Ignition Switch problems of the 2007 Honda CR-V

2007 crv purchased new. 198,000. Car has been failing to furn over intermittently for a couple of months on first try. All lights on dashboard light up, but only a low wurring noise. Turn key back, wait a second or two and it starts right up. Today, when I started the car the check engine light was on. After driving for about 3 - 4 miles, both the vsa light and the trangle light came on and the car started bucking and driving very roughly. Conituned until I could safely pull over. Turned car off and then back on. The vsa nad triangle lights went off and the car returned to driving normally for the remainder of my commute (~8 miles). Parked car for 10 hours. When starting again, the exact same scenario occured except the vsa and triangle lights came on after about 2/10's of a mile. Pulled over and shut the car off and only the check engine light remained on and driving returned to normal. Upon arriving home, I started to research these issues and stumbled upon some posts regarding possible recalls and/or technical service bulletin's regarding faulty ignition switches and a correlation between the starting issues, the dashlights and the bucking and rough driving I had encountered.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated the doors lock independently immediately after the key has been removed from the ignition switch. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact suspected that the failure was due to a faulty door lock actuator. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000. Pam.

To begin, I recently purchased directly from manly Honda, in marin county, CA, earlier this Jan/Feb of 2007 a brand-new 2007 Honda Cr-v exl, $28k. A first-time car buyer, I had paid in full using my hard-earned money what I believed to be a reliable, dependable and trouble-free car. Alas, I began noticing some irregularities with the car soon thereafter. To name but a few, they are as follows: 1) a tapping sound in the back of my car; 2) a wet spot noted on the floor of my garage under the hood area; 3) intermittent inability to start the car whereby the battery light would come on; and 4) inability to accelerate, but sudden surge thereafter when driving. I brought my vehicle in to be serviced on Monday, August 13, 2007. Later that afternoon I received a call from sf Honda, the service dealer, to advise that: 1) the tapping sound in the back of my car is due to a welding defect. Having jacked up the car and removed all the back panels to the vehicle, they had determined that the defective weld or welds were located further within the vehicle and my car would need to be sent to an auto body shop to be further stripped apart to determine the number of defective welds in question. 2) a powder test performed on my engine had determined that it was a transmission leak and the entire transmission would need to be replaced. 3) they had yet to determine why my car would fail to start and the battery light appear; and 4) the sudden surging of my vehicle once I had stepped on the accelerator was due to the defective leak in the transmission. Upon hearing this, I was flabbergasted. Who would have thought that a brand-new car, a Honda which is noted for its reliability, would encounter such problems? and at 3,158 miles? and simultaneously? what does this say about Honda's quality assurance and manufacturing standards?.
