Consumer Description

I HAVE A 99 HONDA ACCORD IN WHICH THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND REALIZED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART AND TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE ALTERNATOR BUT THE MECHANIC SAID NO BECAUSE THE LIGHT WOULD HAVE COME ON. HE SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THESE IN 2003. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BECAUSE HONDA SAID MY SWITCH WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AS THE SWITCH WITH THE RECALL. I CALLED HONDA TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND TO FIND OUT WHY THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO LITTLE GIRLS WHO RIDE IN THIS CAR WHICH BY THE WAY IS MY ONLY CAR AND WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
