Unintended acceleration, hesitation, and transmission issues. When accelerating from first gear to second gear, hesitates and then suddenly lurching forward.
The contact owns a 2018 Acura RDX. The contact stated that the vehicle intermittently hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. The failure also recurred while switching lanes or passing other vehicles. The contact also stated that the vehicle would lunge forward soon after hesitation without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.

I was pulling in to a parking space at work, mildly stepped on gas as I pulled in and placed foot on brake to stop car when I park but the car accelerated on its own, tires screeched and car went over curb and almost ran into tree. See picture attached. I slammed on the brakes and the car stopped. The sound from the inside seemed I damaged my bumper for sure but when I inspected, no damage to the car (at lease visibly). But sure is scary to drive the car now. I leased the car about a month ago and I contacted the dealer via phone and on email awaiting response.
