Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Unintended acceleration - while coasting, the vehicle accelerates on its own up to 30mph. This has occurred while approaching traffic lights, stop signs, parking lots, crosswalks and parking in the garage. This has happened on several occasions with two different drivers and even the dealer has experienced the same symptoms. The vehicle also stalls while stopped in the roadway to turn. Acura sent a regional service director to test the vehicle and my driving skills and states that since there are no trouble codes from the computer, all systems are operating as designed. …”
