general problems of the 2008 Acura TL

While driving car, speed decelerated despite pressing on gas/accelerator pedal. Total ability to control speed on high way ended, as car crawled to a speed of under 5mph, nearly resulting in being hit by vehicles behind me. Immediately called independent mechanic who advised me to cut off ignition and restart the car. Highly dangerous to even attempt on a highway during rush hour traffic, nearly resulting in a multiple car crash. Reproduced several times until mechanic was able to diagnose and correct an issue unknown to me. There was no warning light indicator at all, no messages on car navigation/information panel.

Vehicle self accelerated in parking lot. Went over parking curb, lending on the tree 14ft from the curb and was stop by the tree. The vehicle made intense accelerated noise, before jumping the curb.

Acura Tl 2008: one incident, occurred April 8th, 2008. Car took off from a parking space, just as I was inching it forward with my foot on the brake. The brake would not stop the car. It jumped two curbs, I avoided hitting two parked cars. The car stopped with a pump of the foot brake, about 90 feet from where it took off. The speed was enough to go over two curbs, blowing out the front passenger tire, damaging the rim, and damaging the rear passenger tire. The impact caused a slight indentation to the roof of the Acura, next to the sun roof.
