The switch is causing my car to die while im driving down the road or when im stopped and when I start to pull out on to the main road it has even stayed running when I cut the car off and take the key out I would have to pop my Clutch to kill it and then my dash lights wouldnt go off or come back on and I wouldnt know it til I got back in my car to leave again and then the battery would be dead, ive had to hold my key on while driving and changing gears and now its causing my starter to sound like somethin awful its going to get me killed sonething needs to be done ASAP bout it. Uns can ignore this complaint all uns want but fair warning if I get killed in it there will be one big law suit on yalls ass. Ty have a bleesed day I could be turning or anything it does it, it does not hold back when it gets ready to cut off it will, there is no signs when its going to happen. It happens everyday everytime I drive it it cuts off @ least 40 times or more a day.

Car stalled on freeway - full electrical shutdown - gauges dropped. Put car into neutral, restarted ignition, slight grind at starter, and car started. Pulled over when safe & when put car in reverse, heard whining/grinding noise and it wouldn't engage. Drive worked fine so drove to dealer. Dealer found ignition to be defective and covered under recall - it caused the stall. Dealer said transmission needed replacement for $4800 - won;t cover it and say the transmission failure and stall have noting to do with each other. The stall was very unsafe and shifting into neutral was best safest manuever (agreed to by dealer and Acura USA), but they argue no causality. Seeking remedy through bureau of auto repair, lawsuit if necessary.
