1999 Honda Civic

MY CAR SIMPLY SHUTS OFF. IT SOMETIMES CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP AND OTHER TIMES IT REMAINS OFF. THE CAR TURNS OFF AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. NO CRASH OCCURRED. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A HONDA DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS AN IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. I FOUND A RECALL RELATED TO THE ISSUE FOR 1999 HONDA CIVICS. HOWEVER HONDA REFUSED TO REPLACE MINE. *TR

TL*- THE MANIFOLD OF A 1999 HONDA CIVIC WAS CRACKED, AND THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN THE MODEL YEARS: 1996 TO 1998. THE MANIFOLD'S CRACKWAS NEAR THE OXYGEN SENSOR. THE CONTACT CALLED HONDA CORPORATION ,WHO STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEY WOULD NOT SPEAK WITH HER. SHE SHOULD CALL AMERICA HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS. SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEMS THAT SHE WAS HAVING WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC LX 4 DOOR VEHICLE ON A RETURN TRIP FROM BIRMINGHAM, AL TO ATLANTA, GA AND ABOUT 45 MINUTES INTO MY RETURN TRIP THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THAT ALTHOUGH THE 1/3 OF THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE IT DID NOT BLOW OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AN EXIT SAFELY. I THEN PROCEEDED TO A WALMART TIRE REPLACEMENT CENTER WHERE I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN IF THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME HE HAD SEEN THIS ISSUE WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AND THAT THE OTHER TIRE THAT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPLACEMENT HAD ONLY BEEN ON THE CAR FOR A FEW WEEKS (MY TIRE WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD). I CONTACTED FIRESTONE TO INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD ONLY TAKE ACTION IF I COULD MAIL THEM THE TIRE. I PROVIDED FIRESTONE THE CONTACT NUMBER FOR THE TIRE SHOP WHERE THEY COULD OBTAIN THE TIRE IF NEEDED FOR ANALYSIS (FIRESTONE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN OBTAINING THE TIRE). THE TIRE THAT WAS INVOLVED WAS AN FR 680.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A DEFECTIVE CVT TYPE TRANSMISSION. COMPLAINED TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IF I PAID $504 IN LABOR COSTS. ONE YEAR LATER THE TRANSMISSION DIED AGAIN, I NOW BELIEVE THEY ONLY FLUSHED OUT THE OLD TRANSMISSION I DOUBT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I COMPLAINED AGAIN AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT COST $80 JUST FOR THEM CHECK THE COMPUTER WHICH HAS BEEN DONE TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUSLY WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. HAD THE COMPUTER REPLACED AFTER SPLITTING THE COST WITH AMERICAN HONDA SO IT COST ME $396. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON, I WENT TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND HAD THE COMPUTER CODES READ FOR FREE THEY SAID IT WAS A MALFUNCTIONING O2 SENSOR, NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ANOTHER $260 EACH SENSOR PLUS LABOR TO CHANGE BOTH SENSORS. *JB
