I got the same here too. My workaround is writing the data to a hidden text input though.

Same problem
I am using same auto complete field in 2 different light box forms and second time it never works.
What to do?? 

Currently, the only way to unbind the autocomplete is by using google.maps.event.clearListeners and remove all "focus", "blur" and "keydown" events and then remove the .pac-container:

    google.maps.event.clearListeners(input, "focus");
    google.maps.event.clearListeners(input, "blur");
    google.maps.event.clearListeners(input, "keydown");

    $(".pac-container").hide();

But I'm afraid this might break if the internal calls change in one of the next API releases.

Hey everybody !
I've found a simple ugly workaround which prevent autocomplete to go further "place_changed" callback, you just need to insert a runtime error and it will stop there.

    google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
        var place = autocomplete1.getPlace();
        error(); // This is the runtime error, undefined function
    });

I've just tried it with FF, it doesn't stop the listeners, you can still reuse the form for example.

Is this issue still open?

Apparently 
autocomplete.unbindAll();
removes any listeners added to autocomplete.

google.maps.event.clearInstanceListeners(element);
removes any listeners added to input element.

Not sure if anything else needs to be done for full cleanup.

Is there any way to get corresponding '.pac-container' to given Autocomplete instance? I am working on angular app and after going back and forth views with such field, multiple '.pac-container' are spammed and left in DOM.

$scope.$on('$destroy',()=>{
	var instance = document.querySelector('.pac-container');

	autocomplete.unbindAll();
	google.maps.event.clearListeners(autocomplete);

	if(instance){
		instance.parentNode.removeChild(instance);
	}
});

Non of the solutions above works for me:

* autocomplete.unbindAll() // does not unbind any binging
* $(".pac-container").hide() //not sufficient
* $(".pac-container").remove() //works well if you have only one autocomplete on the page. If you have more, you disable all of them.

My workaround is to remove input element and recreate it again.
