My vehicle turned off while I was driving. I was driving about 15 -20 MPH on a main st. Light lit up on the dash, then all dash lights went out, the power steering stopped working and the brakes stopped as well. I had to slam my foot on the brakes to keep from hitting a vehicle at a light.

Takata recall I had problems with getting the key to turn in the ignition. It eventually failed. I was informed by a professional that it was the key. I had the key replaced. Honda tried to charge me for the key knowing that there was a recall. Too, my headlights have always been very dimmed. I have bought several replacements. They still appear very dim.

Car was in motion driving 70 MPH and engine cut out, maintenance required light flashed, power steering locked, car jolted. It did this twice within a matter of seconds and restarted both times. I just purchased the car for my 17 year old and it happened two days after we bought it. I tried to replicate it but could not. I ran the VIN looking for recalls before purchase but found none for my vehicle. After this happened I saw all of the complaints regarding ignition switch problems. I took the car back to the used car dealer who has a mechanic onsite and I showed him the complaints I had found that were similar to what happened. I had him remove and inspect the ignition switch. He did find upon observation that it looked like there had been some electrical sparks and I believe he said some corrosion too, and that it was defective. I paid him to put in a new one as this issue is a serious safety issue. I am thankful the failure was only a couple of seconds and that the car restarted, otherwise I'm not sure my daughter would have been able to safely steer the car off the highway at such a high rate of speed and because she is not an experienced driver. The car has only 81,500 miles and I believe only had one owner prior to my purchase. I was so excited to get an accord with low miles, but this is a serious issue and hazard.
I was driving on the freeway going at highway speeds when all of a sudden, my engine stalls. I immediately put on my hazard lights and was almost hit by a car behind me as my car was coasting. Luckily, I was able to steer my car off to the shoulder as was able to start my car again. In doing some investigating online, it appears the main issue is with the ignition switch. There were a few recalls on the ignition switch which I had gone to the dealer to take care of (year 2002 and 2005). It appears the ignition switch that has been replaced is still faulty. I have around 143k miles on my car when the last incident occurred. I had this occurrence happen a few other times within the past few months, but at slower speeds. I want to report this because I believe this recall replacement part didn't fix the problem and can still endanger the lives of other drivers of this type of vehicle.
My 99 honda accord has started loosing power and shutting down while driving, took to independent mechanic who replaced plugs and wires we have replaced wires twice in less then 6 months but this hasn't fixed the problem. After reading the complaints I see quite a few others have same problem. This is a safety issue and car should be recalled!

Same issue as everyone else with a 1999 honda accord VIN # starting with 1hgcg, was told by honda my vehicle did not fall under the recall. My car will turn off while driving down the road, I've had it happen at 70 MPH and I have had it happen at 15 MPH. Normally will turn off and restart itself (while driving) and the key signal will flash. The past two times my car has completely turned off on the interstate and I had to fight to get over before getting killed. As well as, my car has turned off while in drive as I was slowing down to park and the key could be removed from the ignition. If these were the recalls and I have a 1999 honda I do not understand why my car is not included. I promise I will call everyone I have to, to make this right. I have a child and I can not be stalling while driving down the interstate.

My car has been randomly shutting off while driving for several months. No one could tell me exactly what was causing it. This problem has occurred numerous times including on the interstate. There is no warning other than lights flashing on the dash and then cuts off. I lose my power steering and can barely get it to the side of the road to restart it. Nine times out of ten it will restart on the first try but sometimes I have to work with it to get it to start again. I noticed that there are many honda accords that have this problem and there was actually a recall on 97-2000 honda accords. I called honda and they told me my specific VIN number is not covered under the recall. Ive noticed that there are several people who aren't covered under the recall with 99 honda accords whose VIN number begins in 1hgcg just as mine does and are having the same problem. So obviously it is a safety issue that is a manufacturer default. It does not take a rocket scientist to gather that. What will it take to get honda to recall it?

1999 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to the faulty ignition switch recall. *smd the consumer stated the ignition switch module was replaced per the recall. However, the replacement part failed, too. The ignition module was replaced a total of three times.
When I'm driving along, the car will suddenly die. No sputter, no nothing, just dead. This happened a few times and I just took it to honda. Searching on the internet says that electrical switch seems to be the problem. However, I called the honda dealer at dch kay honda, 200 nj-36, eatontown, nj 07724. They said no complaints or recall on my VIN. This is safety issue as it may stop at any time during the driving.
Recall order for ignition switch replacement was never brought to dealer to perform. Now that problem has occurred dealership repair claims to have done work on two recall items that were never brought in for repair. I.e., fraudulent claim of replacement work was filed with honda by dealership. Claim repair was done 1/28/2006. Have all repair records from 2000.

I have a 1999 honda accord and I jus paid to get front headlight wire replaced because I could not use low beam lights only high beam. Light is working now but there is a suspension and/or electrical problem I need to check. The heat/air doesnot come on? Is this car safe to drive?
Car cuts off at different speeds with no warning. Stop car cut off switch and it will start after 1 or 2 attempts. Honda had recalled this in 2004 and replaced the ignition switch on car but this one also went bad I. Replaced with new ignition switch and have not had this problem so far.
On march 3, 2015 my wife's 1999 accord would not start. We had the starter replaced for about $550.00 but the car was still near impossible to start and the engine can cut out at any time once you do have it started. The auto repairman told us the keys made poor contact inside the ignition switch and that was why it was still so hard to start. He taught us a tedious process to start the car but since then when we drive it the engine can suddenly stop running and stopp, also disabling the power steering. The car is no longer safe to drive. It stopped running 4 times on a 10 mile trip today.
I have a 1999 honda accord ex four cylinder stick shift sedan. Three or four times a year, ever since I got the car the engine has suddenly stopped for no apparent reason while driving. It usually happens when I push the clutch pedal in, as when down-shifting for a turn. I took it back to the dealer, but they could not fix it, and told me they had no idea what was causing it. My regular mechanic was also unable to diagnose the cause when I asked him to, a year or so after I got the car. The car continues to malfunction in this way, and I am simply alert to it. It always starts right back up when I either pop the clutch or use the starter. Judging from the recall information on this website, the cause is a defective ignition switch, but I never received a recall notice.
Is happening regularly! Car is cutting off. Play with the ignition switch and car turns on. Daughter almost had accident today due to this issue. Checked VIN and was not on recall list! Why?!
All the lights, radio, dashboard came on, but when I turned the ignition to start it wouldn't turnover. Also when I go to slow down or stop the car cuts completely off. It happens more often than it doesn't.
I wanted to complain because this is the 2nd time within 5 years that I'm having to have my egr port cleaned again which is costly. Also I the same thing with the ignition switch wires, which were recalled and replaced 5 years later also trying to spark a fire. I am still the original owner of my honda and having the same problem once again about my egr after I paid lots of $$$$$$$$$$.I think somebody need to investigate if the parts only last for 5 years at a time.
