general problems of the 2001 Acura CL

I was stopped in heavy traffic. The traffic light turned green and the cars in front of me started to move. I tapped my accelerator with my right foot and the gasoline was delivered to my engine with maximum force. I could not stop the car with my foot on the brake. I steered the car to the right so that I would not rearend the car in front of me. The car sideswiped the car I front of me and I went into an embankment and stopped. A police officer thought I may have hit both the brake and the accelerator pedal with my right foot, but he did not understand that I was only going about 5 mph when the accelerator exploded, so that this was impossible. The Acura agency in latham says that I could have switched off the ignition, but with both hands gripping the steering wheel and my right foot pressing the brake pedal with maximum force, I could not have turned off the ignition at the same time. Therefore the advice was not practical.

Takata recall. My transmission is acting up. ???.

Several broken motor mounts in 2001 Acura 3. 2cl. This likely will lead to defects in transmission and or engine which can cause an accident. This information on broken motor mounts on my vehicle and the likely affects came directly from my Acura dealer. It is likely these motor mounts were broken several thousand miles ago. In 2008 the car mileage was only 65,000 and when I purchased the car on Dec. 7,2009 it has 92,000. I had the vehicle inspected at time of purchase and the broken motor mounts were found by the Acura dealership. I am 62 years old and have never experienced broken motor mounts in any of 20 cars I have owned until now. There should be a recall on these motor mounts, or a credit provided by the manufacture to owners that need to replace broken motor mounts. This truly is a safety issue. The only recall on this vehicle has been for the automatic transmission and quite possibly these broken motor mounts have been the cause or a possible cause. Owners need to be informed about this safety issue as soon as possible by inspections being performed on motor mounts for 2001 Acura 3. 2cl. I would appreciate any help on this issue.

The contact owns a 2001 Acura 3. 2 Cl. While driving 50 mph, the engine and steering wheel vibrated, shook, and wobbled. The dealer stated that the vehicle was not under warranty and the repair would be his responsibility. The contact also stated that the vehicle would automatically accelerate when stopped at a traffic light. On January 9, 2008, the contact went to trade in the vehicle and was informed that it was a salvaged vehicle. He was referred to NHTSA by his credit union. The current mileage was 117,374 and failure mileage was 50,000.
