2019 Acura Rdx

I was driving and all of a sudden the car started to slow down and wouldn’t accelerate. After a couple pushes on the pedal it just completely shut off. Every mechanical light was on or flashing. I was in the middle of the road terrified but was able to steer over to the side of the street. I called 911. 2 gentlemen tried helping push it out of the way of traffic but we couldn’t get the car in neutral. I was able to get a tow to the dealership and they claimed nothing was wrong. My safety and other drivers were out at risk because I was blocking an entrance lane to a busy shopping center and a police officer had to park behind me. There was no warning, it came out of nowhere. I know there is a class action suit regarding this issue. I refuse to drive the car.

WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH 50MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPS DEVELOPING POWER AND BEGINS TO COAST DOWN TO A STOP, REGARDLESS OF GAS PEDAL INPUT. THE VEHICLES 'MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP', 'ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM INDICATOR', 'VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) SYSTEM INDICATOR', 'ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION (RDM) INDICATOR', 'COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) INDICATOR', AND 'BRAKE SYSTEM' LIGHT ILLIMINATE SIMULTANEEOUSLY. THE CENTER DISPLAY ROTATES THROUGH THESE PROBLEMS , ADVISES TO AVOID HEAVY ACCELERATION AND HIGH SPEED, AND ADVISES TO SEE THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED WHILE MERGING INTO A LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED ME. THIS CAR MUST BE RECALLED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ON ALL REQUIRED INSPECTIONS, IS RUN ON 91OCT GAS, AND WAS JUST IN A CERTIFIED ACURA DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 ACURA RDX. WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PARAGON ACURA (56-02 NORTHERN BLVD, WOODSIDE, NY 11377, (347) 862-9539) WHERE IT WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE AN UPDATE WAS COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 500.

THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE WAS LEASED IN MARCH 2019. I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT COMES STANDARD WITH MY VEHICLE. THE SCREEN IS GOING BLACK AND NOT RESPONDING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A BRIDGE. THIS IS CAUSING MY BLUETOOTH, BLINDSPOT ASSIST, NAVIGATION, AND ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING. IT WAS AT ONE POINT I WAS TOLD TO PLACE MY KEY NEAR THE START BUTTON IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. I WAS INFORMED BY DANIEL FLORES OF ACURA OF WAPPINGER FALLS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE PLACED IN A SITUATION WHERE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF OR A PEDESTRIAN. MY VEHICLE IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND I HAVE I INVESTED MORE THAN $10000 IN IT. THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET OUT OF IT IS TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $133.00 A MONTH (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) AND CHANGE THE VEHICLE OUT TODAY!!!. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP. MY HUSBAND RECENTLY HAD A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE CATCH ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY JUST UNDER MY BEDROOM WINDOW. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS MAY OCCUR AGAIN.

ERRATIC DISPLAY OPERATION CAUSES DRIVER DISTRACTION PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO CAR OPERATION (TRANSMISSION). AS SHOWN IN ATTACHMENTS IT DISPLAYS SYSTEM ERROR. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN GOES DARK. TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAYS FALSE INFORMATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES; EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG OR THEY BELIEVE PROBLEM WILL BE FIX WITH THE RADIO UPDATE. THEY CONSTANTLY RESET THE VEHICLE AND WRITE ON THE REPORT, NO PROBLEMS FOUND. MY OPINION IS THAT THERE IS AN INCOMPATIBILITY WITH THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS AND THE DISPLAY SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT ACURA IS USING TO PRESENT VEHICLE DATA TO THE DRIVER. IMG_0807 SHOWS THE WARNING OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE WHEN IN FACT ALL TIRES HAVE CORRECT PRESSURE. IMG_0802 SHOWS SYSTEM ERROR WHEN TRYING TO ACCESS A RADIO STATION. IMG_0801 SHOWS THE SYSTEM REQUIRES AN UPDATE BUT NO DEALER OR SERVICE GROUP HAS THE UPDATE. I'M UNABLE TO SHOW THE BLANK OR FLICKERING DISPLAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS IN COMFORT MODE OR SPORT OR SNOW

