What owners wrote
On 9/15/09, while pulling into a parking lot in a parking garage at work, my 2005 acura tl accelerated (on its own) and crashed into the concrete barrier causing the air bag to deploy. I did not have my foot on the gas pedal and the car mat was not stuck under the gas pedal. I was coasting into the parking space when the car "took off" and accelerated into the barrier in front of the garage wall.

The driver was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer. The failure was contributed to the transmission which required replacement. The vehicle is the process of the being repaired at a transmission auto shop with a rebuilt transmission.
