“On june 28, our 1999 Honda Odyssey lx lost all electrical power and engine power while traveling on I-94 e bound between battle creek mi and the exit to I-69. The emergency flashers would not activate. We were able to coast to a stop on the shoulder, then after placing the car in park and switching off the ignition, I was able to restart the car. It ran fine for the next two hours, but the same thing happened while traveling south on I-75 north of dayton, oh.
