insurance, dmv, and honda usa. My wife's right knee got bruise, and i have light pain on the left side of my neck and chest. My wife is panic, and afraid of driving. I am also very much shocked. I know honda would not easily admit the defect of the car, even though it will investigate the car. But i swear to god that the sua took place. Now i believe that sua occurs without driver's maloperation of the car, because there was absolutely no misoperation of the car. I please request nhtsa consider this incident very seriously. Thanks

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
