NHTSA Complaint #11202728 — 2019 ACURA RDX

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, ONAPRIL 19TH, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING THROUGHCOLUMBUS, GA. IT WAS AROUND 7:00 AM AND RAINING. WE HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS ANDWE WERE ONLY GOING AROUND30 MPH WHEN I ACCELERATED TO PASS A DUMP TRUCK. THE 2019 RDX (6000 MILES) STARTED ACCELERATING AND THEN LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING RUN OVER BY THE DUMP TRUCK BUT IT A WAS VERY SCARY COUPLE OF MINUTES. ITURNED THE RDX OFF FOR A MINUTE, RESTATED AND THEN CONTINUED OUR TRIP. I TOOK THE RDX TO THE ACURA DEALER IN MACON THE FOLLOWING DAY AND EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON NO CODES WERE STORED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID A HARD RESET OF THE SYSTEM HOPING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SEEM TO THINK THAT ACURA IS COMING OUT WITH A SOFTWARE FIX SOON BUT THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE THE STANDARD ANSWER. I'M NOW AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE RDX. ACURA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.
