NHTSA Complaint #10263980 — 1999 HONDA ACCORD

SINCE 2006 THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING (RPM'S DROP TO ZERO AND CAR TURNS OFF) STARTED BY STALLING WHILE ON THE FREEWAY BUT WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP WITHIN SECONDS WOULD HAPPEN ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS. RECENTLY, THE PROBLEM HAS ACCURED EVERYDAY SOME TIME 3 TIMES A DAY. I COULD BE AT A COMPLETE STOP OR ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CARS' RPM'S JUST DROP AND ALL THE LIGHTS BATTERY LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, DOOR AND TRUCK LIGHT TURNS ON BUT THE RADIO AND A/C STAY ON. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN RUN OVER BY OTHER MOTORIST TRYING TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. I CONTACTED HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON MY CAR AND TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH. SO I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TUMBLER FOR THE KEY HAD BEEN RECALLED AND WAS REPLACED BACK IN 2003. I BOUGHT A NEW KEY AS THE OLD KEY WAS WORN AND THE CAR DID NOT STALL FOR OVER 2 MONTHS BUT YESTEDAY CAR STALLED OVER 3 TIMES. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSITIC DONE WHICH SAID IT IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH MY MECHANIC SAYS IS TOTALLY UNREALATED TO THE STALLING PROBLEM. BUT I PLAN TO HAVE A NEW ONE INSTALLED SOON. I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS STALLING PROBLEM FIXED IMMEDIATELY AS THIS IS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE ME OR MY SON TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND BE INJURIED OR EVEN KILLED. AND BASED ON THE INTERNET FORUMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA AND HONDA HEADQUARTERS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY PLAN ON DOING ANY THING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
