Car randomly turns off....

Thanks all! I'm going to look into the ignition recall. Any guidelines or a certain date on that recall or you think I should be able to just do it?

Call your local dealer and ask them if your car qualifies for any recall campaign. They will be able to check when you give them your VIN #

i had the same problem it ended up being my main fuse relay every time it got hot out side the car cut off i ended up checking on the recall and buying a new fuel pump but the main fuse relay was my reason

Even if your car has done the ignition switch recall already it could very well be the ignition switch again! I learned that the hard way. I'm just hoping mine won't need a 3rd!

Like I was going to say, don't forget about the main relay and its solder problem when it gets hot.

Wasn't aware of an iginition recall though, looks like our Accords had more than I thought.

My car didn't qualify for an ignition recall. They told me the 2000's were fine.

It happened again and this time the car wouldnt turn back on. Waited 25 minutes turned on and drove for a bit then turned off again and wouldnt turn back on. I had it towed to my local quality shop.
I'll ask them about the main fuse relay. Thanks.

Main fuse relay it was. Honda is saying mine isn't a recall though?

i don't think there was one for the main fuse relay.

I'm sorry it was the Fuel Injection relay. That's probably why. Either way thanks for all the great info!
