Ignition interlock problem. Key can be removed from ignition when car is in neutral or drive. Recognized recall issue. My car is in affected 1999 model year, but not covered because it is not within VIN range!! This should be covered under the recognized vehicle recall. Honda refuses to honor this recall because not in VIN range but lots of other cars in 99 model year have failed because of this. Because of this car will roll if parked and key removed and car is not in park. Interlock is supposed to prevent this from happening. Dangerous! It has happened twice to me. *jb see odi 10054995.
Honda currently has a recall scheduled on their website for 1999 accords involving the ignition switch. This failure causes the car to quit while driving and/or not start properly. These have both happened to me, but honda will not do anything about it as my VIN is not supposed to have a bad switch. My vehicle is acting exactly as described on the website. It has quit while driving two times and not started once. Both times it quit I was driving in traffic. It started right up again. Can anything be done to get my vehicle fixed under the recall. It is unreliable the way it is.

I was driving my 1999 honda accord when my cd started skipping and then my ABS dash light came on. I continued on the highway (a major interstate with heavy traffic) until my exit. When I slowed down at an approaching intersection, my car just died. Absolutely everything quit...radio, AC,etc...car flashers would not work, I was stranded in heavy traffic without any way to let approaching traffic know I had car trouble. Put my hood and trunk up and escaped my car. It was terrible...but would have been much worse if I had still been on I-285 which is a heavily trafficked artery around atlanta with multiple lanes and fast traffic. I got absolutely no warning that this would happen...no dash lights (I.e. Battery indicator light) came on to let me know that my alternator had died. That is why the car quit as I slowed at the intersection...the battery had been drained completely. I have had nightmares about what would have happened to me had I still been on the interstate or had this occurred at night, and I do not feel safe knowing that this could happen again since I travel that busy highway every day! I think this is a major electrical defect. My car was repaired at carey paul honda in snellville ga and they assured me that I did not have an electrical problem...but, no indicator light came on at all! Please investigate this. I will also contact honda of america about this problem.
Driving down the road when the crankshaft pully fell out of the bottom of the engine, resulting in power steeering failure and engine died. The power steering went out, the altenator quit, the water pump quit. Luckily I could coast into a parking lot entrance to get off of the highway.the crankshaft bolt "crystalized" and broke off inside the crankshaft. The timing belt, crankshaft pully and bolt, and the water pump had to be replaced.
Short in the electrical system. The dashboard clock light went out, followed by the AC adapter. About 2 months after the adapter went out (working spuratically) the driver's side power locks stopped working when the car is off and/or the door is opened. I also have a "check engine" light come on when there is nothing wrong with my engine.

I'm having problems with both the ignition and my door locks. I took my vehicle back for the recall, but I am still having problems with stalling, but moreso with the car attempting to turn off. I get flickering of all the indicator lights, and if I do not hit the gas pedal, the car shuts off completely. I also have an ongoing problem with my doors not locking from the driver's side. When I hit the lock button, all doors lock except mine. My alarm system (viper) has an automatic door lock feature but all the doors except the driver's door locks. These problems are ongoing, so it's impossible to give a correct incident date, so I'm giving the date it last happened.
The federal safety agency# 02-v-120- 000: on certain sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, and sport utility vehicles, electrical contacts in the ignition switch can degrade due to the high electrical current passing through the switch when the vehicle is started. This recall failed in this vehicle.
