NHTSA Complaint #11421972 — 2020 ACURA RDX

I was on a three hour drive in the rain and around the 2.5 hour mark I attempted to overtake a vehicle by rapidly accelerating. The vehicle had a complete loss of power and the check engine light illuminated. The car would not accelerate however the engine was running. I had to get to the shoulder across multiple lanes without engine power. The vehicle would only drive at idle speed until I powered the vehicle down and restarted at which time normal operation resumed and the check engine light was no longer illuminated. This is the second time this has occurred on a lengthy drive in the rain both times when attempting to overtake another vehicle. The latest occurrence was on April 10th 2021. The Acura dealership was unable to replicate or find any error codes in the ECU and directed me to corporate Acura to file a case. There's been no traction with that case and the vehicle remains unsafe to operate in the rain.
