2020 Acura Rdx

Driving 70 mph down interstate and all of the sudden the check engine light started flashing and the vehicle lost all power. Had to make an emergency move to the shoulder. The check engine light remained flashing and when car shut off and turned back on the engine light was not on and vehicle operation seemed to turn to normal. Have seen other reports of this specific model of vehicle losing power at highway speeds and is very dangerous situation.

MY SUV HAS BEEN IN SERVICE OVER 15 TIMES STEMMING FROM ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE DASH HARNESS, MULTI TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF INFOTAINMENT SYSTEMS, AND PIPING NOISE COMING FROM THE SPEAKERS. THE LOSS OF POWER AND 'LIMP MODE' HAS HAPPENS 3 TIMES. ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AFTER AN OUT OF STATE TRIP, AND TWICE ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING HUMID CONDITIONS. THE ELECTRIC ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED MULTI TIMES DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY, AND I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I WORKED MY WAY OUT OF THE MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE AC VENTS. A FEW MOMENTS LATER I COULD SEE FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE DASH BEHIND THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN.

ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER STARTING MY CAR UP IN THE MORNING MY ADAPATIVE DAMPER SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE ACURA DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO SHOULD KNOW THAT ACURA ADVANCE MODEL HAS AN ELECTRONIC SHOCK SYSTEM THAT ADJUSTS SHOCKS FOR CERTAIN TYPE OF DRIVING. I PERSONALLY LEAVE MINE ON COMFORT BUT NOW IT'S STUCK IN SPORTS MODE. I DROVE 4 HOURS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND IT TOOK THEM LITERALLY 5 HOURS TO DIAGNOSE THAT THE WIRING HARNESS IS BAD. THEY SAID THEY WILL HAVE TO LITERALLY TAKE APART ALL THE INTERNAL CONSOLE, SEATS, CARPETS, ETC TO REMOVE THAT ITEM AND REPLACE IT. NOW IT'S ON BACK ORDER FOR A MONTH. THE ADVISER SAID I CAN DRIVE IT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES FOR NOW BUT THEY WEREN'T SURE. SO WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER WE HAD A HUGE WINTER STORM AND MY VEHICLE COULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE THE ALL WHEEL OR SNOW DRIVING OPTIONS BECAUSE THE ADAPTIVE DAMPER SYSTEM IS ALL INTERLINKED TO THE ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. NORMALLY IT WOULD HAVE TAKE ME 4 HOURS TO GET HOME INSTEAD IT BECAME AN 8 HR ORDEAL. MY VEHICLE WAS SLIDING SIDE TO SIDE AND SLIPPING. I HAD A ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THAT COULD NOT ENGAGE THE ALL WHEEL SYSTEM AND COULDN'T USE THE SNOW DRIVING OPTIONS. INSTEAD WAS STUCK IN THE SPORTS MODE..... A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 1 YEARS OLD HAVING SOME MAJOR ISSUES LIKE THIS DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE SLOWED TO AN IDLE AND WOULD NOT RE-ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN ACURA DEALER WHO FAILED TO FIND A FAULT. EXACT SAME SITUATION OCCURED THE NEXT DAY ON THE HIGHWAY. ONLY THIS TIME I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 SECONDS AND IT RESTARTED AND RESUMED FULL POWER. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO AN ACURA DEALER WHO AGAIN COULD NOT FIND A FAULT ON THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE AND ORDERED AND REPLACE THE VEHICLE FUEL PUMP COMPLETE. NO ISSUES SINCE.
