| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - IGNITION - SWITCH | |||
| 12/05/2008 | 82430 | 1 | |
| 2003 acura 3.2 tl on december 5, 2008 a faulty ignition switch on our 2003 acura 3.2 tl allowed the key to be removed in any gear, resulting in a rollaway accident causing head, foot and hip injuries to our daughter after she parked the car in our slightly inclined driveway. dealer agreed ignition switch was definitely faulty. key should never come out in any gear but park. our mileage on the date of accident was 82,430 miles. shortly after we bought this car new, it started having intermittent no start/no crank problems, and sometimes it would start 5 or 10 minutes later. each time the dealer could not duplicate problem and assured us they checked everything and couldn't find any problem. the car would be fine until it happened again. this problem continued up until just a few months ago. it has been well maintained and taken to dealer many times for same problem . they probably never inspected the ignition switch because our year car was never included in previous recalls of ignition switches, as it should have been. a faulty transmission on this same car went out on our daughter once about 5 months ago when she was driving. it was replaced under the extended warranty due to previous transmission recall. *tr | |||

| Ignition lock failed allowing key to be removed in any position and not securing the auto in a parked condition. hence the vehicle rolled back into another car. the vehicle in question has only 87243 miles on it and this part should not fail, especially as it did to allow the car to move when it was supposedly turned off, and in park. this vehicle has had previous transmission issues as well and was the subject of a recall. *jb | |||
| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - WIRING - REAR COMPARTMENT/TRUNK | |||
| 09/01/2003 | 5 | 03/01/2003 | |
| Yaw rate sensor for the vehicle stability assist (vds) system may be improperly mounted. this can cause either of the front wheel brakes to be suddenly and firmly applied without warning for up to one second. a possible result is lost of control or rear end collision (brake lights are not activated). improperly mounted sensor will also cause the vds to deactivate until engine restart, activate vsa system indicator warning light on the tachometer face, and set a yaw rate sensor diagnostic trouble code. honda has started supplying yaw rate sensors with a locating pin which prevents improper mounting. but there is no indication that honda has recalled to check those vehicles built or repaired with units lacking the locating pins. the unit is easily accessible to check for proper mounting. this problem pertains to 2003 & 2002 type-s versions of both the 3.2tl and 3.2cl models. *la | |||
