Car stalls unexpectedly. This happened twice, luckily on local streets and at very slow speeds. Both times car restarted easily. Honda had replaced the ignition switch on recall back in 2003 by the original owner--i'm the second owner-- but now with over 200,000 miles the problem seems to have returned. Called american honda and they suggested i have the problem diagnosed at a honda service center at my expense.…

I was driving my 1999 honda civic lx and out of no where it stalled coming up to a stop sign. No warning lights on the dash came on. It also gave a little shake while holding onto the steering wheel.it took a few ignition turns before it started back up. This was the start of many to come stalling out or several attempts at starting the vehicle. This happens intermittently. It will start...it won't start...it…

While i was driving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering. It suddenly just quits. The radio, heater fan, brake lights were still working. When the key is turned to 'start', the engine starts but as soon as you released the key to spring back to the 'run' position, the engine would quit. I just got this vehicle from my friend and i am the 3rd owner. She told me the car was not in a good…

On 7/27/13, my son was driving and stopped at a traffic light. Prior to driving everything seemed fine. When he pulled off from the traffic light and the car got to about 25 mph the engine line flashed and the car suddenly stopped. He was able to pull off to the side into a parking lot, popped the hood and take a quick look to see if anything was wrong. He couldn't see anything and of course he's not a mechanic. He…

The car engine stalls while driving soon after starting. It will happen typically while the car starts hot, either if the weather is hot or if the car was already warm from driving. The engine will also fail to stay started unless i turn the starter engine over a few times extra. I believe this is a result of the faulty ignition switch which was recalled for similar vehicle models. *tr

Vehicle stalls without notice, can't accelerate anymore when it happens, have to throw hazard lights on and pull over into emergency lane. If not in motion, car will just stall, and cars behind will rear end my vehicle if not paying attention. This is a huge safety concern, it can cause an accident. I brought this up to american honda, but, my vin does not qualify for the recall they had on the electrical ignition…
