Could not start car on 2 occasions months apart. Originally thought steering wheel was locked hard against switch. This time switch easily turned but car seemed to have dead battery. Both times no further indication of battery problems.

I was driving on 1995 expressway at 65 mph, when the car completely died, I managed to coast it into a breakdown lane. I called the police thinking I had a computer chip problem that happened to a previous Honda. Finally noticed that the radio was working and there had been a key symbol on the dashboard before it went out. I was able to start the car up and then realized that the ignition key had slipped forward into the off position while I was driving. I had not touched it, nothing jarred it and I cannot repeat it by hitting or leaning on the other items on the key chain. I noticed that the key has a lot of room to jiggle in the igniition switch. Checked your NHTSA to see similar problems with Honda. Very concerned. Honda will not see the car until next week, they claimed of hearing about it in older cars but not newer.

Intermittently my V6 ex 2004 Accord is difficult to start, and requires several attempts to get started. The dealer tell me that this is "normal" for this make and is related to the computer chip in the car. It seems that this was also a problem with the 2003 Accord. It appears that no resolution is possible.
