My vehicle was parked, running and unoccupied on the street. My wife entered from the passenger side reaching in to retrieve something from the center console. She pressed the start/stop engine button to shut off the vehicle. The car started rolling backwards down a hill, knocking my wife to the ground causing injury. Car continued to roll until it struck a tree.

Have had this car a year. Withing 6 months shifter would not shift back to park and couldnt turn car off. Dealer found acorns jammed in transmission somewhere felt to be due to squirrels or other rodents. This month emissons light came on. Found fuel line leaking due to animals chewing on it. Not covered under warranty. $1100 to fix. I feel the engine housing is not well sealed allowing this to happen have never had this issue with any other cars which have been parked in same place for long periods of time. Feel it should be fixed under warranty to prevent it from happening again. Vehicle sits outside driven twice a week.

Today (12/30/18) our brand new 2018 Acura Rdx's sunroof exploded while driving ( straight road, normal highway speed, excellent weather conditions and light to no Sunday morning traffic). The sound was a loud and intense pop overhead......the glass sunroof was completely shattered. We immediately closed the headliner roof shade to protect us. Within a minute or so the glass started to break apart and hit the highway. We got off the highway as soon as we could. Then got out to access the damage. No sign of any external impact! we thought it had to be a freak engineering defect in the glass. We expect Acura to tell us that "they have never heard of such a thing before" when we bring the car in to the dealership in the morning. We'll see how honest they actually are. Now I know we are not the first this has ever happened to! thankfully only a little blood loss cleaning out the glass from the roof. Call it luck? the scare alone could give you a heart attack!
