1 Electrical Failure problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2009

A total ignition cutoff has been occurring on my 1999 Honda Civic ex. The car has 151k miles. It has cutoff on the fwy at 65mph. This is very dangerous I could have been rear ended,etc. Canada Honda has a recall for 97 thru 2001 accords,civics,crvs to replace faulty electrical switch on the keylock. :USA Honda is not doing this recall,why not? I would think that Honda should replace those that experience this dangerous occurence. I visited a local Honda dealer w this problem, the service writer stated that my VIN was not on the recall list. All Civics are built in canada and they all have the same type os electrical assy attached to the key assy. I would think that all these assys should be replaced . The assy costs about 48. 00 and dealer wants 150. 00 labor. This is a major safety issue, internet search of this problem has surfaced many customer complaints of this ignition cutoff due to bad electrical contacts in the switch.
