MY !998 HONDA CIVIC EX STALLED ON FREEWAY WHILE GOING AT 50MPH. IT WAS DUE TO FAILURE OF IGNITION SWITCH. HONDA HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN VAN MODELS ONLY AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST. MY SAFETY IS AT STAKE HERE SO ARE OTHERS WHO DRIVES A HONDA. ALTHOUGH I HAVE 162,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE SWITCH AS FAR AS I KNOW IS NOT AN ITEM CALLED OUT FOR REPLACEMENT AS PART OF THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. SO HOW WOULD I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE IF IT IS NOT AN ITEM THAT IS A REQUIRED ATTENTION WHEN VEHICLE IS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND LIFE ENDANGERING PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED. *TR
