I OWN A HONDA ACCORD 1998, EX 4D SEDAN, VIN: [XXX]. SOMETIMES WHEN I MAKE A TURN, THE ENGINE STALLS AND STEERING WHEEL GETS LOCKED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! IT USED TO HAPPEN ONCE A FEW MONTHS. BUT NOW IT OCCURS ONCE A DAY! I TALKED TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE IT SINCE THE PROBLEM IS IRREPRODUCIBLE BY THEM. HOWEVER, THEY SAID IT?S VERY LIKELY AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE IT. I CHECKED HONDA?S WEB SITE AND FOUND THERE?RE TWO RECALLS ABOUT IGNITION SWITCH FOR 98 ACCORDS, WHICH ARE 03-0…

FIRST OF ALL, THE ELECTRICAL IGNITION SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACE. EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED UP, U HAVE TO KEEP TRYING IN ORDER FOR IT TO CRANK UP.

NORMAL DRIVING OF MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY AND AT 107,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BUT CHARGED ME THE LABOR EVEN THOUGH THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES HAD EXPIRED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW I HAD A TRANSMISSION COOLER INSTALLED, WHICH I BELIEVE EXTENDED ITS LIFE. I BELIEVE HONDA HAS SURPRESSED A DRECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION AND IS PASSING THE INSTALLATION LABOR ON TO THE CONSUMER. THEREFORE, I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING.*AK
