My 99 will unexpectedly shut off while driving down the road whether it be 5 miles an hour or 60 miles an hour. When this happens all power is off then kicks itself back on but won-€™t start until about 5 minutes to 10 minutes later and then runs smoothly but sometimes it will shut off again and take longer to start.

Center cup holder design is poor. When braking quicker than usual, cups tip over and spill contents into the shift mechanism. Contacted Acura and was told that they will note it for the next major redesign. I almost got into deadly highway accidents because of this and most recently I ended driving into a curb and damaging my alluminum wheel (don't know if it is still safe to drive with it structure strength wise). Durrinng a maintenance visit, I found out that Acura changed the design for 2001 and never notifies its consumers. I told the dealer about my last incident who then proceeded and gave me the peice from the show room car which I then I adapted to my car. Acura should fess up to the problem. I was lucky not to have gotten into any accidents and only ended with alloy wheel damage (which I now have to pay to replace).

Design of the dashboard display is extremely difficult to read in daylight causing driver to remove eyes for extended period of time in order to see accurately. Mjs

- Ashland, OR, USA

The odometer and trip odometer on this model of the Acura is virtually impossible to read during daylight hours because of the nature of the display. There is a safety hazard to the extent that it is necessary to remove your eyes completely from the road and stick your face close to the odometer in order to read it. On a recent 2,000 mile trip, I wanted to check my trip odometer frequently. It was very difficult and dangerous to take try and read the display. Sooner or later, someone will be distracted enough to have or cause an accident. I contacted the Acura division of american Honda motor co. But they state they have no intention of addressing the problem. The idiot who designed the instrument panel display obviously never drove the car in the daytime. While this is not likely to be a major safety problem in terms of possible fatalities, it is still a safety hazard. And, this level of poor design should not be tolerated.

Design of the instrument panel prevents consumer to see the instrutment panel while in the sun. Dealer/ manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that they do not see anything wrong, and nothing would be done at this time.
