| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I tried to put my car in reverse after starting it one day to no avail. i placed a screw driver in the shift lock position as the owner's manual stated. i called the acura dealership and told them the problem. they didn't have a loaner car available and asked me to come in a day later. on my way to the dealership for my appointment the next day, i had complete brake failure while going 65 miles an hour on a tollway. the next 14 miles i tried to get the car to slow down. i tried to shift to neutral and put the car in accessory, but nothing worked including the emergency brake. in fact the car accelerated without me ever touching the accelerator. finally i exited off the highway and purposely wrecked the car to avoid injury to others at such a high rate of speed. the car was on fire when i finally stopped. luckily i was alive. i broke my foot and popped 2 vertebrae in my neck. *tr |
