SERVICE BRAKES
TURNED CORNER IN LARGE CENTER CITY AND HIT A CONSTRUCTION LARGE POT HOLE AND/OR OBSTRUCTION ON THE LEFT REAR. AFTER COMPLETING TURN ONTO A NARROW ONE-WAY STREET ACCELERATION INCREASED, BRAKES DID NOT WORK, ENGINE COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF, GEARS COULD NOT MOVE. AFTER GOING THROUGH TWO MAJOR INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT ACCIDENT I KEPT PULLING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CAR SLOWLY STOPPED AND WAS THEN PERFECTLY NORMAL. COULD USE THE BRAKES, SHIFT, ETC. I PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A GARAGE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY (7/21/12), WHERE IT IS STILL UNRESOLVED. DEALER SAID CAR IS OK, BUT IS NOW BEING ANALYZED BY ACURA CORPORATE ENGINEERS. I HAD THREE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME, INCLUDING MY WIFE, WHO WILL NOT EVER GO INTO THIS CAR. THE CAR WAS ONLY 10 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING. *TR
