For a couple days my car would begin stalling while I was driving on the highway. I felt like it slowed down to shift out of gear but never completely shifted. Then, one day when I was driving, on my way home my car slipped out of gear completely and I couldn't drive forward. My car only allowed me to go in reverse. 2after allowing it to sit for a while it would drive but while trying to drive home it constantly slipped out of gear which was very dangerous especially when it happened at an intersection.

Runaway car: I backed out of a business parking space and barely tapped on the accelerator to move forward. I know I hardly touched the accelerator because I was goinig to make an immediate turn onto a side streeet with a stop sign. As soon as I tapped the gas pedal, the car went forward with full power. My foot went to the brake instantly but the brakes did nothing. My niece and I flew across the side street, through a foot high concrete barrier (breaking it), a hedge then in another business's parking lot where the car came to an instant stop. The airbags deployed and it was over. We were never so scared in our lives. We stopped just sort of going into a street full of traffic. The insurance company wouldn't believe what happened because Acura's are not listed with any recalls. My floor mats were not in because I just had the car detailed so they were damp. There was no mix up re the brake and acceerator petals because I moved my foot to another petal. I don't know if the accerator was down all the way, there was no time to see as I was busy trying to stop the car. It is my belief this is an electronic problem.
