Vehicle dies in traffic for no apparent reason. starts right up. went online to see what the problem could be and ran across information concerning a recall for 97 to 99 honda's. my car is exhibiting the same exact problem described in this recall. however when i enter the vin it comes across as not having this problem with the key switch. when the car dies in traffic it is not only the engine but all the electrical power as well. could my vin just be an oversight and should be included in this recall? i bought this car new and it has been a great car but this issue is becoming a real safety issue. the car just recently started to do this and it does it at any speed and city or highway driving.

Car shuts off while driving
My car has been stalling and losing power without any warning while driving, most often on the freeway. after several tries it starts back up. this creates a potentially very dangerous driving situation. somehow, as with many other drivers i have researched and read about, my vin was not included in the 2002 recall for the ignition switch (faulty electrical component) including honda civics from 1999. no other repairs so far have fixed the problem. if this is indeed the problem, (the ignition switch) we very strongly feel (like many others) that it is the responsibility of honda to take care of the replacement.
