On 3/15/14 my 1999 Acura Tl stalled/engine shut of completely without any warning while driving on the highway at 65 mph. 2nd time it happened, I was driving 40 mph on 3/22/14 & 3rd time it happened I was driving 10 mph on 3/27/14. Each time it happened the engine shut off completely but, the radio and warning light in the dash flashed on and off. I was able to coast to a stop without power steering. After 3-4 attemps to restart the car, I was able to drive off without incident. It happens so random and without warning that I am terrified to drive this car. The car has had a recall of the ignition switch performed in 2003 by the Acura dealer. On 3/24/14 I took the car to the dealer and they have trouble diagnosing the problem. They kept the car for 4 days. They replaced the main fuel relay, performed an engine diagnostic check, performed a recall on the ignition interlock and road tested the car. I picked up the car on 3/27/14 and it stalled later that day as I was driving away from my home. I took the car back to the dealer on 3/28/14 and they still have the car. I want the ntsa to investigate this engine stall issue with the 1999 Acura Tl. I called Acura client relations to report the problem on 3/26/14. I asked them to seriously look into this complaint. I believe ntsa should get involved to get Acura to check/rebuild the faulty ignition switch and conduct a fresh recall. This is a dangerous & serious problem that is similar to the recent gm ignition switch recall. Any vehicle that suddenly and silently shut down while driving instantly and without warning needs ntsa's immediate attention before injurys and deaths occur. I have lost all faith in Acura to successfully repair this ignition switch/stalling issue and call upon ntsa to get involved to investigate this complaint to do what it is supposed to do. . Save lives and prevent injuty.

Driving normally on city street when suddenly engine died & all electrical on console turned off. Car was diagnosed with faulty ignition switch. There had been a recall for this part.

Incident placed my family in seriously dangerous situation--in middle of road/traffic without power or instruments & barely able to steer.

While driving numerous times engine shuts down. I took notice that there were no common issues related to speed, weather outside, time of year. This has happened too many times to list.

On December 28, 2010, my 1999 Acura 3. 2tl engine shut off while I was driving without any dashboard warning lights. I pulled over to the side and tried turning the engine back on. It turned on and drove for about 2 minutes but shut off again. This repeated 6 ~7 times until I barely reached home. I checked my recall notices and have a record of changing my ignition switch under recall back in February 21, 2003. I searched online and many people were having the same problem of replacing the ignition switch more than once. I purchased the part and replaced it myself in my garage. Afterwards, the problem was gone and my engine never shut off since than. I called Acura and informed them of my incident and sincerely asked them to seriously look into this matter. I had told them if the part failed again, they need to check/rebuild the part and conduct a fresh recall. This is a dangerous & serious problem.

99 Acura Tl, single owner, routine maintenance followed by the book. Had ignition switch replaced after recall in 2002. 3 months ago at about 165,000 engine started cutting off while driving. Had it check by two places but neither had a solution. Started using gas treatments and did not have any further problems until yesterday. Driving on the highway middle lane, the car cut off (9:00pm) had to cross 4 lanes of traffic to get to the emergency lane while coasting - very scary dodging 18wheelers. Made it to the side tried to start, would not start. Waited 5 minutes, started again and moved about 100 feet towards an exit before it cut off again. Repeated process this time made it to the exit and waited for spouse. My spouse drove the car home no problem. Next morning trying to go to work car shut down on the highway again after traveling about 5 miles from my house. Tried to get it back home to a goodyear by the house. It cut off 8 times during that time. Goodyear analyzed it and said it looked like the ignition switch. Called Acura and was told if I already had the repair another repair would not be covered and Acura was the only one that could determine that the ignition switch was indeed the problem. I cannot risk driving 45 miles to the nearest dealership just for them to tell me that the ignition switch is not the problem.

Hi, I would like to officially file a complain against Acura. I have 1999 Acura 3. 2tl, the engine shuts off while driving on highway or even on idle. It's a intermittent issue and I noticed that it can happy anywhere or anytime which can result in fatal accident.

According to my dealer david mcdavid of austin is already been replaced in my car. They're clueless why I'm having this issue and offer no help to diagnose and fix the issue.

While traveling on highway at 60 mph, the automobile will randomly loose all electricity, ignition, and power items - brakes - steering - and engine stalls out completely, after a few seconds to a few minutes, the car can be re-started and driven again. Symptoms point to the ignition switch recall which was performed on this car a few years ago. Acura is aware of the problem and has issued a TSB / safety recall for this problem but they only replace the part once with the exact same part that will fail eventually just as the first one did. Local dealer ( first Acura of seekonk, MA. ) and the regional customer service department is claiming that I am responsible for all costs to resolve this serious known defect in Acuras design of this component. Is there anything that I can do other than knuckling down and paying for this repair out of my pocket?.
