1995 HONDA ACCORD EX, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: INITIALLY, DASH LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP WHEN KEY IS IN "RUN" POSITION. STARTER MOTOR WILL TURN OVER, BUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO IGNITION CURRENT, ENGINE WILL NOT START. NON-IGNITION "ON" RELATED ACCESSORIES (RADIO, POWER WINDOWS) WORK FINE. HOWEVER, THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. EVENTUALLY, ON AN OCCASION WHEN THE ENGINE DOES START, AFTER STARTING AND RUNNING, THE ENGINE WILL DIE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. PLEASE SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 02V120000 FOR 1997 AND NEWER ACCORDS. IGNITION "SWITCH PLATE" WAS REPLACED BY DEALER BUT PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. *TR

THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILING IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR (ENGINE LIGHT IS ON), WHICH IS ESSENTIAL PART OF THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, IS REQUIRED ON MY 1995 HONDA ACCORD WAGON LX. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE TO THE MILEAGE AND SPEED SENSOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO HONDA NORTH AMERICA THE EXTENSION OF THE EMISSION WARRANTY (TSB# 98-081) GRANTED TO ALL 1995-V6, 1996-ALL AND 97-ALL ACCORDS, IS NOT APPLICABLE TO MY YEAR AND MODEL. SINCE THE SAME EXACT ISSUES WERE REPORTED FOR VEHICLES COVERED BY EXTENSION OF THE EMISSION WARRANTY (TSB#98-081), HONDA SHOULD ALSO EXTEND THIS COVERAGE TO 1995 V-4 ACCORDS.*JB

I BELIEVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING THIS AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED ON MODELS 1997 AND NEWER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS RECALL EXTENDED AT LEAST TO THE 1995 MODEL. MY CAR EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I'LL BE TRAVELING ALONG AND THE ENGINE JUST QUIETLY SHUTS DOWN. I'M AFRAID OF DRIVING IT FOR FEAR THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT QUIT WHEN I TRY TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR MAKE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS. JASON FRITZ. *AK
