Consumer Description
WE WERE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE I10 HEADED TO NEW ORLEANS WHEN OUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ACCELERATION THE DASHBOARD LITE UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE TELLING ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND THEN ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ERROR, TRANSMISSION ERROR AND AN EMISSIONS ERROR ALL AT ONCE. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT AND WE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET TO THE SMALL SIDE OF THE ROAD ON THIS BUSY INTERSTATE. IT SCARED THE BOTH US! THE MDX WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE OR NEUTRAL? WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK WE ALMOST WERE SIDE SWIPED. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR THE SAFETY FEATURES AND IT HAS REALLY CAUSED MY WIFE AND I TO LOSE ALL FAITH AND NOW CANNOT DEPEND ON IT. OUR VEHICLE HAS 44K ON IT AND IT WAS EVEN A ACURA CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED INSPECTED VEHICLE. I HAVE LEARNED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME TYPE OF INCIDENT AND MODEL OF ACURA. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND ACURA BETTER OWN UP TO THIS FAULTY VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!
