1999 HONDA Accord

Paint is getting bad on the trunk area and Hood area clear coat is coming off badly I\'m not a professional but it\'s the clear coat not necessarily the paint

See failures

Clear coat and paint coming off in multiple locations. Auto Body shop said many Hondas and Acuras have this problem as there is no UV protection in the defective product used at time of manufacture. And
American Honda is not willing to correct.

Paint and clear coat are a disaster!

After a routine oil change on 2/16/15, I was informed that the subframe on the right front side is severely corroded. A hole approx. 2″ in diameter was found in the subframe. The mechanic at the Honda dealership told me that the frame was rotted enough that it was deemed unsafe to drive. A major structural failure was possible and the car should not be driven unless repairs were made. The service person said it was due to salty roads and the age of the car, but research has indicated that many Hondas have experienced this, due to an A/C drain line that drips directly onto the subframe, causing the severe corrosion. I filed a complaint with NHTSA on 2/18/15; my reference number is 10683977.

When I was getting the snow tires checked, the mechanic pointed out that the engine subframe had rusted away, making the car unsafe to drive anymore. The CAS identified this problem in 2012 and recommended a voluntary recall, but Honda refused. It’s the only spot of rust on the car – and it matches exactly where many others have identified damage to their Accords. I’d hate to think that Honda is waiting for someone to die in their Accord before acknowledging an obvious design flaw (which they fixed starting in the 2003 model, apparently). Honda’s customer service line says they have no knowledge of this being an issue, so they won’t extend the warranty or take responsibility for their product in this case.

This complaint and above info is regarding our need to have our subframe replaced. We were told it was rusted and in very bad shape. Note that the cost above to repair was for a used part since a new subframe part would have been even more expensive. I understand there have been other complaints on this issue and Honda and the Safety Administration do not feel a recall is in order at this time. I just wanted to add our name to the list of complaints. Perhaps the number of complaints will eventually get Honda or Safety Administration to take action at some point.

My transmission went out on the highway almost causing a rear end accident to my vehicle. I called Honda and they said they cannot repair transmissions and recommended TSI. I brought it in to TSI and they found that the 2nd and 3rd gears were completely worn. Bearings were also bad in transmission. I am the original purchaser and I have brought it in to the same dealership for the last 14 years and all the recommended maintenance has been followed. I called Honda and opened case # N012013-05-3100646 with Cassie. She said that after 3 years even with proper maintenance Honda will not guarantee that the transmission will not break down. The total cost of repair is around $3600.00. I feel that since I have followed the maintenance down to the letter that the transmission should not have been in need of repair so soon. Honda disagrees and the rep even laughed when I said that I would take this to small claims court. I asked why she laughed and she then quickly said “I didn’t laugh. Thanks for calling Honda” and she hung up. I feel that Honda should be held accountable for this repair. Just looking on the internet I have found many other 1999 Accords with a similar problem at around the 150,000+ mile mark. The transmission shop even said that Honda Accords for 1999 – 2004 are notorious for this exact problem. $3600 is quite a high bill and with the number of complaints there should at least be some recourse for customers.

I took my car in for an oil change, road readiness work (tire pressure, fluids, etc.) and a new oil switch and was told that my passenger side sub frame is completely rusted through and is not safe to drive. WHAT? My car doesn’t even have 80,000 miles on it and lives in the garage. Obviously, I can’t go on my road trip vacation now until it is repaired or replaced. In investigating prices for a new subframe I learned that this organization has called on Honda to do a voluntary recall for this very reason, so I’m reporting another case. Any advice?

After hearing a clunking sound while driving, I had my mechanic look at it. He showed me the subframe was rusted out, disintegrating at the point where the air conditioner ran off and dripped. My car is not driveable. Honda customer relations refused to admit there had ever been any problem of this ever reported and since I had no warranty and the Honda dealer had not looked at it there was nothing they could do.

Hello! I am having problems with a Honda Dealership. I bought my Honda out right in 2004. Back in 2007 my Transmission went. I brought it into Hollywood Honda and was told there was a recall on transmissions for this model and year on up to *100,000. I was at 102,000. Honda said if I payed half they would pay the other and fix it. (which I think they did cause they knew the problems with the Transmission in that year model) They did.. In 2010 the Transmission went again. I brought it back in and they said they would replace it, because it was under warranty and I payed something on the other replacement. Now we are 2 years later and the Transmission has gone again. Now they say they can’t help with it because it is out of Warranty. They say there is no warranty after they replace it at their cost. It’s a Honda, which I always knew last for a long time. That’s why I bought it out right. Now I tried to reason with them and the main office says there will be no help from them at replacing it. I also asked from the past history to see if there already was a transmission replacement done to the car before I purchased it and they said they couldn’t give any information for the prior owner. (which was from a Honda dealership in MA.) Now going back to the dealership here in LA that I had fix my Transmission, (where my car is now) They told me it was not a recall, but an extended warranty for 109,000 miles, which initially they said 100,000 miles. But here is the kicker, after doing more research, (and they told me) I found out that when they replaced it at their cost in 2010. THEY DID NOT USE HONDA PARTS FOR THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. They outsourced. Nobody asked me if it was ok to do this. Which I would of said NO, I want HONDA PARTS, That’s why I am here.. It just really baffles me that such a big company would be like this. My car is still there, and when I went in last week to try one more time to ask them to help in some way, we talked about this outsource that they did, and they realized what the did (not asking if it was ok) and still NO help. I asked the Gentleman, to please call me the next day for a price and I still have not heard from them. I live in the LA area. I Love my Honda. I take care of my Honda. I don’t drive up or down mountains, I don’t drive my car hard. I just around to work. Please let me know your thoughts on this and what I can do to resolve this. Thank You So Much In Advance For Your Help. Mr. Darren Kendrick

During a routine service visit on 10/15/12, the local Honda dealer advised that the vehicle frame was rusted through and that the vehicle was unlikely to pass state inspection. A repair estimate of $2100 parts and labor was provided by the Honda dealer.

Transmission started slipping in March, at a stop would jolt forward, when accelerating uphill in 3rd transmission would downshift to 2nd causing the rpms to reach dangerous levels.