REFERENCE A SAFETY CONCERN CAUSING DRIVER DISTRACTION. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SHOULD REDUCE DISTRACTION, ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO DRIVING, BUT THE OPPOSITE IS OCCURRING. EXAMPLE : INTEGRATING CELL PHONE TO CARS BUILT IN HANDS FREE DEVICE, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK SOMETIMES CAUSING DISTRACTIONS. OTHER EXAMPLES ARE 2: SOMETIMES THE DISPLAY SCREEN STARTS FLASHING BACK AND FORTH FROM DARKER TO BRIGHT. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AT NIGHT WHEN THE SCREEN GOES INTO A BRIGHT DAY MODE. I KEEP A SPARE TOWEL HANDY TO COVER IT UP WHEN THIS OCCURS. 3: THE INFOTAINNMENT SYSTEM SOMETIMES STAYS IN A LOCK UP MODE SAYING "LOADING" AND THE BACK UP CAMERA SOMETIMES WILL NOT DISPLAY. THIS IS OF CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE GRAND CHILDREN. 4: WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE XM MUSIC COMES ON LOUD AND CONTROLS (KNOB & LEVER) WILL NOT FUNCTION TO LOWER THE VOLUME DISTRACTING DRIVER WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. SOMETIMES LOSS OF FUNCTION CONTROLLING THE VOLUME IS SHORTER TERM, OTHER TIMES WENT FOR 30 MINUTES. 5: NAVAGATION SYSTEM STOPS WORKING IN ROUTE CAUSING DISTRACTION TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SWITCH TO SMART PHONE. 6: NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES OCCUR ON WEEKLY BASIS DISTRACTING DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO REPAIR THIS WITH NO RESULTS AND THEM SAYING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WAITING ON ACURA TO COME UP WITH A FIX. I HAVE ALSO COMMUNICATED WITH ACURA, NO RESULTS. JUST BEING STRUNG ALONG FOR 1 YEAR NOW. VIDEOS OF THE ISSUES ARE AVAILABLE. PLEASE HELP.

WEN I TURN THE RADIO THE RADIO PLAY FOR 1 DAY AFTER ONE DAY I HAVE TO UNPLUG THE CAR BATTERY AND RESET THE RADIO BECAUSE THE RADIO DON'T WORK IT IS SAYING THAT THE RADIO IS NOT ABELOBLE SOW I HAVE TO DISCONET DE BATTERY EVERY OTHER DAY AND RESET THE RADIO FOR THE RADIO COULD WORK EVEN WEND ACURA SEND THE NEW UPDATE ON 9/18/2019 SOW THIS

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL 2019. TODAY FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS LEMON OUR DISPLAY SCREEN WENT OUT AND WE ARE HAVING TO BRING THIS CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WHEN OUR DISPLAY SCREEN GOES OUT WE ARE UNABLE TO SEE OUR BACKUP CAMERA WHICH IS A REQUIRED SAFETY DEVICE

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR 3/2019 AND SOON THEREAFTER STARTED HAVING SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TECHNOLOGY CONTROLLING NAVIGATION, PHONE, MEDIA, ETC., AND ITS FAILURE TO PERFORM CAN CAUSE DRIVER DISTRACTION, WHICH IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. ALL THESE THINGS HAVE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, WITHOUT CONSISTENCY AS TO WHY OR WHEN: 1.NAVIGATION FAILURE 2.CONFLICTING NAVIGATION DIRECTIONS BETWEEN THE DASHBOARD SCREEN AND THE ILLUMINATED NAVIGATION DIRECTIONS ILLUMINATED IN THE DRIVER'S WINDOW 3.DROPPING PHONE CALLS 4.DROPPING APPLE CAR PLAY AND ITS NAVIGATION SYSTEM 5.A TWO-VIEW SCREEN THAT CAN GO COMPLETELY BLANK, OR EITHER OF THE VIEWS CAN GO BLANK 6.THE CLOCK CHANGES TIME FOR NO REASON, AND THE LIST FOR THE FAILURES GO ON. ALL THE ISSUES ABOVE CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH OUR FAMILY INSIDE.THESE GLITCHES HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, CONFUSING AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER. THIS IS SIMPLY UNSAFE.WE HAVE REPORTED ALL THESE ISSUES TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP WHERE THE NEW CAR WAS PURCHASED. WE HAVE PROVIDED PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE FLAWS TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REBOOTED THE CAR, BUT THE PROBLEMS PERSIST. ONLY RECENTLY, AFTER PUSHING ACURA, THEY ADMITTED THERE IS A KNOWN TECHNOLOGY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ACURA IS AWARE OF IT AND IS WORKING ON A SOLUTION, WITH NO DEFINITIVE DATE FOR RESOLUTION. IN THE MEANTIME, WE ARE DRIVING A CAR WITH SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS FLAWS, WHICH ACURA KNEW AT THE TIME OF THE SALE, YET SOLD TO THE PUBLIC REGARDLESS. IN THE LAST CONVERSATION WITH ACURA, WE BASICALLY WERE YELLED AT AND TOLD THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE OF ASSISTANCE AND WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE FIX. SO WE BOUGHT A AUTO, WITH KNOWN SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DEFECTS BY ACURA, WITH NO SOLUTIONS FORTHCOMING, AND STONEWALLING BY ACURA. THEY DID OFFER TO BUY BACK THE CAR, BUT AT A DISCOUNT SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT FOR FIVE MONTHS. IT ALL SMELLS.
