| Hood Latch problems |
On June 1, 2021 at about 9 p. M. The hood popped up, then the truck latch, the speedometer was reading a different speed than the cruise control without any interference, and the bluetooth and entertainment center were not operating correctly, yet no codes or warning lights. On resuming travel on I-80 a semi started flashing his lights and veered out of the way so I slowed, and the parking brake engaged without my use of the parking brake as I was travelling at 80 mph, slowed to 45 with the semi. Struck a road marker and the wheels were locked up on the interstate and steam appeared along along the windshield and passenger window with some whining from transmission. I notified Acura (montreal) from alongside the interstate. Research revealed that this problem has been reported in many different types of Acura since 2015. There were many warning lamps that appeared after the lock-up with two messages "emission system problems" and "electric parking brake problem" with the mileage at 43k. When I tried to move the car individual wheels locked up, first driver rear, then front passenger, followed by front driver and rear passenger. There was smoke coming out from the wheels, and the front bumper has physical damage. Seeing this problem existed for years, and not the seriousness and intensity of the problem grew it is hard to understand how Acura and the NHTSA cannot issue a recall when this could have been a serious calamity on a major interstate causing loss of life, injury and serious interruption with interstate commerce. The vehicle was towed to Acura dealership in reno on June 2, 2021 and the dealership's service department has been very helpful.
