This problem has occurred twice. The first time the engine speed increased with the brakes being applied. I checked for an obstruction of a floor mat and there was no obstruction. The most recent time was yesterday (oct. 17, 2013) and again the car accelerated with my foot on the brake. This could cause an accident. I will visit honda and advise the service manager. *tr
