Consumer Description

TRAVELING 70 MPH DOWN INTERSTATE IN LIGHT RAIN WENT TOO ACCELERATE TO PASS A SEMI AND THE CAR NOT WOULD NOT RESPOND IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO GO FROM 70 TO 40 . VERY LUCKY WE WERE NOT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THE LEFT SHOULDER WAS CLOSED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. TURNED ON HAZARD FLASHERS AND MANEUVERED TO AN EXIT AND PULLED OVER. WE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED. SEEMS FINE NOW BUT READING ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. IT SEEMS THAT A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS MENTION RAIN IN THEIR EXPERIENCES. ACURA NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED (MAY HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED).
