Multiple warning lights by model year
What owners say
While driving down the highway the instruments on the dash went to zero and the engine shut down followed by all of the warning lights illuminating and the engine restarting. This cycle was repeated several times over an approximate five mile stretch. Shedding the electrical loads didn't seem to help the problem. The problem has returned on other occasions but is very intermittent. Now the engine is developing a starting problem. The van starts but dies immediately when you release the key. It sometimes takes multiple attempts before the van will remain running once the key is released. I found a recall from honda for this issue. The faulty ignition switch was to be replaced with an improved issue for this very issue. I contacted sterling mccall honda in kingwood, tx to have the switch replaced. They informed me that my van has the new style switch already installed so they refuse to cover the replacement of the faulty switch. Obviously the new switch that was supposed to fix this safety issue is not much better than the original. I feel that honda should continue to replace the switches until they are able to design a switch that remedies their design flaw.
1999 honda odyssey complete stall of engine when traveling at 60 MPH. Engine stalls all dash lights come on and car power then comes back. Problem also happens at low speed or at light stalls and needs to be restarted in a few attempts.

Electrical system: ignition: switch
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles and mini vans, the ignition switch may wear excessively and prevent proper interlock operation, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to "park."
- Risk
- If the vehicle operator does not shift to "park" before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
- Remedy
- Dealers will perform an inspection procedure that determines the amount of cylinder body wear. If significant wear is indicated, the dealer will replace the cylinder body, collar, and latch plate. If no signs of wear are indicated, dealers will replace the latch plate with a redesigned part. Owner notification began december 8, 2003. Owners should contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009 or acura at 1‑800‑382‑2238.
