Consumer Description

ON DECEMBER 28, 2010, MY 1999 ACURA 3.2TL ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ANY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND TRIED TURNING THE ENGINE BACK ON. IT TURNED ON AND DROVE FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES BUT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS REPEATED 6 ~7 TIMES UNTIL I BARELY REACHED HOME. I CHECKED MY RECALL NOTICES AND HAVE A RECORD OF CHANGING MY IGNITION SWITCH UNDER RECALL BACK IN FEBRUARY 21, 2003. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH MORE THAN ONCE. I PURCHASED THE PART AND REPLACED IT MYSELF IN MY GARAGE. AFTERWARDS, THE PROBLEM WAS GONE AND MY ENGINE NEVER SHUT OFF SINCE THAN. I CALLED ACURA AND INFORMED THEM OF MY INCIDENT AND SINCERELY ASKED THEM TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I HAD TOLD THEM IF THE PART FAILED AGAIN, THEY NEED TO CHECK/REBUILD THE PART AND CONDUCT A FRESH RECALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS & SERIOUS PROBLEM. A VEHICLE SUDDENLY & SILENTLY SHUTS DOWN AND LOSES POWER INSTANTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. *TR
