general problems of the 2018 Acura TLX - part 2

Engine fails to start after idle stop, when the idle-stop off button is not engaged, and the battery doesn't have enough power to re-start the vehicle. Essentially, the engine tries to start up at a traffic light/intersection but fails, causing the car to turn off and shift to neutral without warning. I then have to realize what is happening, shift the car from neutral to park, and hit the start button to be able to re-start the car. There is no warning from the car that the battery is going to be unable to keep the car running, so the stall is 100% unexpected. This is unsafe, as the re-start procedure is not intuitive, takes time, and causes cars behind you to start honking. It could very easily cause a crash. Either Acura needs to fix this issue with a battery warning, or provide the option of turning the auto-idle stop off button on permanently (which some members of our government wouldn't like, but would fix the problem and keep someone from being seriously injured). .

The engine has been making rattling noises when you start the vehicle from a long rest, mostly over night, since it has about 24k miles on it, when I purchased it used. I noticed it some time after I purchased it. Took it to Honda dealer in hickory, nc, but they couldn't hear it. Later also took it to Acura dealer in charlotte, nc. They couldn't hear it either. I recorded the sound and played it back to them.

The contact owns a 2018 Acura Tlx. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled approximately ten times. The vehicle inadvertently shifted into neutral. The vehicle was restarted after five minutes. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 47,700.

When driving as gear changes while hitting the gas ,my car jults as if gas I ran out of gas and hard enough to make me feel like im getting wiplash and dose it around 25mph and 55-60 mph and rpm wil jump and go back to normal.

The contact owns a 2018 Acura Tlx. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v751000 (engine and engine cooling). The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds and while the vehicle was idling, there was a valve tap coming from the engine compartment, and the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that a rod had pushed through the wall of the engine, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred three years later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

For the past two days I see the check engine indicator pop up along with two errors. "electric parking brake problem" and "emissions system problem" this happend after driving and parking the car. The next day I turned the car on and saw the errors. Not sure what cpuld be the cause of this. I recently purchased this unit. Had it since July 2017 with only 3228miles. Please advise. Thank you.
