2019 Acura RDX electrical system problems

The engine shut down in the middle of an intersection in traffic, while in motion. The car refused to start up again, indicating a transmission failure. The car also refused to shut down, and the electronics are confused. This is the third incident that I had with this vehicle.

The 2019 acura rdx, has a known defect in their infotainment center, which causes (among other things), the phone connection with apple carplay, to "drop". Under some circumstances, this might not be a huge problem or safety issue, but many "on the road" people, depend on this phone capability and conduct important business on the phone. While driving and talking on the phone, the phone suddenly disconnects, to the extent that the person on the other end of the phone, can't hear the person in the vehicle.