The clear coat is wearing off and leaving the car to look horrible. Hundreds of other Honda owners are having similar issues with their paint jobs. The clear coat on the roof, hood and truck is peeling away leaving white outlined patches. It looks horrible. Honda should fix its defective paint job and take responsibility. We have not been able to get a new paint job yet but estimates price it around $1900!

ignition switch failure after honda dealer “REPAIRED/or REPLACED” it.
Why is it a safety issue in their eyes when the original switch goes bad but there is no concern regarding safety at by honda when their replacement switch goes bad? Seems to me they should recall the recall.

I was driving down the Interstate and all of a sudden my car just shut off. Over the past few months it had done it about 8 times. I took it by a dealer and they expect it to be the ignition relay. They said it has already been replaced in a recall and that I would have to pay to have it done again. I started looking around on the internet and I am finding other people with this same problem. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. Alot of people are saying that they had it replaced during the reacall also. Honda needs to get on the ball.

My entire car paint is chipping and peeling. Honda is refusing to accept responsibility for this. Also, there were 2 recalls, one for the power seat and one for the car moving when in parked position. Honda apparently fixed both problems and both are still have problems. I would like to join any class action suit. It is ridiculous that they are getting away with murder. I’ve paid a lot of money for my car.

Car stopped as I was accelerating to 40 mph onto the interstate and it shut down. I was able to get the car to the shoulder without impacting traffic. Honda replaced transmission 2nd pressure switch then a month and a half later it shut down on me again in traffic. I have been fortuante both times to be near an area I could pull over. Honda is unable to find anything wrong with the car and didn’t charge me for work I don’t need however I’m afraid the car will shut down on me when I won’t be so fortunate. This is very dangerous and it needs to be addressed before there are deaths resulting from this. I love my Honda but this is very disappointing something isn’t done yet.

Car is does not want to go. Will not change gears in stop and go traffic. Car jerks and will barely run. The 1999 Honda Accords through 2004, are know for transmission failure. These cars were recalled. I bought my Accord 7 months ago. If they were recalled, then Honda should be willing to replace the transmission or help with the cost. My car is unsafe to drive. I took it to a transmission place and they said the car was dangerous to drive. I cannot get Honda to do anything about this recall. Please help me.

Transmission began slipping and car was undrivable

My 17 year old daughter just bought a 1999 Honda Accord. After less than 24 hours she noticed the transmission slipping when going into 2nd gear. If you attempt to accelerate, the transmission causes the entire car to shake violently while not accelerating. This problem is known to Honda for many years. There are thousands of instances of this same problem and literally hundreds documented online. How many people will have to be injured or even die when the car fails to respond to a driver entering traffic before Honda will admit they knew the transmissions they were installing were defective and provide a fix?

Transmission hangs when shifting,and slips
Doors used to lock automatically when car is in gear, now they don’t

Purchased 99 Honda accord v6 in 2007. One owner car. Im second owner. All maintenance done on schedule. On 5/29/11 transmission failed. I called Honda they said “We know about the situation and we’re investigating the issue. We’re not going to do anything about your transmission. I have taken good care of my Accord V6. The transmission should not have failed. I was stranded on the interstate with my four small children. Then had to pay $350 for the tow home. I am a loyal Honda owner. This is my fourth Honda. I have never had major mechanical issues with any of my Hondas. Honda admitted there is a known problem AND there’s a class action lawsuit.

FIX MY FREAKING CAR HONDA!!!

While driving down the freeway going about 40mph the accelorator stuck and continued to accel at uncontrolable speeds. The brake would not stop the car and I had to put it in neutral and slam on the gas pedal to release it. I have since taken the car to Mel Rapton Honda and spoke to the service manager who claims that he has never heard of this happening. It has not done it since. I had a mechanic check the accelerator cables as well as the cruise control cables and there were no apparent problems.

Transmissions slips and shifts roughly and inconsistently. Warranty has been extended but only for ’00 & ’01 models. Same faulty transmission standard with 1999 Accords. It is only a matter of time before people start getting hit and do the hitting as shifting becomes unpredictable.

Transmission failure with erratic shifting – often a pause before shifting as well as a surge forward during acceleration. Requires transmission replacement. All mandated servicing had been performed by Honda dealer prior to malfunction.

Transmission began to kick really hard when downshifting. Then it began reving before it would shift. Now it doesn’t shift at all in the morning. It only goes into first. When it does shift to 4th gear, it will not downshift again. I have been told that I needed to replace the transmission and I have also been told that I need a new shift sensor, the codes that it is giving are p0730 and 0401. The car is okay when it is warm but when it gets too hot or I drive it for a while, it begins to slip again. I was told by the dealership service department that he thought there was a recall on these because of how many they have had to repair. I also have to keep replacing the brake pads on the passenger side of the car. The pads wear out a lot faster than the drivers side.

the front seat "seat adjuster" is broken and it was recommended that it be fixed for around $800 usd and the "fuel tank guage" at a cost of $150. Milage around 56000 miles, no repairs done at this time due to the costs

My transmission failed on me while I was trying to merge into traffic. My transmission failed to shift allowing my engine to rev extremely high and go nowhere. I was almost killed when traffic had to swerve around me to keep from running into the back of me. When the car warmed up the transmission began to shift properly. I took the car to the dealer the following day and told them about the problem and they were able to identify as transmission failure. They explained to me that they are not allowed to tear the transmissions apart for repair, they are only allowed to replace them. From the reseach that I have done into the matter Honda is paying for the warranty replacement of these transmissions on the 00-02 models but ignoring the 98-99 models.I have contacted the NHTSA and have found 70+ complaints on this issue some almost resulting in serious collision like me. They told me that they dont see a trend so they dont see the need for an investigation.This has the potential to be a larger case than Ford and Firestone. LIVES ARE AT SERIOUS RISK and they are doing nothing.Several owners are having problems and don,t know where to go to complain.The Carrier bearings in the transmissions are failing and spreading metallic debris throughout the transmissions and causing them to fail. I managed to get one of the Honda Customer Service Reps to slip.I am running out of room so I can’t finsh telling you what else I have found. Would like to talk to you further about this dangerous matter. This needs to be adressed immediately before people unaware are killed.The Ford Focus problems don’t come close to this one. Please get the word out to the public on how to contact the NHTSA as the manufacturers will not offer this information. 73 COMPLAINTS OUT OF POSSIBLY THOUSANDS IS NOTHING TO IGNORE. There are millions of these cars out here both new and used with owners unaware of this danger. Please Help. Consmers need to know where to go for help.

my crank shaft pulley bolt broke off damaging my whole engine. Honda estimates it will be approx. 5900.00 to fix. This is ridiculous since my car is practically new (1999) and I get all my servicing at the dealership!

