From a stopped position, moving forward my vehicle hesitated and decreased in power and the gas pedal did not help moving the vehicle forward. this happened in the middle of the intersection for several seconds 10-15 before the vehicle started moving forward again. from a moving position, i was going around a right-hand slight curve going approximately 45-50 mhp and the vehicle failed to keep power, speed decreased, and then began working again after several scary seconds. the main problem i have is when accelerating, the fuel seems like it is not processed correctly to allow my vehicle to accelerate. this is a dangerous mechanical issue that has happened more than ten times. i have contacted the dealership but they said my vin was not in the listing of recalls. i am clearly having the same problems as many other acura tlx owners. additionally, when i push the start button it did not start the vehicle. this has happened 3 times as of nov 2019. my vehicle should be listed with the recalled listing of other 2016 tlx acura vehicles.

This vehicle has had repeated battery failures. i had to have a battery replaced in this car less than a year ago and yesterday, the new battery died again. i was at the gas station getting gas and when i tried to start the vehicle, all of the lights started flickering with a loud repetitive clicking sound and the vehicle would not start. i had to call acura roadside assistance who sent out a aaa tow driver. the tow driver said that he has had about 80 calls for this type of vehicle just this year alone and all of them have had battery issues. acura should issue a recall for these defective batteries. i have the vehicle at an acura dealer for the 2nd time in a year to have the battery replaced. the vehicle is still fairly new with only 46,000 miles.

Vehicle does not start. total electric failure. not a battery problem per dealer. still at dealership.
