WAS PASSING A CAR ON A RURAL ROAD AND THE VEHICLE JUST DIED THEN RESTARTED LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR COMING BUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD LATER I FOUND OUT THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT DOES NOT AFFECT MY VIN NUMBER WELL... I SAY IT DOES! *TR

1999 HONDA ACCORD LX 4-DOOR SEDAN VEHICLE HAS AN UNWARRANTED ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVER TRIED TO SLOW IT DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION. SPECIFICALLY, THE DRIVER HIT THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A LARGE TREE. POLICE REPORTED THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE BRAKES WERE STILL DEPRESSED AND BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON BEFORE BEING TOWED AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT SCENE. *TR

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING... GOING 70MPH OR GOING 15MPH. ENGINE CLICKS OFF, LIGHTS STILL WORK BUT CAR ENGINE IS NO LONGER RUNNING. *TR

STARTING IN APRIL OF 2010, MY CAR STARTED STALLING AT "RANDOM" TIMES; THERE WAS NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT AND NO NOTICEABLE ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS. THE CAR WOULD SIMPLY STALL OR COMPLETELY CUT OUT ON ME IN AN INSTANT, WHETHER I WAS IDLING, STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MOST COMMONLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY IN TRAFFIC, BUT THREE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. MOST OFTEN AFTER IT STALLED AND I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT WOULD START AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, IT WAS ALSO COMMON FOR THE CAR TO STALL AND FOR IT TO TAKE 5-6 TRIES FOR IT TO RESTART. THIS STALLING OCCURRED NEARLY DAILY, MOST OFTEN ONCE BUT SOMETIMES 3-4 TIMES EACH DAY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TWICE, IN MAY AND JUNE 2010, TO HAVE THIS STALLING LOOKED INTO, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE BOTH TIMES TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I FINALLY TOOK IT IN A 3RD TIME ON OCTOBER 11, 2010 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

MY POWER ASSISTED DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT BOTTOM TO THE SEAT BASE HAS FRACTURED BECAUSE OF THE WELD CONDITION OF BRACKET. MY SEAT WELD AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE SEAT BOTTOM NOW CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK WITH NO STABILITY. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR THE PE02072 STATING THAT MY VIN NO. IS NOT IN THE RANGE AND THAT THE TIME PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS WELD FAILURE THAT ODI SHOULD HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD KEEPS STALLING ON ME WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'M ABLE TO RESTART IT AGAIN BUT IT CUTS OFF AGAIN. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT WILL STAY RUNNING BUT WILL STALL AGAIN WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OF A PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE TRYING TO ENTER THE ENTRANCE OF THE FREEWAY. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T HIT FROM BEHIND...VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR WITH YOU. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA DEALER THAT IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH...A $400.00 PLUS COST TO FIX. *TR
