| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 honda crv purchased new from jeff wyler honda in florence, ky. Twice now, my ignition has simply shut itself off while i was driving. Once this occurred on the highway (in 2006) and again this week (2007) on a busy road. When the car shuts off, the green key icon in the dash flashes. Luckily both times i was able to coast out of traffic, shift into park and restart. I have been able to restart immediately, but it's a really dangerous problem when you are driving 65 mph and your car shuts itself off. The first time this happened i had about 40,000 miles on the car. Now i have nearly 60,000. Otherwise, the crv is in perfect condition. I noticed that there was a recall on honda crv ignition switches in 2002, and the description sounded identical to the problem i'm having. I think that they have not fixed the problem yet. I took it to the dealer for service a year ago, but they could not replicate the problem. They told me that they suspected it was cell phone interference with the ignition switch. If so, that's a big flaw because... Who doesn't have a cell phone in their purse in the car? |
