1999 Acura TL Engine cooling Problems

“Out of the whole month of dec until now,I am driving down the road, and my car just cuts off, no warning at all, I have almost been in 2 accidents due to this as I have a small child, I am concerned about this..also my check engine n emissions light has been on since Acura fixed my transmission back in 2005 why did they not check the recalls for this? I had no clue about the recalls as I was the new owner of what I thought was a 'safe car for my child!never again will I purchase one of these. I am a single mother who needs this completed not my fault this car had recalls...”

“Car engine stalls while driving. This problem was addressed with a recall in 2004 which replaced the ignition switch. The car is a 1999 Acura 3.2tl. I called honda recently and was informed that the repair was a one-time fix only. My question is whether the switch was in fact replaced and if it was replaced why is it failing? Conversations with auto mechanics indicate the switch should never fail if the design is sound. Since june 22, 2009, the engine has stalled a number of times. I only recently determined that the cause of the stalling was the ignition switch problem.”

“I was about to come to a complete stop at a stop sign in the parking lot (about 6 feet from stop sign) and the car shut off completely. I was going about 10 miles/hr. I started the car - no response; it was dead. Turned on 4 way hazard lights and tried to start it agin - still nothing. Made a phone call to a friend. After about 5 minutes, started the car again and this time it started. How scary!!”

“Was driving down the road at 65 MPH and out of no where the cars transmission down shifted into first gear. My car hopped and kicked me threw two lanes of traffic. I managed to get the car to the side of the road but I could have been seriously hurt. This is the second time the transmission and other components had to be changed in this vehicle and this time I could have killed my self or others. Dt”

“The contact owns a 1999 Acura TL. While driving less than 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The failure occurred on more than four occasions. The contact took the vehicle to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that there was a recall on her vehicle. She then took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the recall repair had previously been performed; therefore, they would not take responsibility for a second repair. The repair would cost approximately $251. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The failure and current mileages were less than 164,000.”
