Not long after purchasing vehicle used it started this lurching and hesitations in movement, this can also be observed (the jumps and hesitations) in rpms on the tac. This is occurring consistently primarily when driving between 30-40 MPH; this does not stop unless you accelerate quickly or allow your speed to drop below 20 MPH

I am 27 years old female that was in a car accident with my boyfriend and his mom. My boyfriends mom was the driver, I was the front seat passenger and my boyfriend was in the back seat. Both my boyfriends mom and I were wearing our seatbelts. After hanging out for the day my boyfriends mom was dropping us off at home and that was when it happened. As she was backing up out of the driveway, the accelerator must have gotten stuck because the car flew across the driveway down a hill over a basketball court and directly into a tree! Thinks the vehicle was going 30-40 MPH and both front airbags deployed. After the accident I had been injured and after going to the hospital and having x-rays done, the doctors have said I have a fracture (l2) to my spine. Thank god no surgery was needed although it really sucks to have a compressed vertebra now! The accident happened on june 28, 2017 and since the accident I have been wearing a lumbar brace in order to help support my spine/back.

As the vehicle being driven, it occasionally lurches. As the vehicle produces these sudden stops and accelerations during the normal driving (local streets and highways), I, as a driver, temporarily lose the control of the car. Consequently, this car lurching situation may lead to the driver losing a temporary or complete control of the vehicle which could ultimately cause a collision.

Recently faced a situation where I was traveling on a freeway @ 65-70 MPH and suddenly SUV flashed a fcw( forward collision warning system) . I had to apply the brakes in the middle of the freeway fearing an accident. It may have caused us to to go into a crash with a cars coming from behind . The federal safety agency has to look into this feature. There is some problem with the sensors of fcw

First, I have had the vehicle for a little over a year. I have driven to florida and nc without issue. Today will be the 4th time taking my car to the acura dealership in less than 3 months. Today the car started to kickback when I reach 20mph. Also, at 80mph the car is jerky when I accelerate or decrease and go again. Also when I release the gas, the speed decreases quickly as opposed to gradually. Around 60mph the car tends to have a slight jerk which ive notified acura but they said I need a wheel alignment which ive done. The issue prior was all the lights in the dash came on the the drive function was almost paused while the vehicle was in motion. Acura claimed the issue was minor yet I am going again today. Prior to that issue, something near the tires was scratching or something which they claimed the issue was fixed. What LED me to the dealership the first time was the vehicle was jerky at different times while accelerating. Acura performed a software upgrade which fixed the issue for a couple days. At some point, the vehicle needs to be re-assessed and possibly totaled out or something. I have 3 kids and always on the run. I used to trust acura and the reliability but the issues seem to get worse and worse.

Unintentional acceleration and failure of collision mitigation system 2014 acura mdx advanced. Accident occurred at a strip mall parking lot located 1 mile from my residence where I was grocery shopping. Weather 65 f sunny. Heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic. I was parked head in diagonally. I placed my right foot on the brake pedal,placed the SUV in reverse,lifted my right foot from the brake pedal, depressed the accelerator pedal and slowly backed out of the parking space,straightening the wheels in the process.I placed my right foot on the brake, shifted to drive, and placed my right foot on the accelerator pedal and without actually depressing the pedal the engin reved uncontrollably and the SUV surged forward 100 ft at increasing speed before colliding in a domino fashion with a row of 6 vehicles pushing one of the vehicles over one of the adjacent vehicles before veering off to the side and traveling an additional 200 feet before coming to a stop.the drivers side chest and knee bags deployed when I impacted with the first vehicle.I do not remember if I attempted to brake.there were no injuries.the damages to my SUV were extensive. My insurer declared it a total loss.I have photos taken at the scene of the accident showing skid marks and the damages to the vehicles before they were moved. My insurer had my vehicle examined by an automotive technician.he concluded that I simultaneously stepped on the brake and accelerator because of the pedal ware pattern. Also the diagnostic port did not show an error code.he did not examine the event data recorder (black box). I do not agree with his conclusions. I believe I did not step on the pedals simultaneously. In retrospect I believe that I accidentally engaged one of the cruise control buttons located on the steering wheel when I was backing up and straightening the wheels.
