What owners wrote
“The car stalls at random times. Other times you press the gas and there is a significant delay in acceleration. Acura and the dealer have failed to provide the part even though I have asked for it since last February. It is ridiculous. Are you people charged with enforcement?”

“My vehicle stopped in the middle of the road as I took exit from the highway. I was almost rear ended as I was entering the parking lot .The vehicle just stalled. I took it the Acura Dealership for fix and they have not taken care of recall issue. I am being asked to spend money on fixing other electrical errors first before they fix the recall on my vehicle.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 59 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
