Complaint for Honda Accord 1999

Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Consumer Complaint:
MILEAGE AT START OF PROBLEM,, APP 60,000 NOW 130,000 IN 08! I BOUGHT MY 99 ACCORD WITH 56,000 MILES IN 2003. I WAS CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND HONDA REPLACED IT FOR FREE, ALTHOUGH AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. OK I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STALLING. FIRST TIME WAS ON I40 GOING APP 75. I WAS IN THE OUTER FREAKING LANE AND IT JUST TURNED OFF. I LIVED WITH THIS VERY FREAKING HAZARDOUS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T TRUST HONDA AND MONEY (JUST NOTE ONE OF THE PHONE CALLS FROM HONDA THE MAN TOLD ME HE THOUGHT IT WAS MY IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR THIS FREAKING TIME BUT LATER DECIDED IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE,!)I WAS IN COLLEGE TAKING MY EMT PRACTICALS WITH AN EMS SYSTEM AND WAS HAVING TO DRIVE TO ANOTHER COUNTY AND BE IN CONTACT VIA CELL PHONE WITH HONDA, AND BORROW MY DADS TRUCK!! THEY HAD MY CAR FOR DAYS AND KEEP CALLING AND ASKING IF ONE OF THERE MECHANICS COULD DRIVE MY CAR TO LUNCH ,, AND IF THEY COULD TAKE IT HOME OVER NIGHT AND SO ON, AND FINALLY SAID IT WOULDN'T STALL FOR THEM!!!!! I WAS ¿!@#$%! THEY DID ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST OF 75$ AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T EVEN ON! THEY ALSO SAID I NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS, I HAD NEW SPARK PLUGS AND IM NOT AN IDIOT,, THERE WAS NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ?!@#$% THINGS. THEY ALSO EVENTUALLY DECIDED THAT I NEEDED MY FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED, BECAUSE THEY REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID THEMSELVES! THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T CHARGE ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE IF I GOT THE 120$ NEW SPARK PLUGS, MINE WERE NEW AND WORKING VERY WELL. SO OF COURSE I HAD NO OPTION. AFTER READING S FEW COMPLAINTS HERE AND ON OTHER SITES, I AM SEEING THAT THEY TOTALLY TOOK ME FOR OVER 500$ AND THAT MY PROBLEM WAS IN MY IGNITION SWITCH,, IM WONDERING IF THEY SNUCK AND REPLACED IT AGAIN BEHIND MY BACK JUST TO CHARGE ME FOR OTHER ¿!@#$% THEY DIDN'T DO. I HATE HONDA I HATE HONDA,, I WANT SOME ?!@#$% JUSTICE. *TR
