Is the jimmy ignition problem a recall item 1999

Hello Jimmy,

I suggest you contact your local dealer with this question.

If you purchased new, and have not abused the screen, then it should be a warranty claim.

1999 jimmy doesn't have a carb. has fuel injection . From what you have typed here i would suggest you take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop !

if you can turn the ignition to the run position it should not lock up on you. if you are starting it without turning the ignition it will probably lock the steering wheel.

Could be the Ignition Switch. 1999 Honda Accords are known for having defective ignition switches installed, which Honda issued recall. Check with a Honda dealer to see if your model is part of the recall group & qualifies for replacement. I’m currently on my third ignition switch, this last one I replaced myself.

the 98 Honda Accord does not show a recall for the ignitor..there is one for the ignition switch.......maybe he got those confused....As for the 83 i was unable to locate any recall records for it :(
hope this helps.......Good luck!

If you have front end problems like an pitman arm or idle arm needs to be replaced, it may not got into 4 wheel drive. Go to the nearest muffler shop or mechanic to have them lift up your truck to see if something needs to be replaced.
