I own a honda accord 1998, ex 4d sedan, vin: [xxx].sometimes when i make a turn, the engine stalls and steering wheel gets locked. This is very dangerous!!! it used to happen once a few months. But now it occurs once a day! i talked to my local dealer and was told that they can not diagnose it since the problem is irreproducible by them. However, they said it?s very likely an ignition switch problem and recommended to replace it. I checked honda?s web site and found there?re two recalls about ignition switch for 98 accords, which are 03-088 and 02-031. But those two recalls don?t cover manual transmission cars. There is not too much difference between automatic and manual cars regarding the key cylinder. Problem happens to automatic car?s key cylinder can equally happen to manual car?s too!i wonder if honda could include manual transmission cars for the recalls too, or at least reimburse me for replacing the ignition switch? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
First of all, the electrical ignition switch had to be replace. Every time the car is started up, u have to keep trying in order for it to crank up. If it does crank, while driving down the highway, the car would cut off in the middle of traffic. That was very dangerous. You would have to put the car in neutral & keep turning the switch until it finally cranks back up. Next, there is the problem with the exterior lighting. The fuse blows about3 times a week & has to be replaced so that the headlight & brake lights would work. Everytime the fuse blow & the lights stop working, the car wont get into gear unless u unlock the gear shift everytime u put it in park.then there is the transmission. I have put 2 transmissions in this car in less that a year. What's going on with this car?
Vehicle experiences intermittent stalling, unable to rectify problems.

No events leading up to the failure. Passenger side door on my 1998 honda civic (2 door), failed/fails to open. Passenger thought door had been locked by driver but door failed to open even after it was repeatedly locked and unlocked in attempt to correct problem. Door has not opened since. Passenger must climb out window or crawl over driver seat to exit car. Would be very dangerous situation if auto accident occurred especially if exit from drivers side door was impossible. Children ride in this car and owner fears for their safety. Car taken to dealer to have problem fixed but dealer asked for over $400 to replace inside door parts and also stated $400 more would be required if door panel was broken as they attempted to remove it. Door panel is very difficult to remove with door stuck shut.owner feels this is a safety problem with manufacturing of car and should be fixed by manufacturer without charge.
