Front sensor warning repeatedly goes off when stopped whenever it rains. It will continue to alert when going from a full stop to moving for several seconds and stop. It will restart the alert once the car comes to a full stop again. This repeated erroneous sensor alert serves as a major safety issue as it serves as a constant and dangerous distraction to the driver. Each time the alert goes off it drives your eyes off the road and onto the alert on the dashboard creating the potential for involvement in accidents. This issue was noticed on delivery of the new leased vehicle. At that time it was the left front sensor which had the same issue. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer 3 separate times where the left front sensor was readjusted then on the next visit replaced. Problem continued, on the third visit the entire front end of the car was removed and done which resolved the left front sensor but resulted in the continuous front center sensor alerting. Valley stream Acura has failed to address this as a safety issue and has offered no resolution to the problem.

Acura Tlx, 2019, fuel system failed, shifted gears on its own and I had to immediately die to safety concerns. This issue first appears in September 2019, with 5K miles. Ok November 10,2019, Tlx display boards for (navigation and temperature adjustments, use of phone and radio would cycle down on it own. This happened repeatedly while the car is in drive or park. It causes a huge distraction while driving or going into reverse because you cannot utilize your back-up camera, adjust the temperature and cause a major distraction while driving. I've reported the issue to Acura advised me on what steps I should take to self diagnose this. This automobile is not safe to drive. The dealership has provided little to no updates on what exactly is wrong and the automobile has been in their possession for over a week.
