I have an Acura TL 2003 VIN [xxx]. ever since I bought this car (new, purchased on Nov 7, 1998) on several times its 'check engine' indicator light comes on and goes off without any repair or any change. Acura had a recall on egr system clogging. But in my car this indicator light still comes on and then goes off without any indication of a problem. I took my car to service center they told me that catalytic converter was bad, before I could get it fixed the indicator light went off. But in few days "check engine" light came back again. This indicator light off-on cycle still going on, it goes off for weeks and comes back on for weeks. I can't seem to figure out this erratic behavior of such an important safety indicator.

Was driving down the road at 65 mph and out of no where the cars transmission down shifted into first gear. My car hopped and kicked me threw two lanes of traffic. I managed to get the car to the side of the road but I could have been seriously hurt. This is the second time the transmission and other components had to be changed in this vehicle and this time I could have killed my self or others.
