1990: “The ignition switch on a 1990 Honda accord. I recently was driving my car and I noticed that when I speed up the car just shuts off and it goes back on. It does it around 55 MPH. I haven't replaced the part. But I really think that you take this complaint seriously because I wouldn't want to see anyone or myself getting hurt because of this issue.”
