Consumer Description

HI, I WOULD LIKE TO OFFICIALLY FILE A COMPLAIN AGAINST ACURA. I HAVE 1999 ACURA 3.2TL, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR EVEN ON IDLE. IT'S A INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND I NOTICED THAT IT CAN HAPPY ANYWHERE OR ANYTIME WHICH CAN RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON WEB AND FOUND OUT THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM IN ACURA AND HONDA AND POINT TO RECALL FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER DAVID MCDAVID OF AUSTIN IS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED IN MY CAR. THEY'RE CLUELESS WHY I'M HAVING THIS ISSUE AND OFFER NO HELP TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE ISSUE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN FOR NO COST TO ME BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO IT. I NEED HELP FOR NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH ACURA. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND TIME YESTERDAY EVENING, WHILE I WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I SEE A SMOKE CAME OUT FROM DASH BOARD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER FEW TRIES. *TR
