| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car stalled when at complete stop to make a turn on5-24-07, started back up immediately and drove fine. car stalled while making a turn into a pharmacy parking lot on 5-25-07, started right back up and drove ok after that. i was thirty miles from home to go to the doctor so i started home on i-44 in a rain storm. i was driving 65 mph in the inside lane when the car stalled. thought i was going to die. this on a friday afternoon on a holiday weekend. was fortunate enough to be able to guide the car over the outside lane of traffic and get it off the road. started right back up. i did turn off the ac and prayed all the rest of the 20 miles or so that i had to go to get home, which i did. called a local repair shop that i have used before and being a holiday weekend, could not get it in before tuesday, 5-29-07. found to be ignition switch. was told to call honda dealership in springfield, mo and was told was fixed after recall. in looking at the paper work i had from previous owner, it had been done at 67375 miles and again had problems and was done at 83050 miles again. they would not help me at all at the dealership so i had no choice but to pay for it myself. the car now has 103596 miles on it. so that tells me that these ignition switches are good for 20,000 or less and my life was in jeopardy because of this faulty switch. now how long can i drive and be safe before this happens again???? the very least that honda could do is pay for this but more important fix the switch so that people do not think they are going to die like i almost did. i am 69 years old and this is a strain mentally and financially. *tr |
