1999 Honda Accord LX sedan engine just stalled while driving. I was able to start the engine again after pulling over. Check the internet and everyone pointed to ignition switch. I replaced the switch and will keep an eye on the car. Dangerous situation when your car stall while driving.

Ignition switch failure, second occurrence. Car stalls during normal operation. The original recall replaced the ignition switch and repaired the interlock. The switch failed again. Obviously this was not a fix only a delay of the next failure since the same component failed. I used detailed repair instructions from the internet to make the second repair myself. I requested "goodwill" from american Honda which was denied so I am out of pocket for parts and my time to repair. I believe that Honda should be accountable since the replacement part also fails at the same rate as the original component. When this finally causes an accident or death I'm sure they will settle out of court to prevent further loss on this component when all they really had to do was engineer a non-defective replacement. In other words fix it once but fix it right. Honda did not do this and will not warrant the second defective component. They better hope I am not injured when this fails for the third because I have my documentation.

My son's 1999 Honda Accord experienced intermittent ignition failure, forcing him to pull over to the side of the freeway, and then attempt to re-start the car. This occurred randomly over a period of about a month, and was very unsafe. The car has about 117,000 miles on it, and was subject to an earlier recall campaign 02-031, which resulted in changing the ignition switch several years ago at about 52,000 miles. Now the replacement switch failed. He took it to Honda of el cerrito in the bay area and they charged him about $100 and told him they couldn't figure out the problem. I purchased an ignition switch from a discount Honda parts supplier over the internet for about $50, and replaced it myself. I found several internet web sites that described this problem in detail, and I feel that there are many others experiencing the same thing. I have a 99 Accord and a 92 civic which both experienced ignition switch failures, so I had a pretty good idea of what was going wrong, even if the dealer was not being very smart about it. This is very annoying and dangerous. I wish the dealers were more helpful. I spoke with american Honda in torrance, and they told me that since the vehicle was repaired as part of the recall campaign, that if the part failed again, it was my responsibility. Why can't they make an ignition switch that holds up longer than 50,000-60,000 miles? the last time it failed was while I was driving through placerville, California on highway 50 on October 24, 2009. The first time it failed was around the beginning of the month.

While approaching a stop light at North loop 1604 West on 9/26/09, the engine stalled without warning. I had to sit there in the middle of the street and struggle to get it started again and hope no one came behind me. While driving on university campus, the engine stalled out of the blue. It happens about 6 times per day while driving the vehicle on busy city streets. The consequences are extreme stress and fear for mine and others' safety because I don't know when this vehicle will just stop on me. This exact issue is described in NHTSA campaign id number: 02V120000. I called Honda and was told by on operator that there is no such issue with the 1999 Honda Accord and there was only one recall on this particular vehicle, yet I found over 15 recalls on the 1999 Honda Accord by searching the NHTSA website. While it may be true that not all of those recalls may apply to the 1999 Honda Accord that I drive, NHTSA campaign id number: 02V120000 is exactly what is happening to my car when I am driving it.

1999 Honda Accord occasionally shuts off without warning while driving. All car functions fail (power steering, power brakes, turn signals...). will need to replace ignition switch according to dealer. For some reason dealer says NHTSA campaign id number: 02V120000 does not cover my vehicle.

All the lights will come on, the RPM will fall to zero, its will kind of chug like if a manual were to stall even though it is an automatic.

Ignition switch failure vehicle shuts off while driving, a recall of the ignition switch was completed in 2002 for similar problem. NHTSA #02V120000 the vehicle is now exhibiting the same problems addressed in the original recall, I contacted Honda usa on 08/11/2009 to see if they would repair an obvious defect in the ignition switch. I was told they would only repair a recalled item once. Since the replacement switch is also defective and creates a dangerous driving condition, I would hope NHTSA would look into this issue before someone is injured or killed due to Honda's lack of concern for their parts and repairs.

My car began quitting while driving May 2009, however, it would immediately start again. 06/2009-7/2009 when trying to turn the ignition, the dashboard would flicker. After a few tries, the car would start but then quit. On 8/4/2009, while driving the car quit again but then smoke came from behind the steering wheel ( steering column area). Simultaneously, the car quit. The car would not start at all by turning the ignition forward. However when turning it backwards it would try to crank. The car was towed to and now currently sits at bluegrass Honda in paducah, ky. According to Honda, it is the ignition switch, which I found was under recall but the dealership claims that the ignition was replaced in 2002. I don't believe this is true because here I have the very problem that the recall acknowledged. I don't believe I should responsible for payment on a recall, however, the dealership is charging me $200.

I am the owner of a 99 Honda Accord coupe and have been having trouble with my car failing to start in certain types of weather and the longer I've had the car the more the problem has progressed and it is now stalling while I'm driving down the road, including yesterday when I had my 4 month old daughter in the car. If someone had been following too closely who knows the damage that could have been done. Multiple mechanics have looked at it and cannot find anything wrong. I have been on Honda's website and found that there are recalls and mine have been fixed long before I bought the car the only problem is I am still having the problems I've contacted Honda and they seem to be very unwilling to help me further and so I am stuck at this point with a vehicle I'm afraid to drive because I'd be putting myself, my daughter and others on the road in danger. I've recently found the website car complaints.com and under electrical complaints I was baffled at how many people are having the same problems even after their recall had been taken care of also, and that was only one website. I do not have the money to take jabs in the dark replacing parts that don't need replaced especially after I've had to pay to have it towed twice now (not cheap). I should not have to wonder whether or not a car that is in great condition and under 100,000 miles is going to start or not. I hope this complaint will move someone to do something because I have not been able to receive help from anyone else. I feel that this case should be reopened and something should be done to make Honda responsible before someone is seriously injured.

1999 Honda Accord ex car stalls randomly.

- Northglenn, CO, USA

1. car shuts off suddenly without warning while driving. It has happened while idling and when moving 70 mph on the highway. 2. there was a safety recall in 2002 to replace the ignition switch for this same problem. There were no problems at the time but the work to replace the ignition switch was done in 2002. Car began problems early in 2009 with 125,000 miles at random intervals. No accident has occurred but still a very scary incident. 3. since the recall work had already been done, the dealer replaced the main relay after diagnosis showed nothing for a total of $212. Another failure occurred the very same day so I returned to dealer and got the ignition switch replaced at a cost of $146.
