NHTSA Complaint #10048802 — 2000 HONDA CIVIC

I TOOK MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP A YEAR AGO TO SEE WHY MY CAR WOULD STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS AND I'M CONCERNED OF A CRASH. DEALERSHIP RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND COULD NOT FIND A THING WRONG. SINCE THEN MY VEHICLE STILLS STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON MAYBE ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS. USUALLY I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 02V120000. I CALLED HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR SO MY COMPLAINT IS HONDA'S VEHICLE NUMBER SCOPE NEEDS TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE SO I CAN SAFELY DRIVE WITHOUT FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL STALL AND CAUSE A CRASH.
