The Acura key has a hinge on it with a release button and a spring where the keys open when the button is pressed and the key locks in place. The locking mechanism on the hinge failed. This means that when enough items are on a keychain on the key the weight will rotate the keys into a lever and pull the car into the off position on its own while driving on the road. My car has turned off without warning due to the key hinge lock failure on the highway ant speed and well as on bumpy roads and at stoplights.

Intermitten problem with brakes becoming soft/spongy. I have taken my vehicle to Hondaa and a few local shops no one could identify the issue but confirmed brakes rotors were good and no leakes. After searching online I found many people experiencing the same issue which seems to be a known issue Acura is aware of....there seems to be a problem with the VSA Modular failing which is leaking air into the brake line and causing spongy brakes. This is sooooo dangerous as it happens out of no where Im driving normal and suddenly it feels like I have no brakes. The spongy brakes cause a lag in stopping and if for some reason I have to suddenly stop I would be unable to...this symptom last sometimes minutes, hours, and days with no reason and then brakes return to normal. Im afraid to drive my vehicle as this is dangerius and a safety issue. Acura should issue a recall as this is putting lives in danger.

I've had my vehicle stop in the middle of the road due to a mechanical recall that went undiagnosed.( over oil consumption recall, in which I was completely unaware until finally receiving the letter prodivided) I was driving off of pleasant street in hanson ma, crossing onto the main road when my vehicle engine just shut down and froze the steering wheel. Also a police officer was on the scene to help me safely off the road. I have been calling acura of honda and they have been running me in circles with numerous people on the phone and denied that they are willing to cover this problem, and this IS a major safety issue. Which the claim safety IS first and for the client, but they have failed to deliver on their own words in the safety recall. The car IS currently down in hopes that they supply a repair since they have been much aware of this issue, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Vehicle occasionally hesitates, very heavily, when accelerating uphill, like on freeway entrance ramps. When trying to accelerate abruptly, or from first of second gear, it feels like the transmission IS down shifting, which could be dangerous in certain situations or when using a freeway entrance ramp in heavy traffic.

My 2009 acura TL stalls for no apparent reason. I can be pulling out from a traffic light, pulling off after pausing at a stop sign, changing gears from drive to reverse, or just simply driving on the highway or a city street. my car can have a full tank of gas or less than half of a tank of gas, it can be cold or hot outside, it can be the first time I move my car for the day or the tenth time, etc. I have not been able to pinpoint the exact issue with my vehicle. I am growing more and more concerned that this stalling could place me in imminent danger but unexpectedly causing an accident in which my vehicle IS rear-ended. prayerfully, this doesn't occur on the highway (in which I drive to work daily!) in which speeds could exceed 80-mph. I initially noticed the problem in late january/february. I just assumed that it was in relation to the cold weather. I took my vehicle to acura at oxmoor twice in relation to this problem - resulting in almost $700 worth of expenses. they completed a diagnostics and ended up 1. Replacing the crank position sensor; 2. Performing transmission service; and performing fuel induction service. the problem still exists and I am not sure how to proceed. based on my review of acura blogs on the internet, it seems that the problem IS extremely prevalent amongst other acura TL owners and might be related to the torque converter. The problem could be related to acura tsb #b16033. My car has more than 120K miles on it. but considering the manufacturer, cost, and continued proper maintenance (which has only been performed at acura of oxmoor), I would expect my car to last at least 10 years without major transmission or engine problems.

Acura IS asking me to continue to drive a hazardous and perhaps fatally flawed vehicle with regards to the airbag recall thus jeopardizing my life and the life of others. I was informed by my local dealer in the orlando, fl area that I needed to bring in the vehicle in and sign a waiver that I would not drive the vehicle until repaired but that I needed to bring someone else with me that would drive the vehicle back to my home. Therefore, acura agrees that the vehicle IS dangerous enough for me not to drive but that I should have 'someone else' drive it back which would be an hour drive. Not sure if that 'someone else' should be a teenager or my wife who's life I would be jeopardizing in their eyes. Because the dealer was not agreeing to store the vehicle while it waited on parts and be responsible for the vehicle, I had to contact corporate again. This time the acura client relations representative read me what sounded like a script that advised me that I could continue to drive the car because the recall letter may have sounded harsh but the only real problems were with honda civics of much older years. I found this interesting that they would influence me to continue to drive what the nhtsa has determined IS a dangerous vehicle prompting a recall and thus increase their liability for any injuries or deaths that may occur. Therefore my complaint IS that acura IS encouraging owners to continue to put their lives, the lives of their families and innocent bystanders at risk that could result in serious injuries including death. I find this completely unacceptable. I currently am still waiting for a case manager to return my call to resolve my case. when I call again I was told that I have to wait which might take days. Again unacceptable while I continue to be at risk.

"Takata recall" I received a recall notice from acura that my 2009 TL was being recalled for the airbag inflator. on the recall notice it states "the defect in these vehicles could kill or injure you or other people in your vehicle". It advises to take the car to the dealer to have a new airbag ordered and if wanted, receive alternate transportation. the dealer did offer alternate transportation with which you agree to park the recalled vehicle until repairs are made. the only problem IS the dealer advised they have no procedures to install the new airbag nor do they have the parts. The dealer advised it could take until september 2016 or maybe even longer, before the repair can be made. the dealer advised they have no further information beyond what has just been stated. if my car sits for another five months or longer there IS no consideration for the depreciation of my vehicle while it IS parked. why not? also, how great IS the hazard as the dealer advised some owners are continuing to drive their vehicle awaiting the replacement of the airbag. remember, the recall notice states "these vehicles could kill or injure you". so the consumer IS left with the decision to risk life and limb or park the vehicle with no idea when it would be repaired! I cannot trade the car with this recall notice pending and expect to get full value for it. acura advised they would not provide any additional compensation other than the rental car. who IS negotiating on behalf of the consumer? what IS my real risk driving this vehicle? why was compensation not part of the agreed to recall that was negotiated? why IS the ntsb leaving it up to consumers to assess the risk to themselves and their family? what IS being done to accelerate the replacement of these airbags? I have been asking for over two years if my vehicle had a takata airbag and was told they did not know.
