The design defect on this Acura is that the vehicle suffers from "sudden acceleration," after depressing the accelerator the vehicle continues to accelerate for various seconds. The same issue happens when the vehicle slows down after pressing the brake when arriving to an intersection, after releasing the brake when getting ready to stop the vehicle will continue to accelerate, causing a tremendous hazard and risk of death for an accident to people in other vehicles, pedestrians, and occupants of the vehicle itself. I took the vehicle for repair at your Acura dealership in mission viejo, California (see enclosed back up documents), and the service specialist from Acura recommended me to pay for additional services over and beyond my still existing warranty (warranty is valid until 03/2020), like a software update and an transmission flush, stating it would repair the condition. Well, the condition was never fix and the risk of accident still remained. I took the vehicle on a second occasion to the same dealership, and this time, since they have already taken my money on the previous service, declined to do any more repairs arguing that condition (sudden acceleration) is not considered hazardous by Acura USA, and that it happens to other Acura vehicle with this type of transmission, and therefore they wouldn't do anything to fix it. On this second time I recorded the conversations with the service consultants and with the service manager, in case I had to escalate this issue further like I'm doing now or take further legal actions in this regard. I also had multiple phone conversation with the Acura client relationships, stating my issue and your representatives didn't offer any help, they only indicated I'd have to deal with dealership directly, even though he's a representative of the name, Acura USA.
