Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 21 december 2006, i was driving our 2003 acura 3.2tl type s with an automatic transmission when the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly decelerated violently from 50 miles an hour to a full stop. the tires were squealing as if the brakes had been applied. this nearly caused me to be rear ended by the car behind and could have caused a multi-car collision. after the incident, the car had no drive gears available, including reverse. after sitting on the side of the road for approximately 30 minutes, the vehicle could be driven in 1st gear only and i took it directly to the acura dealer where it still sits. *jb
