First incident occurred before stopping in an intersection, as this driver was applying brake the dashboard just flickered and the vehicle stalled and lost power while the key was still in the ignition switch and the vehicle was in drive gear position. The car behind us almost hit us. The van restarted when the gear was put on park and restarted. Second incident occurred this same night, this driver was driving the vehicle at 35 mph when the key dashboard display flickered 3 times then the vehicle lost power and stalled. The engine was not running and driver unable to maneuver vehicle. We were lucky because I was able to pull over without us being hit from behind. We have owned this vehicle for almost five yes and this is the 1st time it happened at the same night. I am very concerned about this because this is the primary Transport for my pregnant wife and my 2 kids. As far as I know as the dealer told me before my vehicle was part of a recall with regards to ignition failure 02V120000 and 03V423000. My question will be is the replacement part that they have put on was defective too or is this a new problem. What will be my course of action now? I'm planning to take this vehicle to the dealer tomorrow. My Honda vehicle has always been service by Honda. I would appreciate your reply.

Engine stopped while driving on turnpike. Restarted while trying to get off of the road. Honda dealer replaced start switch. It was replaced at 65000 miles under recall. Current mileage 127,000 miles. I guess that it has to be replaced every 60,000 miles or so. $385 to replace it this time. Honda said that they would replace it only once. Mechanic said that it is the same as the original. Never improved upon. Definitely a safety hazard.

My 1999 Honda Odyssey exhibited all the symptoms of the existing Honda safety recall for ignition switch failure. My van stalled many times in traffic causing a road hazard. My van was originally repaired under this recall in May 2002 but, obviously, this repair did not correct the defect. Honda has refused to cover the additional repair under the safety campaign stating they only cover one repair per vehicle.

The contact owns a 1999 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the engine stalls without warning and all of the instrument panel lights illuminate. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under recall number 02V120000 (electrical system:ignition:switch), yet the failure persists. The contact also stated that the sensor to the electronic door does not sense movement properly, which fails to keep the door opened or closed. On several occasions, she was nearly crushed by the door. The dealer has not been notified. The speed was unknown. The failure mileage was 93,000 and current mileage was 94,000.

: the contact stated while driving 20 mph on dry asphalt roads, the vehicle did not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed all the way to the floor. There was no response. The vehicle was pulled to the side of the road, and all the warning lights illuminated. It was taken to a service dealer, who was unable to duplicate the problem. Updated 10/30/2006 - the dealer replaced electrical parts. The recalled part had been previously replaced when the recall was receibed about two years ago.

We bought a 1999 Honda Odyssey from carmax and the first week that we got the car the check engine light came on and we took it to carmax. According to them they fixed the problem and everything was fine the engine light went off. Then when it came back on for the same problem they apparently fixed it again. This happened a few times. Now we didn't have warranty and our van was acting up. The transmission would give a jerk when going from 1st to 2nd gear. The egr ports were clogged and the catalytic converter was messed up from day 1. we took it to our Honda dealership and they said it wasn't the transmission, but it was. About a 4 months later it got really bad and we had to get our transmission rebuilt, the ignition switch problem started also (the car engine would stall randomly and it we would have to stop the car on the shoulder of the freeway and restart the car going at 60 mph+), now we spent 2500 bucks to get everything fixed. But now our electrical system is bad. The in dash lights don't work and the back lights don't work. The doors just died for some reason. One second the handles would work and the next second the handles are dead from inside. Our alarm system doesn't work either because of the electric problem. All we want is our car to be fixed. We've been lied to by carmax and the Honda dealership over and over. Can you guys just help us fix our car?

Beginning in 2000, when the car was less than one year old, we have experienced major equipment failures. First, the egr valve malfunctioned; it was eventually repaired at Honda's expense. Next, one of the motors for the side power doors failed. That cost approximately $800 to repair. Then, the transmission failed, and Honda eventually covered the full costs under an extended warranty. For at least four years, we were plagued with an erratic "check engine" light, and sometimes the computer code was inadequate to direct a repair. In 2003 the radiator rotted out, and the replacement/repair cost us $800. In 2004 the catalytic convertor failed, and that replacement/repair cost us $1400. On July 22, 2005, the rear A/C vents failed to cool, and I called for an appointment at our local dealer to have that checked and repaired. The repair was scheduled for July 25, 2005. When I was driving the car on July 23 with the A/C turned on (the front vents continued to cool), the engine died while I was driving at a speed of 45 mph on a local highway. I managed to pull off into a nearby parking lot, and I was able to restart the car after turning off the A/C. it is now at the dealer's shop, and the labor costs alone to determine the cause of the A/C failure will cost more than $350. After inspecting the system for more than three hours July 25, the dealer's mechanic still could not locate the source of the problem. Needless to say, I hate this car! I have had many more problems than I ever expected, and the responses from american Honda and from the local dealer have been disappointing. Neither establishment knows how to relate successfully to customers. This car has been a real lemon, and I am struggling with my decision about what to buy to replace it. Although Honda has a good reputation, I have not found this car to be reliable. In fact, it is a major source of stress in my life, causing me to gnash my teeth when I am driving it, for I have no confidence in it at all.
