Example complaints

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

“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. …”

“While driving I noticed that my car didn't seem to shift correctly. I pulled over and accelerated again. Got to my destination and noticed the car wasn't moving harldy as I pulled up to park. Once I parked, I put it in reverse to pull up again and it was making a loud noise and jerking when I put it in reverse. I did this like 3 times to try and figure out what was going on. After about 4 hours I went to leave my destination and it shifted into reverse just fine. …”

NHTSA complaint #11377409, filed 2020-12, 134,400 miles

“New car purchased in 2015. Currently has about 23k miles. Error lights flash on dash including transmission system problems, blind spot info system problems, vehicle stability assist problem, all wheel steering problem, forward collision warning problem, lane departure waring problem . This is the third time that it has happened. First time, no video evidence of it but we did take it in to Acura to look. No issue found. Second time we had a video, they did a software upgrade. Now again. …”

NHTSA complaint #10967211, filed 2017-03, 23,000 miles

“I leased my Acura TLX v6 advanced 2 wheel drive starting in september 2014. Right away, within the first week I started noticing performance issues. This vehicle has an extremely hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gear, causing the car to lurch forward unexpectedly. It is particularly noticeable in sport mode. It happens more consistently in stop and go traffic, which coincides with a situation that allows for less reaction time. It also has serious acceleration hesitation throughout all speeds. …”

NHTSA complaint #10695446, filed 2015-03, 1,000 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. …”
