Partially closed drivers door on seat belt. Opened door removed seat belt. Then after driving home I was unable to open the drivers door with or without the automatic door locks nor from the inside or outside or with a key. Had to climb out of the car over the center console or out the window. This seems like something that should not happen and a safety concern if needing to exit the car swiftly.

On 2 different times my vehicle accelerated on its own resulting in an accident. The first time was on or about May 24, 2011. I was pulling into a parking space of an apartment complex. It was around 5:30 pm. I was driving slowly (between 2-3 mph) as there was a construction crew working directly behind the parking space in which I was going to park. I was making a right hand turn into the parking space. As I proceeded into the parking space my left foot was on the floor and my right foot was on the brake, alternating between braking and idling. I was not using the accelerator, just the brake and the idling engine. As I approached the curb to my final stop, the car suddenly lunged forward over the curb and hit a tree. I reported these details to the Acura dealership when I took the car in for repairs. I told the representative that something was wrong with the car and they needed to check the acceleration. About a month later my car was returned to me and the representative at the dealership said they did not find anything wrong with accelerator. About 10 months later (March 2013) a similar acceleration happened. This time I was pulling into a parking space in a parking lot. I entered the parking space by making a right turn. My left foot was on the floor; my right foot was on the break. There was only 1 other car in the parking lot. It was about 10:30 am. I was alternating between braking and idling. Just before the final stop the car lunged forward hitting a brick wall. The dealership recognized me from my previous visit. I told the representative what happened. I told him that something was wrong with the car it is not suppose to accelerate like it did. Once again the car was repaired and I was told there was nothing wrong with the car. I said this car is a safety hazard; I am not going to drive the car. I left the car there.