I had recently suffered an auto failure and had to have my 1999 Honda Accord LX towed to an \"AAMCO transmissions \" shop located at 709 W. Marketview Dr., Champaign IL 61822. The car shop representative called me and told me that it was a battery failure and will have to replace the battery with a new one and also perform a tune up. He gave me an estimate of $399.32 over phone which I authorized. Within 2 hrs he called me and told me that the vehicle was ready to be picked up. When I went to the shop to collect my car he showed me the list of items and labor in the work order. He had charged me $85 approx. for a car battery and did not return my old battery to me. Also to install a car battery (which is usually done free) he charged me a labor rate of $100.80. Besides this he changed some spark plugs, distributor cap, ignition rotor, ignition cable -set (materials $94.50 + Labor 119.07(1.5hrs)) + battery (84.95 + 1.6 hrs labor (100.80) . Total with tax . =415.13. I believe in all honesty that I was cheated by this repair facility. I would like to know if you can help me out. I have tried contacting AAMCO directly through their website and phone no. but to no avail. Kindly let me know if I could speak to anyone at your office so that I may explain the situation slightly better. thank you.

HONDA ACCORD 98-99 TRANSMISSION FAILURE: This past weekend as I pulled out onto a highway the transmission of my 99 Honda Accord V-6 failed to shift into gear for several seconds and then finally engaged with only minimum power, barely allowing me to get off the highway. The check engine caution light came on at the same time the transmission failed to respond. My entire family could have been killed. I now know Honda has had a problem with all 98-2003 Accord transmissions, has known about it, issued a recall for the 2000-2003 models but failed to issue any warnings or take any action for the 98 and 99 year models. I purchased my 99 Accord EX V-6 (ID #1HGCG1658XA028927) new. In 2000 I told the dealer there was a problem with the transmission but it took until 2001 to have the transmission replaced at 32,000 miles before going out of warranty. Two years later I started having problems again and now at 96,000 miles after only 64,000 on the second transmission it has had a catastrophic failure that could have resulted in the deaths of several innocent people. The FTC should make American Honda Motor Co., Inc. issue a warning and fix this defective product. The company did not contact me about this and my local Honda dealer told me there was nothing that could be done. I have had to contact American Honda Motor Co., Inc. on my own and I and have failed to receive any action. This has been a continuing safety problem for six years yet no information has been given to the public.

Defective differential bearing and torque converter caused transmission to fail and it had to be replaced. All scheduled maintenance had been kept up. I called a Honda dealership and they acted as though there was no problem with Honda transmissions and wanted $4000 for repair. Said it was out of warranty.I took it to an independant that worked for Honda Carland for 12 years. He put new parts in the transmission which included replacement of defective torque converter and differential bearings for $1600.Honda representative said it was only warranted for 37K that they did not have any responsibility. Honda has extended warranties to 100,000 miles on 2000 & 2001 Honda Accords. sp

Car would not start over 24 hour period. Towed to dealer #1. Dealer #1 pushed car into bay. Started all other subsequent times from cold & warm locations. Dealer #1 said it’s ok.Dealer #2 did fuel pressure test (was 42 psi) & tested fuel (it was clean). Started all times at dealer #2. Didn’t find anything. Car returned to me. Car cranks then starts. Sometimes car cranks 3 times, then turns over. Waiting for it to happen again.

Both rear wheel bearings noisy; right rear wheel bearing very noisy; left beginning to develop noise.

Bolt backed out from crankshaft holding drive belt pulley resulting in failure of power steering, alternator, and air conditioner. Crankshaft is warped/bent. A new engine is required to repair. Engine did not overheat. Problem is most likely due to materials defect in crankshaft. 7 other similar complaints/events listed on National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration for 1999 Accords.

After 40 days perform 30.000 mile major service at HONDA dealer. Car dies on the street frequently. Bring car back to the dealer. They found ignition switch defection need replace. I told them this car had recall performance for same problem. They said recall service warranty 1 year and 1 time only.

Accelerator hesitated/gears slipped when cold; problem could not initially be identified (car acted normal after warming up). Two weeks after initial evaluation, transmission fluid leakage readily apparent and internal transmission damage reported by mechanic. Transmission needed to be replaced – no warranty.

Transmission behaves erratic..hard shifts, makes huge noise from engine and hardly moves an inch. Problem gets really frustrating when stops at traffic signals and afraid if some one from behind may hit me as they expect me to move on.

On 26 September 2009 my wife drove the car to Wal-mart. The engine shut-off when my wife stopped at a four way stop. She placed the transmission shifting lever to "Park" and tried to restart the engine. It took 6 attempts before the engine finally started. She pulled out of the four way stop and stopped again at a stop light where the engine shut-off again. She placed the transmission shifting lever to "Park" and tried again to restart the engine. It took 3 attempts and the engine started again. Since then , the car was taken to the dealership and the Ignition Switch was replaced. For almost a month, the problem was gone until today 25 October 2009 when the engine shut-off again at the intersection next to my house.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHUTTING ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE SUMMER OF 2008. IT HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY BUT THEN THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED FOR A FEW MONTHS. IT IS NOW APRIL OF 2009, AND WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AT LEAST 4 TIMES PER DRIVING PERIOD. THE CAR IS MECHANICALLY IN WONDERFUL CONDITION SO WE WEREN’T SURE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND WENT ONTO THE INTERNET TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS, AND HE DISCOVERED THAT IN 2004 THERE WAS A NATIONAL RECALL ISSUED ON OUR CAR. THE RECALL WAS ON THE IGNITION. THE CAR WOULD BASICALLY NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION, DUE TO FAULTY WIRES, AND THE CAR WOULD SHUT ITSELF OFF. THAT IS OUR EXACT PROBLEM, SO WE CALLED HONDA TO GET IT REPAIRED. THEY TOLD US THAT OUR CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR THE RECALL AND FIXED SO THEY COULD NOT OFFER US ANY HELP. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC THINKING THAT POSSIBLY SOMETHING ELSE WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE SINCE HONDA TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED. COME TO FIND OUT, JUST LIKE OUR LAST CHECK-UP, THE CAR WAS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. THE ONLY PROBLEM….A FAULTY IGNITION. WE PAID FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET, BUT WE FEEL THAT BECAUSE THIS WAS THE ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM OUR CAR IS HAVING, HONDA SHOULD FINANCIALLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR.

