2006 Acura Tl

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A VERY BUSY STREET, DRIVING ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR. IT WAS DARK AND RAINING AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN! NO HEADLIGHTS, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND NOTHING WAS RUNNING...IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF NO HAZARD LIGHTS EITHER! LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE. I PULLED MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THEN PUT IT BACK IN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I REPEATED PUTTING MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. I PULLED IT IN THE GARAGE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF...PULLED THE KEY OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN THE IGNITION AND IT DOES NOT START AT ALL. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS JUST REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO. WHEN I TRIED IT THIS MORNING, THE DASHBOARD AND OVER HEAD LIGHTS COME ON IN THE CAR. WHEN I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN IT, EVERYTHING TURNS OFF AND THE CAR DOES NOT START! HELP PLEASE! *JS

VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT ON 2006 ACURA TL IS LEAKING AIR INTO THE BRAKE SYSTEM MAKING THE PEDAL SOFT WHICH CAN LEAD TO POOR BRAKING AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I NARROWLY ESCAPED AN ACCIDENT A FEW WEEKS AGO. ACURA HAS KNOWN THIS ISSUE FOR LONG TIME AND HAS EVEN PUBLISHED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (07-041) BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE THIS PART. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH A LOT OF HONDA AND ACURA VEHICLES BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO ENFORCEMENT. NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FORCE HONDA/ACURA TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS AND DRIVERS SIDE SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST ACURA DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND EVERY PERSON THERE WAS SHOCKED TO SEE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH NO SIGNS OF IMPACT. I OPENED A CASE WITH ACURA CORPORATE AND THEY SENT THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVE TO INVESTIGATE AND CONCLUDED THAT ROTOR DUST PLATE HAS A MARK DUE TO SOME TYPE OF IMPACT. THEY THEN REFERRED ME TO MY INSURANCE TO FILE A CLAIM. I FILED A CLAIM AND MY INSURANCE SENT 2 SEPARATE ADJUSTERS TO INSPECT THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIND ANY SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT TO CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THEY DENIED MY CLAIM AS MECHANICAL FAILURE. I'VE SINCE TRIED TO REACH BACK OUT TO ACURA CORPORATE BUT THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAVE DONE THEIR INVESTIGATION AND STAND FIRM ON THEIR FINDINGS. I HAVE RE-ITERATED WHAT MY INSURANCE HAS CONCLUDED BUT THEY HAVE GONE AS FAR AS TO TELL ME A SIMPLE POT HOLE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I BELIEVE IN SOME CASES WHERE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT COULD CAUSE THIS, BUT THIS WAS NOT THAT CASE. I DID NOT HEAR/FEEL ANY TYPE OF IMPACT THAT DAY AND ALL OF THE MECHANICS AND SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE SHOCKED THAT ACURA HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. I DID HAVE HAVE SOME ABRASIONS ON MY CHEST FROM THE SEAT BELT LOCKING UP, BUT FEEL SINCE NO SUBSTANTIAL INJURY OCCURRED THEY ARE NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. *TR
