1999 honda civic dealer fixed problem for stalling, ignition switch. Also had same problem as the federal safety agency#05v025000 ignition key can be removed when car is not in park. Honda dealer charged me 350.00 to fix this problem.
About 3 weeks ago, I was driving home from work and made a right turn at a stop light and all of the sudden the car stopped. I nearly got hit, and I was able to coast to the side of the road. The car would not start again. I had it towed to the station across the street from where it died. They replaced the distributor cap and coil in it. This all cost me $710. Then 4 days ago I was driving home on a local road by home and the car just quit on me again. I have someone looking at it and they thought it was the tps but that's not it. They can't figure out what's going on. I had the ignition switch replaced when the recall came out for that a few years ago. Maybe that's the problem again?
I also have problems with my window regulator on my 1999 honda civic ex sedan. My car was only 4 years old when the driver side window went out while rolling it down and stuck halfway. After taking the door panel off and looking at it, the plastic holding the wires in it had split and the wires were rubbing causing them to fray. My husband switched that regulator over to the passenger side door and the passenger over to the driver so that I could at least use my driver side window. About a year later that window did the same thing. Now I am stuck with two front windows that will not roll down. I called the dealer to see how much it would cost to fix them and they said you have to replace the motor and everything even though there is nothing wrong with the motor. It will cost $265 to replace when you include labor.
Never notified of problem, electrical system:ignition
1999 honda civic ex yesterday, my car died on me three times while I was driving on the road. It just stopped as I was driving. My car made it to my mechanic this morning, but it was scary not knowing when the car would suddenly died. The oil, battery, fuel pump, and alternator were all working properly at the time of the incidents. What I just learned from your site was that my car had an ignition switch recall, which honda failed to notify me about such danger. Had I been on the freeway, I could have been in a serious accident. I wished someone would contact honda immediately and have them sent out notices to those who still have not had their ignition switch changed because like your site indicated, it could cause a sudden crash. Thank you.
The vehicle experienced the symptoms and consequences described in the ignition switch recall 02v-120000 but the VIN isn't included in the recall.
Engine shut down when driving on the highway as well as in local traffic. Ignition switch was replaced on a recall several years ago. No warning was given before shutting down.
I notice the passenger right front window was not functioning properly. The window would go up and down slowly. The honda mechanic diagnosis reported the window regulator needed replacing. Two months later the driver left front window would go up and down slowly. Last week the window would not go up on its own and I had someone help pull the window up. I know its the regulator. I want to know if any car owners who own a 1999 4 sedan honda civic are experiencing the same problem. I've own two cars previously and never experience the regulator shortning out after 4 years. I don't know if anything can be done at this stage since the car is no longer under warranty but I want a record of this particular problem I've experienced with my car.
