| Due to an investigation by the nhtsa honda is recalling some of their vehicles for faulty ignition interlocks. my vehicle is not included in this recall but does have this exact problem. the keys will come out of the ignition when the car is not in park. i have had a couple of incidences where my car has rolled away but i've been able to get in and stop it before it has struck anything. this is dangerous. i have talked to honda but they will not fix the ignition interlock in my car since it is not included in the recall. i feel that since they are recalling some models for this safety concern they should be responsible to replace the ignition interlock my vehicle as well. is there anything nhtsa can do to help with this issue? *tr | |||

| 1997 honda accord coupe, 2.2l, dx trim ignition switch failure. fiance' and her daughter were driving this vehicle when the engine just died, no power, no warning light illuminations, etc. vehicle did/does restart at this time. this is identical to the honda campaign recall #02v120000 which covers some hondas of this year/model. i contacted honda and was basically blown off... sorry, this recall doesn't cover your particular vehicle's vin. failure occurs frequently, at random, no particular indicators that it was going to happen. consequences could be fatal if this fault occurred in an intersection, while passing another vehicle, etc. because honda would not make safe their faulty ignition switch, i replaced the switch at my expense at approximately $60/part, plus my time. honda charges $211 to repair this, so the total repair cost with my parts/labor is $211. i did not save the part unfortunately, not thinking of notifying you until too late. the final dying that ocurred on 9/18/2010 was the last straw. it would be great if others suffering from this obvious fault could be reimbursed or prevented from having to deal with this issue. | |||

| I had to split up my complaint because of the size restriction on the description field. in addition to the ignition coil problem described below i have also had problems with the srs system, abs system, wireless entry system, air conditioner, and the auto door locks (all of which are described in another complaint). for a long time the tachometer behaved randomly. it would surge then fall to zero. for periods of time it behaved normally. there was no pattern to the behavior. initially the engine performance was nominal. over time the engine began surging and stalling, not necessarily in rhythm with the tachometer, nor exhibiting such behavior when the tach was acting up. again there was no obvious pattern. finally the check engine light came on referencing a transmission code that referred to the ignition coil. interestingly once the code was cleared the check engine light when out and did not illuminate for some time. the next time it illuminated it eventually turned itself out. i finally took the car to the detailer. the dealer said that the ignition coil was not talking to the tach and the computer could not read the engine idle speed. consequently it was recommended to replace the ignition coil as it evidently had an electrical failure. i am still researching this problem, but it appears that other owners have had experiences with their 1997 honda accords' engines surging and stalling and in some cases causing accidents. this is definitely not safe and definitely unacceptable. as i mentioned before, i am through with honda!!!!! *tr | |||

| I have several complaints: 1) the srs light came on. the dealer claimed that i needed a new computer at a cost of $900. i researched possible problems on this and other websites and had listed the technical service bulletins that were relevant. the dealer was not so thorough. my research showed that honda had been having problem with these computers already for several years and done nothing about it. the problem was with a sensor on the passenger side air bag which was malfunctioning in such a way as to leave in doubt whether or not the air bag would deploy. it is ridiculous that consumers have to pay nearly 1,000.00 to fix systemic problems in a safety system that have repeatedly not been addressed. 2) my abs light started coming on. when starting the engine the pump motor for the abs system would activate and attempt to pump fluid in the system. it could be heard from inside the car as a grinding noise. it would cycle on and off for about 6 or so times then the relay would trip, turn off motor and illuminate the abs light. the dealer claimed that the ams module was malfunctioning and needed replacement at a cost of 1,700.00. ridiculous. after doing some research online it seems that this is also a common failure for this make and model of car. 3) wireless entry system failed. 4) a/c evaporator sprung a leak 5) driver side passenger door auto lock does not work. this car is far from reliable, as advertised to be, and very questionable in the safety department. i am finished with honda! *tr | |||

| A couple of months back i read about a recall on various honda and acura vehicles with regard to an ignition switch problem in consumer reports. the recall affected some 19'97 models, but 1998 and newer accords. i own a '97 accord that is experiencing the same problem. i contacted a local dealer and after almost 3 weeks of aggravating phone calls redirecting me to everyone from the corporate office to the janitor, i was denied inclusion in the recall. some of the excuses were that my vehicle has too many miles on it to be included, that i don't maintain a service relationship with any particular dealer, and that it may just be my key has worn out (both of them at the same time?). i was wondering if it is customary to make such arbitrary decisions when determining inclusion in a safety recall. all those factors listed do not change the fact that my car can roll away after i remove my key. *ak | |||

| I drove to a restaurant about one mile from my house and parked nose-in to a curb in a parking lot. i placed the car in first gear, as always, and engaged the emergency brake. as i and my three companions left the car, i clicked the remote keyless lock, as i usually do. after dinner, we came out to return home. my husband was to drive back, so i again used my remote keyless entry clicker and the car unlocked. my husband held open the passenger-side front door for me, and i sat in the front seat, the clicker in my hand, but no button activated. before my husband could shut the door, the car started (note: no key in the ignition), and climbed the curb in front. it stalled, then started again and continued up and over the bushes in front. i was the only one in the car. there was no key in the ignition. i was on the passenger side of the front seat. the car does not have a remote ignition. the car is a manual transmission. the emergency brake was still on. the front bumper of the car separated as we backed off the bush.*ak | |||

| While driving on the highway the car stalled (no power) without warning. this occurred several times between three visits to the dealership before being repaired. i was informed that my ignition was bad on the last visit (the mechanic had trouble starting the car). no problem except that i never had a problem starting the car, even after having to start the car and move it at the dealership on the day of the repair. when i initially declined the repair solution (unbelievable) i asked to talk to the manager. the manager never spoke to me but did adjust the price down better than $50 and made the repair without my consent. i paid reluctantly informing them that if this happened again they have a serious problem on their hands. i thought only to use the internet to find if this was a common problem without having been recalled. someone may have lost lost their life or will loose their life. my car has not stalled since being repaired. my last three cars were honda accords. i don't think future purchases will be.*ak | |||

| Heared a loud banging noise under the shift lever while driving 40+ mph accelerating onto the interstate. after several days, car stalled while turning corner. experienced sluggish and intermittent loss of power (with frequent stalling driving betweeen 10 to 65 mph on residential area or on a highway). honda service technician removed and replaced the ignition coil & main relay, and advised me to disconnect a non-honda car theft alarm system for further troubleshooting of the ignition system. problem got worst after disconnecting car theft alarm system. car lost power, (sometimes power comes back on when foot was lift off the gas pedal), more than 15 times within 8 miles of driving at 4:30am and had difficulty restarting. experienced hard start later that day at 3:30pm. today, christmas day, i disconnected the battery, cleaned the terminals, checked the wires under the dashboard for cut or loose connections, reconnect the battrey, test drived, and car stalled with some weird noise (like a noise made by an electrical component lossing power) by front/lower of the front passenger floor. this problem had already cost me a little over $500.00 and i just don't have that kind of money to spend just to guess what will correct the problem. *ak | |||

| Concerning the iginition switch recall on honda vehicles - why should consumers be made to pay almost one hundred dollars to have an alarm system rewired for the vehicle??? the recall was not the fault of the consumer, and honda dealerships are charging exorbitant prices to have the alarm system rewired. even if the alarm is not a honda part, the 1997 model did not come with an alarm, so obviously one had to be bought, and if the honda has to remove the wires because of their recall, then there should be no reason to have to pay such high fees to have those wires replaced.*ak | |||
