Cruise Control Problems of Acura TLX

After a traffic light stop, I accelerated and the car lost acceleration, then the check engine turned on. I pulled over and had no response from the accelerator. Check engine was flashing. I turned off the car then turned it back on, and problem was gone acceleration came back. I merge into my lane again and not even 100 ft when my dash lights came on, like a christmas tree. Every light in my dash was lit. The following are some of the lights that were on. Power steering park check engine adaptable cruise control problem collision sign seatbelt traction control oil light abs collision light brake system problem acc lkas vehicle stability assist the issue appeared to be electrical since the mechanical parts of the car looked ok. I drove the car home at 55 mph since thats as fast as it will let me drive it. I stopped at a autozone to scan the obd computer and just a misfire on cylinder 2 code came up which is strange that a misfire would cause this problem. No other codes came out. Note: car had no check engine light on before this in 179,000 miles we have owned it. Went home disconnected the battery then hook it back on. Problem went away. It hasnot happened in 12 hrs. The issue is I dont trust the car anymore. If this would have happened in the freeway 10 at 80 mph with traffic, I would have cause a deadly crash. Then I looked on you tube and there is practically dozens of Acura owners with identical issues, some of them avoided crashes because of loss of power. Dealers cant find solutions, in the comments section all I read is people asking if someone found a solution. Seems like Honda should be doing something about it , to keep their costumers safe. Hope this letter gets to them and NHTSA do something about it, before it takes someone's life.

The car nearly stalls, rolled back 3-4 feet prior to restarting after the idle stop had in- gauged. The transmission shifts from 1-4 like someone who never drove with a clutch, even though it is an automatic. It hesitates and nearly stalls when doing slow maneuvering in and around parking lots and slow traffic. I have nearly had accidents due to the hesitation in traffic. When using cruise control out on the expressway, the car will not maintain its set speed on a downhill grade, it gets jerky and increases speed as much as 10-12 mph unless I ride the brake. I have had it back to the dealer twice now, the first time they did all the updates on the computer and fuel pump. . . Its just as bad if not worse. The car is not safe and should have a complete recall!!! the next questions ask for a specific time and date. . . This is ongoing and has been happening since I purchased the car in January.

The following problem has happened about 12 or so times. I didn¿t keep track until it was obviously an issue. I have recorded it on video about half dozen times and provided this to Acura. While driving with the adaptive cruise control set to a speed I touch the brake to disengage the cruise control. I then press the resume button to return to cruise control. The cruise control does not come back on, but the indicator on the dashboard flashes (as if it were coming back on) and stays off. I¿m unable to even set a new speed. Flipping the toggle to resume or set does the same thing, nothing. On every occasion the only way to restore the cruise control to work was to stop the car, shut it off, then restart the car (reboot). On one occasion, I had to do the reboot process three times to restore the ability to use the cruise control. The car has been to the dealer three times but they cannot duplicate the issue. In addition to several videos I took on two occasions I had passengers in the car who witnessed this. This has happened on interstate highways, state roads, and town roads. It has happened at speeds set from about 30 mph to 74 mph. It happens day or night, on cold and hot days. I don¿t recall that it has happened during rain.
