MY HUSBAND DROVE ONTO A SLOPED DRIVEWAY (UPHILL) AND LEFT THE CAR RUNNING, GOT OUT AND RANG THE DOORBELL TO OUR DAUGHTER'S HOUSE TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS HOME. THEY ANSWERED THE DOOR AND HE CAME BACK TO THE CAR AND MOTIONED FOR ME TO GET OUT OF CAR AND COME INTO HOUSE. HE REMEMBERED HE HAD LEFT THE CAR RUNNING, SO AS I GOT OUT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, HE REACHED IN AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I TURNED TOWARD THE BACK OF CAR TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS STILL OPEN ALL THE WAY. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, I TRIED TO RUN BUT THE DOOR HIT ME KNOCKED ME FACE DOWN ON THE ASPHALT OF THE STREET, AND THE BOTTOM OF THE OPEN FRONT DOOR SCRAPED OVER ME, ABRADING MY HEEL, BACK, AND LACERATING MY HEAD. WHEN MY FACE HIT THE ASPHALT, MY TWO UPPER FRONT TEETH GROUND INTO THE ASPHALT, BOTH HANDS TRYING TO BREAK MY FALL, AND BOTH KNEES CRASHING ON THE STREET SURFACE.

ON THREE OCCASIONS THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL DEPLOYED AT THE SAME TIME ON MY 2009 ACURA RL. THE THIRD TIME THIS RESULTED IN AN IMPACT ON A PARKED VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE TWO INCHES APART AND WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT STOPS ON A LEVEL EQUAL TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THEREFORE IT CAUSES A CIRCUMSTANCE THAT DEPLOYS BOTH PEDALS SIMULTANEOUSLY.(I ACTUALLY FIND MYSELF AND MY WIFE HITTING THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE THE PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER). I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO ACURA IN TORRANCE CA. AND TO THE DEALERSHIP IN SANFORD FL. AND THEY SAID IT THE WAY THE RL IS DESIGNED AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE ARE CONCERNED THE VEHICLE PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY THREAT ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WILL TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER BRAND. BY THE WAY, THIS DECISION IS NOT MADE LIGHTLY AS I HAVE PURCHASED 11 HONDA ACCORDS AND 2 ACURAS SINCE 1980. THIS IS TRULY A VERY SAD ENDING FOR A LOYAL CUSTOMER BUT OUR SAFETY MUST BE A PRIORITY.
