VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING EVENT OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I WAS PULLING INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT YESTERDAY MORNING AND HAD ALMOST COME TO A FULL STOP WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR TOOK OFF (A WITNESS SAID THE HORN BEEPED AS IT HAPPENED; I DON'T REMEMBER, I WAS SO BUSY TRYING TO CONTROL THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS LOUD, LIKE A TEEN-AGER IN A DRAG RACE). I KEPT BRAKING AND TURNED THE WHEEL SHARPLY TO AVOID HITTING THE FENCE IN FRONT OF ME BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS DEMON-POSSESSED. I HIT A GLANCING BLOW TO A TRANSFORMER AND A TREE AND HIT TWO BACKYARD FENCES. A METAL POLE OF THE FENCE GOT CAUGHT IN THE RIGHT TIRE AND I STOPPED BEFORE GOING INTO A SWIMMING POOL. THE ENGINE QUIETED DOWN SOMEWHAT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I'M NOT SURE YET WHETHER IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING INSTALLED IN THE CAR ORIGINALLY AS IT HAS NOT YET BEEN INVESTIGATED BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY RECENT REPAIR TO THE ACCELERATOR OR HAD ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR BEFORE THIS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WENT TO DRUG A STORE AND WAS IN A HURRY WHEN I PARKED THE VEHICLE. I LEFT THE CAR IN "DRIVE" AS I WAS IN A HURRY AND DIDN'T NOTICE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVE THE KEY, WHICH DIDN'T REGISTER TO ME AS A PROBLEM AT THE TIME. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE, I FOUND THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED BACKWARDS AND STRUCK ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE, CAUSING APPROXIMATELY $2200 IN DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. MINIMAL TO NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT HOME I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
1. THE FRONT AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY '04 ACURA MDX ARE BROKEN AS WELL AS THE REAR A/C BLOWER. PROBLEM WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED BY A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO WAS REPLACING THE BRAKES FOR US. ASIDE FROM THE BRAKES, THE AUTO HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED INCL. OIL CHANGES. ACURA CONFIRMED THE DIAGNOSIS AND REFUSED TO OFFER ANY "GOOD WILL" DISCOUNT FOR THE REPAIRS. 2. FRONT MOUNT BROKE FIRST, FOLLOWED BY THE SIDE (WITHIN 2-3 WKS.) DUE TO THE ADDITIONAL STRAIN PLACED ON IT BY THE FRONT MOUNT NOT FUNCTIONING. 3. NOTHING AS OF YET. STILL ATTEMPTING TO APPEAL THE DECISION REGARDING "GOOD WILL" ASSISTANCE. I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO RESOLVE, BUT NOT VERY OPTIMISTIC. BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE REAR A/C BLOWER. *TR

TIRES:SIDEWALL
TIRE SPLIT IN SEVERAL SPOTS NEAR THE RIM OF THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY LOW INFLATED TIRE, BUT MY VEHICLE HAS AN AUTOMATIC TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUE WITH TIRE PRESSURE UNTIL THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON TO INDICATE A PRESSURE CHANGE. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT ON THE INTERSTATE AND TRIED TO ADD AIR ONLY TO FIND THAT THE TIRE CONTINUED TO LEAK AIR. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO A TIRE DEALER WHO TOLD HER IT WAS ABOUT TO COMPLETE BLOW OUT IF SHE HAD CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THAT DEALER FELT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. *TR
