Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND JUST YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER A TEN MILE RANGE. MY CAR STALLS IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING, IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT 55 MILES PER HOUR WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. MY CAR STALLS, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, AND I HAVE TO COAST WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STEER ONTO THE SIDE OF WHATEVER ROAD I AM TRAVELING ON. THEN I HAVE TO TRY TO START THE CAR, SOMETIMES THIS CAN TAKE UP TO 5 MINUTES. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND A PERSONAL MECHANIC AND BOTH TELL ME THAT I NEED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR 1998 HONDA ACCORDS, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RANGE, SO I AM NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE MY OWN CAR KILLS ME, WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE FROM THE GET GO. I HAVE A 1998 HONDA THAT IS BEHAVING AS THE CARS YOU DESCRIBE FOR THIS LIMITED RECALL. FIX IT PLEASE! *TR
