Owner complaint summary

This vehicle comes with Idle engine feature. when the brake pedal is pressed, the engine turns off (supposedly to save gas). The car should proceed when the gas pedal is pressed. So at any time, in any location, after the car is stopped at a stop sign or red light, the car does not always turn back on. I just sit in the vehicle, unable to proceed. I then have to restart the car in order to drive forward again. This is extremely unsafe, as I could be stalled in an unsafe location. this vehicle had a recall due to this faulty issue, and the sensor was replaced by the Acura dealer, however the problem remains. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle. Apparently many Acura owners have the same problem. This problem could result in death. It is extremely unsafe to have a car stall.

This is an owner complaint filed with NHTSA (ODI #11527621). It is not automatically an official recall, investigation outcome, or manufacturer admission unless the complaint text itself describes one.
