| Was driving my vehicle which i just purchased on may 26th 2012, and my car began to have shifting problems in 2nd and third gear racing rpms and would not stay engaged in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gear and violently downshifted into second gear at freeway speeds causing me even restrained by the seat beat to fly into the steering wheel and windsheild bumping my head and hurting my back due to whip lash. this occurrence happened several times. then the d5 would start flashing and check engine light became lite. after calling acura customer care, brian informed me of the recall that had to do with this matter and was supposedly fixed. my car is unsafe to drive because of the rapid change of speed at the cars desire. i could injure not just myself but others around me. | |||

| 2000 acura tl. consumer states unintended acceleration causing a crash. *tgw as the consumer backed out from a parking space and proceeded to drive, the vehicle accelerated out of control with fierce force and speed and spun around in circles several times. finally, the vehicle hit a post in the parking lot. the momentum caused the consumer to hit two parked cars. the police were called, however they had no authority to investigate since the accident happened on private property. an inspection of the vehicle was ordered, but nothing was found wrong. *jb | |||
