| While driving at approximately 65mph, i attempted to pass another vehicle to my right transmission first appeared to downshift from 5th to 4th and the car accellerated normally, but suddenly the engine rpm increased dramtically, the car suddenly started deaccelerating and fishtailed widely. it side swiped the center divier of the freeway, damaging the left side. it appears that the transmission suddenly downshifted to a much lower than normal gear (likely 2nd) and the engine rpm that went over redline, causing the engine govenor to shut down the engine and the lower gear to provide excessive engine breaking, causing the loss of control.*ak | |||

| 2001 acura. while driving last evening in 35 mph zone. pushed and released the set speed button on steering wheel to maintain safe, legal speed. car immediately started to accelerate. i let it go to see if it would cease; it did not, so finally at 60 mph, i tapped the brake to disengage and slow down to correct speed. tried to reproduce, once, did not recur. but scary event nonetheless.*ak | |||
