SERVICE BRAKES
TYPICALLY ONLY IN COLD MONTHS, BRAKES SQUEAL EXTREMELY LOUDLY AND FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GRABBING, ESPECIALLY IF DOWNHILL (AND IT CAN BE AT LOW SPEEDS AND MINOR DECLINES). THE OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS OF PURCHASE AND WAS REPORTED TO DEALER. DEALER FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF ISSUES. TOLD TO REPORT TO CLIENT SERVICES AND WAS TOLD WORKING ON SOLUTION. NOW TOLD DEALER WILL NEED TO RESOLVE IF THERE'S ISSUES. ISSUE OCCURS AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND DISSIPATES, FOR MOST PART, AFTER DRIVING AWHILE BUT WILL RETURN WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF CAR-BEING TURNED OFF.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 4:30AM WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I HAD A 12 HOUR DRIVE AHEAD OF ME AND I NEVER STOPPED THINKING OF HOW THAT COULD HAVE ENDED UP SO BADLY. LATER THAT DAY AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH ATLANTA I SHUDDERED TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS LACK OF PROPULSION HAD OCCURRED. MY GUESS, QUITE BLUNTLY, IS THAT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING TO A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE. ACURA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 10:15 PM ROUTE 287 (IN ROUTE TO EDISON RTE 1 EXIT). 2020 ACURA RDX A-SPEC - A FEW MINUTES AFTER ACCELERATING SAFELY ONTO A MERGING LANE (WITH TRUCKS) THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE LIGHT STARTS BLINKING AND CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A ROLL. AS THE TRUCK'S HEADLIGHTS GOT CLOSER, IT MANAGED ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER CARS TO SWITCH LANES AS I TURNED HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND STEERED THE CAR INTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF (HAZARD LIGHTS STILL ON) WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. ACURA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE AND WAS UNDER 6700 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS ALSO SERVICED WITH MAINTENANCE B A WEEK PRIOR TO MY TRIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE SLOWED TO AN IDLE AND WOULD NOT RE-ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN ACURA DEALER WHO FAILED TO FIND A FAULT. EXACT SAME SITUATION OCCURED THE NEXT DAY ON THE HIGHWAY. ONLY THIS TIME I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 SECONDS AND IT RESTARTED AND RESUMED FULL POWER. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO AN ACURA DEALER WHO AGAIN COULD NOT FIND A FAULT ON THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE AND ORDERED AND REPLACE THE VEHICLE FUEL PUMP COMPLETE. NO ISSUES SINCE.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
ON TWO OCCASIONS THE ACURA COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM "CMBS" ENGAGED ERRONEOUSLY AND AGGRESSIVELY. 1)WHILST TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 50 MPH, THE CAR WE WERE FOLLOWING MOMENTARILY BRAKED THEN QUICKLY ACCELERATED. ACCORDINGLY OUR VEHICLE WAS BRAKED, AND UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, THE RDX'S SYSTEM MISREAD THE CLEAR ROAD AHEAD AND AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED, HARD, FULLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEHIND US SKIDDED TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID HITTING US, AND IT ALMOST CAUSED A MULTI-CAR PILE UP. 2) WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO-WAY TWO-LANE ROAD THE SYSTEM ENGAGED WHILE ROUNDING A BEND OF ABOUT 30 DEGREES AT ABOUT 25 MPH. A VEHICLE WAS COMING AROUND THE APEX OF THE BEND IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION (OTHER VEHICLE BENDING TO THE LEFT) JUST AS OUR VEHICLE ALSO REACHED THE APEX OF THE TURN (BENDING TO THE RIGHT RIGHT); THE CMBS FLASHED "BRAKE", BUT AS NO BRAKING WAS WARRANTED NOR APPLIED, THE CMBS SYSTEM FLASHED "BRAKE" ON THE DASH AND SUBSEQUENTLY BRAKED ABRUPTLY, AGAIN STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN A TRAFFIC LANE WITH A CLEAR ROAD AHEAD. WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES WITH FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEMS AND HAVE HAD THAT FEATURES IN THREE OTHER VEHICLES SINCE 2015. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR.

DRIVING IN THE RAIN, ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY, OUR 2020 ACURA RDX LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, AND WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 10/24/20 BUT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. WE WERE INFORMED THAT ACURA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND MAY BE WORKING ON A FIX. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO WIDELY REPORTED ON THE ACURAZINE INTERNET FORUM. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS TO ONLY HAPPEN DURING RAINY CONDITIONS AND WHEN ACCELERATING.

