SERVICE BRAKES
A case of SUA (sudden unintended acceleration). Approaching a car stopped at a red light. I stepped on the brake pedal to stop the car but instead, the car accelerates and rear ends the car at the red light. A couple hours later, driving the same car, another car makes a u-turn in front of me. I stepped on my brake pedal but instead, my car accelerates and almost crashes into u-turn vehicle. The other driver saw what was about to happen and quickly reversed out of the way, thus avoiding a collision.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT
ON 6/29/09, I WAS PARKED IN A STRIPMALL . WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, I SHIFTED TO D4,AND,BEFORE I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR ACCELERATED TO 3000 TO 4000 RPM AND MOVED FORWARD. I BRAKED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED UNTIL I PUT IT BACK INTO D4. THAT STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. THIS HAD HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, BUT I WAS STOPPING THE CAR WHEN IT ACCELERATED TO 3000 RPM AND LURCHED FORWARD. AGAIN I PUT IN NEUTRAL, THEN D4 WHICH STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. I TOOK THE CAR BOTH TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE EVEN AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING. I CALLED CORPORATE ACURA THIS TIME, BUT, THEY MAINTAIN THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR LEGEND MODEL. IT HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOT TO THE DEGREE AS ABOVE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DUPLICATE THE EVENT AS IT IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. THE DEALERSHIP FEELS THAT, DUE TO THE CLOSE CONFIGURATION OF THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS, MAYBE I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED BOTH WITHOUT REALIZING IT. I AM WRITING TO YOU TO SEE IF AN INCIDENT OF THIS TYPE HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED TO YOU AND IF ANY REMEDIES ARE POSSIBLE. *TR UPDATED 11/16/09

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
FOR MORE THAN 8 MONTHS MY ACURA LEGEND (1994) FOUR DOOR SEDAN HAS BEEN INAUDIBLE OR NOT WORKING. THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS I'VE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE COIL REEL IS OUT AND THAT IT IS NOW IN A CONDITION THAT WILL PREVENT THE HORN FROM SOUNDING WHEN NEEDED OR AT ALL. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE DRIVERS AIRBAG AND POSSIBLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT EMPLOY SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THE COST OF A COIL REEL COSTS $687 FROM THE HONDA DEALER IN PENSACOLA, FLORIDA. MY ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS ON MY OWN WERE HINDERED BY COST AND LABOR TO REPAIR THIS ITEM. FOR NOW IT IS PARKED AND NOT BEING USED BY THIS OWNER BECAUSE THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT PROMPTED THIS PURCHASE ARE NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. *NM

HOWEVER, THE FAILE RECURRED, AND A THIRD CLUTCH REPAIR WAS NECESSARY, HONDA SHOULD REPAIR THE CLUTCH UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *AK
