NHTSA Complaint #11301812 — 2019 ACURA RDX

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 ACURA RDX I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE. DURING ACCELERATION MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE. THIS PREVENTED ME FROM PASSING AND FORCED ME TO FALL BACK IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING. AFTER FALLING BACK IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE I PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND UPON TURNING IT BACK ON; IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I PAID NEARLY $50,000. TO HAVE A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS ISSUE IT BASICALLY SITS IN THE GARAGE. CONTACTING ACURA DEALERS / SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS BUT ARE WAITING FOR THE COMPANY ACURA TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND MY LIFE AND FAMILY'S LIFE WERE PUT INTO JEOPARDY. ACURA DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES IN JEOPARDY. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR ALLOW THEIR CUSTOMERS TO RETURN THIS DEFECTED VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY.
