Description of the problem | I was leaving a parking lot, approaching a gate with an inductive-loop traffic detector, which can detect vehicles passing or arriving at a certain point, once a vehicle is detected the gate would open. I was approaching, maybe 50 feet from the gate, at approximately 5 mph, when the engine of my 2017 honda civic revved up and accelerated forward towards the gate. My foot was not on the accelerator, as i was approaching the gate which was still closed. There was no debris on the floor board or anything obstructing the pedals that would have caused it to depress the accelerator. I had to abruptly depress the brake pedal to avoid striking the gate. My honda is equipped with honda sensing and i have no idea how this could have occurred, may be an electrical issue with the throttle sensor because the "brake" warning was on, it observed the gate. |
