2002 Acura TL S review from North America
"My car is trying to kill me!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car has been to two dealers a total of four times because of a really serious problem. I can be pulling out of a parking place or driving down the street, and the engine starts to rev, causing the car to accelerate, even when my foot is on the brake. The only thing that stops it is to put the car into neutral and step on the emergency brake, then turn the motor off. Has anybody else had this problem? I am afraid to drive this car.
General comments?
I loved the car before this problem started happening. Now I just want to get rid of it.
