| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On at least two separate occasions, the engine on my 1999 honda accord spontaneously quit while driving down the road. it then restarted immediately. on at least two other separate occasions, the engine would appear to start, but would quit immediately when the key was released from the start position. the cause of the problems was diagnosed by the dealer's service department as a faulty electrical part in the ignition switch. i have learned that some honda models manufactured during the same time frame as my vehicle have been recalled for this very problem, but i was informed that my vehicle was not part of this recall. considering the history, it sounds as if not all of the problematic cars have been identified and/or recalled. the problem is clearly a safety issue. losing power to a vehicle while driving at highway speeds could lead to catastrophic consequences. as a result, i feel that my 1999 honda accord should have been a part of that recall. fortunately, i was able to identify and correct this problem at my expense before it caused an accident. *nm |
