The original switch was replaced by my dealer in January '09, although they were uncertain that it was the real cause of the problem. Total cost to me $229.57. The second switch was replaced three months later, with a similar amount of uncertainty. That one must have been of higher quality because it lasted five whole months. The dealer agreed to consider it under warranty, so there was no charge to me. Replies to this message: jribakove (Sep 24, 2009 5:12 am)

For me, so far, so good, but it's only been a couple weeks since my switch was replaced. I didn't do it at the local Honda dealer, their prices are way to high. My mechanic bought the switch from Honda for $45, then charged me another $20 to install it. Honda should consider a recall or they may be looking at litigation one day soon.
