NHTSA Complaint #11326047 — 2020 ACURA RDX

AFTER DRIVING ON SECONDARY ROADS FOR AN HOUR, I ENTERED A HIGHWAY. I WAS ACCELERATING ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP AND NOTICED A CAR GOING VERY SLOW IN THE SLOW LANE. I PUT ON MY BLINKER, ACCELERATED MORE AND MOVED TO THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO 'LIMP MODE', LOSING ALL POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE WAS BLINKING. I COULD NOT PASS THE CAR THAT WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AS TRUCKS WERE BEARING DOWN ON ME. THIS WAS TERRIFYING! I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. AFTER 30 SECONDS I RESTARTED THE CAR AND ALL POWER WAS RETURNED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER COULD FIND NO PROBLEM, BUT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
