| On five separate occasions auto completely lost all power. three of these incidents occurred on main road streets, two occurred at about 65 mph on the freeway. i had it towed in each occasion, to different repair shops since i broke down in 5 different locations. after describing this incident to a repair shop, the owner said that honda has a recall out on ignition wire which is the continuous cause of this problem. how do i go about having honda fix this problem for the recall. it has already cost me 5 tows, 5 mis-repairs, and almost a freeway crash. thank you for your time. | |||

| My car came to a stop going up a ramp after it began jerking. i had the car towed and repaired at my expense because it was no longer under warranty. approximately 4 months later it happened again, it was the coil in the distributor and the driveshaft was bent both times. i had the car repaired, but was urged to contact honda to find if there was an open recall i was told by shockley honda that there was no recall, this was in 1996. since then, my car has had thhe exact same repair 5 more times, and it broke down again yesterday. i called herson's honda and was told that was a recall approx 5 years ago. i called shockley to make an appt to have it repaired, instead of getting an appt i was told you're just now getting around to getting this fixed? and why didn't you bring it in when you got the recall in the mail? if i had gotten the recall, surely i would not have spent thousands in towing, parts and labor. i was then told that they didn't know how to contact me. if i was still paying on that vehicle, i am positive that i could have been conntacted. i financed the vehicle through the dealership. this is a total of 8 times, exact same problem, and has gotten to the point that it i was told that it may not be able to be repaired. now i have no vehicle, i was never notified of the recall, and when i asked about the recall i was told there was no recall! now what i am suppose to do? *ak | |||

(intermittent current in run position) from a brief web search, i find that this is a very common honda problem. potentially hazardous. car will stall unexpectedly at it's own discretion. *jb | |||
