My 1999 acura tl stalls on me on the road, this has happened several times, approximately 4 times in the past 3 months. This occurred while driving, meaning my car stalled while I was in traffic. I learned about a recall from the national highway traffic and safety authority. Recall numbers: - 02v120000 on 05/16/2002 - 05v025000 on 01/28/2005 - 03v423000 on 10/27/2003 these are all recalls with the same problems I have in my car.

While stopped, with foot on the brake pedal, I was waiting for my garage door to open. The garage door started to open and it was about half way up when my car suddenly accelerated.
