Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE AUTOMOBILE WILL RANDOMLY LOOSE ALL ELECTRICITY, IGNITION, AND POWER ITEMS - BRAKES - STEERING - AND ENGINE STALLS OUT COMPLETELY, AFTER A FEW SECONDS TO A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR CAN BE RE-STARTED AND DRIVEN AGAIN. SYMPTOMS POINT TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON THIS CAR A FEW YEARS AGO. ACURA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A TSB / SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY ONLY REPLACE THE PART ONCE WITH THE EXACT SAME PART THAT WILL FAIL EVENTUALLY JUST AS THE FIRST ONE DID. LOCAL DEALER ( FIRST ACURA OF SEEKONK, MA.) AND THE REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLAIMING THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS TO RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS KNOWN DEFECT IN ACURAS DESIGN OF THIS COMPONENT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO OTHER THAN KNUCKLING DOWN AND PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET? *TR
