NHTSA Complaint #11376675 — 2020 ACURA RDX

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 4:30AM WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I HAD A 12 HOUR DRIVE AHEAD OF ME AND I NEVER STOPPED THINKING OF HOW THAT COULD HAVE ENDED UP SO BADLY. LATER THAT DAY AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH ATLANTA I SHUDDERED TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS LACK OF PROPULSION HAD OCCURRED. MY GUESS, QUITE BLUNTLY, IS THAT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING TO A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE. ACURA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!
