NHTSA Complaint #10272670 — 1999 HONDA ACCORD

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, TIMING BELT, EXHAUST, AND OTHER COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED IN HOPES THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE CORRECTED. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE AT MORE THAN $3,000 BY AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH WAS CAUSING THE STALLING. IF THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND SLIGHTLY TOUCHED, THE IGNITION WOULD STALL. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 160,000.
