I have a 1999 honda accord ex four cylinder stick shift sedan. three or four times a year, ever since i got the car the engine has suddenly stopped for no apparent reason while driving. it usually happens when i push the clutch pedal in, as when down-shifting for a turn. i took it back to the dealer, but they could not fix it, and told me they had no idea what was causing it. my regular mechanic was also unable to diagnose the cause when i asked him to, a year or so after i got the car. the car continues to malfunction in this way, and i am simply alert to it. it always starts right back up when i either pop the clutch or use the starter. judging from the recall information on this website, the cause is a defective ignition switch, but i never received a recall notice. *js
