2016 Acura Ilx

SAME AS THE OTHER INCIDENTS SUBMITTED BELOW - MY CAR ACCELERATES WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKES AND REAPPLY BEFORE THE CAR REACTS AND STOPS. THIS FAULT OCCURS WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN AND ALMOST AT A STOP, SO THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE BEEN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF OTHER CARS IN FRONT OF ME, PEOPLE IN CROSSWALKS, APPROACHING MY NEIGHBORHOOD GATE, SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, SLOWING DOWN WHEN APPROACHING STOP SIGNS - I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RUN THE STOP SIGN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8-9 TIMES. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY MISTAKE. AFTER THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME, I WAS SURE IT WAS NOT. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP THAT PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR THERE 3 TIMES AND ALL 3 TIMES, AFTER RUNNING INSPECTIONS, I'M TOLD THEY ARE 'UNABLE TO VERIFY CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS' BECAUSE THEY 'CANNOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN'. THEY GAVE ME MY CAR BACK TO DRIVE. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN MY ACURA.

THE CAR DISPLAYED MULTIPLE ERRORS ON ITS MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY. THE ERRORS INCLUDE BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, ABS PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM. THOSE ERROR MESSAGES WENT AWAY ON MY WAY TO ELK GROVE ACURA BUT I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THEM ON MY PHONE. THERE WAS STILL AN ERROR MESSAGE IN THE ACURALINK SYSTEM FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING THAT I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR. HE DELETED THE MESSAGE WITHOUT TELLING ME AND SAID THOSE ERRORS ARE CAUSED BY A LOW BATTERY. HE WENT TO TEST THE BATTERY AND IT TESTED FINE SO I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO FIX. HE SENT ME HOME AFTER REFUSE MY REQUEST TO DOCUMENT THE ERRORS WITH ACURA. HE MADE IT LIKE I NEVER BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THOSE PROBLEMS NEVER EXISTED.

1ST INCIDENT - ON OCT 17TH 2017, ON MY WAY BACK FROM GYM AND THIS IS A STREET DRIVE. I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHICH IS ON A SORT OF A HILL. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAT AND I COULD NOT STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. I DID PRESS IT AGAIN HARDER AND THE CAR STOPPED BUT I HAD ALREADY CROSSED THE STOP SIGN BY THEN. I WAS CONFUSED AND SCARED BUT ASSUMED THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND CONTINUED HOME DRIVING CAREFULLY. 2ND INCIDENT - ON THE SAME DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AND AGAIN I PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES THE SECOND TIME AND THAT HELPED. BY THIS TIME I WAS SURE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. 3RD INCIDENT - SAME DAY ON MY WAY BACK FROM WORK, THIS TIME I WAS BEING VERY CAREFUL AND RIVING VERY SLOW IN THE RIGHT MOST LANE, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AFTER THAT AND THE CAR IS WITH THE CERRITOS ACURA SERVICE CENTER. NOT SURE IF I CAN DRIVE THAT CAR ANYMORE
