FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH...RECURRENT INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. FAILS TO START. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OFF AND ON FOR YEARS. SOMETIMES THE KEY SENSOR SENSES A KEY IN THE IGNITION WHEN A KEY ISN'T INSERTED, THUS A BEEPING SOUND WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED EVEN IF THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION. CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE HAS AN IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. ONCE THE KEY IS RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT A STORE ONCE AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED. THE MECHANIC INITIALLY THOUGHT THERE WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION ON THE BATTERY, BUT HE LATER DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS A SWITCH ISSUE. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 1997 ACCORDS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS SAME FAILURE, BUT NOT THE 1996 ACCORDS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 185,000. UPDATED 6/8/09 *CN UPDATED 06/11/09.*JB

IT BEGAN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO INTERMITTENTLY. THE CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING FOR NO REASON. IT WOULD START UP AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM. NOW, THE CAR WILL ONLY RUN WHILE HOLDING THE KEY BETWEEN THE RUN AND START POSITION. AS WHEN IT BEGAN HAPPENING, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN GEAR OR NOT, SITTING IDLE OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *JB
