2000 HONDA CIVIC Electrical Systemignitionswitch Problems

CAR STALLS OUT AFTER HIGHER SPEED DRIVING, USUALLY COMING TO A HARD STOP, REQUIRING ME TO RESTART. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SO IT WAS A BIT SCARY, A SAFETY CONCERN. USUALLY WHILE COMING TO A STOP IS WHEN IT OCCURS EXITING FREEWAYS. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX, BUT THEY TELL ME MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED BUT MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ARE,NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 02V120000, AND MY CAR HAS THE SYMPTOMS OF AN IGNITION PROBLEM. ALSO THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ROUGH AND SOMETIMES THE KEY JAMS. NOTE THAT IT COULD BE THAT ITS PAST 15 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WENT OUT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE. I FEEL THEY ARE LIABLE FOR THIS REPAIR, I NEVER GOT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL AND HOPE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT AS WAS SUGGESTED BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. ANYTHING YOU...

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 2005, AT APPROXIMATELY 5:30 PM EST IN MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC LX 4DR SEDAN. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP STREET, AND WAS ABOUT TO ACCELERATE AND MAKE A RIGHT TURN. I STARTED MOVING AND THEN MY CAR WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART IT. HOWEVER, FROM THAT POINT FORWARD, I FOUND AS I WOULD BE COMING TO A STOP AND IDLING, THAT THE CAR WOULD WANT TO GO COMPLETELY DEAD AND STALL ON ME. I TOOK MY CAR TO OUR DEALERSHIP, AUTOSPORT HONDA, IN BRIDGEWATER, NJ, AND HAD THEM TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN NEED OF A TUNE UP, AND THAT THE WIRES LEADING FROM THE...

AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CORP. HAS REFUSED TO HONOR RECALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2000 CIVIC, DESPITE THAT THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR RECALL AND MODEL AND YEAR ARE CONSISTENT . THEY TELL ME MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE DESIGNATED SEQUENCE. THE CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS, ETC. THIS IS DANGEROUS, AS ACKNOWLEDGED BY HONDA IN THEIR RECALL DESCRIPTION. *NM

I TOOK MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP A YEAR AGO TO SEE WHY MY CAR WOULD STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS AND I'M CONCERNED OF A CRASH. DEALERSHIP RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND COULD NOT FIND A THING WRONG. SINCE THEN MY VEHICLE STILLS STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON MAYBE ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS. USUALLY I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 02V120000. I CALLED HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR SO MY COMPLAINT IS HONDA'S VEHICLE NUMBER SCOPE NEEDS TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE SO I CAN SAFELY DRIVE WITHOUT FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL STALL AND CAUSE A CRASH. SEE...

CONSUMER STATES THAT HE HAD THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCH REPAIRED AND FEW MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. *MR

WHEN THE CAR WAS 2 WEEKS OLD, WE RETURNED FROM A DRIVE AND FOUND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, EVEN WITH THE IGNITION IN THE "OFF" POSITION AND THE KEY REMOVED. THE ENGINE SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WAS TRYING TO START ITSELF, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL RUNNING. I PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND TURNED IT TO THE "ON" POSITION, AT WHICH POINT THE UNUSUAL NOISE DISAPPEARED, AND THE CAR SEEMED TO IDLE NORMALLY. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, AND THE NOISE RETURNED AS THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. I TURNED THE KEY ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE FINALLY STOPPED. AS I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, I NOTICED SMOKE RISING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT A FIRE WAS BURNING ON THE STARTER AND THE NEARBY RUBBER HOSES. I UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIED TO BLOW OUT THE FLAMES, WHICH WE PUT...
