NHTSA Complaint #11042944 — 2017 ACURA TLX

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN IOWA ON A 4-LANE (NON-INTERSTATE) WHEN MULTIPLE FAULT LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE VEHICLE DASH, AND THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER ABRUPTLY SLOWED THE VEHICLE'S SPEED TO 40 MPH OR LESS. REPEAT, ABRUPTLY. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON AN INTERSTATE AMID A PACK OF 18-WHEELERS RUNNING NOSE-TO-TAIL AT 70+ MPH, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT! LATER I FOUND THAT THE PUSH-BUTTON TRANSMISSION SELECTORS (JPEG PHOTO ATTACHED) CAN BE AFFECTED BY DEBRIS SUCH AS CRUMBS, SAND, OR LIQUID. SEE THE ATTACHED ACURA SERVICENEWS ARTICLE #B17010C VERSION #2, DATED FEBRUARY 2017 (PDF FILE ATTACHED). SEE ALSO THE CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE AT HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CAR-SAFETY/CARS-WITH-CONFUSING-OR-DANGEROUS-SHIFTERS/. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED TWO WARRANTY REPAIR INVOICES, 9/25/2017 AND 10/04/2017.
