Description of the problem | This will be the 12th time where my car comes to a sudden and violent stop for no apparent reason - due to the collision mitigation breaking system activating with no cars in front of me. The last time this happened, a few weeks ago, there was someone behind me and it was a very close call. There was also a passenger who didn't know what hit him. I have brought the car in for service only to be told everything was fine. I attempted to bring it in for service again and i was given the run around that they had no availability for weeks. I have email correspondence with acura customer care and anyone involved in the purchase of this vehicle, including two separate dealerships and i have received a generic response with no solution offered. This is a dangerous system that is clearly not tested appropriately and i will be keeping it turned off just as long as i can remember to do so. These incidents vary - most times it occurred on a local street. It happened twice on an interstate highway as i was entering going about 45mph. All times this has happened i was traveling over approx 35mph |
