Consumer Description

DRIVING IN THE RAIN, ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY, OUR 2020 ACURA RDX LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, AND WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 10/24/20 BUT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. WE WERE INFORMED THAT ACURA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND MAY BE WORKING ON A FIX. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO WIDELY REPORTED ON THE ACURAZINE INTERNET FORUM. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS TO ONLY HAPPEN DURING RAINY CONDITIONS AND WHEN ACCELERATING.
