Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 ACURA 3.2TL. RECENTLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN ENTIRELY WHILE DRIVING LOCAL STREET, AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN, AROUND IGNITION AREA. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2002 FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT EXACTLY MATCHED THIS DANGEROUS SYMPTOM. APPARENTLY THE SWITCH EVEN AFTER THE RECALL FIX, WILL STILL FAIL WITHIN 6-7 YEARS. THIS HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE WAS COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, STATING THAT THE RECALL ENDED WHEN VEHICLE HAS ABOVE 80,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR
