NHTSA Complaint #761646 — 1997 HONDA ACCORD

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STALLED (NO POWER) WITHOUT WARNING. THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN THREE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE BEING REPAIRED. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY IGNITION WAS BAD ON THE LAST VISIT (THE MECHANIC HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR). NO PROBLEM EXCEPT THAT I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM STARTING THE CAR, EVEN AFTER HAVING TO START THE CAR AND MOVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP ON THE DAY OF THE REPAIR. WHEN I INITIALLY DECLINED THE REPAIR SOLUTION (UNBELIEVABLE) I ASKED TO TALK TO THE MANAGER. THE MANAGER NEVER SPOKE TO ME BUT DID ADJUST THE PRICE DOWN BETTER THAN $50 AND MADE THE REPAIR WITHOUT MY CONSENT. I PAID RELUCTANTLY INFORMING THEM THAT IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THEIR HANDS. I THOUGHT ONLY TO USE THE INTERNET TO FIND IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITHOUT HAVING BEEN RECALLED. SOMEONE MAY HAVE LOST LOST THEIR LIFE OR WILL LOOSE THEIR LIFE. MY CAR HAS NOT STALLED SINCE BEING REPAIRED. MY LAST THREE CARS WERE HONDA ACCORDS. I DON'T THINK FUTURE PURCHASES WILL BE.*AK
