NHTSA Complaint #10818844 — 2004 ACURA MDX

I WAS DRIVING ON WEDNESDAY JAN 5 2016 AND MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON OLD GRASSY ROAD AT ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR AS I JUST HAD STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. I NOTICED THE LIGHTS WERE ALL STARTING TO COME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAD IT TOWED TO ACURA OF MILFORD, CT. AFTER 2 DAYS AND AFTER INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR THEY FOUND 1 OF 6 COILS MELTED - THE IGNITION COIL - WHICH THEN RUINED A SPARK PLUG WHICH THEN RUINED MY ENGINE. THE VALUE OF THE CAR IS NOT MUCH AND I WAS ALREADY OVER $1000. WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN AND WHY AFTER ALL MY REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WAS THIS NOT FOUND UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. I HAD TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT VTM 4 AND IGNITION LAMP INDICATORS COME ON. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND IN FACT THE AIR BAG WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED THE SAME DAY DUE TO A RECALL. I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM HOPING FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THESE REPAIRS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SINCE MY CAR IS NOW INOPERABLE. THANK YOU I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE CAR IN MY POSSESSION. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