When your driving out of the blue the car will just cut off when it feels like it and you have to try to coast to the side of the road and let the car sit for a minute and try to start it a couple of time before it will actually start 95 % of the time it happens while the car is in motion its happened on the interstate and city streets the other 5% of the time it happens when i come out to start the car it will start then sometimes it will just shut off and it's unsafe when i'm on the interstate in the middle lane and my car just shuts off and im coasting in traffic trying to get to the shoulder without getting hit

1999 accord 4 dr 3.0 with major rust in front right sub-frame under the ac drip hose. major failure to that part is anytime now. the other side in same area is rust free. car is 98% rust free. garaged, 118k currently. googling this issue pops up many complaints of this defect!

Front passenger side, rear chamber of front subframe rust. reports of a/c drain resulting in rust. driver side of subframe, no visible rust.

I recently bought a car for my daughter and was going to do my brakes on it and noticed the passenger side subframe is rotted out doe to where the air conditioner hose sits this is a saftey hazard due to the motor can drop out or my new driver could get into a accident and the drivers side has no rust very concerend why honda has not done a recall on this it is all over utube due to failure of this part honda needs to be looked into for not looking at there veichles properly you see it when you do an oil change someone is going to seriously get hurt or die please have them recll this safety hazard for all honda owners

In mid to late april 2017 i began hearing a crunching/popping noise coming from the front passenger side of my 1999 accord. i took it to a mechanic and was informed that the sub-frame on the passenger side had rusted through and broke. i had never in my life heard of anything like this happening to a car. i understand living in the northern part of the united states there is a heavy amount of salt put on the roads in the winter and cars rust, especially when they are older. but actually breaking! i was told the total repair would cost 2,000 dollars! i cannot afford a new car as i just got out of college. thus, i had to pay for it out of pocket. i find this absolutely unacceptable. i have driven several cars over last 17 years and never have i ever been told the steel sub-frame of your car has rusted through and if you don't fix this you could injure not only yourself but others, not to mention you're car could be destroyed. i discovered after some online research that this is a wide spread problem with 1998-2002 honda's in which the a/c drain hose drips on the sub-frame causing it rust and weaken prematurely. i also realize that honda has yet to acknowledge this design flaw, which is concerning because there are still tens of thousands of these cars out there on the roads right now. i have been a honda driver since 2009 and have stood by them, but this is reprehensible and i truly hope there will be some kind of class action or settlement brought about because this hit me hard financially and soured the reputation on what has otherwise been a wonderful, well maintained car i expect to get a few more years out of.

Car was in motion driving 70 mph and engine cut out, maintenance required light flashed, power steering locked, car jolted. it did this twice within a matter of seconds and restarted both times. i just purchased the car for my 17 year old and it happened two days after we bought it. i tried to replicate it but could not. i ran the vin looking for recalls before purchase but found none for my vehicle. after this happened i saw all of the complaints regarding ignition switch problems. i took the car back to the used car dealer who has a mechanic onsite and i showed him the complaints i had found that were similar to what happened. i had him remove and inspect the ignition switch. he did find upon observation that it looked like there had been some electrical sparks and i believe he said some corrosion too, and that it was defective. i paid him to put in a new one as this issue is a serious safety issue. i am thankful the failure was only a couple of seconds and that the car restarted, otherwise i'm not sure my daughter would have been able to safely steer the car off the highway at such a high rate of speed and because she is not an experienced driver. the car has only 81,500 miles and i believe only had one owner prior to my purchase. i was so excited to get an accord with low miles, but this is a serious issue and hazard.

My vehicle was in the left turn lane waiting for the light to turn green. i went and didnt realize the far right lane was for parking only on a 1 way street left headed east it was a 1 way with 2 lanes moving forward a 1 lane next to the curb where vehicles park in front of there residents. i slammed into the back of the parked white chevy truck. my vehicle came to a sudden stop forcing my body forward towards the windshield. my seatbelt only restrained my body so far so i used my foot to apply the brake. my cars passenger side air bag did deploy but the drivers side did not. my vehicle needed to be towed because it was not drivable. i then later had a friend drive me to the emergency room. i didnt want to go by ambulance due to pandemic in place. about 2 to 3 weeks later i recieved the recall letter in my mailbox. since the accident i have been unable to work or even daily functions. i have a crushed heel and unable to walk. sever pain and swelling. my life has completely changed.

My wife had purchased this car new in the 1999 model year and i realize honda is probably expecting these cars to be past their useful life. unfortunately unaware consumers and young adults will buy these expecting to pile miles on these which honda is known for. the problem is with the subframe on the passenger side which supports the engine and suspension components. i personally watched this particular part of the car rapidly rust and deteriorate even after coating it with some rust inhibitors. the problem as i understand it is the air conditioning was dripping condensation on the frame causing the structure to rot. i realized it was almost rotted through when i was putting on a new passenger side tire on, so not wanting to put money in that kind of repair, i guess my car is done. my point is buyer be ware, honda had to know and i still see these 1999 to 2002 models running around.

My daughter was home from school and complained of s clunking sounds when turning from the right front. i removed the wheel and found the subframe was rusted out on the rear on both sections. i did some research and found this to be a common problem on these 1998 to 2002 honda accords. the left side was fine. this seems to be due the air conditioning condensate dripping on the frame area. luckily this was found in time before an accident or worse could have occurred.

My accord was making a clunking sound when hitting small bumps at all speeds. the sound was coming from the front right of the vehicle and was analyzed as unsafe to drive unless the front sub-frame was replaced. the passenger side front sub-frame was completely rusted out and was loose from the car's body and very dangerous to drive. other areas of the sub-frame have minimal rust and don't have this issue. my mechanic has seen this issue in many other honda accords in this age range and says it's caused by the ac's condenser drain that's located right above that area of the sub-frame. honda moved the drain location in the 2003/2004 model. the cost of the repair is in the $2500 area which is more than the car is worth. honda should have issued a recall for such a major design flaw.

