Picked up new car from oklahoma dealer, drove home, one hour later car won't start. Dealer picks up car, fixes brings back to us, said it was something to do with fuse panel. Several years later driving down busy florida interstate, car just dies, after approx. 10 minutes car finally starts. Two months later same thing happens on same interstate, car towed to local dealer. Told it was a short caused by after market sunroof, not wise to claim repair through warranty, cost over 500.00 dollars to fix. Present day, once again car has started dying and takes some time before it will restart. Contacted local dealer, they say VIN not on recall list. No punch mark on engine compartment VIN.

1999 honda cr-v. Consumer states vehicle exhibiting behavior outlined in recall bulletin 02-231, stalling without warning. *tgw the consumer stated it appeared the recall was performed in 2002, but, there were several questions involved. He stated the repair order did not specifically say the ignition switch was installed. The process may have been started, but the parts may have been on hold. Second, the service bulletin called in step 9 for a center punch completion mark above the eighth character of the engine compartments VIN. No such mark existed on his vehicle. Third, other service work was done on the same day as the recall, and would appear to leave too little time to complete the recall work the same day. And if the switch was replaced, it would appear that the replacement has the same defect. *jb the consumer took the vehicle to a repair shop and it appeared the replacement switch had also failed as the original recall problem, which was due to burnt contacts in the switch from arcing. Updated 04/29/10.
While I'm driving the engine will shut off by itself. I start again and run for a period of time and shut off again. I read from honda service bulletin that ignition switch causing the problem and it's recall parts.
Tl*the contact owns a 1999 honda cr-v. The contact reviewed the nhsta campaign id number 02v120000 (electrical system: ignition: switch).

I own a 1999 honda cr-v. The check engine light came on around 102,000 miles. The car began losing power, shaking while idling and chugging loudly during gear shifting. One day the engine just died, right in the middle of the parking lot I was driving through. No warning. I then took it to a mechanic I trust. They first had me replace the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires. It took them two visits to finally realize the valves were burnt and the head now must be replaced. Average cost to replace is $3500 to $4000. I have been researching this and it is a common complaint for 1997 to 2000 plus models. This problem must be stopped before someone is seriously injured.
I have a honda crv 99 and it has been having the same problems/symptom as described in the recall detail. It stalls when I stop at the stop sign or traffic light. I have spent money to replace the map sensor, idle control valve, temperature sensor, tune up...and none of those help. I checked with the dealer to see if my car is on the recall list and they said no. What can I do? My car's VIN #: hlrd2844xc012842 any help from you would be very much appreciated.

April 5, 2003 it was about 9:00 pm. I had just paid my toll on the new jersey side of the river. I was traveling westbound on the ben franklin bridge towards philadelphia. I was traveling about 35 MPH and was in the right-hand lane in order to take the exit off to the right to get onto south I-95. This exit ramp is at the bottom of the bridge on the pennsylvania side of the delaware river. As I was nearing the bottom of the bridge, my 1999 honda crv suddenly accelerated with such high rpms that it surged forward at an extremely rapid rate. It took off on its own so fast that not even the brakes would or could slow it down. I actively applied my brakes but to my horror, my brakes would not work and could not slow down the car. The car kept accelerating uncontrollably. I even pulled up on my emergency brake and tried to maneuver my car as I was traveling at a rapid pace through the traffic and could not stop my car until it crashed into another. This horrific accident totaled my car and resulted in the death of a woman in another car. My injuries kept me in the hospital for a week. A taxi driver had some injuries. He was treated and released. The honda crv was totalled and the car is being kept in storage, pending further investigation.

Consumer received recall notice 02v12 in the mail regarding the ignition switch. Consumer learned there were stipulations to the recall. Consumer received a remote starter as a gift but was installed at a different facility.

The dealership however will not reactivate the remote starter and consumer would have to take the vehicle to another facility and have them reactivate the starter at consumers expense.
