Description of the problem	At approximately 10a oct 14th 2020 traveling south bound route 15 in lycoming county pa weather conditions light rain 65deg f driving 2020 acura rdx with 2800 miles on odometer. Upon approach of truck traffic in right lane moved into line of faster moving traffic in left lane to pass trucks when the acura rdx immediately lost power and speed, almost caused a chain of rear end collisions and the vehicle flashed the engine light on the display and would not maintain more than 25 mph in a 70 mph zone. Left the roadway shut the vehicle off and restarted in approximately three mins and vehicle function was normal for the remaining 40 miles of the trip. Oct 16 2020 contacted honda motors usa customer service and was told to contact dealer (150 miles away) for diagnosing. Upon some quick research discovered this is a common complaint for many 2019/2020 acura rdx owners. This is an obvious safety issue that acura is aware of and is not addressing. Currently there is no recall and not one owner has had any resolution to date. I request the nhtsa intervene immediately to engage acura in resolving this critical vehicle design flaw. This is a deadly issue. Thank you.
