While driving at about 35 mph, an electrical warning light came on. I was braking for a red light. After stopping at the light I took my foot off the gas. The car hestitated about 3 seconds before it was able to move forward, warning came on to shut down unecessary power.. I was barely able to pull car off the road. It would not move more than two feet after I got it off the road. An hour later the car would be able to drive to the tow truck, but the electrical system then shut down totally. Restarted the car again to move to tow truck. It is in shop for service now. The car had just been checked for A1 service and Acura and passed inspection as well.

In addition, the speedometer failed to properly display an accurate speed rate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. Updated 10/29/13 the consumer stated the dealer and manufacturer were unwilling to test the vehicle. Some advised only Acura could test/repair the vehicle. The consumer also was advised the tools needed where too expensive for the vehicle to be tested for the odometer failure.
