DRIVING INTO WORK ON THURSDAY THE 16TH OF APRIL, 2015 I WAS ROUNDING A DESIGNATED U-TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 3-5MPH. AS I WAS MIDWAY THROUGH THE TURN, MY CAR DROPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND A SCRAPPING NOISE STARTED TO SOUND. MY CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND A GRINDING NOISE MADE ME WEARY TO MOVE. BECOMING STATIONARY, I WAS SIDEWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS APPROACHING. I PROCEEDED TO SLOWLY INCH MY CAR OUT OF THE ROAD AND INTO A SAFE LOCATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I LIFTED MY CAR UP USING THE JACK IN THE TRUNK I COULD VISIBLY SEE MY LOWER BALL JOINT HAD COME OUT OF THE SOCKET AND THE SUSPENSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS COLLAPSED. IF THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY HALF A MILE BEFORE THE LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT I WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY 75. I AM LUCKY THAT THIS COMPONENT FAILURE DID NOT RESULT IN THE WHEEL BUCKLING UNDER THE PRESSURE OF THE BREAK. ALSO I AM LUCKY THERE WERE NO MORE THAN A FEW CARS APPROACHING ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED (T-BONE SITUATION). I HAVE BEEN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE TO CONFIRM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 99V069000 HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND IS FOR THIS EXACT SAME CONSEQUENCE, WHICH IT SEEMS TO BE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE CATEGORIZED AS A WEAR COMPONENT BUT THE BALL JOINT ON ANY CAR SHOULD NEVER COME OUT OF PLACE OR FAIL AT ALL. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER ITEM THAT WAS ALREADY RECALLED AND REPAIRED DONE AGAIN DUE TO THE RECALL NOT HOLDING UP. THE ISSUE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 02V120000 WAS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH CONTACTS SPREADING RESULTING IN A STALL CONDITION AND IN COME CASES A NO-START CONDITION POST STALL. THE ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED AND JUST RE-COMPLETED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE FIXES THAT ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED BY ACURA SEEM TO BANDAGE THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF A ROBUST FIX THAT WILL NOT PRESENT THE ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED ACURA WHOM STATED THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME.

AT 55 MPH THE CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. CONTACTING THE COMPANY ABOUT A RECALL THAT I SAW ON THE INTERNET THE COMPANY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETED ON MY CAR. I DID NOT REMEMBER IT BEING DONE BUT TOLD THEM THAT THE PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OWNING THE CAR IN 344,000 MILES HAS NOW STARTED. THEY SAID THEY COULD FIX IT BUT COULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CONFIRMED AND REPAIRED THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL PART OF IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WHEN THE PART WAS IN STOCK.

THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING SHUT DOWN AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT 55 MPH, I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR ANYONE ELSE HAVING THAT ISSUE AND FOUND THE RECALL ON MY CAR FOR IGNITION SWITCH, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY CAR ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED BUT WOULD LOOK AT IT AND CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. I DROVE THE CAR OVER, WHILE DOING SO IT DIED ON ME AGAIN. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE SWITCH AND SINCE IT WAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $500.00 TO REPLACE IT. ( I WOULD THINK THAT SINCE IT APPEARED THAT THE "FIX" DID NOT WORK THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AGAIN.) THE DEALER THEN TOLD ME THAT SINCE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK THAT I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AND GAVE ME MY CAR TO DRIVE HOME. (NOW THERE'S A REAL SAFETY ISSUE.) SINCE I AM CURRENTLY NOT WORKING I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE SWITCH MYSELF AND UPON OPENING UP THE STEERING COLUMN I FOUND THAT THE 2 BOLTS HOLDING THE KEY LOCK TO THE COLUMN ARE A SAFETY TYPE " PAN HEAD " THAT CANT BE REMOVED EASILY. THE FUNNY THING IS I REALLY FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD USE THIS TYPE OF BOLT TO REPLACE A RECALL ITEM. THERE ARE NO EASY WAYS TO GET AT THE SPOT TO RE-INSTALL THEM. IF THE MANUFACTURER RECALLED THE ITEM FOR THIS ISSUE IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE RECALL SWITCH IN IT. *TR

RUNAWAY CAR: I BACKED OUT OF A BUSINESS PARKING SPACE AND BARELY TAPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE FORWARD. I KNOW I HARDLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR BECAUSE I WAS GOINIG TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE TURN ONTO A SIDE STREEET WITH A STOP SIGN. AS SOON AS I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WENT FORWARD WITH FULL POWER. MY FOOT WENT TO THE BRAKE INSTANTLY BUT THE BRAKES DID NOTHING. MY NIECE AND I FLEW ACROSS THE SIDE STREET, THROUGH A FOOT HIGH CONCRETE BARRIER (BREAKING IT), A HEDGE THEN IN ANOTHER BUSINESS'S PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR CAME TO AN INSTANT STOP. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND IT WAS OVER. WE WERE NEVER SO SCARED IN OUR LIVES. WE STOPPED JUST SORT OF GOING INTO A STREET FULL OF TRAFFIC. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE ACURA'S ARE NOT LISTED WITH ANY RECALLS. MY FLOOR MATS WERE NOT IN BECAUSE I JUST HAD THE CAR DETAILED SO THEY WERE DAMP. THERE WAS NO MIX UP RE THE BRAKE AND ACCEERATOR PETALS BECAUSE I MOVED MY FOOT TO ANOTHER PETAL. I DON'T KNOW IF THE ACCERATOR WAS DOWN ALL THE WAY, THERE WAS NO TIME TO SEE AS I WAS BUSY TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. IT IS MY BELIEF THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM. *TR

AUTO, MECHANIC, BODY SHOP MECHANIC AN A LOCKSMITH, I EVEN WENT TO FREEMAN STEREO TO SEE IF IT WAS ELECTRICAL. THEY ALL SAID THAT IT IS THE DOOR CATCH, IT IS GOING TO COST ME 400.00. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE CATCH AND THE BODY SHOP HAS HAD 4 HONDA, ACURAS HE SAID IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. HE SAID THAT IT IS WELL NOTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATCHES.
