Consumer Description

VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATION. IT MAY START AGAIN OR MAY NOT. MAY NOT RESTART FOR TWENTY TIMES OR MORE, OR LESS. THE ONE VARIABLE THAT REMAINS THE SAME IS THAT IT WILL STALL AT SOME POINT WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. A CRASH IS VERY LIKELY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THAT COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. MAY 16, 2002 CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 02V120000 . HONDA WOULD NOT HONOR RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS A CLOSED RECALL, BUT WILL OPEN IF VIN # SHOWS IT IS ONE OF THE CARS THAT WAS RECALLED. THE CAR SHOWS UP WITH THE RECALL WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON IGNITION SWITCH. MORE ON THE STALLING, IT WOULD STALL ON ANY ROAD, STREET, OR HIGHWAY IN MOTION. EVERY STALL WAS IN MOTION. IF STARTING THE VEHICLE UP FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT MAY OR MAY NOT START THE FIRST TIME OR TWENTY TIMES LATER. STARTED IN 2014. HONDA WOULDN'T FIX IT. NEXT TWO YEARS SAT IN PARKING SPACE. 2017 STARTED TO DRIVE IT AFTER NEW BATTERY, NEW RADIATOR+THERMOSTAT. CAR STILL STALLS IN MOTION. 03/30/2017 TOOK CAR TO HONDA FOR RECALL. SAID CAR VIN # DID NOT SHOW RECALL ON IT THAT THE RECALL WAS CLOSED ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. I ONLY DRIVE ON ROADS THAT HAVE 30MPH LIMITS AND I DON'T LET MY KIDS DRIVE IT. I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A DEATH OR INJURY TO ANYONE WHO MAY CRASH INTO MY CAR.
