problem #4

Accord 4-cyl

  • 144,000 miles
On my way home on I-295 my car lost all power and was hard to steer and brakes did not work. I was able to coast to a stop in the emergency lane. I had the car towed to a local mechanic who informed me that it was a bad ignition switch. I took the car to the Honda dealership and the part was under recall. The Honda tech called me yesterday and tried to tell me that the problem was in the fuse box. My mechanic already knew it was the switch and Honda told me the same thing when I dropped the car off. Im not sure if they were trying to upsell me or deny responsibility.

The steering has for 4 stems to the central shaft. The horn is a small button on 2 of these stems (the upper stems when the steering is not turned; when the steering is turned, it is anybody's guess). Can't find horn quickly enough.
