I've got a 1998 Accord LS, it's done over 70k miles, I've only had it 6 months and until last week it had been perfectly fine. After a 200 mile journey, I took an hours' break. I got back in the car, it started fine, drove for about 1/2 a minute - then I experienced complete power failure - no gas, no lights, nothing. Didn't start first time but then got going in less than a minute. I had it checked out by a mechanic but he'd never heard of such a thing and could find no problem. A week later on my return journey I'd done about 100 miles and was doing about 80mph in the fast lane on the motorway when I felt an interruption in power for less than a second. This time I noticed that the red SRS indicator light came on and then went off again. Luckily the car didn't stop but kept on going. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any idea what to do other than pay out huge amounts for 'exploratory surgery'? Any advice appreciated, Jez

Sounds like failing ignition switch contacts. There's a product update (recall) for this in the US. Don't know if it applies to other parts of the world (Assume you're not in US because there is no "LS" model Accord in US market).
