Please Help!! My Honda Civic Cuts Off While Driving!

I have a 2000 Honda Civic LX, which I bought brand new. My Honda has abruptly shut completely off while driving 3 times now. The first time it happened, I was accelarating to get on the expressway, doing about 40-45 mph. The second time, it shut completely off again, right as I came to a stop at a light. Last night, I waas doing about 65 mph on the expressway, and it shut off. All three times, with no warning, my car will completely shut down, losing all power/lights/everything. It has happened both as I was actually driving, and as I came to a stop. Every time, after it shut down, I immediately put it in park, and restart my car. Every time it has restarted & drove fine. You would never know there was a problem otherwise. I don't know what the problem is. I know this is a dangerous problem, and it has scared me to death each time it happened. I'm scared it's going to make me have an accident. Please help ASAP!! Any info or suggestions help. Thanks.
***Please note - I have contacted all area Honda dealerships & the Honda National Recall phone number. My car does not have an open recall on the ignition switch. It has never had a recall on anything. Any other suggestions?****
