Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC LX AND OUT OF NO WHERE IT STALLED COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. IT ALSO GAVE A LITTLE SHAKE WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL.IT TOOK A FEW IGNITION TURNS BEFORE IT STARTED BACK UP. THIS WAS THE START OF MANY TO COME STALLING OUT OR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL START...IT WON'T START...IT STALLED...IT DID NOT STALL. THE CAR HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. NOW, WE TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO NOT START. IT STARTED EVERYTIME WHILE AT THE SHOP. IN ORDER TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NEED TO NOT START. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS A RESULT OF STALLING OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND AT ANY SPEED WHERE A CRASH IS INEVITABLE. I RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AFTERWARDS TO FIND ANY RECALLS ON IT. SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS. IT HAD A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH CAUSES THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS.....STALLING OUT AND TROUBLE STARTING. I NEVER GOT A LETTER OR MAIL OF ANY KIND STATING THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR'S IGNITION SWITCH. WHY? THERE ALSO IS ONE OTHER RECALL ON THIS CAR, A FUEL TANK THERMAL INSULATOR. NO NOTICE ON THAT RECALL. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THESE FAULTY RECALLS DONE? BEFORE THERE IS A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS MANUFACTURER FAULTY EQUIPMENT.. *TR
