Problems with 1999 Honda Odyssey ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Ignition switch recall

Several times over past two weeks vehicle has stalled unexpectedly shortly after starting or while driving - dashboard lights and gauges (including odometer) all blank except 3 blinks of green "key" light (immobilizer indicator); accessories stay operational (radio, etc) but engine shuts off. will re-start after a few tries, typically; failed tries include engine starting while key held in start position but dying immediately when returning key to "run" position. will stay running if key is held between "start" and "run" location. when this happened while driving, was able to shift to neutral while coasting and restart the engine, holding key near start, to get enough runtime to get the car to a safe place off the road. recall to this effect apparently was performed back in 2002-2003; looks like recurrence of same problem?? what are my recourses?

Recently, while traveling on interstate 94, the check engine light came on in my vehicle along with a light that reads "tcs". shortly after these two lights came on, my vehicle began having problems accelerating. when i drive my vehicle, i have problems with the van taking off and maintaining stability once in motion. during travel on highways, freeways, interstates, or city streets, my vehicle violently shifts from first gear to second gear when i press on the accelerator, causing it to slow down unexpectedly before jerking into motion in the middle of traffic. also, during recent night time travel the headlights began to flicker, go dim then get bright again. the vehicle also slows down when turning corners then will suddenly jump into motion. also, the driver side passenger door recently went off track causing a screaming alarm to sound during travel. i have recently had to have the high pressure power steering line replaced because it had a hole in the upper hose.i am extremely concerned that the poor acceleration of my vehicle and the violent jerking from first to second gear will cause an accident. my vehicle is my only mode of transportation to work, school ...

Our 1999 honda odyssey has had the p0740 torque clutch converter solenoid circuit (open) code displayed numerous times, we thought since it was a serious issue and the transmission had already been replaced within 20,000 miles that we should actually take it to the dealer in marysville, wa and have them do a transmission flush then a supervisor and said no you should have us run a diagnostic by one of our master techs. after reiterating this seriousness of our transmission issue the code coming on and delays in shifting mostly just barely noticeable, they assured us if we paid $129 for a diagnostic that a master tech could get to the issue, however they later told us after we got the car back and called on the issue that an apprentice (not a master tech) had done the entire inspection and came up with no problems except a different code having to do with up bad catalytic converter which had never been an issue before and told us we may need to get that replaced soon. the transmission code p0740 came up on our way home from the dealership. i told them of the code and the research i ...

Driving the vehicle without sputtering or otherwise indicating a problem all gauges and engine cuts out, i can put the vehicle in neutral and usually it will restart and go, but lately not all the time. it may take getting to the side of the road putting it in park and restart 3 or 4 times and then stay running and not have a problem for a few days. when it does this on the interstate traveling at 70 mph with no warning, this can be dangerous for the person behind me. when it stops running and i lose power steering, brakes and coasting trying to restart while in neutral praying i don't get hit from behind as i navigate decelerating cutting across traffic to the shoulder. scary. chances are my airbag won't work either at this critical time if the brakes fail to stop me. all the built in safety features are not working.

While driving in the highway at 65 mph, my 99 odyssey engine died and every thing turned off !! of course the steering wheel became too hard to operate and steer. fortunately i was at far right lane. than it started doing the same thing more often. i wonder if the honda dealers would fix that free of charge, since i heard that was a recall about the same problem. *tr
