ON JULY 23, 2011, MY HAND AND ELBOW WERE PERMANENTLY DISABLED, WHEN MY 1999 ACURA TL ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND KNOCKED ME DOWN. AS I TRIED TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY BUT THE CAR WON. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED, BUT IT STILL ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE CAR HAD BEEN IN FOR SERVICE AT LEAST THREE TIMES PREVIOUS TO THE ACCIDENT IN 04-20-11,05-16-11, AND 06-22-11. EACH TIME, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MUNGENAST ACURA FOR SERVICE YET NOT ONCE DID THEY MENTION THE RECALL OF THE INTERLOCKING SWITCH TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN THIS MATTER DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ACCIDENT AND MY PERMANENT DISABILITY. THEY JUST REPLACED THE SWITCH WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO TURN OVER BUT STALL OUT AS I REPORTED TO THEM 3-13-14. THEIR DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY AND HONDA'S REFUSAL TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS...