Travelling on interstate when when front-end of vehicle began to vibrate. moments after the vibration, the car veered hard right on its own. unable to regain control of vehicle, as steering wheel seemed as it was "locked" in a hard-right enabling position. this malfunction caused the driver to hit a retaining wall at approx 55mph, causing bodily injury. inspection revealed a faulty/failed steering knuckle, which had completely failed/snapped. car considered a total, after incident.

Car intermittently stalls. it happened when i was driving on a highway and almost got hit by the incoming traffic. we took it to the honda dealer and diagnosed it was the electrical portion of the ignition switch. i remembered they have a recall to replace the switch. it probably got replaced but needs to be replaced again. is it time for another recall? honda did not solved the problem.

While i am driving my car shuts off. the radio and lights stays on but everything on dash is off, milage and speed. i have had everything tested but there is nothing wrong. in jan 2020 i had this recall issue addressed at the dealer or at least i thought i did. it doesn't matter what i am doing when car shuts off. at stop light, turning the corner, on freeway... after car shuts off, i put car in park and try to restart. 90% of the time car wont restart. pumping gas pedal doesn't help. actually sometimes it starts and then just shuts off again or starting the car doesn't seem completed, maybe because my foot was on the gas pedal, car raves up but drops right down/off. i have been tapping the battery terminals with rubber handle of screwdriver and that seems to allow my car to start. sometimes i drive 200 miles and it does not happen. it happens once in 90 days or twice in one week or twice in one day. this has been going on for three or four years. it is just happening more often this past year. also, the recalled airbag is taking too long. there should have been an airbag waiting for me seeing how honda knew it was recalled and i was still driving the car. my teenage son sits in passenger seat and now that i know of the recall i fear for his life while i drive. covid-19 is no excuse. eight months waiting so far.

I am the owner of a 1999 honda accord lx. i recently brought my vehicle to a mechanic for my annual inspection. they told me that the front subframe of the vehicle is rusted through on the passenger-side, rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. this appears to be an issue with the position of the air conditioning drainage hose, which drains directly onto the subframe on the passenger side of the vehicle. further, this seems to be a common issue amongst 1998-2002 honda accord vehicles. this issue, which results from a design flaw, poses a serious threat to the safety of any occupants of honda accords from these years.

Received recall notice for faulty air bag inflator. called ocean honda in soquel, ca dealer to schedule service. i was told they do not have the part, they can not tell me when they will ever get the part and will not check with manufacturer and was told to keep driving the car, no problem, yet history shows that at least 14 people have been killed by this faulty part. what am i to do?

When sitting at a stop light for a minute or more with my foot on the brake and the trans in drive waiting for the light to change , then upon releasing the brake and no pressure on the gas pedal the auto surged forward at a rapid speed.causing loss of control and a rear end collision with the auto in front of me. i researched this anomaly on line and found a list of testimony with the same complaint. honda did a diagnosis of this problem and found no defects. i'm scared to death to drive this car.

Ac drain hole is above the frame over time it caused rust and now it and cracked, and almost has broken completely.

Frame has rusted due to ac drain hole from the evaporator. due to water dripping on the frame, frame has a break causing it to hit the body everytime you hit a bump and the sway bar is connected to the part of the frame that has broke.

Ignition some times doesn't work

1999 honda accord lx sub-frame on the passenger side is being rusted out, between the anti-sway bar mount and the lower control arm to sub-frame bushing. in contrast, the same area on the driver side is in great shape. the difference is that the ac condensation drain line directs water to this sub-frame section on the passenger side. it is mainly a design flaw that only shows up over time. mechanics deem it unsafe to drive and could cause a fatal crash when rusted out. however, the replacement of the sub-frame could cost up to several thousand dollars. honda should do a recall to have it replaced.

My vehicle quits running for lack of electrical current to the engine!!!!! this happens at random, while driving, after checking everything, including main relay, fuel pump pressure, injectors ect..i found out that this happens to hondas 1998 to 2001, honda motors is aware of defect!!!! the ignition switch is the problem!!!!! the ignition switch hardness is the defect that needs to be replace!!!! honda motors needs to recall these vehicles!!!!!!!

The car stalls at any speed or temperature and sometimes refuses to start at all after sitting. the ignition switch recall was performed and replaced previously. now years later the part failed again.

I was driving my vehicle and i over corrected and ended up going down hill hitting this drainage pipe thing with cement walls i flipped 3 times and my air bags did not deploy i suffered a broken neck from this wreck

My car was towed while i wss in jail and i cant find it

Ignition switch recall on1999 honda accord causes the car to stalls while driving due to ignition switch that had a recall in 2004 before i bought the car. this recall is no longer in effect so the dealer wants to start with diagnostic test which i have had done and it does not show up on that. the first hour is $120. recall number was 02v120000. electrical contacts in the ignition switch degrades due to high electrical current passing through switch when vehicle is started. this stall has happened on freeway leaving me to be in a accident at any time.

My 1999 honda accord v6 has a rusted subframe on the passenger side. this appears to be caused by dripping water from the air conditioner. the drivers side subframe is in perfect condition. a simple internet search uncovers several news stories and official inquiries to honda for an identical problem. further no dealer or mechanics until a few days ago reported the problem to me. after seeing the extensive rust missing sections it’s impossible to not see the damage when changing the oil. even i can tell there is a problem. my car is now inoperable because it’s not safe. at the moment it only has 110k miles or approx 6k a year. i don’t see a recall for this yet the issue seems common.

1) honda ignition switch: four times between end november and first wk of december: vehicle suddenly stalled while driving in city streets - so dangerous! i have to turn engine off and restart it. need to wiggle ignition key to start engine. 2) -interior lighting does not work when opening doors. -light on clock does not work -panel light ok

The front subframe is rusted through on one side only. it's the passenger side where the ac drain hose dips on the frame. the car is in otherwise good shape and doesn't present any real issues but the rust is so bad that it is making the car very unsafe.

Forward cradle subframe (rear beam) rusted out. with the number of complaints that i have read. i was wondering if honda has had a recall with the issue?

