## Narrative
On August 29, 2026 our 2026 Honda CRV Hybrid had a sudden unintended acceleration ending in a collision with a tree.  The car was in a low speed and being parked in a parking lot.  While slowing down or decelerating, the CRV surged forward.  The collision repairs cost approximately 15,000.

After arriving home, I began checking for other similar incidents and found a report of UNINTENDED/PHANTOM  acceleration complaints while the cars were at low speeds while trying to park or decelerate.   This report was attached to the Lemberg Law in Wilton, Connecticut.  I reached out to the law firm inquiring about data they have collected.  Their response, "Yes, we are aware of the issue and investigating it further."    In the meantime, other reports on the internet were also located AND another owner of a CRV 2026 Hybrid living in our area also experienced the same surge while parking, hitting a sign.  Honda Customer Service was contacted.  I spoke with Eileen at American Ho
