On July 23, 2011, my hand and elbow were permanently disabled, when my 1999 Acura TL rolled backwards down the driveway and knocked me down. As I tried to stop it from rolling down the driveway but the car won. The car was in park and the brake was engaged, but it still rolled backwards. The car had been in for service at least three times previous to the accident in 04-20-11,05-16-11, and 06-22-11. Each time, the car was taken to mungenast Acura for service yet not once did they mention the recall of the interlocking switch to repair this problem. Their negligence in this matter directly contributed to this accident and my permanent disability. They just replaced the switch when the car began to turn over but stall out as I reported to them 3-13-14. Their disregard for my safety and Honda's refusal to address my concerns about this problem has been outlandish. Tiffany in Honda client relations pretty much stated so what to bad we are not going to do anything and refused to allow me to speak to anyone above her. She told me to call the dealership this is not Honda's problem. She placed a call to the dealership and no one called her back. I was told to contact the BBB, NHTSA and anyone else that I wanted to contact. She was not going to do anything. I asked her to put her position in writing to me. I have not received any correspondence. I want restitution for the negligence of both of these parties. Letters will go out to all reporting agencies. Updated 04/21/14 updated 07/24/14

1999 Acura 3.2tl with recalls that the consumer experienced but never received a recall. The consumer stated the transmission failed and he had to pay for the repairs out of pocket. While driving on the highway at 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly shut off with no warning. The consumer managed to pull over to the side of the road. The consumer was informed, the stalling was due to a defective ignition switch.

The odometer is invisible and can not be read even at night due to design.
