CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. HAVE TO WAIT 5 TO 10 MINUTES TO RESTART. MECHANIC TRIED SEVERAL REPAIRS AND FINALLY CONCLUDED IT'S A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. NHTSA RECALL # 02V-120. TODAY, I ALMOST GOT HIT AND PARKED IT UNTIL PROBLEM IS FIXED. LUCKY TO HAVE A BACKUP CAR. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE SAID THEY WON'T FIX IT, BECAUSE IT HAS 220 MILES. I WANT HONDA TO ACT RESPONSIBLY AND FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM IS A RECIPE FOR ROADS DISASTERS ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE MULTIPLE CARS OR JUST TAKING IT FOR GRANTED. TODAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR HURT AN INNOCENT PERSON .I AM SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF HONDA OWNERS STRUGGLING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FEAR TO COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS WITH THIS SCARY PROBLEM AND JUST DRIVING AS IF EVERYTHING IS OK. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THIS, THE WHOLE TRUTH IS UNKNOWN.

DURING 2000 (EST) I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH.AND GET A NEW SET OF KEYS I THINK I PAID ABOUT $800 I NEVER RECEIVE ANY RECALL NOTICE UNTIL THIS YEAR MY MECHANIC CHECK AND HE SAID MY CAR HAD RECALL. .I FURTHER REFER TO INTERNET THAT SOME CAR WERE REPAIRED FREE IN CHANGING IGNITION SWITCH. IN THIS REGARD I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY CAR IS A RECALL IN SPITE OF SAME PROBLEM.WITH OTHER CARS THANK YOU, JAIME

THE CAR WOULD NOT START, IT CRANKED AND TRIED TO TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO BE PUSHED HOME BY NEIGHBOR.
