I started the vehicle and steering wheel was frozen and eps, brake, and lane departure lights on the dash. I shut the car off and let it sit for five minutes. Restarted and the steering wheel came back to normal. But all light remained on. I drove the car about half a mile and the lights went off. When I got home, I shut the car off and started it again. The wheel was frozen again, and all the lights came back on. I shut the car off and re-started and steering came back on. I'm afraid this will happen again but while I'm driving. I looked up the issue but no recall but a lot of complaints with same problem. I cannot drive like this for it can be dangerous if I'm driving and lose control of the vehicle and hurt someone or myself. I took the car to a mechanic, but he said there is no current issues just stored codes. Today I had the same problem.
While driving on the freeway with my children, the vehicle started to shake and the emission system problem, transmission system problem and blind spot problem lights came on. The safety of myself and children were at risk due to being on the freeway and having to pull over on the side of the road. There were zero signs leading to this.
While driving on a local road (not highway), engine began to make a very loud sound. Sounds like metal on metal inside engine. Called local Acura dealer and they said that the connecting rod recall/problem that was announced in November 2023 "does not apply to my VIN".
Cruise control stopped working 5 years ago after acc lkas stopped working. I have had the car into multiple Acura certified dealerships attempting to repair and no one has been able to determine the issue.
