The vehicle was involved in fatality which was my brother, they cannot explain why the vehicle entered into a skid on a pretty straight part of the highway not sure if it was a powertrain issue as I did see a recall after I did some research following the accident. The other issue is the mechanism on how the driver safety belt attaches to the frame as that was damaged on first impact which caused my brother to be ejected. Something as important as a safety should not be compromised so easily.

The car goes into neutral while driving almost been in a accident several times over this issue . I don't even drive it anymore.

This car has had multiple issues with the srs system, which has rendered it inoperable. Apparently, there are design issues with the seat buckle and seat sensor that have been there all along. There are multiple owner complaints here and on the internet about this. This apparently makes the entire srs system inoperable, including the driver airbag. This along with the well documented transmission issues make this a "rolling coffin"-- I am not sure why Honda is not concerned about the safety of its owners. I guess it would take major injuries and lawsuits and publicity to get some action.

Contacted duncan Acura in roanoke ,va. Transmission drops speed from 70mph to 10 mph without warning on highway. Was told transmission was repaired when recall came out but car had too many miles on it now 223,000. The service manager at duncan would not return my calls or schedule to get transmission inspected after I understood that I would need to pay for the inspection. Contacted Acura headquarters and they issued a Claim & Claim rep to help out. Never will trust duncan Acura with a safety issue. Just wanted to know if this issue was the same as the earlier recall was for on these cars. Not safe to drive and Acura dealer would not take the time to inspect it. Still waiting on response from Acura been 4 days.

Transmission lockup at highway speeds. Vehicle would drop speed from 70 mps to 10 mps without warning in a matter of seconds almost causing loss of control & crash with cars following on highway. As described in Acura service bulletin 04-020. Car was fitted with repair part but did not prevent it from occurring again over time & miles from driving.

I was driving the car the highway at 55 miles/hour and suddenly the transmission of the car stop for 2 minutes. If another vehicle was following Closer to mine, the collision will be inevitable. Then, the car started moving as normal again. Thereafter, the problem resurfaced while I was still on the highway. Finally, I took the Closest exit to return home. I still have low mileage on the car and believe also Acura should be able to fix this problem. On July 8, I check with my mechanic who told me it's a transmission problem, that Acura should have placed my model on their recall. Can you please help with this matter? updated 5/8/2015.

Transmission would not shift into reverse or into drive on mutiple ocassions. Transmission would not decelerate.

The car had a transmission recall about 6 years ago. Since I am not the original owner, I did some research to determine if the transmission had been replaced in my vehicle. I called Acura and they informed me that the transmission in my vehicle had been fixed. About a year later, my car was starting to experience shifting problems from 2nd to 3rd gear. Since the car has fairly low mileage (79,201) I thought this was a little bit odd. Now that I think of it, it still appears that the original transmission had not been corrected (as these things should last 100k+ miles). I'm logging this complaint to see if any owners are experiencing the same problem.
