ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING IN APRIL OF 2010, MY CAR STARTED STALLING AT "RANDOM" TIMES; THERE WAS NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT AND NO NOTICEABLE ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS. THE CAR WOULD SIMPLY STALL OR COMPLETELY CUT OUT ON ME IN AN INSTANT, WHETHER I WAS IDLING, STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MOST COMMONLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY IN TRAFFIC, BUT THREE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. MOST OFTEN AFTER IT STALLED AND I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT WOULD START AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, IT WAS ALSO COMMON FOR THE CAR TO STALL AND FOR IT TO TAKE 5-6 TRIES FOR IT TO RESTART. THIS STALLING OCCURRED NEARLY DAILY, MOST OFTEN ONCE BUT SOMETIMES 3-4 TIMES EACH DAY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TWICE, IN MAY AND JUNE 2010, TO HAVE THIS STALLING LOOKED INTO, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE BOTH TIMES TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I FINALLY TOOK IT IN A 3RD TIME ON OCTOBER 11, 2010 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

SEATS
MY POWER ASSISTED DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT BOTTOM TO THE SEAT BASE HAS FRACTURED BECAUSE OF THE WELD CONDITION OF BRACKET. MY SEAT WELD AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE SEAT BOTTOM NOW CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK WITH NO STABILITY. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR THE PE02072 STATING THAT MY VIN NO. IS NOT IN THE RANGE AND THAT THE TIME PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS WELD FAILURE THAT ODI SHOULD HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD KEEPS STALLING ON ME WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'M ABLE TO RESTART IT AGAIN BUT IT CUTS OFF AGAIN. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT WILL STAY RUNNING BUT WILL STALL AGAIN WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OF A PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE TRYING TO ENTER THE ENTRANCE OF THE FREEWAY. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T HIT FROM BEHIND...VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR WITH YOU. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA DEALER THAT IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH...A $400.00 PLUS COST TO FIX. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX BLEW OUT AN ENGINE VALVE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 60 MPH. HONDA SERVICE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE. AT THE TIME THE CAR HAD ONLY 110K MILES. APPARENTLY, IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE DESIGN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED UNDER RECALL. AFTER THE CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD AGAIN AND WOULD NOT REPLACE AGAIN UNDER RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. AFTER PAYING DEALER THE CAR WAS FIXED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR THIS AS IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE JUST QUITS. THERE IS NO STUTTERING, STALLING, OR ENGINE MISFIRES, IT QUIETLY JUST QUITS. THE RADIO, HEATER FAN, BRAKE LIGHTS STILL WORK BUT NOT THE SIGNAL LIGHTS NOR THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS. AFTER A FEW HOURS TROUBLESHOOTING, I REALIZED THAT IF I WIGGLE THE LOWER OF FIVE WIRES ON THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATOR WILL RETURN TO FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THE CAR WILL THEN BE ABLE TO START. WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, IF I WIGGLE THE SAME WIRE, THE ENGINE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NOT OPERATE. *TR
