| Description of the problem | This letter is a follow-up to honda regarding a letter i had submitted on february 26, 2014. June 10, 2014 i was contacted by a honda customer service representative regarding the letter outlined below and was told that there was no assistance available from honda despite safety concerns. I was also told by the local honda dealership that there have been issues with ignition/igniters with honda crvs (especially the 98 crv which included a recall in 2002 for this very issue) and that i can go ahead and replace the ignition switch at a cost of approximately $200 plus labor (for a known defect). I had this work done approximately a year and a half ago and the issue continues as the vehicle will shut down while driving and will restart after sits. Unfortunately, this is a vehicle that not only do i drive on open highways but my daughter drives as well. In light of the recent events with a similar issue with gm vehicles, i would ask that my situation be given additional consideration. |
