1999 HONDA CIVIC Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 1999 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle lost electrical power inadvertently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. Additionally, the contact stated that the instrument panel lights were no longer illuminated while starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the ignition switch was corroded at the contact point. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and several other unknown dealers were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I left work as usual when shortly after near my work I began to smell a strong gasoline smell and I parked to check the vehicle when I turned off the vehicle it made a slight explosion and caught fire

While driving on the highway car engine shut off and completely lost power. After getting on to the shoulder car would not start, electric windows would not operate. Approximately 30 minutes later car started and made it home on city streets. Have not driven it since. Checked and did not find any recalls on this.

Air condition unit stop working the smell of smoke.

ENGINE PERIODICALLY STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, ENGINE RE-STARTS, BUT MAY THEN STALL AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ALL TIMES OF DAY [MORNING, AFTERNOON, ETC] AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS [ UNDER 20 MPH, AT 60MPH] . THIS IS NOW HAPPENING WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. WAS INITIALLY ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS, AND IS NOW EVERY FEW DAYS.

VEHICLE DIES IN TRAFFIC FOR NO APPARENT REASON. STARTS RIGHT UP. WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND RAN ACROSS INFORMATION CONCERNING A RECALL FOR 97 TO 99 HONDA'S. MY CAR IS EXHIBITING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL. HOWEVER WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT COMES ACROSS AS NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE KEY SWITCH. WHEN THE CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC IT IS NOT ONLY THE ENGINE BUT ALL THE ELECTRICAL POWER AS WELL. COULD MY VIN JUST BE AN OVERSIGHT AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR BUT THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO DO THIS AND IT DOES IT AT ANY SPEED AND CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING

Mileage: 155,000

MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING AND LOSING POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING, MOST OFTEN ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT STARTS BACK UP. THIS CREATES A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. SOMEHOW, AS WITH MANY OTHER DRIVERS I HAVE RESEARCHED AND READ ABOUT, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2002 RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH (FAULTY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT) INCLUDING HONDA CIVICS FROM 1999. NO OTHER REPAIRS SO FAR HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF THIS IS INDEED THE PROBLEM, (THE IGNITION SWITCH) WE VERY STRONGLY FEEL (LIKE MANY OTHERS) THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF HONDA TO TAKE CARE OF THE REPLACEMENT.

I CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND THE ENGINE QUIT. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, IT LURCHED A LITTLE AND QUIT AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR PLACE. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE MECHANIC GOT IT RUNNING AND I DROVE IT HOME. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT SOMETIME LATER, IT WOULD NOT START, JUST LIKE AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT WOULD REV UP AND THEN DIE. IT DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN STARTED. WHEN I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACE WHERE THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD IGNITION SWITCH AND TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL HONDA. A CHECK WITH THE HONDA DEALER REVEALED THAT THERE WAS NO APPLICABLE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE; IE., A VEHICLE WITH THE ABOVE VIN. WHY NOT?? APPARENTLY, FOR SOME REASON MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC LX WAS "MISSED" BECAUSE THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING HAS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. WHY WAS THERE A RECALL, MY VEHICLE WAS OMITTED, AND NOW SOME YEARS LATER THE PROBLEM REARS ITS HEAD AND I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT CORRECTED. IT FAILS TO START RANDOMLY AND IF IT QUITS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I CAN'T START IT AGAIN, IT IS A SAFETY SITUATION SINCE I LOSE MY POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING.

VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATION. IT MAY START AGAIN OR MAY NOT. MAY NOT RESTART FOR TWENTY TIMES OR MORE, OR LESS. THE ONE VARIABLE THAT REMAINS THE SAME IS THAT IT WILL STALL AT SOME POINT WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. A CRASH IS VERY LIKELY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THAT COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. MAY 16, 2002 CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 02V120000 . HONDA WOULD NOT HONOR RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS A CLOSED RECALL, BUT WILL OPEN IF VIN # SHOWS IT IS ONE OF THE CARS THAT WAS RECALLED. THE CAR SHOWS UP WITH THE RECALL WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON IGNITION SWITCH. MORE ON THE STALLING, IT WOULD STALL ON ANY ROAD, STREET, OR HIGHWAY IN MOTION. EVERY STALL WAS IN MOTION. IF STARTING THE VEHICLE UP FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT MAY OR MAY NOT START THE FIRST TIME OR TWENTY TIMES LATER. STARTED IN 2014. HONDA WOULDN'T FIX IT. NEXT TWO YEARS SAT IN PARKING SPACE. 2017 STARTED TO DRIVE IT AFTER NEW BATTERY, NEW RADIATOR+THERMOSTAT. CAR STILL STALLS IN MOTION. 03/30/2017 TOOK CAR TO HONDA FOR RECALL. SAID CAR VIN # DID NOT SHOW RECALL ON IT THAT THE RECALL WAS CLOSED ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. I ONLY DRIVE ON ROADS THAT HAVE 30MPH LIMITS AND I DON'T LET MY KIDS DRIVE IT. I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A DEATH OR INJURY TO ANYONE WHO MAY CRASH INTO MY CAR.

CAR STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, LUCKILY ON LOCAL STREETS AND AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. BOTH TIMES CAR RESTARTED EASILY. HONDA HAD REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH ON RECALL BACK IN 2003 BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER--I'M THE SECOND OWNER-- BUT NOW WITH OVER 200,000 MILES THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE RETURNED. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED I HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AT A HONDA SERVICE CENTER AT MY EXPENSE. $110 COST. IF THE IGNITION SWITCH IS PROVEN DEFECTIVE, THEY WILL REIMBURSE ALL EXPENSES BUT ONLY AFTER APPROVAL FROM AMERICAN HONDA FOR A SECOND REPLACEMENT. DECIDED TO HAVE MY OWN MECHANIC FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEN SEND THE BILL TO HONDA WITH DOCUMENTATION. TO BE CONTINUED...

VEHICLE HAS STALLED ONCE WHILE IDLING AND TWICE WHILE DRIVING - ONCE ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR INITIALLY HESITATED AND THEN I FELT A 'THUNK' IN THE DRIVETRAIN {AS IF THE ENGINE RESTARTED WITH A SURGE}, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AT LEAST 3 TIMES ACCOMPANIED BY A RELAY CLICKING WITH EACH ON / OFF CYCLE. THE SPEEDOMETER GYRATED ABOUT MY ACTUAL SPEED ~5 MPH BELOW AND THEN ABOVE BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED AND I COASTED TO A STOP. AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF, THE CAR RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED, AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING NORMALLY. ALTHOUGH THE IGNITION RECALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED FOR THIS CAR, I AM SUSPECTING THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE SAME ISSUE THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT. THE IGNITION COIL, DISTRIBUTOR AND ROTOR, AND WIRES WERE ALL RECENTLY REPLACED AND A TUNE-UP PERFORMED AT THE HONDA DEALER. NO CHECK-ENGINE FAULTS WERE CAPTURED DURING ANY OF THE STALLING EVENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.

BACK IN NOVEMBER 2014, I CHANGED OUT MY HEADLIGHTS. THEY SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE UNTIL RECENT. LAST WEEK MY SRS AND MY BATTERY LIGHT WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF. MY HEADLIGHTS THEN BLEW OUT. I REPLACED THE BULBS AND CHECKED THE FUSES. LESS THAN ONE DAY LATER, MY LIGHTS BLEW OUT AGAIN. I CHANGED MY BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR OUT WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I AM THINKING THAT THERE MUST BE A SHORT IN THE WIRES SOMEWHERE, BUT NOT SURE. I AM SURE THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO COST SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ISSUES IN THE PAST SUCH AS THE RADIO HAVING TO BE RESET EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS NEVER DISCONNECTED. POWER LOCKS ARE ERRATIC AS SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

MAYBE EVEN IN A TURNING LANE, CARS COMING AT ME, RIGHT/LEFT/FRONT/BEHIND. I AM SCARED TO DEATH MY LUCK IS GOING TO RUN OUT AND SOMEONE OR SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET HURT AND LOSE THEIR LIVES BECAUSE HONDA CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH.

