Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Ignition switch failed, causing vehicle to stall intermittantly (very, very dangerous when pulling out into traffic!) and making it nearly impossible to start (key had to be held between acc and on). Swith disassembly revealed molten pitting on one contact. Filing contacts restored normal operation, but copper now lacks silver plating, which may accelerate corrosion. New switch purchased from dealer for $60 and diy replacement took approx. 15 minutes to install (two screws and several harness clips). Vehiicle was not covered by honda recall for later (and mechanically identical) models.*ak |
