I JUST REPLACE THE BATTERY 07/26/2013 I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR ONTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THEY KEEP IT OVERNIGHT AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP AFTER 5 DAYS IT WILL STALL AGAIN, I AM TRYING TO CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER IN DIAMOND HONDA GLENDALE AND THEY SAID MANAGER IS ON VACATION. I CALLED CORPORATE OVER HONDA IN TORRANCE CA. ACCORDING TO THE CASE MANAGER WHO WILL HANDLING MY CASE THEY WILL DO FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

THIS LETTER IS A FOLLOW-UP TO HONDA REGARDING A LETTER I HAD SUBMITTED ON FEBRUARY 26, 2014. JUNE 10, 2014 I WAS CONTACTED BY A HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE REGARDING THE LETTER OUTLINED BELOW AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FROM HONDA DESPITE SAFETY CONCERNS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH IGNITION/IGNITERS WITH HONDA CRVS (ESPECIALLY THE 98 CRV WHICH INCLUDED A RECALL IN 2002 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE) AND THAT I CAN GO AHEAD AND REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $200 PLUS LABOR (FOR A KNOWN DEFECT). I HAD THIS WORK DONE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES AS THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WILL RESTART AFTER SITS. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT NOT ONLY DO I DRIVE ON OPEN HIGHWAYS BUT MY DAUGHTER DRIVES AS WELL. IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT EVENTS WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES, I WOULD ASK THAT MY SITUATION BE GIVEN ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION. *TR
