I own a 2016 Acura ILX and recently discovered multiple federally mandated safety recalls affecting my vehicle, including a brake master cylinder recall, fuel pump recall, driveshaft separation recall, and Takata airbag recall. I have owned this vehicle for over seven years and was never notified by mail or otherwise at my correct address that these safety recalls existed. One recall is currently active, but the dealership advised they cannot perform the repair due to parts unavailability until March, leaving me to operate a vehicle with a known brake-related safety defect. The remaining recalls are listed as not active, yet were never completed, and the dealer refused to perform them. I am concerned that required safety defects were not properly communicated or remedied, placing me and others at risk.
Drive Shaft Recall, and Truck is jammed due to Son sitting on it with his 3 friends smoking pot. The trunk has been jammed since 2017. I have reported it to Carmax in Garland.
Noticed loss of power, car would randomly go into limp mode while driving, I’d have to pull off to the side and restart the vehicle. Sometimes would hesitate or jerk.(this happened on the free way since I’m frequently on them) driveshaft feels likes it’s not performing 100%

MY 2016 ACURA ILX TRANSMISSION MAKES A "CLUNKING" SOUND WHEN 1) THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED AFTER SLOWING DOWN; WHILST SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE 8 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION IS REMAINING AT TOO HIGH A GEAR AT SLOWER SPEEDS. THE SOUND IS QUITE DISCONCERTING. I HAVE ESCALATED THE ISSUE TO ACURA CORPORATE OFFICE, AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL MAKE THE SAME SOUND. REALLY??? IS ACURA JUST WAITING FOR COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSIONS OR TORQUE CONVERTERS BLOWING UP BEFORE THEY TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION?
DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEED, VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO N. ALL POWER WAS LOST ALTHOUGH ENGINE REMAINED AT IDLE. NECESITATED EMERGENCY MENAUEVERS TO SHOULDER OF FREEWAY. ALL ALERT LIGHTS LIT, VEHICLE REMAINED AT IDLE. WAS UNABLE TO SELECT ANY GEAR. VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY ROADSIDE SERVICE TO DEALER. IN MOTION, AT FREEWAY SPEED, ON FREEWAY.
THERE EIS A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THERE IS A METAL TO METAL CLUNKING WHEREVER THERE IS SHIFT IN DRIVE TRAIN TORQUE. TECHNICIAN SUSPECTED BAD ENGINE/TRANSMISSION MOUNT CLUNKING AGAINST THE SUBFRAME OR BODY. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO SERVICE OVER 4 TIMES AND BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH AND THEY'RE SAYING IT'S AS DESIGNED.
