This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1995 Honda Accord ex, automatic transmission: Initially, dash lights do not light up when key is in "run" position. Starter motor will turn over, but because there is no ignition current, engine will not start. Non-ignition "on" related accessories (radio, power windows) work fine. However, this occurs intermittently. Eventually, on an occasion when the engine does start, after starting and running, the engine will die while the car is in motion. Please see NHTSA campaign id # 02V120000 for 1997 and newer Accord. Ignition "switch plate" was replaced by dealer but problem has returned.
The contact owns a 1995 Honda Accord. While traveling at speeds of 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the contact was informed that the electronic ignition switch would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was unable to provide any assistance and the vehicle was not repaired. The current and failure mileages were 194,000.
1. 1995 Honda Accord sudden engine shut down at traffic stop 2. sent to dealer for repair - ignition switch (1997 Honda Accord has this ignition switch recall but not '95 model, call Honda-usa, they can't honor the repair for free due to not year recall).
I believe a faulty ignition switch is causing this and it is currently being recalled on models 1997 and newer. I would like to see this recall extended at least to the 1995 model. My car experiences the exact same problems. I'll be traveling along and the engine just quietly shuts down. I'm afraid of driving it for fear that the engine might quit when I try to pass another car or make a turn at an intersection. Thank you for your attention to this. Jason fritz.
Consumer has a recall letter from Honda, manufacturer recall#K46. Consumer has contacted dealer, and they refused to respect recall. Dealer wants consumer to pay for repairs.
