Consumer Description
THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS ASSIGNED NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11277657. SIMILAR TO THE INCIDENT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE, LOST ACCELERATION, STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE CAR INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND PULL OFF INTO THE SHOULDER. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN WE TURNED IT BACK ON THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. AS WITH THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT, THIS OCCURRED IN THE RAIN. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND, AS WITH THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT, WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US. WE WERE TOLD THAT IF THE ISSUE OCCURS AGAIN TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AS STATED IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS TIME MY TWO CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR ACURA TO FIND AN ACCEPTABLE RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM? HOW MANY OF THESE MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD???
