Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED 2000 HONDA CIVIC DX THAT WOULD SPUTTER VERY QUICKLY SPORADICALLY. IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT AS I DROVE IT MORE. NOW IT WILL JUST SHUT DOWN AND HAVE TO SIT BEFORE IT WILL START AGAIN. THIS IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY DAUGHTER AS WE WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT AND HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO US ON THE FREEWAY. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, OR KILLED OTHERS IF THEY WOULD HAVE HIT US IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY! AS I'M FINDING OUT, THERE IS SOME KIND OF UNOFFICIAL RECALL ON THE HONDA'S IGNITION SWITCHES. IS THIS TRUE? WE NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS, AS I HAVE HAD IT PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND IT DOESN'T READ ANY CODES BEING DEFECTIVE.....IT WON'T UNLESS IT'S DOING IT AT THE TIME. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR
