It began I think in February 2012 going down the highway. My 1999 Honda Civic turned off then back on which jerked the car. It did not do it again until weeks later. Then it would begin to actually turn off while driver without warning. But then again it would only do it a time or 2.... then not for several weeks later (which by then I had forgotten about it). It did this on and off for the rest of 2012.... but would always start right back up.... even putting it in neutral while moving and starting it..... then putting it back in gear without hardly slowing down. But the last few months, especially in July (2013).... it began cutting off more often and would be harder to start. So I decided to have it checked and it was the ignition switch. I had it repaired because it was definitely becoming a hazard to myself and others. My car was not part of the recall in 2002 for the ignition switch (NHTSA # 02V120000). I see online there are many more instances of this part failing and would like to see my car added to the recall list and possibly reimbursed for the cost of repair.

- Whittier, CA, USA

1999 Honda Civic ex yesterday, my car died on me three times while I was driving on the road. It just stopped as I was driving. My car made it to my mechanic this morning, but it was scary not knowing when the car would suddenly died. The oil, battery, fuel pump, and alternator were all working properly at the time of the incidents. What I just learned from your site was that my car had an ignition switch recall, which Honda failed to notify me about such danger. Had I been on the freeway, I could have been in a serious accident. I wished someone would contact Honda immediately and have them sent out notices to those who still have not had their ignition switch changed because like your site indicated, it could cause a sudden crash. Thank you.
