2002 Honda Civic lx the car will shut down with no indication that anything is wrong. The engine shuts down, but all other options work-radio,a/c, lights, etc. After letting the car sit for 10-20 minutes the car fires up as nothing is wrong at all. This has happened 5 times in the last 4 weeks (500 miles of driving) 142,000 miles on car. I have replaced coil packs, relays and fuel pump. I believe, after researching online, that this issue is related to the ignition switch just like the 1997-2000 Honda recall on 3. 3 million Honda products in may 2002. We have been fortunate enough to safely get the car to the side of the road at 70 mph (coasting). I will be replacing my igintion switch to solve this problem ASAP. .
