general problems of the 1999 Honda Civic

I left work as usual when shortly after near my work I began to smell a strong gasoline smell and I parked to check the vehicle when I turned off the vehicle it made a slight explosion and caught fire.

While driving on the highway car engine shut off and completely lost power. After getting on to the shoulder car would not start, electric windows would not operate. Approximately 30 minutes later car started and made it home on city streets. Have not driven it since. Checked and did not find any recalls on this.

Air condition unit stop working the smell of smoke.

Engine periodically stalls without warning while driving. After a few minutes, engine re-starts, but may then stall again. It has happened all times of day [morning, afternoon, etc] and at various speeds [ under 20 mph, at 60mph] . This is now happening with increasing frequency. Was initially once every few months, and is now every few days.

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.

Takata recall lights flashing/flickering in and out while driving inside and out. There are many forms online where this is happening to people with a Honda Civic from 1998-2000.

Car shuts off while driving.

While driving car shuts off. Able to restart, but after awhile. Somehow when I drive at night it doesn't shut off. When starting car I need to hold key in start position. If I let go it returns and dies out.

My son was driving home and the car shut off all of the sudden? he noticed the rpm gauge just dropping and he gave it some gas be rpm's continued down, he pulled into a business, stopped and opened hood to see or smell for any rubber, burnt , possibly if the timing belt was busted. He called me and we talked about what was going on, so after a couple of minutes he tried to start the car and it started right up. A few times I started the car and as I drove car just died. At times you try to start the car and it may take a few times ,it would want to start up then turn off, and just a few days ago I started the car , waited a few minutes reversed it and car died than when I was starting to leave then car would turn off.

When driving @ various speeds in motion on major and minor roads it will just cut off and can be restarted . I took it too Honda dealership and they said that my VIN # wasn't in the recall . The rep told me that it did happen to other Civics (ignitions in the same model year ) but not mine . I told him if it is doing the same thing as the recall and my Civic is within the recall dates . This is a safety issue and quite possible the recall should be broadened . This.
