Cruise Control Problems of Acura TL

!!!warning this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed!!! "cruise control control box defect!" 2003 Tl type s automatic 4 door without cruise control on car engine began to rev out of control while driving, tried to apply brakes but engine is too strong, once vehicle hit 80 mph from this on highway I calmly turned ignition off one click so steering wheel would not lock and coasted to safety. I had to detach module as well as speed control wire going to the idle control of engine. If I was inexperienced I could have been killed either by getting into an accident or by my airback being deployed and killed from the takata inflator. "clear coat" 2003 Tl type s black clear coat paint flaking off and massively discolored due to the dry winter cold and the uv heat during summer. "instrument panel lighting problem" 2003 Tl type s problem with part of instrument panel where odometer is as well as outside temp not illuminating.

Driving on i95 in boynton beach, FL, area. Heard cracking noises. Saw vertical split in dashboard, over the air bag. At the same time, cruise control feature stopped working. Split goes from windshield to about 4" above the bottom of dash. It has advanced about 1/2-1" since incident. Don't know if passenger airbag will properly deploy anymore.

Upon keyless ignition, engine continues to race even though gas pedal is not depressed. When applying brakes, engine continues to accelerate, and gas pedal seems to stick even after foot is removed from gas pedal and placed on brake pedal. This happens intermittently without any warning, and speed doesn't seem to come into play. I am afraid to drive this car with this condition. It has happened when I have other people in the car, and now they refuse to drive with me for fear that I am not going to be able to stop. It happened 4 times last Thursday evening 9/1/11 on the NJ turnpike going north after the toll at 16w going west to route 3, past the meadowlands. Traffic was heavy because of an nfl game, and was moving very slowly (no more than 20 miles an hour). When gas pedal was released to reduce speed, the engine was still accelerating, even after the brake was depressed. I drove defensively making sure that I stood well behind the car in front of me to allow enough of distance between it and me to stop. I have owned other Acura vehicles and have never experienced this problem. It is hazardous to drive this car - both to the driver and other cars on the road. I had it towed to the dealership where it will soon be checked by the manufacturer. I had recorded this situation when I brought the car in for service on 6/20/11, and the manufacturer could not find anything wrong. In retrospect, it seems that sometime when I was going from one speed to another, the transition to the higher speed was not smooth. Note, I never use cruise control, nor the manual shifting. Updated 11/17/11.

The accelerator pedal stuck. This started in November 2004. It was an intermittent problem. The consumer took vehicle to the dealer, they could not find the cause of the problem. While driving in July 2005 the accelerator pedal stuck and would not release. There was no accident. The consumer took vehicle to the dealership, and they contacted an engineer to examine the vehicle. The engineer found that a screw came out of the part that pertained to the cruise control and the accelerator connection.

While slowly pulling into a parking space at my local fitness club vehicle suddenly made a roaring noise, accelerated, plunged forward, and struck two parked vehicles. This happened in a matter of seconds. After the car stopped, I put it in park and turned off the engine. I notified the owners of the other vehicles, and promptly called the police. When the police officer arrived, he completed exchange of information forms for all involved parties. He also told me to be sure to have the car checked out mechanically. The car was towed to a body shop for repairs. Then, it was taken to the car dealer service department to have it checked for internal mechanical malfunctions. The service manager said they could not find anything wrong with the car. He said there were no error messages or indications of malfunction. However, later I noticed that the cruise control buttons may have been replaced with a new set. I am positive that the car malfunctioned due to an acceleration problem.
