FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN VIOLENT FULL ACCELERATION WITH A 1988 ACURA LEGEND, WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO A BUILDING, AND A VERY BADLY BROKEN LEG FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 1986-1988 ACURA LEGEND, AND AM SURE THERE MUST BE THOUSANDS MORE STILL ON THE ROAD. ARE THERE ANY GROUP LAWSUITS CURRENTLY BEING PUT FORTH, OR CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR RECEIVING JUSTICE IN THIS MATTER?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PRESSURE FAILURE. ALL PRESSURE IN BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW VEHICLE TO STOP. I CHECKED MSN WEBSITE FOR USED CAR RESEARCH INFO AND IT STATED THAT FAILURE TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH ON 1991 ACURA LEGEND IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE IS TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE THEN ATTEMPTS TO STOP AND HAS NO PRESSURE IN THERE BRAKING SYSTEM SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR. I ALSO NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR ON THE MSN WEBSITE. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THAT PROBLEM WHICH I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR ON 08/04/2003. *PH
