NHTSA Complaint #11128347 — 2017 ACURA MDX

YESTERDAY WHILE STOPPED A LIGHT, THE MDX REFUSED TO MOVE ONCE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK. THE ENGINE BECAME VERY LOUD AND 'EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM' AND 'BRAKE PARKING PROBLEM' APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE TRUNK OPENED BUT WDNT CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES STAYING IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD IMMEDIATELY REVERT BACK TO PARK. THE TOWING COMPANY HAD ME CONTINUOUSLY HOLD IT IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO GET IT ON THE FLAT BED. IT TOOK 45 MINS TO FINALLY GET THE VEHICLE ON THE BED. I WAS REALLY ANNOYED AS I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING AS SUCH WITH MY PRIOR MDX AND WAS ON THE WAY TO MEET MY CHILDREN. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, A TLX WAS TOWED AND HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WDNT MOVE LIKE MINE. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SHIFTING OF GEARS WHEN DRIVING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD EVENTUALLY CHANGE BUT IT'S ALSO STILL HAPPENING. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM VERY DISSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ACURA