ENGINE
I RECENTLY LEASED 2020 ACURA RDX BASE MODEL SUV. I HAVE NOTICED FREQUENT UNEXPLAINED DECELERATION WHEN ON HIGHWAY, PROBABLY OCCURS AT LEASED ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE CONTACTED ACURA OF PLEASANTON VIA THE SALES ASSOCIATE I HAVE DEALT WITH FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. HAVE NOT RECEIVED RESPONSE, AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT A RECALL ON THIS MODEL HAS BEEN ISSUED, SO I AM IS CONTACTING THE COMPANY DIRECTLY. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE I FIND THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 40 COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA REGARDING EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS HAVE INCLUDED PRIOR VISITS TO ACURA DEALERS FOR REPAIRS, BUT WHAT WAS DONE DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SO APPEARS ACURA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE ALSO THAT IT COULD BE A SAFETY FACTOR, BASED ON REPORTS IN THE COMPLAINTS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN INSTANCE WHERE SAFETY WAS INVOLVED - YET - BUT I CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHEN MY RDX DECELERATES, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO, THE VEHICLE IS UNRESPONSIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE RECEIVED MAILINGS FROM A LEGAL GROUP URGING ME TO FILE, THEY INDICATE THAT MY RDX IS SUBJECT THE 'LEMON LAW'. I AM ALSO AWARE FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT MORE THAN ONE CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS BEEN FILED BY RDX OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF TAKING VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SINCE OTHERS REPORT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT GET RESOLVED, AND ACURA DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE SOLUTION FOR DECELERATION ISSUE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT APPROXIMATELY 10A OCT 14TH 2020 TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ROUTE 15 IN LYCOMING COUNTY PA WEATHER CONDITIONS LIGHT RAIN 65DEG F DRIVING 2020 ACURA RDX WITH 2800 MILES ON ODOMETER. UPON APPROACH OF TRUCK TRAFFIC IN RIGHT LANE MOVED INTO LINE OF FASTER MOVING TRAFFIC IN LEFT LANE TO PASS TRUCKS WHEN THE ACURA RDX IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND SPEED, ALMOST CAUSED A CHAIN OF REAR END COLLISIONS AND THE VEHICLE FLASHED THE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DISPLAY AND WOULD NOT MAINTAIN MORE THAN 25 MPH IN A 70 MPH ZONE. LEFT THE ROADWAY SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IN APPROXIMATELY THREE MINS AND VEHICLE FUNCTION WAS NORMAL FOR THE REMAINING 40 MILES OF THE TRIP. OCT 16 2020 CONTACTED HONDA MOTORS USA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT DEALER (150 MILES AWAY) FOR DIAGNOSING. UPON SOME QUICK RESEARCH DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR MANY 2019/2020 ACURA RDX OWNERS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT ACURA IS AWARE OF AND IS NOT ADDRESSING. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO RECALL AND NOT ONE OWNER HAS HAD ANY RESOLUTION TO DATE. I REQUEST THE NHTSA INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY TO ENGAGE ACURA IN RESOLVING THIS CRITICAL VEHICLE DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS A DEADLY ISSUE. THANK YOU.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE ATTEMPTING TO OVERTAKE SOMEONE ON THE FREEWAY, ACCELERATING FROM 60 TO 70 MPH (IN A 70). I HAD TO NAVIGATE FROM LEFT LANE TO RIGHT SHOULDER ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. TERRIFYING. CAR WAS REMEDIED AFTER TURNING OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. OF NOTE, THIS WAS A LONG (3+ HOUR) TRIP IN THE RAIN. A QUICK SEARCH REVEALED A TON OF OTHER ACURA OWNERS WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE' NOTING SPECIFICALLY THAT IT DOESN'T GENERATE AN ERROR CODE THATS STORED THAT HONDA/ACURA CAN USE TO TROUBLESHOOT. MY CAR WAS CPO, UNDER A WEEK SINCE PURCHASE, 6,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. CRAZY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT ROAD, I CAME UPON A CAR THAT HAD STOPPED IN MY LANE AND DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. I SLOWED DOWN, PROBABLY UNDER 30 MPH, AND DECIDED TO GO AROUND THE VEHICLE. I WAS OVER THE CENTER LINE OF THE ROAD AND FLOORED MY ACCELERATOR TO GET AROUND THE STOPPED VEHICLE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. RIGHT AFTER THIS MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE MIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CAN NOT REMEMBER IF IT WAS FLASHING OR ON STEADY. MY CAR'S ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT HAD NO POWER SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, I RESTARTED MY CAR, THE MIL LIGHT WAS OFF AND MY CAR RAN FINE. I HAVE A CODE READER. WHEN I GOT HOME THE FIRST THING I DID WAS ATTACH THE CODE READER AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO CODE(S) STORED. I WAS OF THE BELIEF THAT IF THE MIL LIGHT CAME ON A CODE WOULD BE STORED. MY CONCERN IS MY CAR LOST POWER WHEN I REALLY NEEDED IT TO PASS SAFELY. THE DEALER SAID THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE SAME PROBLEM BUT I WANT IT ON RECORD. I CHECKED THE ACURA FORUM AND FOUND OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE CAR GOING INTO LIMP MODE, THE MIL LIGHT COMING ON AND NO CODE STORED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON I-75 THROUGH THE LEADING EDGE OF THE REMNANT OF HURRICANE SALLY ON 9/16/2020 MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED CONTROL AND THE CHECK ENGINE ICON STARTED FLASHING. I MANAGED TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE ONTO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE ENGINE. AFTER REVIEWING THE OWNERS MANUAL I VERIFIED THAT THE GAS FILL DOOR WAS CLOSED. STARTED THE ENGINE AND HAD NO ICONS OR WARNINGS. I THEN GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE BUT ABOUT TWENTY MILES LATER THE CAR AGAIN LOST SPEED, 9 MAINTENANCE WARNINGS AND MULTIPLE ALARM ICONS LIT UP. THIS TIME THE MAX SPEED OBTAINABLE WAS ABOUT 20 MPH. I MANAGED TO DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER TO AN EXIT AND STOP. I CALLED ACURA AND THEY HAD AAA SEND A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE CAR TO THE DEALER IN MACON, GA. THE DEALER SAID TWO CYLINDERS WERE NOT FIRING AND NUMEROUS CODES WERE REPORTED. THEY WERE ABLE TO RESET THE COMPUTER TO ELIMINATE THE ALARMS AND TAKE IT OUT OF "LIMP MODE" BUT THEY COULD NOT SAY WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM OR WHAT THE PERMANENT FIX WOULD BE. MY VEHICLE HAD 4314 TOTAL MILES AND HAD ONLY BEEN OWNED FOR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTIPLE VEHICLE WRECK RESULTING IN INJURIES OR DEATHS TO MY FAMILY AND OTHER MOTORISTS.
