Consumer Description
I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2019 RDX ASPEC LAST FRIDAY, AND IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 500 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING HOME TONIGHT AND WENT ABOUT 60MPH TO PASS A CAR AND MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I TRIED PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS ABLE TO GUIDE ME TO THE SHOULDER. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS GONE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF. HOWEVER, THE CAR STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A FULL THROTTLE RESPONSE AND THE RPM IS STAYING AT ABOUT 3500 IN NORMAL MODE. THE AUTO-DISABLE ENGINE FEATURE IS ALSO NOT WORKING ANYMORE. IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING AT THIS POINT BUT THE ROADS WERE WET. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES CONTINUOUSLY BEFORE THIS AT ABOUT 60MPH.
