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.

7/8/2013 approaching a stop sign on a flat residential street, the car suddenly died. It restarted right away. The next morning the car died as soon as I put it in gear. Again it restarted. On my way home from work that same day all the lights on the dash came on for a second, but the car did remain on, although there seemed to be a second or two where everything felt like it froze up. Ever since then, I have to hold the key turned for about 5 whole seconds to keep the car started. If I let go right away, the car immediately dies. Then on friday 8/31, all the lights flashed on the dash, and then the car died completely as I was accelerating on the on ramp to the highway. I was able to pull over quickly and fortunately did not cause an accident. After a few minutes the car did restart and I was able to make it home. I called my honda dealer in july after the first incident, and was told they would only look at it for $100 diagnostic fee. I had my local independent mechanic check everything they could think of a few days later , battery, alternator- and the last resort they had was the ignition switch. Honda has already had two recalls on my vehicle for ignition switch issues, 2002 and 2005. The honda dealer was very unwilling to check anything this time around and made it very clear that I would be responsible for paying for the diagnostic check , and that did not seem appropriate given the ignition switch issues in the past.

Driving on highway at 75 miles an hour - check engine light flashed - all dashboard lights flashed and car died...barely made it to side of the road without getting hit. Car was towed, diagnosis was bad ignition switch. I just searched web and found there was a recall in 2002.

All the lights will come on, the RPM will fall to zero, its will kind of chug like if a manual were to stall even though it is an automatic. The spark plugs, ignition switch, distributor and pvc valve have been replaced.

Since 2006 the car has been stalling (RPM's drop to zero and car turns off) started by stalling while on the freeway but would start right back up within seconds would happen once every 3 months. Recently, the problem has accured everyday some time 3 times a day. I could be at a complete stop or on the freeway and the cars' RPM's just drop and all the lights battery light, oil light, check engine light, door and truck light turns on but the radio and A/C stay on. I have almost been rear ended on several occasions and have almost been run over by other motorist trying to push the car out of traffic. I contacted honda headquarters and they told me that there were no recalls on my car and told me it sounded like the ignition switch. So I immediately changed the ignition switch and the next day the car stalled again. I called honda they told me that the tumbler for the key had been recalled and was replaced back in 2003. I bought a new key as the old key was worn and the car did not stall for over 2 months but yesteday car stalled over 3 times. I have had a diagnositic done which said it is the catalytic converter which my mechanic says is totally unrealated to the stalling problem. But I plan to have a new one installed soon. I really need to get this stalling problem fixed immediately as this is problem could cause me or my son to get into an accident and be injuried or even killed. And based on the internet forums I am not the only one having this problem with my honda and honda headquarters doesn't seem like they plan on doing any thing to fix the problem.

All dash lights go out on my 1999 honda accord when the headlights are turned on. A safety recall was done for this problem caused by a defected multiplex control unit on the honda accord years 2000 to 2004. Why are older accords not covered under this recall since the same defective part was installed on them?

On 9/19/02, I was leaving a store when my car started to make a rattling sound. I then lost power steering, all of the warning lights came on and the car stalled. I popped the hood to find that all of the engine belts had been thrown. After two days at the dealership, I was advised the crank bolt (key way and crankshaft pulley) had failed. The honda dealership (don carlton, tulsa, ok) could offer no explanation as to why it happened, only that I was out of warranty. My repair bill was $536.61. I also incurred a $57.34 tow bill to get the car to the dealership.
