| Seat Belt problems |
This will be the 12th time where my car comes to a sudden and violent stop for no apparent reason - due to the collision mitigation breaking system activating with no cars in front of me. The last time this happened, a few weeks ago, there was someone behind me and it was a very close call. There was also a passenger who didn't know what hit him. I have brought the car in for service only to be told everything was fine. I attempted to bring it in for service again and I was given the run around that they had no availability for weeks. I have email correspondence with Acura customer care and anyone involved in the purchase of this vehicle, including two separate dealerships and I have received a generic response with no solution offered. This is a dangerous system that is clearly not tested appropriately and I will be keeping it turned off just as long as I can remember to do so. These incidents vary - most times it occurred on a local street. It happened twice on an interstate highway as I was entering going about 45mph. All times this has happened I was traveling over approx 35mph.
The rear seat anchors to install a child safety seat are not accessible in the 2018 Acura Tlx. You cannot transport a small child under 2 in the car. Reported to Acura 12/14/2017. Note: the hooks are too far under the seat and cant be reached!!!!.
