Consumer Description

MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD LX IS RANDOMLY TURNING OFF WHILE I AM STOPPED, OR WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT NEVER OCCURS AT ANY CERTAIN TIME OR SPEED. I HAVE MANY THINGS REPLACED IN THE CAR AND NOTHING HAS FIXED IT. I HAD A RECALL DONE ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT STILL DID IT. I TALKED WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE MAIN RELAY SYSTEM ARE NOTORIOUS FOR GOING OUT, SO I TOOK A CHANCE SINCE IT WAS ONLY 65 DOLLARS AND REPLACED IT AND IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. I HAD READ ON MANY FORUMS FROM TONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE MY CAR COULD BE DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY GOING 65 AND IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP AND I HAD TO FORCE MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS WRECK WHICH COULD LEAD TO FATALITIES IF IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR. *TR
