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!!

Out of the whole month of Dec until now, I am driving down the road, and my car just cuts off, no warning at all, I have almost been in 2 accidents due to this as I have a small child, I am concerned about this..also my check engine N emissions light has been on since Acura fixed my transmission back in 2005 why did they not check the recalls for this? I had no clue about the recalls as I was the new owner of what I thought was a 'safe" car for my child!never again will I purchase one of these. I am a single mother who needs this completed not my fault this car had recalls...

Car engine stalls while driving. This problem was addressed with a recall in 2004 which replaced the ignition switch. The car is a 1999 Acura 3.2tl. I called Honda recently and was informed that the repair was a one-time fix only. My question is whether the switch was in fact replaced and if it was replaced why is it failing? conversations with auto mechanics indicate the switch should never fail if the design is sound. Since June 22, 2009, the engine has stalled a number of times. I only recently determined that the cause of the stalling was the ignition switch problem.

The contact owns a 1999 Acura TL. While driving less than 50 mph, the vehicle stalled. The failure occurred on more than four occasions. The contact took the vehicle to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that there was a recall on her vehicle. She then took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the recall repair had previously been performed; therefore, they would not take responsibility for a second repair. The repair would cost approximately $251. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The failure and current mileages were less than 164,000.
