1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAD ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED IN 2002. I ASKED WHY WASN'T IT REPLACED WITH A SWITCH THAT WAS OF NEWER DESIGN AND WAS TOLD AGAIN THAT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF THEY REPLACE A RECALLED ITEM WITH AN ITEM OF THE SAME DEFECTIVE DESIGN THEN ARE THEY HONORING THE RECALL? I WOULD SAY NO, THEY ARE ONLY MASKING THE PROBLEM WITHOUT FIXING IT. *TR
