I was stopped close to mailbox for my rental home and had the engine running, brake hold was on and when I unbuckled the car automatically engaged the parking brake without shifting the gear to park. I got out of the car, took the key, collected the mail and got back in. The problem appeared when I got back in. I managed to engage the car into drive mode, but seems like the parking brake did not completely disengage. The vehicle started to move in jerks and spurts as if the drive was happening with the parking brake still engaged. The foot brake wouldn't work and it was a really scary moment for me, but thankfully was able to shift the gear back to park mode. I turned off the engine and the system reset itself. For a while I didn't know what to do as the vehicle was moving but couldn't apply the foot brake at all. It could have been catastrophic under different circumstances. I am not sure how to approach Acura or the dealer with this problem and how to have them inspect it. I am not even sure if they will agree to inspect it for safety issues.

When driving at approximately 40 mph the car suddenly accelerates. I first noticed problem when coasting downhill, but now occurs on level highway also. Also there are periods when one tries to accelerate from a stop or from reverse to drive that the transmission hesitates before shifting into gear. At that point the engine has revved up causing the car to lurch forward when the gear does engage. Additionally even after a recall, the parking gear slips allowing the car to roll down hill. These problems have resulted in near accidents. Updated 11/18/15

(1) when at a complete stop with foot on the brake, it feels like someone is bumping the car from behind to make it go forward. (2) the car is cold with the temperate at 70 degrees and on auto - dealer suggested manually change the temperature to 85 degrees - car will become very uncomfortable. Have to manually keep changing the temperature every 10 minutes to make car comfortable.
