At least once a month with lane keep assist on, and a vehicle in the lane to my right, an emergency braking maneuver happens automatically. I have to disconnect the system

Purchased new 2020 Honda Accord on September 28, 2020. On October 13, 2020 I was pulling into a parking space at a retail store. Going 2 or 3 miles per hour with foot on brake turning into space on my right with steering wheel turned to the right. Suddenly engine roared and car would not stop even with my foot firmly on the brake until it hit a pole. I have since learned it is called unintended acceleration. After crash I drove car to another parking spot. Car was in park and I was on the phone and all of a sudden engine roared - same sound when crash occurred. Honda sent their investigator out and told me all car functions were ok. Car was repaired for $7000.00 On June 1, 2022 the same exact thing occurred as I was pulling into a parking spot on my right with steering wheel turned to the right. As the first incident engine suddenly roared and with my foot firmly on the brake car would not stop until it crashed into the store concrete wall. This car has something wrong with it. There are other stories out there with same story as people are parking the car. The car was towed to a collision shop and I am going to the Honda Dealer I purchased it from to insist this car is a danger to me and others and I cannot drive this any longer. I first wanted to report this before I did anything else.

CMS - collision mitigation system stops working completely. 2 warning lamps on dash. Cruise control completely inoperative. Vehicle was initially inspected by dealer on 11/19/21with DTC U0401-92 - Temporary stop of integrated driver support system (rejected control request), also found U0416-68 VSA system malfunction. This issue happens every 1-3 thousand miles. Also with the CMS/braking system, it will alert "brake" on dash and brake hard if encountering repetitive shadows from objects that are cast onto the road. My safety and others safety were compromised due to hard braking and cars behind me that then had to brake, nearly rear-ending my car.

2020 ACCORD 2.0T SPORT 10,600 MILES I WAS TRAVELING ACROSS THE STATE WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT AND HEAVY RAIN. ABOUT HALFWAY INTO MY ~280 MILE TRIP I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM THE LIGHT, MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING, WITH NO OTHER WARNING MESSAGES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED TO FIND NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE LATE IN THE EVENING SO I CONTINUED TO THE DESTINATION. WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES TO GO, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AROUND A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE AND WAS MET WITH PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS MANY WARNING MESSAGES. TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR ENABLED ME TO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT THE WARNING MESSAGES REMAIN. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED IT WAS RAINING. BOTH TIMES I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION.
