NHTSA Complaint #11302218 — 2019 ACURA RDX

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY IN RURAL MISSISSIPPI. ONCE ON A STRAIGHTAWAY AND WITH PLENTY OF SPACE TO PASS, I ATTEMPTED TO DO SO. AS SOON AS I ACCELERATED, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I LOST ALL POWER, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON, AND I WAS TRAPPED IN THE LEFT LANE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC RACING AT ME. WITH LESS THAN TWO SECONDS TO SPARE AND WITH THE HELP OF DOWNHILL MOTION, I WAS ABLE TO SQUEEZE AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS AND INTO THE RIGHT LANE JUST AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHIZZED BY. I SAT ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND LITERALLY SHOOK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ACURA OF JACKSON. WHILE SITTING AT THEIR DEALERSHIP, I FOUND ALL THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. LIKE ALL THE OTHERS, NO CODES SHOWED UP AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION. I DROVE IT BACK TO TEXAS AND AM JUST WAITING FOR THE ISSUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN...PRAYING THAT IF AND WHEN IT DOES, IT WILL NOT BE A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION THIS TIME. WHY IS THIS CONTINUING TO BE REPORTED AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE? OTHERS REPORTED THIS HAPPENING IN HEAVY RAIN. I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON A WET ROAD AT THE TIME. IT WAS CLOUDY, BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING AT THE TIME. THE CAR WAS IN COMFORT MODE AT THE TIME.
