GOOD AFTERNOON, I HAVE A 1999 HONDA CIVIC LX, WHEN I'M DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT OR IDLING AT A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE JUST DIES FOR NO REASON. YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING CONTROL AND POWER BRAKES, ETC. THIS TOO ME IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD QUITE POSSIBLY GET ME (OR MY TEENS WHO DRIVE IT) REAR ENDED OR CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL, CRASH AND BE KILLED. I HAVE CONFIRMED (FROM HONDA) THAT MY ELECTRICAL IGNITION SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND IT IS SHUTTING OFF BY ITSELF DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SWITCH, CAUSE; HONDA) THERE IS TOO MUCH POWER GOING THROUGH THE SWITCH. (I CAN ACTUALLY REMOVE MY KEY WHILE I'M DRIVING.) THERE IS A RECALL BY HONDA ON THIS SWITCH WHICH WAS POSTED IN MAY 2002 FOR ALL HONDA CIVICS FROM 1997 TO 2001. ALL CIVICS WERE BUILT IN CANADA AT THAT TIME.1,000,000 WERE RECALLED. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ( MY VIN # NOT IN THE RECALL, IN CANADA IT WAS ALL CARS RECALLED). HONDA REPS TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL. I HAVE THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS IN THE RECALL. IN CANADA, THEY RECALLED AND REPAIRED EVERY SINGLE CAR IN THAT COUNTRY. WHY NOT MY CAR? BECAUSE IT WAS SENT INTO THE USA? I'M FILING A MAJOR SAFETY COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA USA AND I WANT MY CAR FIXED BY THEM. THE COST IS $ 153.00 FOR THE SWITCH AND 195.00 FOR LABOR. I'M READY TO ELEVATE THIS COMPLAINT IF NECESSARY, NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC IF YOU DIRECT ME TO DO THIS. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO OWN A HONDA CIVIC FOR THOSE YEARS, HAVE A BAD SWITCH BUT, THEIR VIN # ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HOPE NOBODY DIES BEFORE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM ITS FIXED. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!! YOU GUYS AT THE NHTSA ARE AWESOME!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!! *TR

A TOTAL IGNITION CUTOFF HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC EX. THE CAR HAS 151K MILES.IT HAS CUTOFF ON THE FWY AT 65MPH.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED,ETC. CANADA HONDA HAS A RECALL FOR 97 THRU 2001 ACCORDS,CIVICS,CRVS TO REPLACE FAULTY ELECTRICAL SWITCH ON THE KEYLOCK.:USA HONDA IS NOT DOING THIS RECALL,WHY NOT? I WOULD THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THOSE THAT EXPERIENCE THIS DANGEROUS OCCURENCE. I VISITED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER W THIS PROBLEM, THE SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. ALL CIVICS ARE BUILT IN CANADA AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TYPE OS ELECTRICAL ASSY ATTACHED TO THE KEY ASSY.
