2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2014

I was driving to work approximately a half mile from my house . . My car just turned off, although the ignition key was still in . . It was med-heavy traffic. I don't believe I even had lights but I can't say for sure at first I thought maybe I had gotten bad gas . . Then it happened again as I was turning a corner. Staring became difficult and both times I had to put my car into neutral to restart it . . From there it happened mayb 1 every week to once every 3 weeks mayb . I checked my plugs wires had my fuel filter replaced stopped going where I was gettn gas . . One day I was on the computer at work (oreillys autoparts ) and noticed my car had been involved in a recall at some point , but what they described was exactly what my car was doing . Randomly turning off . . I was told by Acura becauz my car was "fixed" during the first recall I needed to replace my ignition switch at my own cost . . I've owned my vehicle since 2006 . It is a safety issue . I'm afraid to drive my car to the Acura dealer . It's about 90 minutes away . Obviously over time the ignition switch wears out becauz I've only put 60,000 miles on it and I bout it with 65000. Is my safety not a concern with Acura . That how they have dealt with me.
