At the end of my rope with my RDX

Well hate to say it but the second RDX is gone. All was well with the replacement until I hit 8k miles. One by one the previous problems started to reappear. Didn’t break down this time but lost acceleration on the highway. Once again took it back to the dealer. Had the car for a week before telling me that they were gonna replace the intercooler because that caused my previous breakdown and lack of acceleration. I had my doubts but they fixed it. When I picked it up, the service advisor was trying to convince me the intercooler would solve the problem. He even said they were gonna try the fix on other cars they had in service. Spoke to my sales guy who has been there awhile and same thing happened to his family member. Car went into limp mode and was almost rear ended. He dumped the car and suggested I do the same for the second time. He was very familiar with the issue and said Acura didn’t have a clue as to what was going on. Anyway, drove home and thought about options. I thought maybe I would just see how things went but checked out some options. When leaving the first dealer, started the car and the entire computer system wouldn’t do anything. Restarted the car 5 times before I was able to leave. Right then and there I decided it had to go. It really is a shame because it was a fun car to drive and had a great sound system.
I have been fortunate recently with my 2019 tech awd. I had a ton of minor problems initially but now things have settled down and aside from rattles which I'm trying not to be bothered by, the car seems to be doing ok. Yesterday for kicks while passing by the Tesla dealership, I decided to stop in and try the Model Y's seats. I was very pleasantly surprised by their comfort. They seem to be a lot better than the RDX's seats.

2021 RDX tech sh-awd stalls intermittently
1148 miles on my 2021 RDX and it intermittently stalls when I slowly accelerate from a stop. This has happened maybe 30 times. It doesn’t go into limp mode and recovers in less than a second. It’s different than just letting off the gas. It’s as if the engine shuts off then quickly recovers.
I have not contacted the dealer yet. Doing my research and hoping to find that Acura has a solution.

I haven't had the Auto Stop/Start engage in God knows how long (first thing I do is turn it off), but doesn't it give you a notification in the CID that Auto Stop/Start is engaged when it cuts the engine?
