My car has been automatically shutting off while driving. Bringing my car to a halt, not a full on stop but to the point my wheels lock up. Sort of like im slamming on my brake but I can't press my brake. I lose power steering, the entire car shuts off. Then I have to try and restart it, but it won't turn over. Sometimes its just for a few minutes. Other times Im stranded for hours. A few times its been days. After it dies and i turn the key off and then back on but not over ill have power. I have a kid and we've been stranded on an on ramp with cars going 60 all around us. The car just randomly shut off in the middle of the road. There's a lot of traffic around these parts and we were stuck, not even being able to get out of the vehicle with the cars going on each side of us. Ive done some research and ive seen thousands of other complaints about this issue since 2002. Ive had 3 different mechanics try to figure out what the issue was. Have had my car at the shop for weeks at a time. A few times even the mechanics couldn't get it started, and it had to sit for 3 days before it would start up again. The check engine light is on and all 3 different mechanics have fixed everything thats came up. After this started happening ive had to replace brakes and rotors several times. My car started shifting way to late. And feels like its starting to slip. This is a safety hazzard. Especially in larger cities.

We got an April 2019 letter for an important safety recall which came too late! my car was totaled in a accident in which both airbags deployed. It did cause hurtful pressure on my grandson's chest with an emergency bill over $500 and 2 days of losses wages. Ok for which we had no compensation. Car was in motion on highway street in which the other party was ticketed on an illegal U turn.

2002 Acura Tls: Intermittent sever right front wheel braking causing vehicle to leave lane of travel at various speeds (25-55 mph). Replaced yaw sensor, no change. Replaced front wheel sensors, no change. Scanned for codes without result. Technician contacted tech line and sent snapshot of vsa. All tests normal including voltages and connector pin fit at vsa control unit, lateral acceleration sensor connector and connector 204. Contacted Acura customer service, but we're not willing to provide any additional assistance due to mileage of vehicle. The only way to drive the car safely is to deactivate the vsa manually after starting the vehicle each time. Last option is to replace vsa control module (quote for new part #39780-S0K-A01 vsa unit $1,031.46, plus labor).
