I have a 1999 Honda Civic Sedan, Automatic with 130,000 miles 4 cylinder. Car shut off on me at night as I was driving just down the street from my house 25 mph. Lights and all shut off so I turned key off. Then turned key back on and the car started right up. So I turned around and drove car back to house just down the street. What caused that and will it happen again? I don't want to get stranded somewhere? I do know a few years ago there was a recall on this car on the ignition switch and the Honda Dealer replaced it free of charge. Any ideas?

Before you mentiond the recoil I thought ignition switch, I would check it again. Even though it was replaced doesnt mean it wont happen again.

I took it to a repair shop and they said it is the ignition switch and replaced it for me.
