Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING FROM INDIANAPOLIS TO COLUMBUS, IN ON I-65 IN A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY ABOUT 6:00 PM ON 9/23/2006. AFTER TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES ON I-65 (SOUTH) I NOTICED A SMELL LIKE HOT INSULATION AND SEVERAL MINUTES LATE SAW SMOKE RISING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN COVER. SMOKING CONTINUED AS I PROCEEDED TOWARD AN EXIT. I FELT THE TOP STEERING COLUMN COVER AND IT FELT WARM OVER THE LEFT TOP SIDE AS THE SMOKE CONTINUED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MIN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. I COASTED TO A STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF I-65 AND THE SMOKE DISSIPATED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RE-START. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED BUT I SUSPECT THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH OVERHEATED AND FAILED. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED IN 2002 AS PART OF NHTSA RECALL. *JB
