NHTSA complaint: 2014 ACURA MDX — POWER TRAIN
I GOT INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND PUSHED THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR JUMPED ONTO THE SIDEWALK. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THEN THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING UP. THE CAR CRASHED THROUGH THE WINDOW OF AN EMPTY STORE. I TRIED TO PUSH THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER BUT IT DID NOT WORK. THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT THE WALL INSIDE THE STORE. I WAS IN A SHOCK. LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS INJURED. I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET BUT COULD NOT FIND A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. ONE OF THE PREVIOUS CLAIMS STATES: "ACURA IS CLAIMING THAT NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND WITH OUR VEHICLE." THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD RESULT IN FATALITIES. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO IN ORDER THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED SERIOUSLY?
