1999 Honda Accord was subject of a recall in May 2002 for ignition switch that the car would shut down unexpectedly. Repair was completed on subject auto and has not had any further problems with the switch until two weeks ago. The car would shut down and did at 65mph in traffic. Managed to steer to the roadside and restart the car. This could have been a major accident! the switch has again been replaced at my expense. This is not right.

- Arden, NC, USA

While driving the vehicle, the engine will quit completely without any warning or indication of malfunction; it just stops. Sometimes it will start up again immediately, sometimes multiple attempts where it catches for a fraction of a second and stops again have been required over a period of several minutes. Over time, it seemed to become clear that turning the key to the off position instead of attempting a start from acc would almost always result in immediate restart. The issue disappeared over what was a fairly cold winter, but has returned with the warming weather. Total number of occurrences: Somewhere around fifty or higher. Sometimes it would happen numerous times the same day, increasingly with increased temperature, and seemed much more prone to occur when the air-conditioning was in use. The repair shop was never able to capture an obd code with its recording device. As a commuter on rural roads, this has been inconvenient but so far not unsafe, but there is a potential for it occurring under adverse traffic conditions that might be unsafe, e.g., at highway speed with close following traffic on a road with no shoulder. These incidents may or may not be related to two repairs that almost immediately preceded the first occurrence of this problem: 1. the car wouldn't start one day, no electrical output at all was available, though the battery was only a few months old. A local (I.e., non-dealer) repair shop replace the negative battery cable that grounds the battery to the vehicle. 2. timing belt replacement was performed a couple of months prior, again by a local repair shop.

- Grinnell, IA, USA

The ignition shuts off. The GM recall on ignition sounds very similar. The car just shuts off on the freeway going any speed 20-70 miles per hour and sometimes at a stop sign. No warning at all. Almost caused accident on freeway with having to get to shoulder as soon as possible. Realize sometimes I put pressure on key toward clockwise slightly and engine right back on like nothing happened. But sometimes need to keep the forward pressure on it or it goes off again immediately. New key helped some but not completely.

My 1999 Honda will randomly just quit running. The engine dies and the door locks unlock. It will start right away. From what I've been reading, there was a recall for this exact situation. Do you know how I can contact the company to final a complaint?

- Cordova, TN, USA

7/8/2013 approaching a stop sign on a flat residential street, the car suddenly died. It restarted right away. The next morning the car died as soon as I put it in gear. Again it restarted. On my way home from work that same day all the lights on the dash came on for a second, but the car did remain on, although there seemed to be a second or two where everything felt like it froze up. Ever since then, I have to hold the key turned for about 5 whole seconds to keep the car started. If I let go right away, the car immediately dies. Then on Friday 8/31, all the lights flashed on the dash, and then the car died completely as I was accelerating on the on ramp to the highway. I was able to pull over quickly and fortunately did not cause an accident. After a few minutes the car did restart and I was able to make it home. I called my Honda dealer in July after the first incident, and was told they would only look at it for $100 diagnostic fee. I had my local independent mechanic check everything they could think of a few days later, battery, alternator- and the last resort they had was the ignition switch. Honda has already had two recalls on my vehicle for ignition switch issues, 2002 and 2005. The Honda dealer was very unwilling to check anything this time around and made it very clear that I would be responsible for paying for the diagnostic check, and that did not seem appropriate given the ignition switch issues in the past.

I have serious issues with my Honda Accord. First, the transmission has failed. It began with it slipping in higher gears when hot and finally failed when it wouldn't shift out of low gear. This transmission is the same transmission that is in the 00-04 Honda Accord that were recalled. Honda refused to offer any type of owner assistance. My expense to repair: $1516.30 second issue: In 2002 the ignition switch was recalled. The car died on the freeway and had to be towed two days after I received the recall notice. Honda repaired the vehicle no charge for parts and labor but refused to pay for the towing expense. My cost: $75. Now the ignition switch has failed again and Honda has refused to replace it at no charge or with any type of owner assistance even though this same part was replaced as part of a recall. I have been given an "estimate" of $275 to repair. Freeman Honda of dallas replaced the switch under the recall. I've contacted john Eagle Honda of dallas, on lemmon ave, and left messages for[xxx] the service manager but have not received a return phone call. I spoke with a service consultant who point blank told me my car is out of warranty and they will do nothing to help me. I called Honda customer assistance and was told they would not participate in any type of owner goodwill or assistance with either repair. I understand parts fail but these two repairs are known product issues for Honda! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

- Farmington Hills, MI, USA

The engine shuts-off at random times -- on freeway, city streets, stop signs/lights -- idling, accelerating, maintaining speed. Likely the ignition switch for which there was a recall, but the recall did not include this VIN -- I assume the "early" failure was addressed, but at what age/mileage is this no longer a safety issue" is there some standard age/mileage until which a vehicle should be designed for safety under normal maintenance and after which one should not assume such"

- Provo, UT, USA

While driving between 40-45 miles an hour, my car shut down. The radio shut off, the whole car shut down! thank goodness no one was behind me. I sat there in shock and tried to restart it, and it started right back up. This has happened twice before, but I was a red light/stop sign. I didn't think anything about it, because I thought I let up a little to much on the clutch. It just quietly shut down. I can't imagine if I was on the interstate with a tractor trailer behind me. I went straight home and googled and found out that there was recalls on electrical parts of switch. Called local Honda dealer. He stated that many has come through the door over this, but my VIN was not part of it. I will contact Honda corporation and try my luck there. It just shut down with no warning. Unbelievable!!

- Bristol, VA, USA

When traveling at any speed, but primarily above 50mph the car stalls. I will pull the car off the roadway, wait 30 seconds and attempt to restart. At times it will take up to a couple of minutes for the car to eventually start. Around the same time as the onset of this problem the car makes a grinding sound when you turn the key to start it. The same sound you would her if you were to try and turn the key to the start position after it is already started. The amount of pressure you put on turning the key does not seem to make a difference. The stalling problem has me the most concerned for myself and others.
