RDX

  • miles
I was driving at 65 MPH on the highway in the left lane during a rainstorm. Suddenly the engine shuttered and began to shut down. I could not accelerate the engine. The engine light came on and was flashing. I was fortunate enough to maneuver through traffic to the shoulder of the road - sitting there where other drivers would not be expecting to see a car. I turned the car off and sat there in a rainstorm for 15 minutes hoping not to get hit. I started the car and it seemed to work fine for the remained of the trip with no issues or engine light flashing. Very dangerous situation for me - I shutter to think what might have happened if my wife was driving with the kids and this happened. She would make me sell the car today.

The electrical system and related systems sporadically fail to operate and in some cases attempt to take over control of the vehicle making it extremely unsafe while driving. When the dealership (spitzer) was alerted they shown no interest in even looking at the vehicle. The problems persist on a daily basis.
