NHTSA Complaint #11219423 — 2019 ACURA RDX

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ACCELERATING TO ENTER A TOLL LANE. THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I LOST ACCELERATION ABILITY IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO CROSS 6 LANES TO GET TO SHOULDER ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY.. I HAD ALREADY BEEN DRIVING FOR 1.5 HOURS WITH NO ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECORD OF THE ISSUE IN THE CAR LOGS AND THEREFORE NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I WAS LUCKY THAT FELLOW DRIVERS ALLOWED MY LIMPING VEHICLE ACCESS TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON THE CAR RESET THE ISSUE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. ENGINE IDLE STOP NO LONGER WORKED AFTER THIS HAPPENED. I HAD PASSED THROUGH A MAJOR RAINSTORM PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE - NOT SURE IF THAT WAS RELATED.
