ignition switch

so I believe its my ignition switch. I will be driving and somtimes my car will just start struggling to stay on at times. Mainly when i hit bumps or tap the key. I believe the idiot at tire rack didnt know how to push the key in pull it out a lil bit and then turn the key to start and jagged my ignition switch. Does anyone know where i can get this fixed for cheap? ill be drive at like 45 and then my car shuts off. sounds like a safety hazard sense im moving fast but have no power steering. I read some forums and saw that it is coverd under waranty but the guy at continental acura said my vin number says its not coverd...... they told me 94 for the switch and 100 for labor any better prices. id do it myself but going into the dash/steering wheel column is a pain in the ass

It's for a '99 but I would think it's very similar. Good pics. Save that $100. Did you check on aftermkt. price?

99 is pretty much the same part if not the same part as later years
