I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. I HAVE A 1992 HONDA ACCORD WITH 166K MILES. AT THE TIME, I WAS PROBABLY AT ABOUT 115K MILES. MY CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND I TAKE CAR OF THE MAINTENENCE AS SUGGESTED. HOWEVER, I'VE CHANGED OUT THE IGNITER ON THE ENGINE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS 3 TIMES. LAST TIME WAS IN DECEMBER OF 04. I STARTED RECEIVING THE SAME SYPTOMS NOW, AND FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO GIVE OUT AGAIN. THE TACHOMETER STARTS SKIPPING AND I NOTICE WEIRD ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TRIED MANY THINGS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION BESIDES JUST REPLACING IT, BUT AFTER A WHILE THE PROBLEMS COMES BACK. I'VE READ SERIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM THAT CAUSE EXTREME HAZARDS AND UNWANTED BURDENS. *AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
