Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 1994 honda accord. On several occasions while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle's rpms lowered and the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with an ignition output signal malfunction. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 215,000.
The car lost power while I was sitting at a red light. I thought it had stalled, and it took me a couple of minutes to get it restarted. While I was driving home a few minutes later, the car lost power while I was driving. Again, I thought it had stalled, but I thought it odd the car would stall while driving at speeds around 45 MPH. I had to coast on the momentum of the speed the car was traveling before it lost power. I had to maneuver across 2 lanes of busy and fast-moving traffic and barely made it to the right shoulder before the car stopped. I feel I only made it off the road because the driver of the pickup behind me realized something was wrong, and he straddled the lanes of traffic behind me, forcing traffic to slow down so I could get through. I feel a serious accident could have occurred had this driver not done what he did. Again, it took me a couple of minutes to restart it. I made it home fine, and we took it to our mechanic, who searched the engine, tuned up the car, but found no reason why it would have stalled. When I drove it again, the problem occurred again, this time when I was waiting to turn left into my home driveway. I switched my hazard lights on, but I'm not sure the lights actually turned on, because it took the drivers behind me some time to realize that I wasn't going to be turning left after traffic cleared. This time, I noticed that all power to the dashboard indicators was gone, and that the car had not actually stalled as I had originally thought the first time the problem occurred. A return trip to the mechanic confirmed that the entire ignition control unit and the ignition coil was no longer functioning properly, and he replaced it. There have been no problems with the car since the module was replaced, and it's been a few months. We had the recurrent problems in the 2 weeks leading up to when we had the ignition control unit and ignition coil replaced on 9/22/06.
Im driving down the road, and the car just stalls. I had to use two hands to get her off the road,because of no steering, and try to start her again. She will turn over but wont start. Had to have her towed. This is the second time in a week. Had battery,alternator,and all connections checked,nothing. Now its at the dealer and im sure they are going to sock it to me!they claim there is no recall on my VIN ,but why did I see on the internet lots of stories of the same problem,and was considered on the recall? I am a women and thank god my son was not in the car!it was very scary! Please help. Thank you for your time. God bless, michelle davis.
Faulty ignition switch on honda accord 1994 ex sedan. While drving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits.when you finally coast to a stop and try to re-start, it immediately re-starts and runs okay.when the key is turned to 'start', the engine did start but as soon as you released the key to spring back to the 'run' position, the engine would quit. Eventually, it would stay running but it quit reguarly after that. I am going to repalce the part by tomarrow becuase this is serious . The car stopped in the highway , the stering wheel stop because it is hydraulic and ABS brake stoped working.
While drving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits. The radio, heater fan, and brake lights still work. I was driving on the freeway in morning traffic going 70mph and the tachometer and speedometer went to zero and the engine quite. A second later the engine restarts. This happened twice on the freeway. I also have trouble running the car. It will start but not run. To have the engine continue to run the key needs to be forced forward. I needed to have my car towed and the tow truck driver attempted to start my car and told me he has seen this problem numerous times in honda's and acura's. He said the ignition switch is faulty.
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning, the vehicle shut down and would not restart. The dealership is aware of the problem. Mr per invoice, intermittent/no start condition or stalling. Replaced-ignition switch.
While driving vehicle another vehicle was stalled in the middle lane, noticed it too late to apply brakes, rearended the vehicle.
