Honda Ignition Switch Defect may cause Deadly Accidents

oh dear - the paid detroit shills are out tonight.

now, while we're talking dangerous ignition failures, how much did ford pay to settle that class action? $200M? i forget.

Your hysteria is misplaced. Any car may stall without warning in traffic and most do at some point in their existence on the road.

I disagree, Mike. Trolling is a sign of character. It's up to the reader to decide *what* character, of course...

I was going to sue somebody for $200 million once, but then I discovered that the lawyers were going to get $199,999,985.98, and I was going to get a coupon for 50% off an oil change.

Up here in Canada, Rice Krispies are bilingual (by LAW!).

In English, they go snap crackle pop, like you'd expect. In Quebec they go cric crac croc.

I shit you not.

...and that was at Jiffy Lube.

All the salesmen here curse & deny this flaw, salesmen always do whenever a flaw is exposed ; their bread & butter is jeopardised.

| The car may stall without warning while driving in traffic. Yes, my '90 Accord ( Japan made )'s ignition switch failed after just

68,800 km use, in 10-03. This switch ( part # 35130-SM4-305 ) suddenly could not feed a current to engine ( F20A )'s distributor, so this accord was stuck in a slow moving traffic, causing obstruction to traffic. If your car uses this switch ( fitted below key slot, K69-1 embossed on its black plastic casing's bottom), & switch is not new, better let your car carry a 3 amp wire ( insulated, 18" long ) with a clip* @ 1 end to grip your battery's +ve terminal, & the other end ( bare ) to slip into your distributor's +ve input terminal ( a wire with a black rubber insulation, on a F20A ) to ( if necessary ) feed a 12v current to distributor, so your engine ( after cranking ) can run like normal until you can replace this un-durable switch. This clip* will enable easy dis / re connection to turn off / on engine. I never knew any ignition switch can fail @ just 68,800 km : the interior of this failed switch has no crack / dirt / dust inside ! Worse is the new switch fitted is not perfect either : when idle, it leaks 50- 75 mv to windows' motor's relay, & helps to drain battery.
