Consumer Description

CAR ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL IN 2004 WHICH REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR IS A 1999 ACURA 3.2TL. I CALLED HONDA RECENTLY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS A ONE-TIME FIX ONLY. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE SWITCH WAS IN FACT REPLACED AND IF IT WAS REPLACED WHY IS IT FAILING? CONVERSATIONS WITH AUTO MECHANICS INDICATE THE SWITCH SHOULD NEVER FAIL IF THE DESIGN IS SOUND. SINCE JUNE 22, 2009, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED A NUMBER OF TIMES. I ONLY RECENTLY DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. *TR
