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.

Update to ODI 10444643 filed 1/20/12. I was attempting to turn left at a highway intersection and the Honda totally stalled and the green key light came on the dash. The vehicle did not lose total power but it stalled while a fast vehicle approached from the right. I was afraid I would not get through the intersection without a wreck. It was a terrifying experience. After that first experience the vehicle totally lost power while at a stop sign in a mall. It took 2 attempts to restart car. I could not imagine what the problem could possibly be so I researched the possible problem and found that this Honda had ignition switch problems. I purchased the vehicle in 2007 and it had approximately 121,200 miles. The vehicle was recalled in 2002 due to a defect in the ignition switch. Am "ignition switch update" was completed on 10/1/02 at 59,183 miles. By an authorized Honda dealer. I have had no issues until Jan 2012. Looks like I will have to replace this switch again but it is too dangerous to not address the problem. Can't imagine this problem at 70 mph. Update; took the vehicle to Honda dealer on 1/23/12 and told the tech what I thought the problem was. The test showed it was indeed the ignition switch once again. The cost for replacing was $206. 36.. so, Honda's recall in 2002 did not correct this defect.

Below are bits of a letter I sent in as part of a survey to the Honda dealer: The Honda (H) dealer in ftwaltonbeach, fl refused to replace the recall part. I have emails and numerous attempts to have it replaced; once I discovered there was a recall part, Honda still wouldn't agree to fix it. Initially, I thought they couldn't fix my car problem, so I bought a haynes manual, searched the web and attempted to diagnose it myself. That is how I found out about the recall. I contacted them about my discovery, and they told me I would have to pay for a diagnostic (which was indicated to me that I would have to pay for) to determine if the part truly needed replacing. They refused to replace the part. They stated the part had been replaced only 1/2 way through my struggle to get them to replace it. I was told by H Corp. That it had not been replaced. Honda.com indicated that it needed replacing, and then miraculously mid-ways through my battle with gsh it shows up in the computer as having been replaced. I have had the car since before the recall. I know for a fact that it had not been replaced. I do wonder how many other women and unsuspecting men they have gouged in the pocket to randomly replace good parts ($1000 - $2000 for me). My car finally broke down (wouldn't crank); I was w/out a vehicle for 1 week; one of my friends had it towed to her car dealer. He ran a diagnostic which indicated the recall part needed replacing, dah. He replaced the recall part. It has been about 2 mths now & no car problems at all; where before it had gotten to the point that it was shutting off on me at least once about every 30 M. I have emails with gsh, notes from phone conversations with both gsh and kai, notes from visits to gsh w/ the serv. Dept. Manager and the gsh manager, receipts for the replacement of in warranty parts & randomly replaced new parts, a copy of the fax I sent kai and a confirm. Indicating it went through, in addition to having printouts of my searches on the web.
