| The vehicle stalled intermittently while driving, regardless of speed (the engine, power steering, and dash lights would cut out unexpectedly). i indicated to honda that i believed it could be an ignition switch failure that was covered under a 2002 safety bulletin. they indicated that my vehicle was not covered. my local mechanic fixed the issue that was in fact a faulty ignition switch. honda refused to issue reimbursement for the failed part. | |||

| Good afternoon, i have a 1999 honda civic lx, when i'm driving at the speed limit or idling at a stop sign, the engine just dies for no reason. you lose all power steering control and power brakes, etc. this too me is a major safety issue and could quite possibly get me (or my teens who drive it) rear ended or cause you to lose control, crash and be killed. i have confirmed (from honda) that my electrical ignition system is faulty and it is shutting off by itself due to a defective switch, cause; honda) there is too much power going through the switch. (i can actually remove my key while i'm driving.) there is a recall by honda on this switch which was posted in may 2002 for all honda civics from 1997 to 2001. all civics were built in canada at that time.1,000,000 were recalled. however, my car is not included in the recall ( my vin # not in the recall, in canada it was all cars recalled). honda reps tell me they don't know why my car is not in the recall. i have the same exact symptoms as in the recall. in canada, they recalled and repaired every single car in that country. why not my car? because it was sent into the usa? i'm filing a major safety complaint against honda usa and i want my car fixed by them. the cost is $ 153.00 for the switch and 195.00 for labor. i'm ready to elevate this complaint if necessary, news organizations, etc if you direct me to do this. i hope you can help me and all the people in the usa who own a honda civic for those yeras, have a bad switch but, their vin # isn't included in the recall. i hope nobody dies before this safety problem its fixed. thanks in advance for your help!! you guys at the nhtsa are awesome!! have a great week!! | |||

| Tag # 3434ce, a green honda civic with a male driver was driving down north lake drive in lexington, sc today at approximately 1:30 pm. i was behind that car while he stayed in the left lane proceeding slowly. i remained at about three car-lengths behind this person while he began slamming on his brakes. there was no one in front of him. i tapped the horn as he lost some control over the wheel due to his abrupt stop and attempting to cause an accident. he proceeding to flip the bird out his window towards me. he continued this behavior for at least two or more miles continually stopping every few moments. he would nearly come to a complete stop each time, then pick back up pace after regaining control. i finally passed him and rolled down my window to let him know i was reporting his tag number. the person directly behind me was now behind this civic dealing with that same behavior as it appeared in my rear view mirror. this obscene behavior needs to be dealt with and not tolerated on our roads. | |||