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle's power turned off without warning. the contact stated that the same failure occurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to honda of olathe (1000 n rogers rd, olathe, ks 66062) where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was also contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 02v120000 (electrical system). the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

Car repeatedly shuts off when driving. i was driving in the highway and my honda lights started flickering and the speedometer hands started flickering. my car then shut off and my wheel locked. i tried to restart and it would not turn back on. it sounded like my car was dragging something but i checked underneath and didn’t see anything. after gassing the car while starting, it finally started back up but you could tell it was barely being powered. it sounded like it was trying hard to power but it was only doing it so much. now i’m sitting still on side the highway and it also runs hot so i filled the antifreeze and now i’m letting t run, hoping that the antifreeze is the cause of these problems. my car sounds awful!!!!! it doesn’t even have 150k miles!!!! for it to be a 1999!!!!!!

My vehicle turned off while i was driving. i was driving about 15 -20 mph on a main st. light lit up on the dash, then all dash lights went out, the power steering stopped working and the brakes stopped as well. i had to slam my foot on the brakes to keep from hitting a vehicle at a light.

While trying to get cv shafts replaced, i was informed that my front subframe rear crossmember, specifically the passenger side, had rusted completely through the top half and was thus unsafe to drive. upon closer inspection, the same area that rusted away is directly below the air conditioner drain pipe. it stands to reason that this drain pipe directs water right onto the sub frame in this section, which would cause it to rust out faster than the rest of the frame. my supporting evidence for this is as follows: 1) there are 316,000+ miles registered on the odometer and the vehicle was not garage kept. what this means is that surfaces exposed to road debris, salt, and water should be equally as rusted. 2) the driver side of the subframe is completely intact. 3) the affected portion of the subframe is actually the superior (top) aspect which is directly below the drain pipe, as opposed to the inferior (bottom) aspect, which is closer to the road. just 2 months before i took my vehicle to this independent shop for cv shaft service, i had a honda dealership, specifically classic honda located in streetsboro, ohio perform a front sway bar bushing service and i received a complementary inspection. for those unfamiliar with the sway bar bushing location, the bushings are held against the front subframe rear crossmember via brackets that bolt in. what this means is that the honda technician who serviced my vehicle looked at the damaged subframe. not only did they fail to detect this issue during the service, they also failed to detect this issue during the inspection for which i specifically requested that they look at the steering and suspension to assess safety. if this subframe would have failed while i was driving, it would have caused catastrophic failure of the steering and suspension, taking away my ability to control the vehicle as well as throwing debris.

I am having issues w/temp gauge going up and down , may have to have a big eng, job done, this is not right, i take very great care of my cars, neaver had issues like this before, ? heater core, , and paint on the roof!!! why the rest of car is fine, looks like skin cancer ,this should be fixed!!! i have heard that they are redoing this! car runs ok,, temp gauge is a big issue 151,000 miles. good for the yr!!!

Began hearing unusual noise from right front tire area when turning. upon investigating, discovered that the right front tire was worn excessively and that the right front sub-frame is rotted out. no other part of the frame is rotted only the right front. apparent cause is a design flaw where the a/c drain tube is located directly over this sub-frame and causes it to prematurely rust and rot out. i cannot get an alignment because the sub-frame is too weak. i cannot drive the car because the sub-frame will likely fail causing loss of control of the vehicle.

At around 185000 miles now, this car which we bought a few years ago with maybe 50,000 to 60,000 less miles started shifting really hard between 1st gear and 2nd gear. now it slams in gear. from all we've read it is a design flaw regarding the filter which collects tiny metal particulates preventing enough pressure for the transmission to properly and smoothly shift. honda is well aware of this situation and will not offer to replace these transmissions. there are literally thousands of complaints i find when reading about this complaint online and everyone says the same thing. and there are so few left of these years that honda ought to have no problem replacing or repairing these transmissions for those of us who are still driving these cars. i want them to repair or replace our transmission because of their design flaw, not our misuse. please see this gets reviewed by a decision make, thank you so much.

My vehicle turned off while i was driving. i was driving about 35 mph on a main st. the vehicle beeped and the green key light lit up on the dash, then all dash lights went out, the power steering stopped working and the brakes stopped as well. i had to slam my foot on the brakes to keep from rear ending an 18 wheeler.

Clear coat is coming off trunk area and on the hood area should not be happening since the vehicle is garaged 65% of the time

The automatic transmission is slipping a problem with honda, and the car was getting a state inspection and found out the sub frame was rusted on the passenger side . will not pass a pennsylvania state inspection this is a problem with 1999 to 2002 accords call honda they will not help ( 168000 miles on car ).

I was driving on the freeway going at highway speeds when all of a sudden, my engine stalls. i immediately put on my hazard lights and was almost hit by a car behind me as my car was coasting. luckily, i was able to steer my car off to the shoulder as was able to start my car again. in doing some investigating online, it appears the main issue is with the ignition switch. there were a few recalls on the ignition switch which i had gone to the dealer to take care of (year 2002 and 2005). it appears the ignition switch that has been replaced is still faulty. i have around 143k miles on my car when the last incident occurred. i had this occurrence happen a few other times within the past few months, but at slower speeds. i want to report this because i believe this recall replacement part didn't fix the problem and can still endanger the lives of other drivers of this type of vehicle.

My 99 honda accord has started loosing power and shutting down while driving, took to independent mechanic who replaced plugs and wires we have replaced wires twice in less then 6 months but this hasn't fixed the problem. after reading the complaints i see quite a few others have same problem. this is a safety issue and car should be recalled!

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of power. the vehicle was able to be restarted after numerous attempts. the contact noted that the hotter the vehicle was, the more frequently the failure occurred. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. prior to the failure, the ignition was replaced per nhtsa campaign number: 02v120000 (electrical system). the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 230,000.

Took my 99 accord to the dealer for an exhaust-they said the engine subframe has a hole and is rusted where the a/c hose drains on it - this is a defect which affects the safe operation of the car and should be replaced by honda.

Same issue as everyone else with a 1999 honda accord vin # starting with 1hgcg, was told by honda my vehicle did not fall under the recall. my car will turn off while driving down the road, i've had it happen at 70 mph and i have had it happen at 15 mph. normally will turn off and restart itself (while driving) and the key signal will flash. the past two times my car has completely turned off on the interstate and i had to fight to get over before getting killed. as well as, my car has turned off while in drive as i was slowing down to park and the key could be removed from the ignition. if these were the recalls and i have a 1999 honda i do not understand why my car is not included. i promise i will call everyone i have to, to make this right. i have a child and i can not be stalling while driving down the interstate.

