Consumer Description

MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. INCIDENT WOULD HAPPEN ANYTIME, ANY DAY, WEATHER CONDITION, ON ANY ROAD (HIGHWAY, INTERSTATES, ETC). HAS HAPPENS OVER 100 TIMES. I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, OR EVEN STOP THE BRAKES. EVERYTHING FAILED ON HUGE ROADS AND INTERSECTIONS WHERE MY CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE IN FRONT OF A WHOLE LANE OF TRAFFIC. ENDED UP FINDING OUT THAT THERE WAS RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. I CALLED A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN SERVICED. IT "WAS". I REPLACED THE PART MYSELF AND NOW MY CAR HAS HAD A COUPLE GOOD TRIPS. BUT IF I WOULD OF TAKEN IT TO HONDA, THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME WHICH IS RIDICULOUS, EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD OF RECALLED IT TWICE LIKE OTHER PEOPLE I READ ABOUT. *TR
