My 99 honda accord ex cuts off while traveling down the road without warning. This is due to ignition sensor which i corrected shortly after buying my car with rick hendrick honda. Now years later there is a recall on the ignition interlock. But, honda will not fix the ignition senor because it has nothing to do with the recall.

Sometimes my car will just stop running without warning. Extremely perilous when it happens in a turn and at low speeds because of loss of power steering or if sitting at a traffic signal. It appears to be related to the ignition. Dash lights may or may not flash on an off. Adjustment of the ignition key position/angle fixes it until it happens again. Has happened about 10 times in the last year. *tr

Then we started noticing a sort of grinding noise when we would start the car which came from the key ignition. The car wouldn't start so…
