| I was driving at approx. 45 mph when i felt my car die, all my gauges went down and i lost power steering. luckily i was close to an intersection and pulled to the side of the road. i put the car in park and it started again. then on the way home, it did the same thing in the middle of a busy road. the car died and i pulled over and tried to start it several times. it finally started and now i am scared to drive it! i looked on the acura forums- http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=719910 acura had a recall for the ignition switch. however, they only replace it once and unfortunately it appears that several people have had to replace their ignition switches several times. acura only pays for the 1st replacement. that's an outrage! this is dangerous. i had my kids in the car and these damn car manufacturers need to step up and fix their liabilities and get it right. they have a responsibility to make their product safe and care for the lives of the people that have purchased their vehicles. | |||

| I was about to come to a complete stop at a stop sign in the parking lot (about 6 feet from stop sign) and the car shut off completely. i was going about 10 miles/hr. i started the car - no response; it was dead. turned on 4 way hazard lights and tried to start it agin - still nothing. made a phone call to a friend. after about 5 minutes, started the car again and this time it started. how scary!! | |||
