Acura Legend sudden acceleration problems

Filed Jul 16, 2022 · Brakes · NY

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.