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the instrument panel illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was restarted. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but the failure was unable to be determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 02v120000 (electrical system). the failure mileage was 175,000.

My three small children and myself were traveling on the interstate in our home town right at city speed limit of 75mph when out of nowhere from the middle lane attempted to get in the right lane to to get off on my exit 4 miles ahead i slowly hit my brakes then the gas and my car would not move i was almost plowed into numerous times and almost caused a few collisions myself since i was not able to move at all l was so scared i was about to die with my kids i was frozen

My car has been randomly shutting off while driving for several months. no one could tell me exactly what was causing it. this problem has occurred numerous times including on the interstate. there is no warning other than lights flashing on the dash and then cuts off. i lose my power steering and can barely get it to the side of the road to restart it. nine times out of ten it will restart on the first try but sometimes i have to work with it to get it to start again. i noticed that there are many honda accords that have this problem and there was actually a recall on 97-2000 honda accords. i called honda and they told me my specific vin number is not covered under the recall. ive noticed that there are several people who aren't covered under the recall with 99 honda accords whose vin number begins in 1hgcg just as mine does and are having the same problem. so obviously it is a safety issue that is a manufacturer default. it does not take a rocket scientist to gather that. what will it take to get honda to recall it?

Possible takata recall, instrumentational panel light on at purchase of vehicle.dealer stated part of a recall and dealership could repair. now road ready.

When i'm driving along, the car will suddenly die. no sputter, no nothing, just dead. this happened a few times and i just took it to honda. searching on the internet says that electrical switch seems to be the problem. however, i called the honda dealer at dch kay honda, 200 nj-36, eatontown, nj 07724. they said no complaints or recall on my vin. this is safety issue as it may stop at any time during the driving.

My 1999 honda accord 4cyl now has a broken subframe assembly. the subframe has so much corrosion that bushing, etc. has disintegrated. however, this has only occurred on the right corner just behind the front passenger tire. this is also the location of the a/c drain hose. apparently the hose drains right onto the subframe and has caused this issue. i have read online that thousands of accords are affected but nothing has been done by the manufacturer to recall this engineering issue. with the subframe broken, i cannot drive my vehicle and i cannot afford to fix it either (since a new one is $700 + labor).

Noise in the right axle in the transmission

I have a 1999 honda accord and i jus paid to get front headlight wire replaced because i could not use low beam lights only high beam. light is working now but there is a suspension and/or electrical problem i need to check. the heat/air doesnot come on? is this car safe to drive?

Oil is pouring out the bottom of my car. oil also filled the radiator overflow. the problem is a porous engine casting. this can cause the car to sieza as it loses oil quite rapidly. it cannot be driven. there are many reported cases of this online, but honda is taking no responsibility. a new engine is required. while this is an older car in years, the mileage is low for a honda of its age and for any honda for that matter and a probelm that requires an entire new engine is unacceptable. i contacted honda and they will do nothing.

I was driving at a very slow speed of 15 mph on 11/21/14. i tapped a curb in a parking lot and the airbags deployed. an officer was called to the scene and was also surprised that the airbags deployed without any front-end damage or with such a slight impact. a mechanic also verified that there was no under-carriage damage and was also puzzled as to why this happened. we contacted honda of america who was not only rude but was not the least bit helpful. we are hoping for some assistance, especially in light of the vast recall of the takata airbags which is what we have. due to the age of our car, we dropped the collision coverage and the airbags were considered to be covered under collision. we are not financially able to purchase another vehicle and this is a very expensive repair. thank you so much for any help you can give us. *tr

1999 honda accord ex v6 didn't pass inspection due to rusted subframe. there should have been a recall for this problem since its a design flaw. water from air conditioner drips onto subframe. since the value of the car is the same as the cost of repair, i have to get rid of the car since i cant see spending that kind of money on a. *tr

Car cuts off at different speeds with no warning. stop car cut off switch and it will start after 1 or 2 attempts. honda had recalled this in 2004 and replaced the ignition switch on car but this one also went bad i. replaced with new ignition switch and have not had this problem so far. *tr

I started driving down a freeway side-road and as i approached a stop sign the brakes slowly went down to the floor. using the regular brakes and the emergency brake i stopped without incident. i pulled over and found that the brake line had a large leak approximately in the middle and underneath the car. as i worked on replacing all of the brake lines one of the fuel lines also collapsed so i replaced all of the fuel and brake lines to be certain of their reliability. *tr

1999 honda accord. consumer writes in regards to the faulty ignition switch recall. *smd the consumer stated the ignition switch module was replaced per the recall. however, the replacement part failed, too. the ignition module was replaced a total of three times. *jb

The issue is not really "suspension", but sub-frame. it is a part called the rear beam and it supports the rear engine mount. part number 50200-s84-a00 has rusted entirely through. as numerous people have reported online, it is true that an a/c drain hose drips right onto this piece of sub-frame and completely rusted it through until it broke on the passenger side. the other areas of this part and the attached front beam are in fine condition and the repair looks to be about $2000. i have some pictures if needed. *tr

On march 3, 2015 my wife's 1999 accord would not start. we had the starter replaced for about $550.00 but the car was still near impossible to start and the engine can cut out at any time once you do have it started. the auto repairman told us the keys made poor contact inside the ignition switch and that was why it was still so hard to start. he taught us a tedious process to start the car but since then when we drive it the engine can suddenly stop running and stopp, also disabling the power steering. the car is no longer safe to drive. it stopped running 4 times on a 10 mile trip today. *tr

While driving on a 4 lane road in columbus to a doctors appointment & getting ready to come to a stop since traffic was backed up, the front passenger side wheel came off, i found this out after getting out of the car safely with so many cars trying to get around me, i saw what was wrong. i thought the axle was broken, but when i had towed to a mechanic, he found out all the wheel studs were stripped on that side & on the all other 3 tires, there were at least 1 or more wheels studs were totally stripped just like the front passenger side. the mechanic told me, 'if i had gone on the freeway doing the 65 mph or any faster me & my passenger would be dead!' after knowing this information, it made me angry that honda should have had a recall on this issue, since i'm not the only person in the united states that has a honda's the same year as mine. my passenger & i had to wait several hours in the cold weather before i got a tow & someone had to come pickup my elderly passenger. we didn't get to our doctors appointment that we really needed to get to.

