SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SEVERAL TIMES, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON THE CAR TO CHECK ALL OF THE SYSTEMS AND THEN THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS MID DRIVE MOSTLY WHILE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD BUT SOMETIMES ON A MAJOR PARKWAY. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START THE CAR OR CHANGE GEAR WHILE IT WAS SHUT OFF. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW SEVERAL 2015 ACURAS WERE RECALLED WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE PICTURES THAT I TOOK WHEN IT WAS LAST FLASHING IF THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE IS SO UNSAFE . I HAD LOTS OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS HAPPEN AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CHECK IT AND SAY IT'S FINE ! THE VEHICLE STALLS AND HESITATES AND I GET SENSORS GOING OFF CONSTANTLY INCLUDING THE BRAKE SENSOR WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME FOR IT TO GO OFF . I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE GO IN PARK BY ITSELF WHILE ON A LIGHT. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START AND ALWAYS NEEDS A JUMP I GOT THE BATTERY CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY BATTERY IS GOOD AND I HAVE TO CHARGE IT . I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE . MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES I HAVE ALL MY MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON TIME I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THINKING IT'S RELIABLE BEING I'M A MOTHER OF TWO KIDS!

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WON'T CRANK AND WON'T START. ENDED UP STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS WHILE OUT SHOPPING. EACH TIME STRANDED, THE CAR WOULD START AFTER BEING JUMPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE EACH TIME. AFTER THE FIRST ACCOUNT OF BEING STRANDED AND JUMPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR BATTERY WAS TESTING "VERY GOOD" AND THEY SAID MY BATTERY WOULD RECHARGE ITSELF AND THAT THE DRAINAGE COULD BE DUE TO THE HOT TEXAS WEATHER. NOT SO MUCH THE CASE AS I ENDED UP STRANDED TWO DAYS AFTER THAT, ONCE AGAIN. THEN, A WEEK OR SO LATER, ON ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF BEING STRANDED AND JUMPED STARTED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, I DROVE TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM TEST MY BATTERY TO FIND THAT IT THEN TOO TESTED "VERY GOOD." AUTOZONE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE A PORTABLE CAR CHARGER, SO I DID. CAME TO FIND OUT THAT UPON BEING STRANDED THE FOURTH TIME, THE PORTABLE CHARGER WAS UNABLE TO GET ME JUMPED/STARTED. SO, I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TRIED USING "THEIR" PORTABLE CAR CHARGER BUT FAILED TO WORK. SO THE REP PULLED OUT HIS JUMPER CABLES AND WAS ABLE TO JUMP MY CAR AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AT THAT POINT, I WENT BACK TO AUTOZONE AND DECIDED TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR BATTERY EVEN THOUGH MY EXISTING BATTERY TESTED "VERY GOOD" ONCE AGAIN. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT, MY SRS AIRBAG LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE THEN. IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE I'VE HAD THE NEW BATTER INSTALLED AND I'M NOW STRANDED AGAIN. I'VE SEEN WAY TOOO MANY POSTS WITH OTHER FOLKS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN I BACK OUT OF SOMEWHERE AND SELECT `DRIVE' ON THE TRANSMISSION THERE IS A DELAY OF 2 SECONDS TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT ENGAGES IN 'DRIVE' .THAT IS A LONG TIME WHEN A PERSON IS PULLING OUT ON AN ARTERIAL. THE ACCELERATION IWHEN IN 'DRIVE' IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH A SIMILAR HESITATION. FROM THE TIME THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN PRESSED IT COULD BE 2 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT BEGINS TO MOVE. IT HAS BEEN TERRIFYING WHEN MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY OR SIMPLY JUST PULLING OUT ON ANY ROADWAY.THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS SLUGGISH WHEN GOING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE ALSO BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT LIKE NOT BEING ABLE GO FORWARD IS. THIS HAD A RECALL ON FUEL PUMP PROGRAMMING AND THAT MADE LITTLE OR NO IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE ACURA INVOICES AND FILM THAT I HAVE TAKEN ON ANOTHER DEVICE THAT CAN BE PROVIDED.
