1 Ignition Switch problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2019

Yesterday (August 13th) I was driving on a city street about 45 mph and my 2012 Honda Pilot's dashboard went completely dark and the speed went from approx 45 mph to zero in a matter of seconds . I was in the far left lane at the time with cars zipping by me at much faster speeds and I had to "coast " to the right hand shoulder of the road. When I applied the brakes I didn't know if I was going to be able to stop the car but it did come to a stop. Note: the radio still played . I turned off the ignition switch , turned it immediately back on and the car started . I drove on us interstate 85 for 20 more minutes directly to the Honda place that services our vehicle . They have indicated that no codes have showed anything so far and have kept the car overnight to see if they can replicate the incident . My concern obviously is that they will find nothing and I will be back on the road nervous that it can happen again. After reading many sites on the internet regarding this same problem with many model years of Honda Pilot , even brand new ones , it makes me wonder if Honda has really looked into this . Our family has owned many Hondas for many years without ever encountering anything like this . I don't want to go pick my car up today and hear " couldn't find anything wrong " . I drive grandchildren in this car ! this is a very dangerous problem and from the blogs on the internet it seems Honda needs to seriously find the problem before people die . I plead with the powers to be to get to the bottom of this problem before deaths occur. Note: so far the technicians at our Honda dealership act clueless about this and others online have taken their cars back time and time again with no real soloution. You have a great product . . . Now stand behind it, please.
