Car Stall problems of the 2002 Acura MDX

The contact owns a 2002 Acura Mdx. For over two years, the vehicle randomly stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 02v226000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

I bought a 2002 Acura Mdx in 8/2005. The recall was never performed, the vehicle started having issues in 2010. When I took the vehicle to get it checked I was informed that a recall had been done on 2001-2002 Acura Mdx for 2nd gear issues. After taking the vehicle to a dealership, Acura customer service stated the transmission failure that the vehicle was having had nothing to do with the recall. Stated that there was no discoloration of the 2nd gear and that the vehicle is way past warranty so they will not assist with the repair. I believe the issue with the transmission is a result of the issues with the recall. When driving the vehicle stalls when going into 3rd gear, almost coming to a complete stop.

I had just traveled 19 miles on the freeway and had stopped at the red light on the offramp. Shortly after making the turn, the car stalled without warning, the engine just stopped. I coasted, all the warning lights were on. I had to stop, put car in gear, and eventually restarted the car. This is the second incident when the car engine stopped without warning (first was pulling into an underground parking structure). The power steering goes out making driving difficult. I took it to the dealer and they indicated that there was nothing wrong as it could not be replicated. Their idea to resolve was to blindly start replacing expensive parts of the engine. I feel I am playing russian roulette each time I drive the car and the next time may result in a collision.
