WHILE DRIVING ON THE BROOKLYN-QUEENS EXPRESSWAY (I 278 E)AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THE CAR STALLED NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, TRUCK AND TRACTOR TRAILERS CAME BARRELING DOWN TOWARDS MY STALLED VEHICLE AND ABRUPTLY CHANGING LANES TO AVOID CRASHING INTO MY CAR. I DIALED 911 AND THE NYPD HIGHWAY UNIT SENT A TOWTRUCK IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS (I WAS PETRIFIED WAITING FOR THE TOW) THE DEALER IDENTIFIED A THROTTLE FAILURE, REPLACED THE THROTTLE AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. *TR

ENGINE
MY BRAND NEW MDX HAS HAD ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE VEHICLE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS INCLUDES CHECK ENGINE WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING FAILURE, POWER STEERING ISSUE AND POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE DID THIS THE FIRST TIME WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE AND AT THAT TIME, WAS RESOLVED BY FIXING A LOOSE PLUG. THEN IT DID IT AGAIN WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE MINOR TRIM REPAIRS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2014. THE VEHICLE IS STILL WITH SERVICE AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY ARE IN TOUCH WITH ACURA'S TECH LINE ON THIS AND THEY HOPE IT WILL BE RESOLVED SOON. ADDITIONALLY, I COMPLETED FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS AND NOTED THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THEIR 2014 MDX VEHICLES. HERE IS AN ONLINE REFERENCE THAT I FOUND WHERE OWNERS HAVE POSTED COMMENTS ON THIS: HTTP://WWW.MDXERS.ORG/FORUMS/94-NEW-2014-ACURA-MDX/63666-2014-MDX-ISSUES.HTML. *TR
