NHTSA Complaint #769703 — 2002 HONDA CR-V

THE REASON FOR THIS REPORT IS THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. MY ENGINE JUST DIED AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. I COASTED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT IN A FASTER LANE OF THIS FOUR LANE INTERSTATE, AS THIS COULD HAVE VERY WELL CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. AFTER I WAS STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER MY IGNITION WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. I TRIED TO RESTART MY ENGINE AND IT STARTED SO I PROCEEDED ON. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER PLUS TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND POSSIBLY BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED AN AUTOMOTIVE WEBSITE FORUM AND NOTICED A FEW OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEIR DEALERS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, EITHER. HAS ANYONE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA BEFORE? DT
