NHTSA complaint #11354350, filed 2020-09, 143,000 miles“After I drove my 2007 up my driveway on a hill, parked, and got out, the car began moving back out in reverse damaging the car door and garage wall. This car also will accelerate on its own even while on the brakes. My dealership and Acura was unwilling to address the concern.”

I slowly entered underground parking garage with brakes on, turned into parking stall (brakes on) and vehicle suddenly, rapidly accelerated, over riding brakes and crashed head on into cement wall causing airbag to deploy. Over $9000.00 in damage was done to the vehicle.

NHTSA complaint #10468812, filed 2012-08, 68,994 miles“I had two events. One while driving at 20 MPH in my neighborhood and straight line driving and car suddenly accelerated. I threw car in neutral and stepped on gas hard for a second and cancelation stopped. Then five minutes later, while making a left turn, same exact event took place. I did the same thing. I had the brakes on hard and no stopping car. First time car has done this and I am only driver for six years. Brought to Acura and they sent a corporate mechanic to check and said they found nothing. Just got car back. A little scary.”

My speed was reduce immediately from 60 MPH to 20 MPH and the RPM dropped from 3 to below 1. The car became sluggish and acted as though it was stalling. The car was immediately sent in for repair and I was told the solenoid was not installed correctly which cause the vehicle timing to be incorrect. …”
