CAR DIED WHEN PULLING FROM STOP, HAD PREVIOUSLY DIED WHEN GOING 20 MPH. FIRST TIME DEALER SAID NO WAY TO CHECK. THIS TIME ANOTHER DEALER CHECKING AND SAID IDLE WAS LOW. CAR NOT PART OF IGINITION RECALL BUT VERY SAME SYMPTONS. WHEN CAR WS LESS THAN 1 YR OLD, TOOK TO DEALER FOR SOMEWHAT SIMILAR PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT KEYCHAIN MAY HAVE INTERFERRED WITH IGNITION. MADE DETAILED REPORT OF PROBLEM AT THE DEALER. HAD 1990 HONDA CIVIC DIE ON FREEWAY, HAD 49,000 MILE ON CAR. WAS A SWITCH AND UNDER WARRANTY.VERY CONCERNED THAT I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS FAR TOO COMMON WITH HONDA. WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT EVER BUYING ONE AGAIN. HAD 1980 HONDA THAT STALLED AT RED LIGHTS BUT CAR SO OLD -ABOUT 140,000 MILE THAT I JUST TRADED IT IN.
