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. *TR

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF TWICE ON THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT SOME OLD HONDA MODELS HAD THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS AND IT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTED IGNITION SWITCH. I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER BUT THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL REGARDING OF THIS PROBLEM. I GOT MY IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED IN A MECHANIC SHOP. *JS

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. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. MY CAR STARTED TRYING TO GO OUT ON ME LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING THE FUEL IT NEEDED OR SOMETHING. I WAS GOING 65MPH AND THEN ALSO WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT IT TRIES TO IDLE OUT OR IT DOES GO OUT. *TR
