My families safety has been put at risk due to the lack of response from Acura/Honda regarding a recall that may cause the engine in our car to seize up due to a manufacturing defect. I have gotten no response from the Acura dealer other than to say that I can pay for the inspection and be reimbursed if there is a problem. But if there is no problem, I will be out the cost of it. I paid 40,000.00 for a car that has 7500 miles on it and I am afraid to let my wife or son drive it. If I don't get some sort of response soon, I will just file a lemon law claim as the car is useless until it's inspected, and no, i'm not going to pay for that.
My shift gear box letter starts peeling off for Drive and Park. I am afraid down the road it will create a hazard for me.
I recently changed the car battery and now notice that occasionally my car rattles a little then automatically shifts to neutral while at a red light, drive thru etc. Additionally, occasionally when parked with engine still running, my rattles a little and car shuts off. When this happens it displays the battery and oil light. I start it back up with no problem. I’ve taken it to the dealership and I’m told nothing is wrong with the car. This makes me feel unsafe while driving.
Stopped at red light and car would not restart after the auto idle turn off function had engaged. All lights on dash flashed and car kept going into neutral. Car would not restart for nearly 10 minutes and I was left stranded in an incredibly busy intersection with cars flying around me honking and yelling. I could have been killed as well as the man who stopped to help me. Incredibly angry to call my local Acura dealership and find out that this is a KNOWN problem. Makes me sick to think how many lives are in danger and no actual recall has been done to my knowledge.
Vehicle failed MD emissions inspection 3 times in a row because OBD computer could not communicate.
