Example complaints

“The onboard system crashed while I was driving. All the warnings on the dash went off. The car automatically went into park. When I placed the car into drive mode the parking brake would not disengage. I turned off and on my car the issues persisted. After I turned off and on my car a third time the car allowed me to drive it.”

NHTSA complaint #11091680, filed 2018-05, 30 miles

“There have been a couple of incidents where I will be driving and my car suddenly jolts and coasts to a stop. It seems as though the car is being placed in neutral while I am driving because when I press on the gas. It will just rev the engine. The check engine light will turn on as well. I typically turn off and on the car and the car will then work just fine. These incidents seem to happen when I am driving on a city street.”

NHTSA complaint #11400022, filed 2021-03, 20,000 miles

“After a traffic light stop, I accelerated and the car lost acceleration, then the check engine turned on. I pulled over and had no response from the accelerator. Check engine was flashing. I turned off the car then turned it back on, and problem was gone acceleration came back. I merge into my lane again and not even 100 ft when my dash lights came on, like a christmas tree. Every light in my dash was lit. The following are some of the lights that were on. …”

NHTSA complaint #11406102, filed 2021-04, 179,000 miles

“Several times, all of the lights would flash on the car to check all of the systems and then the car would shut off while I was mid drive mostly while in a residential neighborhood but sometimes on a major parkway. After about an hour the car would start back up. I would not be able to start the car or change gear while it was shut off. I had the battery and alternator checked and that was not the problem. I took it to the repair shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I researched online and saw several 2015 acuras were recalled with this issue but not my VIN number. …”

NHTSA complaint #11373196, filed 2020-11, 55,000 miles

“The car nearly stalls, rolled back 3-4 feet prior to restarting after the idle stop had in- gauged. The transmission shifts from 1-4 like someone who never drove with a clutch, even though it is an automatic. It hesitates and nearly stalls when doing slow maneuvering in and around parking lots and slow traffic. I have nearly had accidents due to the hesitation in traffic. When using cruise control out on the expressway, the car will not maintain its set speed on a downhill grade, it gets jerky and increases speed as much as 10-12 MPH unless I ride the brake. …”
