Engine does not start and all the warning lights come up on dashboard. After a few seconds, each of the system comes up as failed. Dashboard shows as acc failed, lane warning failed, emission failed, engine check failed. This is a second failure in last 45 days. First failed on Nov 20 and car was in service till Dec 21. Again the engine failed on Jan 02, not allowing to start at all.
The vehicle starts shaking, feeling like I am running over metal bumps in the road. I believe that the torque converter is the problem and that all of the larger Honda/Acura vehicles have a defective torque converter. It needs to be recalled before engine failure occurs and injuries/death are imminent.
