On june 1, 2021 at about 9 p.M. The hood popped up, then the truck latch, the speedometer was reading a different speed than the cruise control without any interference, and the bluetooth and entertainment center were not operating correctly, yet no codes or warning lights. On resuming travel on i-80 a semi started flashing his lights and veered out of the way so i slowed, and the parking brake engaged without my use of the parking brake as i was travelling at 80 mph, slowed to 45 with the semi. Struck a road marker and the wheels were locked up on the interstate and steam appeared along along the windshield and passenger window with some whining from transmission. I notified acura (montreal) from alongside the interstate. Research revealed that this problem has been reported in many different types of acura since 2015. There were many warning lamps that appeared after the lock-up with two messages "emission system problems" and "electric parking brake problem" with the mileage at 43k. When i tried to move the car individual wheels locked up, first driver rear, then front passenger, followed by front driver and rear passenger. There was smoke coming out from the wheels, and the front bumper has physical damage. Seeing this problem existed for years, and not the seriousness and intensity of the problem grew it is hard to understand how acura and the nhtsa cannot issue a recall when this could have been a serious calamity on a major interstate causing loss of life, injury and serious interruption with interstate commerce. The vehicle was towed to acura dealership in reno on june 2, 2021 and the dealership's service department has been very helpful.

I am concerned because the 2018 tlx acura i purchased is having stalling and starting issues . When i first purchased the car and it had fewer than 17,000 miles problems appeared with the lights coming on, parking break and emission issues. It had to be repaired 3 times. The recalled fuel system/fuel pump (recall # 19v060000) was replaced in feb. 2020, which i hoped fixed any mysterious stalling. The first time it stalled i was in a covid parade at work to support the community. It started up and i did not think about it again. That was in the spring of 2020. Again on thurs., july 8,2021 the battery light came on and the car stalled while i went to push the gas peddle to go at a light that turned green (it occurred twice in one day). Instead the car stalled. I went to restart, first it said stuck in gear, then it was fine. The dealer claims it is because the gear selector switch had crumbs and too much dirt in it. I find it strange that acura left such a vulnerable part exposed to elements with cup holders next to it and in a society that has a drive-thru for almost any food. Approximately one week before i got the same messages when pulling into a parking spot just before stopping. I restarted the car and it was fine. Also on may 24, 2021 my car, which had 71,657 miles had another issue with the green key light flashing and the car did not start. The dealer replaced the control unit for keyless entry. It first appeared when my brother couldn't start my car. He told me and i went to start the car and it was fine. He was not familiar with my car and i thought maybe he didn't hold the brake to start it. Not long after i went to leave for work in the morning and the car did not start at all. I saw the blinking key. My car was towed to the dealer and repaired it. I have never had a car with this type of repeated problem of stalling and not starting. It may be different parts, but are they band aids for something bigger?

The drivers seat lower trim facing the door breaks and causes a sharp broken area that could cut when entering or exiting the car, of if in an accident the driver could shift their body into this broken area. When the driver shift their weight latterly over a period of time within the seat the plastic trim breaks and exposes a u shaped metal support piece. I suspect this u shaped piece is used in the assembly installation of the seat and afterwards covered with the plastic trim. This defect has affected cars back to 2015, and acura is just replacing the plastic trim piece. One can google "driver seat plastic breaking apart" and see that are many cases. I would like to see acura manufacture a stronger plastic trim piece, or a taller one, or find a way to eliminate the exposed u shaped metal piece. Mine is a 2018 tlx with 27,000 miles.

When returning from a 40 mile trip to naples florida, the vehicle stability system displayed failure warning lights. When i made it back to my condo in cape coral, there was s total system failure locking out the transmission, inability to put the car in neutral, antilock brakes, etc. This could have been a major safety issue had i been on the highway .

On the morning of 1/7/2020, my cars' brake sensing system malfunctioned bringing my car to a grinding halt launching myself forward toward the steering wheel and the items in my passenger seat forward into the floorboard. This was on a city street approaching the intersection of a major highway. There was no car in front of me at the time this happened and thankfully, there were no cars within a close distance behind me. There had been a truck that was ~100+ yards in front of me that turned right into a gas station. This was nearing an intersection where i planned to turn right and i let my foot off the accelerator and was slowing down. After the truck was already parked at the gas pump w/the driver opening his door, this malfunction in my braking system occurred w/nothing in front of me. The goodson acura dealership i took my car to had several team members who have also experience this exact same problem when a vehicle in front of them had turned right. They explained i should 'think of it as a delayed response in the system'. They noted that acura is aware of this, but there is nothing that can be done. I informed them that i was not satisfied with that answer. A safety feature on my car is now a safety risk for me to potentially be rear-ended significantly since there was no car in front of me when it happened. They ran a complete check of the system today, 1/9/2020 and no errors were noted. They did adjust the setting from "normal" sensitivity on distance to be further out, but it should not have to be set outside of "normal" settings for proper handling. Acura is a luxury line vehicle with advanced technology safety features in place to protect drivers/passengers, not to potentially harm them. This is not an acceptable malfunction to happen for myself or my family. If this is truly known to acura as a concern and not being addressed, this is a problem.
