IT SEEMS THAT THE IGNITION FAILIURE IS COMMON ON ALL 1990 TO 1993 HONDA MODELS. SUCH FAILIURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUSE AND CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT HAD IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, BECAUSE ONCE THE IGNITION FAILS THE CAR JUST DIES. NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND MAYBE FORCE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL. NHTSA SHOULD NOT WAIT FOR A HIGH NUMBER OF FATALITIES IN ORDER TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.*AK
