I HIT THE GAS PADDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND IT DIDN'T WORK. AS I FELT A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER, I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK, AND THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT POPPED UP. I HAD MY INSURANCE TOWED MY CAR TO OAKLAND ACURA, AS I DID AN OIL CHANGE THERE ON 7/19/2017. AFTER AN INSPECTION, OAKLAND ACURA INDICATED THAT THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE DOES NOT OPEN AND CLOSE NORMALLY. A VALUE ADJUSTMENT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I FELT THAT IT'S PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ALL THE VALVES TO BE MALFUNCTION ALL AT ONCE. THUS, I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN ARE ALL THE VALVES MALFUNCTIONING, THE TECHNICIAN SAID SHOULD BE. I THEN ASKED WHETHER SUCH A PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY AN IMPROPER OIL CHANGE SINCE THEY DID MY OIL CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE, AND I ONLY DROVE 25 MILES AFTER THE OLI CHANGE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID, "I DON'T THINK SO". I FURTHER ASKED WHETHER IT'S AN ENGINE DESIGN PROBLEM THAT IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL,…”

“AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY, DEALER COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH ONLY TEMPORARILY MADE THE SITUATION BETTER. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THAT CAN BE DONE. SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IS ROUGH AT TIMES AND TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS MAKING IT FEEL LIKE A DRAG ON THE ENGINE. TRANSMISSION IS ABRUPT AT TIMES.”
