Consumer Description

ACURA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE! MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS #11269881 AND COVERED FOUR SEPARATE INCIDENCES IN 2019. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! PREVIOUSLY TWO OF MY FOR INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING INVOLVED SIGNIFICANT INSTANT SLOWING DOWN OF THE CAR (BELOW 30 MPH) AND RPM RAISING WHILE WHILE DRIVING 70+ MPH ON INTERSTATE IS DANGEROUS! THIS TIME THE AFTERNOON PRIOR THE CAR EXPERIENCED A LOUDER THAN NORMAL ENGINE SOUND AND RPM LIKE IT WAS IN A LOWER GEAR. ON THE MORNING OF 4/24/20 WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND CYCLED THROUGH AND REMAINED ON MOST OF THE DAY. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE FOURTH TIME DRIVING THE CAR THAT THEY ALL STOPPED LIGHTING UP. HOWEVER THE CAR STILL SEEMS TO BE DRIVING IN A LOWER GEAR BUT NO LIGHTS REMAIN ON. THIS TIME IT DID NOT LOSE POWER BEFORE THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THEY JUST APPEARED ON WHEN WE WENT TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING.
