NHTSA Complaint #10452591 — 1999 HONDA ACCORD

OVER THE LAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE CAR SUDDENLY TURNING OFF....NO RPM'S, NO SPEED...WHILE I AM STILL IN DRIVE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). IN VIEWING VARIOUS WEBSITES, THIS IS NOW BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE...AND IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALTHOUGH HEADLIGHTS STILL WORK, POWER STEERING IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE...SO I MUST HURRIEDLY SHIFT INTO N TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT INTERSECTIONS, ON THE HIGHWAY (AT 70 MPH) AND WHILE GOING 20 MPH. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED ON THE IGNITION FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IN/AROUND 2002-2003. I RECEIVED THIS LATE...BUT DID GO TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT REPLACED IN 2009 (HONDA RECALL #02V120000). AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM RECENTLY, I HAVE GONE ONLINE TO SEE COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS....EVEN AFTER HAVING THE RECALL FILLED. EVIDENTLY, THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN FAILING...OR IT WAS NOT THE FIX TO BEGIN WITH. THIS HAS WAS A VERY POPULAR MODEL..AND THERE ARE SURE TO BE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE ON THE ROAD...ABOUT TO RUN INTO SOMETHING WHEN THE POWER FAILS. I AM GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS RESOLVED...BUT IT IS INCUMBENT UPON YOUR ORGANIZATION TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REVIEWED..AND A SOLUTION AVAILABLE...ASAP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS....I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A FRIGHTENING PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. THANK YOU. *JS
