What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 acura mdx. The contact stated that while parked, another vehicle slightly bumped the contact's vehicle and caused it to roll away in reverse and down a hill. The contact's vehicle then crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000.
This is the second incident of unintended engine revving with this vehicle. This second incident occurred at approximately 4500 miles. Was pulling out of a parking space in "reverse" and came to a complete stop with my foot firmly on the brake pedal when, in an instant, the vehicle unexpectedly revved up while I was still holding the brake pedal firmly and the vehicle was still in "reverse". Alarmed, I immediately put the car into "park".
