Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD (3 MONTHS OLD/4,000 MI) THE ENGINE CUT OFF. THE RADIO STILL PLAYED. THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, STATED THAT IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE AND I MUST CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IS. HONDA AMERICA CONCURRED AS DID A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND DO NOT WANT TO RISK MY LIFE, OR THE LIVES OF OTHERS, WITH A CAR THAT MAY SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING.*AK
