Frozen brakes when staring the car, the first pump on the brake works as expected. Then the next 3-5 pumps, the peddle does not go down and has thus the car does not stop. This usually happens when I go to work in the morning. But, it has happened during the afternoon. But most morning, I can guarantee it will happen. It's usually on cold mornings (teens and below) but I'm seeing it now in 30degree weather. I took it to the Acura dealership (Acura of troy, mi) and the service manager [xxx] didn't look into it at all. He said they performed the standard 'Acura check' and there were no issues. I provide greg with details on the issues as well as printouts from others who have reported the same issue. All he did was smile and said they did the Acura safefty check and it passed.

I bought a brand new 2014 Acura tsx may 27 2014 from concord Acura dealership. Since 2014-2019 my car has been stalling to start. I've brought it in multiple times for the same issue, they would send me home and said nothing was wrong with my car. On jan 2017, after bringing my car in for the 8th time, they finally told me that my car was purchased with a bad battery from the manufacturer warehouse, that was why my car wouldn't start for 2 years.
