WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH AND PASSING, MY ENGINE HAS STALLED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ONCE AT 1200 MILES AND THE OTHER TWICE IN ONE DAY AT 4,000 MILES. THE CAR OBVIOUSLY LOSES ALL POWER CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO MERGE RIGHT IN TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER TO RESTART THE CAR. EACH TIME IS WAS UNDER FULL ACCELERATION AND IN HIGH TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

MY ACURA HAS "STALLED" TWICE NOW WHILE PASSING (ONCE AT ABOUT 4800 MILES AND THE OTHER AT ABOUT 5600 MILES ON ODO). BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL AND LANE KEEP ASSIST AND TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH. BOTH TIMES I WAS OVERTAKING A LARGE VEHICLE THAT WAS TO THE RIGHT OF ME. BOTH TIMES, I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR ACCELERATED FOR ONLY A SPLIT SECOND, THEN LOST ALL POWER, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I HAD TO CUT ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO ENGINE POWER TO GET THE SHOULDER. (V…

WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON I-64 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR IN THE LEFT LANE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND TURNED OFF. WE HAD NO ACCELERATION NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER. WE COULDN'T GET SAFELY TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND WERE FORCED TO PULL TO THE LEFT NEXT TO THE JERSEY WALL AND IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. 1/3RD OF OUR VEHICLE WAS STILL IN THE LEFT LANE SINCE THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ROOM ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE CALLED THE STATE POLICE AND THEY GOT TO THE SCENE APPROX 15 MINUTES LATER. THE ACURA LINK SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. WE COULD H…

The fuel pump was replaced in July 2020 due to a safety recall. That new pump failed on October 2021. No fuel pump fails so quickly unless the pump has same situation. Dealer replaced pump but charged me for part and labor of their own bad job form July 2020. I was lucky that it failed while I was moving at a slow speed in a safe place

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.

I KNOW BY NOW THE PUBLIC MAY REALIZE ALL THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THE 2019 RDX MODEL. I PURCHASED ONE THREE MONTHS AGO. WHILE THERE ARE A HOST OF IMPORTANT ISSUES/PROBLEMS I HAVE SEEN WITH THE VEHICLE, ALL 'APPEAR' TO BE SOFTWARE RELATED, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN WITH ONE SPECIFIC ISSUE. THE THROTTLE IS DELAYED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STANDSTILL UP TO 10 MPH, BUT CAN ALSO HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS APPEARS TO BE DEPENDENT ON THE RPM. THIS OCCURS IN COMFORT AND SPORT MODES. THE DELAY IS ONE TO TWO SECONDS. THIS DELAY IS CRITIC…

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM HAS MULTIPLE GLITCHES CAUSING MANY OF THE FEATURES, RADIO, GPS OPERATION, DRIVE MODE CHANGES, SOUND, CLOCK FREEZING, KNOBS AND DIALS NOT WORKING. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP AND WENT IN SEVERAL TIMES. THEY SAID THERE WERE UPDATES WHICH THEY TRIED TO INSTALL AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T RESPOND TO ANY UPDATES PROVIDED BY ACURA. CALLED ACURA, GOT A CASE NUMBER, AND WAS VIRTUALLY TOLD THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THESE PROBLEMS . THESE 2019 CARS HAVE BEEN OUT SINCE MAY OF 2018 AND THEY ARE STILL MANUFACTURING CARS AND PUTTING THEM OUT TO T…
