When the car running on normal speed and press brake for slowing the car try to jump and the RPM freaks out

- Bronx, NY, USA

The vehicle unexpectantly shifted out of drive to neutral while going up an inclined road at about 45 mph. The background of the neutral gear "N" indicator was yellow. Engine power was lost for approximately 5 seconds and then recovered when the transmission shifted back to drive without any intervention. I don't recall seeing any kind of error message when this occurred, but it is possible it could have been missed while I was frantically trying to figure out what was happening. After researching this issue on the internet, I discovered that there was a safety recall (16V640000) for a similar consequence which only applies to select vins. My particular VIN is not part of the safety recall. The performance of the transmission has always been worrisome. I am the original owner. The transmission rarely shifts smoothly going from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gears even after multiple attempts to get this corrected at my auto dealership. It is still not satisfactory, and this latest episode just adds to my consternation. Acura has provided an extended warranty for transmission failure if it is related to the atf warmer. I expressed the issue and my concerns with Acura. The case number is not officially open until the issue is diagnosed by an Acura dealership.

When accelerating the car trips into neutral and will not let me continue accelerating. I can push the pedal all the way to the floor and nothing will happen. The only way it trips out of neutral is to release the pedal and then push it again. This happens when already driving around 10-30mph not from a stopped position and was on city streets. It does also happen when turning.

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. I was relieved until after about 5 minutes of driving and then every light illuminated on the dash and the car wasn't accelerating as it should have been. The RPM's were going up but car was barely moving. I made it home but now sick to my stomach because I have no idea what this could be. Not sure if it needs to be towed to a shop or if I can or should drive it if possible.

This vehicle is so unsafe. I had lots of different situations happen and when I take it to the dealership they check it and say it's fine ! the vehicle stalls and hesitates and I get sensors going off constantly including the brake sensor when there is nothing in front of me for it to go off. I've had the vehicle go in park by itself while on a light. The vehicle doesn't start and always needs a jump I got the battery checked multiple times and the dealership told me my battery is good and I have to charge it. I believe there is an electrical issue with this vehicle. My vehicle only has 30,000 miles I have all my maintenance done at the dealership on time I purchased this vehicle thinking it's reliable being I'm a mother of two kids!

While driving straight or turning left or right, occasionally the car will fail to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed. The engine appears to go to an idle speed for 1-2 seconds and then the car accelerates. This has been brought to the attention of the local dealer multiple times but they (and Acura) are unable or unwilling to fix this problem. I have sent them video of the tachometer dropping to ~900rpm when this happens. They state there are no error codes or information that indicates anything is wrong. This seems to match safety problems 11121786, 10775339, 10695446, and 10694812. Another problem the vehicle has is a shudder in the transmission at certain speeds. Shifting to a different gear makes the shudder go away. Dealer states this is just how the transmission works. Transmission was replaced around 51K miles. Old transmission did not have this problem. Dealer said a fluid change might help. It did not.

At 70 mph the vehicle lost power, all warning lights came on, I had to maneuver thru traffic and drift to the shoulder, the transmission was locked up and could not be shifted from park to any gear, the accelerator would not work. The car had to be towed.the dealership said the vehicle computer had to be re-flashed/programmed. This condition could have caused an accident for an inexperienced driver.there are no fault codes indicated as to why or what caused this issue. I did find through research that a wiring harness is causing these conditions in the make, model and year vehicle. Also the transmission is related to this problem.

Transmission is really rough when shifting to gears 1,2, and 3. it is getting worse the more I drive. Also, very slow and rough shift from park to drive. When I am driving uphill from a full stop, I hear a loud thud and feel a hard jerk when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd to 3rd. When I am driving downhill and approaching a stop, it dangerously accelerates the car forward after shifting down to 3rd, 2nd, and 1st gear. It is also very abrupt and jerky during those shifts down.
