“I experienced sudden violent full acceleration with a 1988 Acura Legend, which resulted in a crash into a building, and a very badly broken leg for me. I have been made aware of possibly thousands of complaints of the same problem with the 1986-1988 Acura Legend, and am sure there must be thousands more still on the road. Are there any group lawsuits currently being put forth, or can you provide me with any suggestions for receiving justice in this matter?”
