My moms '98LX has cut out and died twice in the last 2 months. So I took it in to our local dealer for the recall ignition swx replacemant. But what they ended up doing is rebuilding the old ign switch. Unfortunatly they didn't fix jack, and the car stalled out 3 times the next day and now the switch needed to be jiggled to get the car to power up. They really goofed, so back to the dealer the car went today.

I was under the impression that they were to replace the switch, not try and rebuild it. Anyone here have this recall done, and do you know what they actually replaced? I am really disapointed in Honda if they are just trying to replace contacts or other small parts, just to save buck.

 

My car goes in next Thursday for it.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

there are 2 different recalls. the one you just had sounds like the interlock recall,not the actuall switch. have your dealer check to see if the 1st ignition switch recall,the ellectrical part has been done.

 

Yep your right, that was the problem. Got the electrical swx changed out today and now all is good. They did the interlock part the first time,though that was not the problem, at least it's all done now.
