Consumer Description

MY 2016 MDX SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WON?T LET ME ACCELERATE. I HAVE ESCAPED GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY DO A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE HOWEVER THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS L. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. ACURA HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES BUT ISSUED A TSB15-034. I HAVE RECEIVED THIS TSB UPDATE BUT THE PROBLEM HASN?T BEEN FIXED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I HAVE BARELY ESCAPED GETTING INTO TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST ACURA FOR THE SAME BUT ACURA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. WHEN THE ISSUE ARISES THE MIL STARTS FLASHING RANDOM ERROR MESSAGES. I AM ATTACHING THE PICTURES OF THE ERROR MESSAGES I GOT WHILE STRANDED ON I95. *TR
