NHTSA Complaint #10928282 — 2016 ACURA MDX

DRIVING ON CITY STREET IN TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 20 MPH. ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. INDIVIDUAL FAILURE ALERTS FLASHED ON NAVIGATION SCREEN. CONTINUED 2 MILES TO DESTINATION AND TURNED OFF IGNITION. RETURNED 2 HOURS LATER AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. CONTACTED ACURA CORPORATE AND THEY SAID IT WAS UP TO THE DEALER! RESEARCH SHOWS OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IN SOME CASES WITH HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR ALSO SUDDENLY DROPPED SPEED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE ISSUE IS CLEARLY AN INTERMITTENT BUG, PROBABLY SOFTWARE. RATHER THAN DO THEIR JOB AND TRY TO RECREATE IT AT THEIR LABS, ACURA IS JUST WAITING UNTIL THERE IS A LUCKY HIT ON THE PROBLEM OR AN ACCIDENT BEFORE RESPONDING. CLEARLY THIS IS A TOUGH PROBLEM BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THE "STANDARD" METHODOLOGY ISN'T SUFFICIENT. I GUESS THE ONLY RESPONSE FOR A USER IS TO NOT EVER BUY AN ACURA AGAIN. THAT WILL BE MY SOLUTION. *TR
