As you are driving the engine just shuts off. After pulling over the engine will restart most of the time. The problem appears to be in the ignition switch.

Car has intermittent stalling issues while driving. Car has been serviced in leesburg Honda, only known thru carfax report. Leesburg Honda could not verify if ignition switch was repaired from recall status. Verification came from charlottesville brown's Honda that switch was replaced but not by who. Told if key was shook while running and car stalled then it was ignition switch. Car still persists intermittently in shutting off with no warning signs. Sometimes, after stall, it takes several turns of key to finally get car started. Stalling can happen at any time and has in fast lanes of highways making car a little hard to steer of the road. Only hazard lights work to send warning sign of car trouble.

My wife was in drive-thru at mcdonald's when the engine died suddenly. She was able to started back up right away by turning the ignition off and on to crank the engine. Later around 1pm on the same day, while driving on hwy 101 at 65 mph, the engine died suddenly, the 'key in ignition warning' came on that warns the driver not to forget to take the key out before leaving the vehicle. The car coasted with engine dead just a short distance and the engine started up again. The car ran fine after that until my wife got home. I googled '1999 Honda Accord engine shut off while driving' and found a dozen other drivers had posted about the similar problem with their Honda Accord. I found that the ignition switch is the cause of engine shut-off and there's Honda recall on them. The car had a problem with the ignition switch in November 2006 at 135,500 miles. While driving on the freeway, smoke came out of the steering column and the car started jerking. The ignition switch was replaced at a dealer after having the car towed there.

While driving down the high way, my car just turned off and had to pull over the right side of the road. Luckily it was not busy, but it has been happening a lot lately. That means I don't have a car. I looked online and they have a faulty ignition switch. At first I changed the main relay to a brand new one from Honda. But it still did the same thing, till it didn't start again.

Honda needs to recall their recall of the ignition switch. At their suggestion I had the ignition switch replaced several years ago when it was not a problem. Just recently I had a problem with their replacement and had to have it replaced again. Why was the original switch a safety concern in their eyes but their defective replacement switch is not a safety concern. I feel they should be held accountable for the failure of their replacement switch.
