Ignition Switch problems of the 2000 Honda Civic

Car completely shuts down while going down the road- I see there was/is a recall by Honda of a defective ignition switch.

Car stalls out after higher speed driving, usually coming to a hard stop, requiring me to restart. Once it happened while I was driving on the freeway, so it was a bit scary, a safety concern. Usually while coming to a stop is when it occurs exiting freeways. I would like Honda to fix, but they tell me my VIN is not affected but my make model and year are,NHTSA campaign number 02v120000, and my car has the symptoms of an ignition problem. Also the ignition switch is rough and sometimes the key jams. Note that it could be that its past 15 years since the recall notice went out, but I never received the notice. I feel they are liable for this repair, I never got. I should not have to foot the bill and hope for a reimbursement as was suggested by their customer service rep. Anything you can do to compel them to fix it, I would greatly appreciate. The most recent occurrence was on 02/25/18 exiting the freeway and coming to a stop.

I bought a used 2000 Honda Civic dx that would sputter very quickly sporadically. It became more frequent as I drove it more. Now it will just shut down and have to sit before it will start again. This is very, very dangerous to me and my daughter as we work the night shift and have had this happen to us on the freeway. We could have been killed, or killed others if they would have hit us in the middle of the freeway! as I'm finding out, there is some kind of unofficial recall on the Honda's ignition switches. Is this true? we need to get to the bottom of this, as I have had it put on a diagnostic machine and it doesn't read any codes being defective. . . . . It won't unless it's doing it at the time. What can I do?.

I was driving home from work on Friday evening, September 16, 2005, at approximately 5:30 pm est in my 2000 Honda Civic lx 4dr sedan. I came to a complete stop at a stop street, and was about to accelerate and make a right turn. I started moving and then my car went completely dead and stalled. I was able to get the car to the side of the road, put it in park, and then restart it. However, from that point forward, I found as I would be coming to a stop and idling, that the car would want to go completely dead and stall on me. I took my car to our dealership, autosport Honda, in bridgewater, NJ, and had them take a look at the problem. They told me that the ignition switch was in need of a tune up, and that the wires leading from the ignition to the engine were deteriorating. I decided to look my VIN number up to see if there were any recalls. I found, based on the Honda Civic lx 4dr sedans, that there was a recall may 16, 2002 (campaign number 02v120000) for the electrical system component, more specifically, the ignition switch. The recall states "electrical contacts in the ignition switch can degrade due to the high electrical current passing through the switch when the vehicle is started. " the recall further states that "worn contacts could cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. " I brought this to my dealerships attention, and he told me he already ran my VIN number (1hgej6674yl033640), and that it was not registered under the recall. I asked him if this was the same type of component problem as in the recall and he said yes. He said it is more common in stick-shift Hondas then automatics. I am bring this to your attention because the issue I am having with my vehicle is the same issue that was recalled in may 2002, except under different VIN numbers. I believe this is a serious issue, and attention should be given to it.

American Honda motor corp. Has refused to honor recall of the ignition switch on my 2000 Civic, despite that the symptoms are exactly as described in their recall and model and year are consistent . They tell me my VIN number is not in the designated sequence. The car stalls for no reason when stopped at lights, etc. This is dangerous, as acknowledged by Honda in their recall description.

Purchased Honda Civic sedan lx in 8/2000. To date, the car has continuously stalled or not started. Brought to dealers attention twice without any action by dealer. Noticed the recall notice, but was never notified by dealer or Honda. On 4/18/2004, brought car to dealer again for recourse.

I have had quite a few problems with this poorly made vehicle. One, the ignition switch problem. I have called for help with no success. Thank you by the way Honda! the key gets stuck in the ignition and needs to be started a couple of times to get it out. Next problem, the car's transmission is terrible. Very jumpy on highway, engine is quite clumsy on regular road driving. Now the main problem why I have come here because I feel I was wronged considering I bought practically a new vehicle. (I was less than 2 years old when I had first purchased it). This being my first newer vehicle, I guess I can say I owned older cars that held together much better. The car for the past month has been very jumpy on the highway. It feels like it wants to stall when driving, which makes me feel very endangered when driving. I recently found out by my own exploration that there is an ignition switch recall. According to the Honda. Com website that I registered with, there is no safety recalls, (where they fail to mention all other recalls). Nothing is posted on this. I have been to numerous mechanics and finally may have found that the ignitor is bad. Funny enough I know 2 other people with Hondas who have replaced their's at their own expense. Now, I contacted the local Honda with no help! they to call american Honda (which I did) and apparently Honda decided to recall "some" of the cars with these ignitor's in them. I will be making plenty of calls to get heard. I thought that Honda was a stable name. Apparently not since there is plenty of complaints in the air (which would be expected, because things do go wrong). Anyway, I am glad I got to complain here. Hopefully I will be heard. Let it also be said, I am a struggling college student who was looking to only buy a stable car, and instead got a world of headaches!.

I took my 2000 Honda Civic to a local dealership a year ago to see why my car would stall for no apparent reason. Happened maybe once every three months and I'm concerned of a crash. Dealership ran several tests and could not find a thing wrong. Since then my vehicle stills stalls for no apparent reason maybe once every few months. Usually I don't think about it until it happens. I researched the internet for recalls and found there is a recall for the electrical system:ignition:switch. Nhtsa campaign id number : 02v120000. I called Honda at 1-800-999-1009 and was told my vehicle number was not part of the recall. I truly believe this is what's wrong with my car so my complaint is Honda's vehicle number scope needs to include my vehicle so I can safely drive without fear that my car will stall and cause a crash.
