Car wouldn't start, Jan 10, 2009 was taken to service station, battery ok engine ok, charging system ok, computer system ok they couldn't find anything wrong, car would start fine, nothing was done to it. 11 days later car wouldn't start, so ignition starter was replaced. Car was ok until Jan 26(5 days after new car ignition switch was replaced) car is still in repair shop. Just found out on internet about problems and recall of 98 Honda Civic ignition switch. Please advise as to what to do next, need car for work travel. I am afraid for my life to use this car now. I do not feel safe in it at all.
