I BELIEVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING THIS AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED ON MODELS 1997 AND NEWER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS RECALL EXTENDED AT LEAST TO THE 1995 MODEL. MY CAR EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I'LL BE TRAVELING ALONG AND THE ENGINE JUST QUIETLY SHUTS DOWN. I'M AFRAID OF DRIVING IT FOR FEAR THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT QUIT WHEN I TRY TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR MAKE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS. JASON FRITZ. *AK

ON THURSDAY MAY 10, 2001 AROUND 12:05 PM, THE STARTER ON OUR 1995 HONDA ACCORD (@76,000 MILES) ENGAGED WHILE NO ONE OR THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR. MYSELF AND AT LEAST TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITNESSED THE CAR CLIMB A FOUR INCH CURB AND MOVE APPROXIMATELY 35 FT WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED. THE CAR WAS STOPPED WITH FOOT BRAKE. IT STARTED TO SMOKE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HOOD WAS RAISED TO FIND THE STARTER AND CABLES IN FLAMES. A HAND HELD CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS USED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE TWICE. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND UNHOOKED THE BATTERY. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO RICK WOODSON HONDA, PETERS CREEK ROAD, ROANOKE, VA. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY WORK DONE ON THE STARTER. IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO START NOR HAS THE STARTER SYSTEM EVER REQUIRED CHECKING. OTHER THAN MOTOR OIL AND A BATTERY REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 4, 1999, EVERY MAINTENANCE PART HAS COME FROM HONDA. ONLY A HONDA DEALER OR MY HUSBAND HAS EVER HAD THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HOOD UP ON THIS CAR. IT HAS NEVER REQUIRED A JUMP-START NOR HAS IT JUMP STARTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN 95% OF THE MILES ACCUMULATED ON THIS CAR. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM CLEVELAND VILLAGE HONDA, CLEVELAND TENNESSEE ON JUNE 24, 1995. THE CAR HAD SLIGHTLY OVER 6,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DRIVEN BY THE SERVICE MANAGER.*AK

WHILE DRIVING A MALFUNCTION OCCURRED WITHIN THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT CAUSED VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SEDAN, COUPE AND WAGON PASSENGER VEHICLES EXCEPT THE DX MODEL AND MODELS WITH V6 ENGINES. THE FACTORY INSTALLED AIR CONDITIONER WIRE HARNESS WAS IMPROPERLY ROUTED ALLOWING SOME WIRES TO RUB AGAINST EACH OTHER, EVENTUALLY CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE SHORT CIRCUIT CANPOSSIBLY CAUSE THE UNDERHOOD WIREING TO OVERHEAT AND SMOKE, CAUSING A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A SHORT CIRCUIT CAN ALSO RESULT IN A BLOWN FUSE OR DEAD BATTERY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR PROPER ROUTING OF THESE WIRES. ANY HARNESS IMPROPERLY ROUTED WILL BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE AND THE ROUTING WILL BE CORRECTED. IF ANY INSULATION IS WORN THROUGH AND THE COPPER WIRES ARE EXPOSED, THE HARNESS WILL BE REPLACED. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL PLASTIC TUBING TO PROTECT THE HARNESS.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS TYPE OF UNANTICIPATED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN ABRASION TO THE HANDS, ARMS, OR FACE OF A PROPERLY-POSITIONED FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT, OR COULD CAUSE MORE SERIOUS INJURY TO AN OUT-OF-POSITION OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IN THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.
