NHTSA Complaint #10371133 — 2002 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS DRIVING FROM SAN DIEGO TO MY HOUSE IN RIVERSIDE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND WITH NO WARNING ALL POWER SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NOTHING EXCEPT OTHER CARS GOING AT LEAST 70 ON THE 15 FREEWAY. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO THE SLOW LANE AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT. MY MECHANIC DID PROCESS OF ELIMINATION AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ECU. WE TOWED IT TO THE SHOP WHERE REPAIRS WERE GOING TO BE MADE AND THE SHOP SAID MAYBE BEFORE YOU PUT THAT MUCH MONEY INTO IT I'LL HAVE MY AUTO ELECTRICAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT FIRST. SO COME TO FIND OUT THE MAIN WIRE THAT LEADS OFF OF THE ENGINE BLOCK SNAPPED RIGHT OFF. MAY CAR HAD TO BE RE-WIRED! TALK ABOUT A PRETTY PENNY. $900 BUCKS. *TR
