Equipment Problems of Acura RSX

On sat Dec 10 2018 I was bulling in to a parking space at walmart after 7am. I was going slowly and started a left turn into a parking space. As I turned I was lightly on the brake, suddenly the engine revved to a high speed and the car surged forward. I pushed hard on the brakes but it still kept going at a lower rate but I could not stop, it was making straining creaking sounds. I had turned left to avoid the SUV facing me in the other space facing me when it surged forward. There was a cart corral there that I hit and pushed it and it swung around and moved into the driving lane still moving. I pushed the gear shift into neutral and the revves dropped immediately and the car stopped then. There was no reason for the engine to speed up, I was braking lightly as I approached the parking space and I continued trying to brake until it finally stopped. I was at no time on the gas peddle, there was not carpet or other object to interfere with the gas peddle. When I moved the shift lever to neutral the engine dropped to a idle immediately. There was scratches on the hood, bumper and headlight cover and small dent in driver door. No injuries and I was able to push the corral back in place by hand. I researched unexplained acceleration for Acura and Honda and found accounts of Honda incidents very similar to mine with much worse . Outcomes. I filed an insurance claim and now I am going to contact Acura. I took pictures with my phone but haven't gotten them to the computer.

Ever since I purchased the car it has had a smell of gas. I thought it would go away after a certain time but it didn't so I got the car checked out. I come to find out it has a gas leak. This is something very dangerous because it puts my life at risk and if anything happens the car could blow up. I purchased this car in June 2016 and im just a young 20 year man that is trying to make it through college.

Drivers side seat appears to be loose at a rivited joint.

The trunk release rubber has melted into a sticky tar that sticks to anything that touches it and is not pleasant to deal with. Seems like the heat has some effect. Now must use trunk release (inside or remote) to open trunk.
