Vehicle, 1995 honda odyssey, randomly and suddenly stalled--engine suddenly quit and dash lights went out. Engine would not restart, then would start but immediately quit when ignition key was released from start position. Also, dash lights behaved abnormally when trying to restart-- they all blinked together in random fashion, or together dimmed and went out, or simply would not come on at all. This stall, or failure to start and run, has occurred whether the vehicle has been warm and running for 30 minutes or more, or has been parked and cold overnight. This random stall has now happened while driving in the middle of high speed heavy traffic. But for a fortunate opening and quick maneuver to a safety lane, we and probably other motorists would have crashed, burned and died. We are not driving the vehicle for fear of something like this happening again but with tragic results. We have just learned there have been separate government ordered recalls for this problem years ago in australia and in canada. Where has the united states of america been? Owned by big business and big money? On an eight year vacation with george (worthless) bush? Both, I'm sure.

While driving home from work at the kennedy space center on sr 405, the engine suddenly shut off and could not be restarted. Hot melted solder from the ignition switch dripped on my foot burning me as I was trying to maintain control of the vehicle and come to a safe stop off the road. The car could not be restarted and had to be towed to a repair shop. The ignition switch had failed, overheated, melted and had to be replaced.

I needed to take my son to the dr.'s office and when I went to start my 1995 honda odyssey it wouldn't start. I had to hold the key on in the run position, give it gas and put it in drive and it was able to go. Car seemed to be ok after that and I had to take my disabled father-in-law to run errands we went ahead. While waiting for him to get a rx, I had the car running as it was a cold day and my 3 year old was in the car. It quit running after a minute and I wasn't able to start it again for a few minutes. Told my husband about it when I picked him up and he checked the oil etc. And then it seemed to be fine. Next day my husband was driving home in traffic and the car died on him right in the middle of driving! Some other drivers helped him push it off the road and then someone used jumper cables and it started running again. After a few minutes it died and would not restart. After checking battery connections etc. And trying to get it to start again, finally after an hour it started. Went to auto parts store and had battery tested - was at 1/2 capacity so replaced it thinking it would solve the problem. On the way home from the auto part store it died again right in the middle of traffic. We did research on the web and discovered it is the same problem that was recalled on later years with the ignition switch. Called the dealer this morning to see if our VIN # was on the list and it is not!!! I do not understand why I have to pay for a problem that is known to exist because my car year is not on the approved list. It is exactly the same part for our 1995 honda odyssey as for the 1997 ones + that were recalled.

Intermittent failure to start or immediate stall with all dash lights going out. Next, it stalled while I was going through a busy intersection at rush hour. I managed to avoid a crash and turn into a driveway. It started up after a few tries. It is now at a local repair shop. Mechanic says it is ignition switch failure. I would have it towed to the dealer, but for some reason it is not included in ignition switch recall #02vi20000. Will have local mechanic repair, would like honda to reimburse.

Ignition switch burnt up while traveling with family causing the motor to shut down including all power (brakes, steering, dash indicators). Seems to be the same problem that honda recalled on 1997-2000 vehicles. The vehicle is a 1995 honda odyssey with 128000 miles. The switch failed several times on a 4 hour drive home before finally failing completely the following day. Honda chooses not to cover this defective part, since the VIN doesn't match their database search with the 1997-2000 recall.
