Consumer Description

MY CAR UNDERWENT THE IGNITION SWITCH INTERLOCK RECALL IN 2002. BUT THIS IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND AGAIN IN 2011, THE SWITCH FAILED. MY CAR STALLED A FEW TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AND I WAS IN GREAT DANGER OF BEING IN A ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM WAS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF THE ENGINE AND IF I PUT IT BACK IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT WOULD START FINE. HONDA KNEW ABOUT THE FAULTY SWITCH REPLACED AND NOW IS RECOMMENDING A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION AT THE OWNERS COST. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR AT MY EXPENSE TO A NEARBY MECHANIC AND SPEND MY MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF HONDA FIXING THE FAULTY COMPONENT. *TR
