Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2017 Acura MDX

2017 Acura Mdx. Consumer writes in regards to unintended acceleration. The consumer stated the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not offer any assistance.

On several occasions as I reduce speed, the car suddenly accelerates when I release the break to start accelerating again. The acceleration happen when you are going at slow speed. The first time I took it to the dealership it had happened in 4 occasions and I had atributed the incident to lack of experience in driving a new car. Because it happened in front of my daughters school � and in theory I could have actually killed a child � I promptly deliver it to the dealership. During the test drive with the technician, the car changed gears from the comfort mode to sport mode on its own. Because it was a safety issue, they informed me that an engineer from Acura would come and inspect the unit. After a week with my car, they just did an update into the transmission software - and informed me they were unable to recreate the issue. Thirty three days later� while dropping my dad at his dialysis � at a turn - the car went form 3 miles to 25 miles, and it was fortunate that it was 5:45 in the morning � since I could certainly would have cause an accident considering I almost ran a light. I called the dealership and on February 1, dropped again the vehicle at the dealership. 11 days later I called back to follow up and was informed by the service manager that Acura should have contacted me on Friday February 9 to let me know that they would be sending an engineer to check the vehicle again. Our concern is that this is a safety issue documented on two previous complaints in this forum, that constitute a serious risk for my family and community. At 11:00 am on February 12 I have yet to hear from Acura although they are aware of the issue.
