Adaptive Cruise Control problem #1

The vehicles adaptive cruise control is unreliable. Guidance system goes haywire and cannot stay on track to destination. Carplay becomes inoperable. Have had tameron eastern shore Honda who sold car to me check problem on multiple occasions and they cannot find problem.

Warnings problem #2

I had minor accident on [xxx] in my 2018 Acura Rdx. The front crash sensor was damaged, so the car cannot be returned to me without a new one because the air bags and other safety equipment will not deploy in front crash. The repair shop ordered the part (no. 77930-tx4-a11) from Acura on 5/28, along with other parts needed. Acura's delivery date for this part has changed from 6/24, to 7/2, to 7/11, and 7/18. However, my Acura dealer indicates they've had this part on order since April, and Acura has provided no estimated delivery date. I filed a claim directly with Acura a week ago (case no. Xxxx), demanding that they provide me with a comparable vehicle until they can provide this part, and no one has even returned my calls. American Honda is in violation of federal law, which requires companies that sell automobiles in the us to provide parts for them for 10 years from the date of manufacture, and to compensate consumers for failure to do so. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Automatic Emergency Braking problem #3

Automatic emergency braking would not release…this occurred in the rain…it caused the vehicle to hydroplane, spin out, and hit a barricade.
