Description of the problem | My wife was involved in a car accident in which our car got t-boned on the driver side. My wife was completely blindsided and all the airbags on the driver side deployed and when she saw the smoke she thought there was a fire so she told my mother in law to quickly get my 2 yr. Old child out of her car seat. As my wife and her sister who was also sitting in the front started walking towards the back of the car to get me daughter out of the car our car started rolling back even though it was smashed to the right side of the rode and was at a complete stop. Meanwhile her mom was in the back trying to get out of a moving car which she thought was on fire. Since the car started rolling back into oncoming traffic my mother in law who was holding my daughter got dragged along the pavement with my daughter in her chest because her leg got stuck in the car. She finally got out of the car as it was rolling past the middle of this busy street but the car kept rolling back until eventually the back bumper rolled into another car. My wife swears she put the car in park and has no idea why the car started rolling back and obviously she wouldn't get out of a moving car so you know the car had come to complete stop. When we called acura to report this issue they chalked it up to my wife leaving the car in neutral but the car was not smashed onto a hill and the road was flat. Furthermore we found online there are parking brake issues with the tlx but the acura rep stated the recall was not for our vin#. My daughter and mother in law could have died from this issue but acura really didn't show any concern. |
