Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was pulling out of a driveway (store) onto a main road at less than 5 miles per hour. stepped on brake because cars were stopped for red light. car suddenly accelerated and wouldn't stop, no matter how hard i hit the brakes. i grazed the rear bumper of the car in front of me as i swerved to avoid hitting it. went into a tree to avoid hitting anything or anyone else. acura dealer swore it couldn't happen and there was nothing wrong with the car, but i found six other instances of this problem on your web site. reported it to metuchen, nj police. this was the second such occurrence, but the dealer convinced me the first was driver error. the consumer believed the accident was related to the transmission recall. *jb
