Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)CAR STALLS WHEN I AM AT A RED LIGHT OR A STOP. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN AWHILE, NOT WHEN IT FIRST STARTS. AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR FAILS TO START WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL STALL, THEN WHEN I TRY TO START IT BY PUSHING THE START BUTTON, IT TAKES MORE THAN 1 TRY FOR IT TO START. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN 2 HOURS A WEEK AGO; EACH TIME AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, AND NEVER WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD.
THE VEHICLE IS STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY ON HOT DAYS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND VARIOUS UNKNOWN INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRESNO ACURA (7250 N PALM AVE, FRESNO, CA 93711, (559) 431-3400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE INDICATORS CAME ON WHICH WERE THE VSA, POWER STEERING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM CAME ONE. ONCE THESE INDICATORS CAME ON THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND WOULDN'T GO PAST 2 RPM AND HAD LACK OF POWER. SO WE HAD TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. COUPLE OF CARS WERE BEHIND US AS WELL AND WE COULD HAVE CRASHED. WE TOOK ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE WE TOOK IT IN TO FRESNO ACURA AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT'S BROKEN.
