ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
06/09/20082550001
 I have a 95 honda civic vx i purchased new from the local dealer here in austin texas. for the past couple of weeks my car would stall out on the highway and a couple of times around town for no reason at all, but would come back on a few seconds later. today as i write this message i am waiting for a tow truck to come get me and my honda civic from the side of the road. my car finally died out today with the same symptoms as above but this time the car wouldn't start again. i can get the car to run if i only manually release the ignition key a little before the on position. if i let the key go all the way back to on to the normal on position the car will not start. i notice the dash lights don't come on either when in the on position, but if i wiggle the key manually back and forth from the on position the dash light will come on. i'm going to the honda dealer tomorrow to get them to pay for my tow and the switch. while on line researching problem i came across this honda service bulletin http://www.visualimpressions.ca/switch/... this is a very very scary thing have your car die on you for no reason... honda should have notified every honda driver about this issue !! john *tr

 1995 honda just purchased used. after purchase, noticed broken welds on body (both sides of vehicle) where doors attach to vehicle body. went to honda service, but service tech had no answer, was no assistance. also asked about 5/1999 tech bulletin from amer. honda to install airbag switch (child rides in front of car) - service tech said not aware of bulletin, did not offer assistance. asked service tech why oil dipstick prematurely rusting-off, on top (every del-sol i've seen has this problem... rust could eventually go into engine crankcase) but service tech had no explanation, did not offer assistance. the first 2 problems could lead to personal injury, and the 3rd problem could lead to engine failure.*ak
