FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I purchased the car new in 2019. I believe in 2020, the car was repaired for a recall notice on the fuel pump. At the time, I had around 2000 miles on the car. I now have about 4700 miles on the car. On September 4th of this year, I was driving on ta road and the car completely lost power on the road. The accelerator would not work and I had a coast to a turn off. This sudden loss of power could have caused an accident. After being sent to the dealership, the notified me that the fuel pump would need to be replaced which to my understanding is the same part that was recalled. Not only am I notifying NHTSA of the repeated failure of the part that was supposedly replaced and could lead to a crash, I also wanted to notify NHTSA that I am being asked to pay for a portion of the repair, which is significant. I do not understand why I need to pay for the replacement of a failed recall as I thought that was not allowed by law. There were a whole series of errors including fuel system error. The dealership has confirmed the part failure and I have an estimate for the repair.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On my 2017 Acura NSX, Fuel Pump Module have failed on July 12, 2025, while driving on a highway, and the engine stalled coming to a stop in the middle of the freeway. The service dealer at Greensboro Acura confirmed the failed Fuel Pump Module part number is 17708-T6N-A02-M1 and it is clearly listed under NHTSA Recall 23V-858 report on page 11 Component Name 31. I have reported this incident and explained to Honda/Acura Client Relations Recall division, but was told that there's NO recall on my VIN. I believe Honda/Acura has failed to include this vehicle's VIN as part of the NHTSA Recall 23V-858 clearly includes recall information of the part listed on page 11 of NHTSA Recall 23V-858 report - Component Name 31. I have included a picture of the part 17708-T6N-A02-M1. I believe Acura/Honda has failed to add my VIN as part of the recall. Now that it has failed and require replacement, I hope you attend to this urgent matter at your earliest convenient time possible.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My vehicle is 2017 Acura NSX with VIN 19UNC1B08HY000777. My vehicle experienced a fuel pump module failure identical to the known defect under Recall 23V-858, but my VIN is not currently included in the recall. I believe it should be. This is a significant safety matter, as I faced such fuel pump module failure that caused failure of the overall vehicle that came to a stop while I was driving on a freeway. I've never experienced such unsafe events. The car is not drivable and failed in hazardous conditions and is a safety risk. It was towed to the Acura dealer and diagnosed with Fuel Pump Malfunction with DTC P0087 and P2636 identical to known defect under Recall 23V-858. Please review and consider adding my VIN to Recall 23V-858.

POWER TRAIN
DEAR NHTSA: WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION I NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT A TRANSMISSION PART FAILED. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO. I LEARNED BY FURTHER INVESTIGATION THAT ACURA OF AMERICA IS AWARE OF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND HAS ISSUED MULTIPLE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN THE UNITED STATES SEE ATTACHED. IN JAPAN HONDA ISSUED AN OFFICIAL SAFETY RECALL IS ACTIVE FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE JAPANESE PARTS AND THE AMERICAN PARTS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT HONDA OF JAPAN ADOPTED A MORE STRINGENT AND ETHICALLY SOUND STANCE WHEN REGARDING THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMER AND OTHERS ON THEIR ROADWAYS. I THEN CONTACTED ACURA OF AMERICA FOR GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. ON 3/15/19 DURING A RECORDED PHONE CALL [XXX], SELF-IDENTIFIED AS REGIONAL MANGER OF CUSTOMER RELATIONS AMERICAN HONDA, NOTIFIED ME THAT ACURA HAS DENIED THIS CLAIM, ACURA CASE NO. 09421151 . FURTHER, ACURA HAS NO SAFETY RECALLS OPEN ON THIS VEHICLE, AND SHE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS EVIDENCED BY THE PHOTO ATTACHED SHOWING PIECES OF HARDENED METAL FROM A BROKEN SNAP RING INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION. THIS BROKEN METAL WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION CASE CAN CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND LOCKING OF THE TRANS-AXEL AT SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED GRAPHS OF A YEARS LONG - LIVE SURVEY BY AN ONLINE ACURA NSX OWNERS GROUP WHICH ILLUSTRATES THAT THIS SAFETY DEFECT IS STILL AFFECTING NUMEROUS OWNERS TO THIS DATE.

I HAVE COPIED ACURA OF AMERICA SINCERELY, [XXX] - 3/15/19 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR HAS LOST POWER A COUPLE OF TIMES. WHEN THE CAR'S BATTERY GOES DEAD, YOU CANNOT CLOSE EITHER DOOR ON THIS CAR. IF YOU HAVE BAD WEATHER THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE INTERIOR OF THIS CAR WILL GET DAMAGED. THERE IS AN ONE INCH GAP BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE BODY OF THE CAR. THE DOORS WILL LOCK UP AND YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL POWER IS RESTORED. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY YOU CANNOT LOCK YOURSELF IN THE CAR AND THERE AGAIN YOU CANNOT SECURE THE VECHICLE IF NEEDING TO GO FOR HELP. THERE IS ALSO A RATTLE IN BOTH DOORS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 40 DAYS IN THE FIRST YEAR.