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC LX AND OUT OF NO WHERE IT STALLED COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. IT ALSO GAVE A LITTLE SHAKE WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL.IT TOOK A FEW IGNITION TURNS BEFORE IT STARTED BACK UP. THIS WAS THE START OF MANY TO COME STALLING OUT OR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL START...IT WON'T START...IT STALLED...IT DID NOT STALL. THE CAR HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. NOW, WE TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO NOT START. IT STARTED EVERYTIME WHILE AT THE SHOP. IN ORDER TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NEED TO NOT START. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS A RESULT OF STALLING OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND AT ANY SPEED WHERE A CRASH IS INEVITABLE. I RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AFTERWARDS TO FIND ANY RECALLS ON IT. SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS. IT HAD A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH CAUSES THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS.....STALLING OUT AND TROUBLE STARTING. I NEVER GOT A LETTER OR MAIL OF ANY KIND STATING THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR'S IGNITION SWITCH. WHY? THERE ALSO IS ONE OTHER RECALL ON THIS CAR, A FUEL TANK THERMAL INSULATOR. NO NOTICE ON THAT RECALL. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THESE FAULTY RECALLS DONE? BEFORE THERE IS A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS MANUFACTURER FAULTY EQUIPMENT.. *TR

ON 7/27/13, MY SON WAS DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. PRIOR TO DRIVING EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. WHEN HE PULLED OFF FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR GOT TO ABOUT 25 MPH THE ENGINE LINE FLASHED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE INTO A PARKING LOT, POPPED THE HOOD AND TAKE A QUICK LOOK TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. HE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AND OF COURSE HE'S NOT A MECHANIC. HE TRIED STARTING THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK AND THEN ON 8/5/13 HE LEFT WORK TO QUICKLY GET LUNCH AND WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR DIED AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. HE WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND IT STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. HE TOOK THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND AUTOZONE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DIDN'T IDENTIFY A PROBLEM/ERROR. THEN HE TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY TOLD HE AND MY HUSBAND IT WAS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM ($350.00). HE FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE. I'M THE 2ND OWNER OF THE CAR AND I'M UNCERTAIN IF THIS PROBLEM WAS EVER FIXED. HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF THIS IS REIMBURSABLE IF IT WASN'T FIXED IN THE RECALL. I NOTICE A NUMBER OF THE MORE RECENT COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE ARE CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT CLEARLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS??? *TR

IT BEGAN I THINK IN FEBRUARY 2012 GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON WHICH JERKED THE CAR. IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN UNTIL WEEKS LATER. THEN IT WOULD BEGIN TO ACTUALLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVER WITHOUT WARNING. BUT THEN AGAIN IT WOULD ONLY DO IT A TIME OR 2.... THEN NOT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS LATER (WHICH BY THEN I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT). IT DID THIS ON AND OFF FOR THE REST OF 2012.... BUT WOULD ALWAYS START RIGHT BACK UP.... EVEN PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE MOVING AND STARTING IT..... THEN PUTTING IT BACK IN GEAR WITHOUT HARDLY SLOWING DOWN. BUT THE LAST FEW MONTHS, ESPECIALLY IN JULY (2013).... IT BEGAN CUTTING OFF MORE OFTEN AND WOULD BE HARDER TO START. SO I DECIDED TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS DEFINITELY BECOMING A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL IN 2002 FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH (NHTSA # 02V120000).

SINCE 2011 THIS CAR HAS BEEN CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE SPEED COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 30 MPH ON A STREET OR 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS COMPLETE "POWERING OFF" HAS CAUSED ME NEAR MISSES AND ACCIDENTS MANY TIMES. SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR IN 2007, I HAVE HAD THE DISTRIBUTOR REPLACED 3 TIMES; AS WE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE FAILURES. IT WAS NOT. VERY RECENTLY (IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY) THE CAR CUT OUT SO MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND IT BECAME SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE I BROUGHT IT MY MECHANIC AND TOLD HIM I COULD NOT DRIVE ANYMORE UNTIL THE ROOT CAUSE WAS DETERMINED. FIRST, THEY THOUGHT IT NEEDED A TUNE UP. I HAD ALL THE SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, ETC REPLACED. THE CAR STILL POWERED OFF WHILE DRIVING. THEN, I HAD THE DISTRIBUTOR REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAR STILL CUT OUT. THE MECHANIC THEN REMOVED THE STARTER AND PUT A NEW ONE IN AND IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN I'VE READ ONLINE THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND I AM GOING TO PURSUE GETTING MY MONEY BACK FOR ALL THE WORK DONE TO THE CAR THIS MONTH. I KEPT THE STARTER AND THE KEY IF NEEDED FOR EVIDENCE. *TR

