Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE DASH WENT TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN FOLLOWED BY ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING AND THE ENGINE RESTARTING. THIS CYCLE WAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES OVER AN APPROXIMATE FIVE MILE STRETCH. SHEDDING THE ELECTRICAL LOADS DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED ON OTHER OCCASIONS BUT IS VERY INTERMITTENT. NOW THE ENGINE IS DEVELOPING A STARTING PROBLEM. THE VAN STARTS BUT DIES IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU RELEASE THE KEY. IT SOMETIMES TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE VAN WILL REMAIN RUNNING ONCE THE KEY IS RELEASED. I FOUND A RECALL FROM HONDA FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WAS TO BE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED ISSUE FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. I CONTACTED STERLING MCCALL HONDA IN KINGWOOD, TX TO HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VAN HAS THE NEW STYLE SWITCH ALREADY INSTALLED SO THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY SWITCH. OBVIOUSLY THE NEW SWITCH THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE SWITCHES UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO DESIGN A SWITCH THAT REMEDIES THEIR DESIGN FLAW. *TR
