The contact owns a 1999 Acura Tl. The contact stated that the vehicle abnormally accelerated as she attempted to park in a residential garage. The contact applied immense pressure to the brakes but was unable to control the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into a lawn mower, a compressor and then a wall. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact sustained injuries to the hip area. The manufacturer was notified and a complaint was filed but no assistance was provided. The failure and current mileage was 67,000.

Driving normally on city street when suddenly engine died & all electrical on console turned off. Car was diagnosed with faulty ignition switch. There had been a recall for this part. I've confirmed that my car was serviced by dealer under that recall & the ignition switch had been replaced some time ago; the replaced part failed. Incident placed my family in seriously dangerous situation--in middle of road/traffic without power or instruments & barely able to steer.

1999 Acura Tl accelerated on its own while executing a turn into a parking spot. My foot was not on the accelerator and it took hard braking to bring the car to a hard stop. The car sustained bumper scratches but was otherwise undamaged. The car parked in front of me, a large SUV had no dents or other damage. No police report was filed. I am taking the car into the dealer for checking tomorrow. This happened once before, also while turning into a parking spot. I did not report it at that time, thinking I must have been distracted somehow. This time I was absolutely sure the engine acted on its own presumably under the control of the computer.
