Complaint Timeline
Chronological view of owner reports
2 1/2 years before the current connecting rod bearing recall, my engine failed due to the connecting rod bearing at 53,000 miles. After fighting with Acura for almost a year, they agreed to replace the motor. However, when I picked it up, they had only rebuilt the motor. Now that motor's rod has failed at 68,000 miles and they refuse to replace the motor. They say it doesn't have anything to do with the connecting rod bearing but it is knocking with a thrown rod.
Car shuts down randomly when accelerating from a stop or red light . All the mechanical lights come up on the dash.
Engine is having an issue causing noises and symptoms of rod knocking which I suspect is the connecting rod bearing failing.
Vehicle will suddenly shift into neutral while driving and won’t shift into drive until the vehicle is turned off and restarted
