1994 Honda Accord

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 HONDA ACCORD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS LOWERED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN IGNITION OUTPUT SIGNAL MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO START TWICE. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF THE ISSUE. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MAY 2010 AND THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD. NO POWER TO THE ENGINE OR ANY ACCESSORIES. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC OR ELSE THE SITUATION COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH DIFFERENTLY WITH A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I COASTED TO A STOP AND WIGGLED THE KEY, AND LIMPED IT HOME WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND TRACED THE ISSUE TO A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. I ORDERED A BECKARNLEY #201-1807 SWITCH TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE. THE OLD SWITCH WAS CLEARLY WORN AND HAD BURN MARKS ON THE METAL, THUS CAUSING THE LACK OF CONDUCTION IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM. THE CAR IS RUNNING PERFECTLY NOW. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL (HONDA ACCORD). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 1994 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE UNLESS THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR WAS IN PARK.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONSUMER STATED THE KEYS WOULD COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND IN PARK OR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND ONLY COMES OUT WHEN HE TURNED THE KEY ON THE STEERING COLUMN TO THE LOCK POSITION. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO SHOP FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WAS PLACED IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THAT THE KEY RELEASED OUT OF THE IGNITION AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY. THE VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 170,000.

THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I THOUGHT IT HAD STALLED, AND IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO GET IT RESTARTED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AGAIN, I THOUGHT IT HAD STALLED, BUT I THOUGHT IT ODD THE CAR WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 MPH. I HAD TO COAST ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE SPEED THE CAR WAS TRAVELING BEFORE IT LOST POWER. I HAD TO MANEUVER ACROSS 2 LANES OF BUSY AND FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC AND BARELY MADE IT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED. I FEEL I ONLY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE DRIVER OF THE PICKUP BEHIND ME REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AND HE STRADDLED THE LANES OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, FORCING TRAFFIC TO SLOW DOWN SO I COULD GET THROUGH. I FEEL A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED HAD THIS DRIVER NOT DONE WHAT HE DID. AGAIN, IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO RESTART IT. I MADE IT HOME FINE, AND WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC, WHO SEARCHED THE ENGINE, TUNED UP THE CAR, BUT FOUND NO REASON WHY IT WOULD HAVE STALLED. WHEN I DROVE IT AGAIN, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME WHEN I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT INTO MY HOME DRIVEWAY. I SWITCHED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, BUT I'M NOT SURE THE LIGHTS ACTUALLY TURNED ON, BECAUSE IT TOOK THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME SOME TIME TO REALIZE THAT I WASN'T GOING TO BE TURNING LEFT AFTER TRAFFIC CLEARED. THIS TIME, I NOTICED THAT ALL POWER TO THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS WAS GONE, AND THAT THE CAR HAD NOT ACTUALLY STALLED AS I HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. A RETURN TRIP TO THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE ENTIRE IGNITION CONTROL UNIT AND THE IGNITION COIL WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND HE REPLACED IT. THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE THE MODULE WAS REPLACED, AND IT'S BEEN A FEW MONTHS. WE HAD THE RECURRENT PROBLEMS IN THE 2 WEEKS LEADING UP TO WHEN WE HAD THE IGNITION CONTROL UNIT AND IGNITION COIL REPLACED ON 9/22/06. *NM

IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE CAR JUST STALLS. I HAD TO USE TWO HANDS TO GET HER OFF THE ROAD,BECAUSE OF NO STEERING, AND TRY TO START HER AGAIN. SHE WILL TURN OVER BUT WONT START. HAD TO HAVE HER TOWED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A WEEK. HAD BATTERY,ALTERNATOR,AND ALL CONNECTIONS CHECKED,NOTHING. NOW ITS AT THE DEALER AND IM SURE THEY ARE GOING TO SOCK IT TO ME!THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN ,BUT WHY DID I SEE ON THE INTERNET LOTS OF STORIES OF THE SAME PROBLEM,AND WAS CONSIDERED ON THE RECALL? I AM A WOMEN AND THANK GOD MY SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR!IT WAS VERY SCARY! PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GOD BLESS, MICHELLE DAVIS. *NM

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH ON HONDA ACCORD 1994 EX SEDAN. WHILE DRVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE JUST QUITS. THERE IS NO STUTTERING, STALLING, OR ENGINE MISFIRES, IT QUIETLY JUST QUITS.WHEN YOU FINALLY COAST TO A STOP AND TRY TO RE-START, IT IMMEDIATELY RE-STARTS AND RUNS OKAY.WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO 'START', THE ENGINE DID START BUT AS SOON AS YOU RELEASED THE KEY TO SPRING BACK TO THE 'RUN' POSITION, THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT. EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD STAY RUNNING BUT IT QUIT REGUARLY AFTER THAT. I AM GOING TO REPALCE THE PART BY TOMARROW BECUASE THIS IS SERIOUS . THE CAR STOPPED IN THE HIGHWAY , THE STERING WHEEL STOP BECAUSE IT IS HYDRAULIC AND ABS BRAKE STOPED WORKING.
