CarComplaints.com Notes: Haven't we all owned one of these things at some point? Despite being a popular first car for teenage drivers and, as a result, being beat up like no other, the late 90's Civic is a true endurance car. And it still gets better gas mileage than more modern cars.

This summer my 1999 Honda Civic EX started losing power while I was driving. It could happen on the freeway at 65 mph or coasting to a stop. There would be a quiet "click" and the engine would die, radio would turn off, DEAD. It would restart when I turned the key, but very scary. When I took it in to my mechanic he found that it was the ignition switch causing the problem. He fould out that it had been recalled about 8 years ago. He sent it over to the Honda dealership and it was replaced for free. I haven't had any problems since. Hope this helps someone.
