Purchased used vehicle in march 2006. In may 2006 I experienced an engine cutout while driving on the highway. This symptom still exists intermittently. When this happens the immobilization light also comes on. I also experience a starting problem with the car intermittently. The dash lights normally come on when the car starts. When the car does not start, the check engine light and the immobilization indicator light are both off. I've also seen instances where the other lights are off and only the check engine light is on. If I let the car sit for 10 minutes or more, it will start. I've had the car to the honda dealer service department. They checked my keys which were ok. They also replaced the main relay and the main computer and I am still having the problem. They are of no further help.

My 2001 honda accord has some "engine shut off" problem which I have had the dealer look at and they did not find any problems. I have had a friend that has had the same problem and it turned out to be the "ignition switch", but his car is a 1999 honda accord. He then showed me this recall on his car about it. The recall read, ake : honda model : accord year : 1999 manufacturer : american honda motor co. The federal safety agency campaign id number : 02v120000 recall date : may 13, 2002 component: electrical system:ignition:switch potential number of units affected : 1000000 summary: 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. Consequence: worn contacts could cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the ignition switch. Owner notification began june 14, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009 or acura at 1‑800‑382‑2238. Http://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/results.cfm as of today the car has not yet been fixed because the dealer told me that they have to see and have the problem happen to them. I don't know when it will happen, after it happens the car won't start and when it sits for a little bit it starts up. So buy the time the dealer look at it ,it is running fine. Over time it is just getting worse and more frequently. I have should them this recall and they have told me that all good but they cant do anything with it with out seeing it for themselves. So at this point I have to live with it. Because if I fix it myself I will cancel my extended auto warranty. Trenton fisher.

After checking further my mechanic found out that it was the transmission that was locked up. My car has 100,002 miles when this happened.

Car wouldn't start and stuck in park. Diagnosed as wiring harness that rubbed against body and melted. Car has not been in an accident. Seems defective to me and should be covered!
