2004 Acura MDX Driver assistance Problems

I was in a parking mode and was leaving the parking lot. I reversed my car lo leave, and the car went out of control and was not until it crashed on two other parked cars that came to a stop. Then, After reversing my car, when trying to put it into drive, it would not move. When I tried to turn it off, the engine (re) started again and it worked so I could clear the path for other cars and wait until the police came. I had major maintenance at Acura Hopkins 2 and 3 years ago, I had a new steering pump and hoses changed 5 months ago and new front and rear brakes 3 months ago. Many people who are familiar with cars tell me that it was probably the rings. I don't know it may be the transmission? There was a police report as there were two other cars involved and both with severe damages. State Farm considered my car totaled despite the large amount of money spent to bring this car to almost new condition.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD APPLY BRAKES SECONDS BEFORE THE VSA LIGHT AND TRIANGLE LIGHT SHOWS UP. BOTH LIGHTS WILL STAY ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND GETTING LOUDER AND THE BRAKING MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED. IF ROADS ARE SLIPPERY THE VEHICLE WOULD SKID. DEALER FIRST BLAMED IT ON SOME SENSOR FLUID. AFTER SPENDING OVER $400 THEY NOW THINK ITS THE YAW SENSOR. I STRONGLY DO NOT THINK THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO.

SINCE ABOUT FEBRUARY 2010 THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY ACTIVATE DURING PERIODS OF PROLONGED HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS CONDITION USUALLY HAPPENS ON DRY PAVEMENT AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT FEELS LIKE ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT BRAKE IS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE SWERVES TO THE RIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONDITION HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS VERY FRIGHTENING. I HAVE HAD THE ACURA DEALER TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES WITH NO RESULTS. THE MOST RECENT TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS EARLY DECEMBER 2013. I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT AN ACURA DEALER AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY LATERAL ACCELERATION SENSOR. UNFORTUNATELY THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND IS ON INDEFINITE BACKORDER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS NEARLY CAUSED HARM TO MYSELF AND OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO MY OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE. I AM NOW WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION UNTIL ACURA IS ABLE TO GET THE PART BACK IN STOCK. ACURA OF AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO EVEN LOG AND FILE MY COMPLAINT LET ALONE ASSIST ME WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND HARDSHIP. *TR

I EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING EVENT OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I WAS PULLING INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT YESTERDAY MORNING AND HAD ALMOST COME TO A FULL STOP WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR TOOK OFF (A WITNESS SAID THE HORN BEEPED AS IT HAPPENED; I DON'T REMEMBER, I WAS SO BUSY TRYING TO CONTROL THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS LOUD, LIKE A TEEN-AGER IN A DRAG RACE). I KEPT BRAKING AND TURNED THE WHEEL SHARPLY TO AVOID HITTING THE FENCE IN FRONT OF ME BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS DEMON-POSSESSED. I HIT A GLANCING BLOW TO A TRANSFORMER AND A TREE AND HIT TWO BACKYARD FENCES. A METAL POLE OF THE FENCE GOT CAUGHT IN THE RIGHT TIRE AND I STOPPED BEFORE GOING INTO A SWIMMING POOL. THE ENGINE QUIETED DOWN SOMEWHAT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I'M NOT SURE YET WHETHER IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING INSTALLED IN THE CAR ORIGINALLY AS IT HAS NOT YET BEEN INVESTIGATED BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY RECENT REPAIR TO THE ACCELERATOR OR HAD ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR BEFORE THIS. *TR
