| Description of the problem | Engine stalls while driving, which interrupts power steering. This occurs generally within the first mile of driving, now daily. Initially, problem occurred at random, once or twice per month. Regular service checks revealed no problem. The car runs without problems all day once the initial stalling of the engine has occurred. Consumer information has found this to be an ignition switch problem, but honda-authorized service dealer refused to acknowledge any recall or problem on this model on 9/17/2002. Instead, honda claims that a scheduled "valve adjustment" would correct the problem. Engine stalling and interruption of power steering is a serious safety problem while driving, and the occurrence is not predictable - how can i be satisfied with a "valve adjustment" and take the car back on the road?*ak |
