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%
From second month of buying car, battery drained, Acura towing came and towed car to a nearby dealership and replace battery under warranty. Took car down to dealership that I purchased from about nose in front driver wheel hole and problems with the electrical components of the car. They stated "car is new drive it more" the electrical power stirring, the battery drains quickly(problem with fuse), the brakes system sets off sensors, ABS light on, airbag light on (all though dealership stated they repaired that recall). Powertrain and transmission leaking, check hill start assist system, check vsa system, found recall for powertrain on internet that was from July 2019 that I have not been notified about. Complained about paint fading on hood over engine, complained about shocks and struts that don't need replacement but there is something loose that is making noise, I have updated home address with Acura but even so when I moved in 2017 I did a chang of address. They have replaced alternator, that I don't believe needed changing at that time, service tech at one dealership told me if I serviced my car would burn up but of course offered me to buy a new car. Acura service at several dealerships have never given me pictures or mentioned transmissions leak but Honda gave me all evidence. Metal sound transmission is permeated showing this has been a problem threw several inspections that are all documented with Acura.

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"

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.
