general problems of the 2003 Acura TL

By accident, I am able to turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition with the transmission still in gear. Campaign #10v364000 covers Honda version of my car, #12v573000 covers Acura mdx only, nothing for my Acura version of the Honda sedans.

My brother was driving my car one then it all the sudden car just stopped when was going and bad part was it stopped in traffic he almost got hit it was scary. I got lots of problems with this car please help!.

Can remove key from ignition while the vehicle is in d (drive).

There is a known transmission issue with Acura 2003tl version, even though Acura have put it in recall, to do the work the dealer charge anywhere from $350-600. The vehicle chokes up in between the road because of overheating in transmission. The headlights flickering is one another issue which when taken to the dealer called it as computer system mess up in the car and this is not in the recall, the dealer charges about $800 for such repair which is not reasonable for the faulty equipment of Acura.

I was slowing down to make a left turn. The steering failed. I wrestled the car -- bruising my hand -- into the turn and ended up on the curb. The engine apparently had stalled, causing the steering failure. I was able to restart and go on my way, after backing off the curb.