(I CAN ACTUALLY REMOVE MY KEY WHILE I'M DRIVING.) THERE IS A RECALL BY HONDA ON THIS SWITCH WHICH WAS POSTED IN MAY 2002 FOR ALL HONDA CIVICS FROM 1997 TO 2001. ALL CIVICS WERE BUILT IN CANADA AT THAT TIME.1,000,000 WERE RECALLED. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ( MY VIN # NOT IN THE RECALL, IN CANADA IT WAS ALL CARS RECALLED). HONDA REPS TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL. I HAVE THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS IN THE RECALL. IN CANADA, THEY RECALLED AND REPAIRED EVERY SINGLE CAR IN THAT COUNTRY. WHY NOT MY CAR? BECAUSE IT WAS SENT INTO THE USA? I'M FILING A MAJOR SAFETY COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA USA AND I WANT MY CAR FIXED BY THEM. THE COST IS $ 153.00 FOR THE SWITCH AND 195.00 FOR LABOR. I'M READY TO ELEVATE THIS COMPLAINT IF NECESSARY, NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC IF YOU DIRECT ME TO DO THIS. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO OWN A HONDA CIVIC FOR THOSE YEARS, HAVE A BAD SWITCH BUT, THEIR VIN # ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER TOLD ME THESE ARE SOME OF THE DAMAGES TO THE CAR: THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR SHIFTED, THE AXLE BROKE, THE TIRES AND WHEELS BROKE, THEY DECLARED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. I BELIEVE THE WHEELS/TIRES BROKE FIRST, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT THE CRACKING SOUND WAS THAT I HEARD WHICH CAUSED THE CAR SWERVE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID THE CAR OFF SO FAST WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING. ASLO, I THINK THE STEERING OF THE CAR WAS OUT OF LINE, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN I WOULD BE DRIVING STRAIGHT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE I WOULD APPRECIATE ALL THE INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE TO HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT ELSE IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AS I ALREADY SAID A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION WAS ISSUED MORE DEFECTS MAY BE FOUND.

FAILURE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO ALERT OF ENGINE PROBLEMS, SO NO OIL OR ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF.THE ENGINE WASN'T GETTING ANY OIL TO IT,AND OF COURSE THIS ALSO INVOLVES A MALFUNCTION OF THE "OIL PUMP".

AT 3:30 P.M. ON 1/19/99 MY DAUGHTER STOPPED AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND PARKED THE 99 HONDA CIVIC EX JUST OUTSIDE HER FRIEND'S GARAGE. SHE LEFT THE SUNROOF OPEN SLIGHTLY AND REMOVED THE IGNITION KEYS. AT 4:15 P.M WHEN SHE CAME OUT TO GET INTO THE CAR TO LEAVE, SHE NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE SUNROOF AND COULD NOT SEE INSIDE THE WINDOWS. HER FRIEND CALLED 911. HOWEVER THE CAR WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES BY THE TIME THE FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND PROPERTY DAMAGE INCLUDED THE VINYL SIDING THAT MELTED & BUCKLED ON THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE. IT'S A SHEER MIRACLE THAT NO ONE WAS HURT AND NO MORE DAMAGE WAS DONE. HAD IT OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE HOUSE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE PIEDMONT HONDA DEALERSHIP 1/19/99 AROUND 9:30 A.M. HOWEVER THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN THE FACT THAT OUR HONDA CAUGHT ON FIRE FOR WHAT HAS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT OF SOME SORT.
