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.

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 failed, causing vehicle to stall intermittantly (very, very dangerous when pulling out into traffic!) and making it nearly impossible to start (key had to be held between acc and on). Swith disassembly revealed molten pitting on one contact. Filing contacts restored normal operation, but copper now lacks silver plating, which may accelerate corrosion. New switch purchased from dealer for $60 and diy replacement took approx. 15 minutes to install (two screws and several harness clips). Vehiicle was not covered by honda recall for later (and mechanically identical) models.
