Consumer Description

2002 HONDA CIVIC LX THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WITH NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, BUT ALL OTHER OPTIONS WORK-RADIO,A/C, LIGHTS, ETC. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR 10-20 MINUTES THE CAR FIRES UP AS NOTHING IS WRONG AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS (500 MILES OF DRIVING) 142,000 MILES ON CAR. I HAVE REPLACED COIL PACKS, RELAYS AND FUEL PUMP. I BELIEVE, AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH JUST LIKE THE 1997-2000 HONDA RECALL ON 3.3 MILLION HONDA PRODUCTS IN MAY 2002. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SAFELY GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT 70 MPH (COASTING). I WILL BE REPLACING MY IGNITION SWITCH TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ASAP.. *TR
