Air bag can deploy without vehicle crash

A case of SUA (sudden unintended acceleration). Approaching a car stopped at a red light. I stepped on the brake pedal to stop the car but instead, the car accelerates and rear ends the car at the red light. A couple hours later, driving the same car, another car makes a u-turn in front of me. I stepped on my brake pedal but instead, my car accelerates and almost crashes into u-turn vehicle. The other driver saw what was about to happen and quickly reversed out of the way, thus avoiding a collision.

MY BUMPER FELL OVER AND THE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING PLEASE CONTACT ME [XXX] I'M [XXX]. *TR

ON 6/29/09, I WAS PARKED IN A STRIPMALL . WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, I SHIFTED TO D4,AND,BEFORE I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR ACCELERATED TO 3000 TO 4000 RPM AND MOVED FORWARD. I BRAKED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED UNTIL I PUT IT BACK INTO D4. THAT STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. THIS HAD HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, BUT I WAS STOPPING THE CAR WHEN IT ACCELERATED TO 3000 RPM AND LURCHED FORWARD. AGAIN I PUT IN NEUTRAL, THEN D4 WHICH STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. I TOOK THE CAR BOTH TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE EVEN AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING. I CALLED CORPORATE ACURA THIS TIME, BUT, THEY MAINTAIN THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR LEGEND MODEL. IT HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOT TO THE DEGREE AS ABOVE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DUPLICATE THE EVENT AS IT IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. THE DEALERSHIP FEELS THAT, DUE TO THE CLOSE CONFIGURATION OF THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS, MAYBE I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED BOTH WITHOUT REALIZING IT. I AM WRITING TO YOU TO SEE IF AN INCIDENT OF THIS TYPE HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED TO YOU AND IF ANY REMEDIES ARE POSSIBLE. *TR UPDATED 11/16/09
