| While stopped, with foot on the brake pedal, i was waiting for my garage door to open. the garage door started to open and it was about half way up when my car suddenly accelerated. thinking i would hit the garage door and have my head torn off i ducked towards the passenger seat as best i could. the car did hit the garage door a glancing blow off the windshield and the roof. the car continued to accelerate until it hit the rear wall of the garage. the air bags deployed and the car halted. severe damage to the car, most likely to be totaled. severe damage to my home. the car is a 1999 acura 3.2tl. i suffered injury to my left wrist and left knee. *nm | |||

| 1999 acura tl accelerated on its own while executing a turn into a parking spot. my foot was not on the accelerator and it took hard braking to bring the car to a hard stop. the car sustained bumper scratches but was otherwise undamaged. the car parked in front of me, a large suv had no dents or other damage. no police report was filed. i am taking the car into the dealer for checking tomorrow. this happened once before, also while turning into a parking spot. i did not report it at that time, thinking i must have been distracted somehow. this time i was absolutely sure the engine acted on its own presumably under the control of the computer.*ak | |||
