Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Was driving my vehicle which I just purchased on may 26th 2012, and my car began to have shifting problems in 2nd and third gear racing rpms and would not stay engaged in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gear and violently downshifted into second gear at freeway speeds causing me even restrained by the seat beat to fly into the steering wheel and windsheild bumping my head and hurting my back due to whip lash. This occurrence happened several times. Then the d5 would start flashing and check engine light became lite. …”
NHTSA complaint #10461251, filed 2012-06, 121,000 miles“Takata recall and electrical system: air bag deployed right side of car electrical system malfunctioning right side before the crash. Because of deployment of right side air bag it caused the driver side air bag to be deployed. Car was exiting highway ramp when airbag deployed. Documented ins estimate avail.”
NHTSA complaint #10957500, filed 2017-02, 123,000 miles“Gear/transmission lock up while driving. Vehicle stalled and could not switch gear back to drive. Vehicle failed emissions twice but was passed 3rd time without exemption or waiver. This vehicle has been discontinued due to the on going unfixable issues, why wasn't it blacklisted or label a category a car? These Acura's are dangerous and shouldn't even be allowed on the road! Nhtsa doesn't even specify if the vehicle was fixed after the recalls- obviously they weren't because the car was poorly made and is unfixable. We need justice”
