NHTSA Complaint #11246059 — 2017 ACURA TLX

IN 2017 I HAD THE CAR LOSE THROTTLE POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND EVERY LIGHT IN THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH. I LET OFF THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND TRIED ACCELERATING AGAIN AND THIS DID NOT WORK. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR SO OF TRYING THE CAR FINALLY STARTED. BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND SO WAS THE WARNING OF "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" AND "EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK PROBLEM". THE NEXT DAY I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT ACURA. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THE CAR HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND TRIPPED THE SENSORS BUT THEY CLEARED THE CODES AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THEY ALSO TRIED TO BLAME MY LENGTHY ROADTRIP FOR THE MALFUNCTION. WHEN YOU SPEND 40,000 DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT YOU DO NOT EXPECT A "MALFUNCTION" BUT I ACCEPTED THE RESULT AND WALKED AWAY. IN 2018 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH AND I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONE. BUT SUDDENLY THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED INTO 4TH GEAR(GOING 60MPH) AND WAS SITTING AT ABOUT 4500 RPMS AND I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT BUT REGAINED THROTTLE RESPONSE SO I PULLED OVER. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS TIME BECAUSE ALL OF THE LIGHTS HAD CLEARED OVERNIGHT. IN JUNE 2019 THIS HAD HAPPENED AGAIN FOR THE LAST TIME AND I TOOK THE CAR STRAIGHT BACK TO ACURA AND TOLD THEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. THEY CALLED ME 2 DAYS LATER AND TOLD ME THEY HAD TO UPDATE MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. SO I ASSUMED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY. BUT NOW JUST THE OTHER DAY AUGUST 19TH 2019 THE THROTTLE LOST COMPLETE POWER AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME NO LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON WITH NO ISSUES. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOU TIME!
