| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was on the highway with heavy traffic and i was at a full stop on the right lane when my car lunged forward. i pressed the brakes harder and when nothing happened i tried to get into the exit lane which luckily was right next to me. unfortunatley i hit the rear right hand side of the vehicle in front of me and the car still did not stop. it kept going at which time i released the brake and pressed it again thinking maybe it locked up or something. the vehicle still did not stop. i was almost out of the highway when i put the car in neutral and it finally slowed down. i put it in park and turned off the engine. needless to say i was in shock and trembling uncontrollably. the car went off so far it took the other driver approximately 5 minutes to reach me. i read about 7 complaints of the same thing happening and nothing was done in 5 incidents. two of the vehicles had an idle air control vavle replaced which i hope solved the problem. i sent these complaints to my insurance company and to the repair shop. i think this is an issue that needs to be addressed by acura immediately. this is not a faulty head light, it's a safety issue. had i been just a little closer to the vehicle in front of me, the accident could have been worse and involved more vehicles. the officer said i might have had my foot on both the brakes and the gas pedal but i am 120% positive that my foot was only on the brakes. this was also not human error. i was fully stopped and aware, i was not playing with the radio or on the phone. if this is not resolved i do not want this car. *nm |
