1999 ACURA TL ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE EXECUTING A TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT TOOK HARD BRAKING TO BRING THE CAR TO A HARD STOP. THE CAR SUSTAINED BUMPER SCRATCHES BUT WAS OTHERWISE UNDAMAGED. THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME, A LARGE SUV HAD NO DENTS OR OTHER DAMAGE. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. I AM TAKING THE CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR CHECKING TOMORROW. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, ALSO WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I DID NOT REPORT IT AT THAT TIME, THINKING I MUST HAVE BEEN DISTRACTED SOMEHOW. THIS TIME I WAS ABSOLUTELY SURE THE ENGINE ACTED ON ITS OWN PRESUMABLY UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE COMPUTER.*AK
