The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while stopping at a red light, depressing the service brake pedal caused unintended acceleration instead of stopping the vehicle. Increased pressure on the brake pedal resulted in increased acceleration until the vehicle collided with the rear of a pickup truck. The front end of the vehicle sustained damage, but the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The contact and the contact's spouse received medical treatment for minor bruises sustained during the crash. A police report was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine piston rings failed or malfunctioned.
