WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT HAPPENS WHILE GOING FORWARD AND IN REVERSE. SLOW SPEEDS OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CANNOT STOP. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO PARAGON ACURA IN QUEENS NY AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THEY PROVIDED A STATEMENT TO ME IN AUGUST SAYING THAT THE POWER BRAKING SYSTEM IS AFFECTED BY THE AIR CONDITIONING BEING ON AS THAT DISRUPTS THE ENGINE VACCUM. SO I ASKED SO THEN THERE'S A RECALL CORRECT AND WAS GIVEN A SHOULDER SHRUG. TO THIS DAY, THE PEDAL GOES OUT AND IS PLACING ME AND OTHERS IN DANGER

My passenger and I were stopped in a gas line, and had just moved my car from park to drive. I tapped on my gas pedal to inch the car forward as the car in front of me was now about 3 car lengths ahead of me. As I lifted my foot off the pedal and the car began to roll, it picked up speed and started to accelerate, despite my foot being off the gas pedal. Upon attempting to brake multiple times, the brakes would not engage.  The car was launched forward approximately one (1) car length. The car started to tick and the auto brakes kicked in. Only then did my brakes reengage. During this time, none of the warning lights came on aside from my empty fuel light; however it came on since I only had 30 miles of range left. Had the car not detected another car in front of me, I fear worse could have happened. I took my car to the Acura Service Center. Upon inspection of the car, Acura’s service center did not find any issues with the computer system or the car. They also could not replicate the issue, and they sent me home with the car. This is not the first time that this has happened.  Approximately a year prior this incident, I was rolling to a stop when the brakes would not engage. After a few attempts, the brakes did reengage. Auto brakes did not kick in.  During this incident, I did not take the car to the shop, assuming that this was human error. However, after the car launched about 10 feet forward on its own, I fear that this will happen again.  Since the car does not detect people, I worry that this will occur again and could potentially cause a more fatal outcome.  Not only do I fear for my safety, but I fear for the safety of pedestrians and other drivers around me, as the unpredictability in this problem leaves me feeling uncomfortable to drive the car.

This his happened 3 times now. I have been driving on the highway with no cars in front of me in my lane within a quarter mile, and the braking since starts flashing a warning and starts to hard break, it is not only startling but very dangerous. This happened the 3rd time in a year. I usually try to disable it to prevent these issues but it auto turns itself back on every time i start the car so i sometimes forget to turn it off. It is not only startling but has caused sligh injury to myself because of the sudden breaking

I WAS DRIVING ROUGHLY AROUND 25 MPH, WHEN I'D STARTED GOING INTO A GRADUAL TURN TO THE RIGHT. I'D HIT A SMALL POT HOLE, THEN MY CAR ENDED UP ON THE GROUND. SKIDDING ACROSS THE ROAD, AND THEN ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE WAY IT WAS DRIVING I'D THOUGHT MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD CAME OFF OF THE VEHICLE. BUT UPON FIRST GLANCE IT WAS JUST A FLAT TIRE. ONCE I HAD GOTTEN THE FLAT TIRE OFF, I'D REALIZED THERE WAS A MUCH BIGGER ISSUE. THE RIGHT FRONT FACTORY RIM, HAD BROKEN. HORIZONTALLY DOWN THE CENTER OF THE RIM. BUT THE FRONT SECTION OF THE RIM WAS STILL LOCKED IN THE TIRE'S BEAD. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAS ZERO HOLES/TEARS/ ANY DAMAGE THAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR. THIS WAS A CITY STREET, POSTED 30 MPH. THE ROAD IS IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION AND LIKE I'D STATED BEFORE, THIS WAS A MINOR POTHOLE THAT I'D HIT.
