This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle loses almost all engine power under hard acceleration. This fault requires you to stop the vehicle and restart to continue. Engine light flashes yellow. The first time this occurred was at highway speed in a passing situation. The second time was during a freeway merge. Both instances could have ended badly as the freeways were busy and other vehicles around me were traveling at speed. The first incident was reported to the dealership and to Acura corporate. Nothing was noted as faulty or corrected.
The engine shut down in the middle of an intersection in traffic, while in motion. The car refused to start up again, indicating a transmission failure. The car also refused to shut down, and the electronics are confused. This is the third incident that I had with this vehicle.
