36 Service Brakes problem of the 2017 Acura ILX

Failure Date: 09/24/2018

When coming to a stop at a red light, the car continued to roll forward. At this time, I stepped on the brake with added pressure but the car continued to roll. Then I shifted the car into park but that did not stop the vehicle and it rolled into a truck in front at less than 5 mph. The dealership states they cannot duplicate the incident and found no errors while conducting their inspections.

Failure Date: 12/26/2017

The car displayed multiple errors on its multi-information display. The errors include brake system problem, abs problem, road departure mitigation system problem, and adaptive cruise control problem. Those error messages went away on my way to elk grove Acura but I was able to record them on my phone. There was still an error message in the Acuralink system for the electric power steering that I showed the service advisor. He deleted the message without telling me and said those errors are caused by a low battery. He went to test the battery and it tested fine so I was told that there was nothing to fix. He sent me home after refuse my request to document the errors with Acura. He made it like I never brought the car in and those problems never existed.

38 Service Brakes problem of the 2016 Acura ILX

Failure Date: 10/17/2017

1st incident - on oct 17th 2017, on my way back from gym and this is a street drive. I was approaching a stop sign which is on a sort of a hill. I pressed the brakes and the car accelerated insteat and I could not stop at the stop sign. I did press it again harder and the car stopped but I had already crossed the stop sign by then. I was confused and scared but assumed that it was my fault and continued home driving carefully. 2nd incident - on the same day on my way to work, the exact same thing happened and again I pressed very hard on the brakes the second time and that helped. By this time I was sure something is wrong with the car. 3rd incident - same day on my way back from work, this time I was being very careful and riving very slow in the right most lane, the exact same thing happened. I did not drive the car after that and the car is with the cerritos Acura service center. Not sure if I can drive that car anymore.

When applying the rear brakes they constantly squeal very loudly. The dealership keeps looking into this and says Acura doesn't have a solution for the problem because they have not received enough complaints about it yet. So I am supposed to drive a vehicle with squealy brakes?.
