1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL JUST STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. EXTREMELY PERILOUS WHEN IT HAPPENS IN A TURN AND AT LOW SPEEDS BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING OR IF SITTING AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. IT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE IGNITION. DASH LIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT FLASH ON AN OFF. ADJUSTMENT OF THE IGNITION KEY POSITION/ANGLE FIXES IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF AND HAVE TO BE RESTARTED WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN DRIVING AT FAST SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ITSELF. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 147,500. * UPDATED 12/12/07 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I HAVE A 99 HONDA ACCORD IN WHICH THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND REALIZED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART AND TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE ALTERNATOR BUT THE MECHANIC SAID NO BECAUSE THE LIGHT WOULD HAVE COME ON. HE SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THESE IN 2003. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BECAUSE HONDA SAID MY SWITCH WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AS THE SWITCH WITH THE RECALL. I CALLED HONDA TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND TO FIND OUT WHY THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO LITTLE GIRLS WHO RIDE IN THIS CAR WHICH BY THE WAY IS MY ONLY CAR AND WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
