2023 Acura TLX

Please see attached document, as my whole description would not fit in the box.

Well, since i purchased the 2023 acura tlx tech pckg, "it's a nightmare" everytime i drive it , i'm not enjoying it at all! i can't keep the car to go between the 2 lines! it just keeps going zigzag, i keep telling myself that maybe because "it's a brand new car" give it more time for adjustment...! but it's getting worse and worse to the point that when it's raining, i have to pray to get home safely!

My tlx tech 2023 lost complete power while i pulled up to a busy intersection on a dark and rainy day. as a puled to stop and my idle stop enabled the car was fine. once i tried to accelerate the car immediately went into park from drive. all of the controls started to blink and the car powered down like a computer system who was on 0%. i completely lost power, so that i could not even put my hazard lights on to indicate to the busy oncoming traffic that i was in danger. when the police arrived, he even tried to shift to neutral to help me roll out of the street, but the car was inoperable. i had to remain in the car due to the freezing rain and sleet. the emergency services called an emergency tow to get me out of the street and i was then towed to the nearest acura dealership to get it reviewed. the service department indicated that they had known about the idle start/stop issue, but not on my specific model. i had my car inspected just the day before at the same dealership and there were no issues that had come up. i am concerned that this is very dangerous and leaves me in a vulnerable state.