The transmission seems to be slipping while i am driving the car. basically, at certain points (i think these are at gear shifts) the engine revs up and i get a big jerk in the car. this is very perceptible at the gear shift near a speed of 40-45 mph. *tr

Took my 1999 honda accord to a honda dealership for routine oil change & multi-point inspection on 2/16/15. i was taken into the garage and shown a hole about 2" across in the subframe near the right front wheel well. i was advised that it was due to salty roads and rust. the vehicle was flagged as "unsafe to be driven" by the honda dealership and i was advised to either repair or stop driving the vehicle as soon as possible. i was told the frame could drop down or cause the engine to come into the passenger compartment in the event of a front end crash. cost to repair was estimated at $1600. dealership said i could not sell the car without disclosing the defect. the service manager said the car would only have scrap value at $350-500 as no one would put the necessary repairs into a 16 year old car. previous complaints have been made to nhtsa about this problem, which honda refuses to acknowledge. the service manager seemed surprised when i said this was a "known problem" with the '99 accords. *tr

I have a 1999 honda accord ex four cylinder stick shift sedan. three or four times a year, ever since i got the car the engine has suddenly stopped for no apparent reason while driving. it usually happens when i push the clutch pedal in, as when down-shifting for a turn. i took it back to the dealer, but they could not fix it, and told me they had no idea what was causing it. my regular mechanic was also unable to diagnose the cause when i asked him to, a year or so after i got the car. the car continues to malfunction in this way, and i am simply alert to it. it always starts right back up when i either pop the clutch or use the starter. judging from the recall information on this website, the cause is a defective ignition switch, but i never received a recall notice. *js

Is happening regularly! car is cutting off. play with the ignition switch and car turns on. daughter almost had accident today due to this issue. checked vin and was not on recall list! why?! *tr

Driving 55mph on expressway at 8:30 pm, not well lit. deer ran out in front of me, pulled over. front of car smooshed, and air bags did not deploy. *js

Driving down the road and heard a loud clunk coming from the front end of the car. after this noise, the car did not drive or steer properly. upon inspection, discovered the sub-frame on the passenger side was completely rusted through. this sub-frame provides mounting points for major suspension components. upon further inspection, the drivers side was not rusted at all. even further, it was discovered that the air conditioner drain hose on the passengers side drains directly on to the sub-frame below where the excessive rust caused the sub frame to deteriorate. *tr

I heard a knock in the front suspension and took the accord into an auto shop that was open on sunday. they put it on the lift and found the engine subframe was rusted through on the passenger side. they said the car was unsafe to drive and would require a new subframe. it's the only rust on the car. research online found that in 2012 the center for automotive safety identified this as a persistent problem with accords, as honda designed the ac to vent condensation directly onto the subframe. they asked honda to do a voluntary recall, as both toyota and ford did with similar issues for similar years. honda's customer service said that they have no knowledge of this being a problem, and denied the recall. *tr

My transmission failed because i was told the torque converter should have been replaced by the manufacturer honda immediately after honda realized the 199 honda accord torque converters were faulty. i purchased my car new and was not told about the situation until the transmission failed due to the faulty torque converter. honda did not set up a recall or notify 199 honda accord owners. they paid for the repairs when the transmissions failed for a few years. i have only 62,45a miles on my car and now have a $3007.00 bill to replace my transmission. this would not have occurred if i was told to replace the torque converter by honda as soon as they were aware of the problem. i should be reimbursed by honda. they refuse to do so. *tr

I wanted to complain because this is the 2nd time within 5 years that i'm having to have my egr port cleaned again which is costly. also i the same thing with the ignition switch wires, which were recalled and replaced 5 years later also trying to spark a fire. i am still the original owner of my honda and having the same problem once again about my egr after i paid lots of $$$$$$$$$$.i think somebody need to investigate if the parts only last for 5 years at a time. *tr

The clear coat/paint is peeling/wearing off of my 1999 honda accord. it is causing the vehicle to look horrible. thousands of other honda owners have the same problem, you see the same car with same color (green) on the road. if i have the car repainted, it will cost over $1000. this is unacceptable and honda should be held accountable for this defect and the paint be recalled.

My car has been making clunking noise from the bottom for about 2-3 weeks and has been getting worse. i took it to a mechanic, he showed me the cradle/subframe on the passenger side rusted heavily and almost breaking off. in researching on the internet i see this is a common problem with 1999-2002 accords, due to water leaking from ac condensation. this has been reported as a serious mechanical/frame issue with possibility of becoming catastrophic. my mechanic is looking to order the subframe from an honda dealer but i think this is a serious design problem. these vehicles should be recalled and fixed by honda. *tr

The car's clear coat is peeling and has been since about 2005 when i brought it to their attention and also explained there are many other of the same cars having the same problem i was told it was parking under a tree, or bird poop, or sun damage but i have a friend you does all or the above with their car and there is no problems and i do not have any of those problems (yes a few bird poops but not extreme, as with sun). i explained that i went to a professional paint place and they explained that it was either the way it applied or the batch(lot) was a bad batch and you can typically isolate it to a area or manufacture - no i have not had my car repainted i feel as a certified honda vehicle they should repaint it on there dime. yes i have had the car for 11 years but still i should have been entitled to not having the embarrassment when i took guess out and with my neighbors thinking i don't take care of my car as with fellow employees. shame firms can't stand behind "oh there award winning" product. i also had several issues with the transmission the second year and it took 3 years to get that resolves, then there was a recall with a ignition parts that they fixed after the car rolled into the road twice, and if you want to change the odometer light you have to pay to have the dash removed - sad. *tr

The subframe of my 1999 honda accord ex has rotted through. this is located on the front passenger side near the strut assembly, presumably beneath the air conditioner drain, as noted by others on postings on the world wide web. the vehicle is in excellent condition otherwise, especially with very low miles (77,000 miles) i contacted honda of america and they state that the rot is not covered by them. this will cost me $1800 to repair. there is no other rot on the vehicle and the vehicle only has 77,000 miles. my mechanic says it is unsafe to drive. it appears to be the result of a design flaw relating to the location of the air conditioner drain. honda should be made to repair this unsafe situation. *tr

This car's air bag warning light has been on for awhile. this exact make/model/year have been part of a very large recall but this specific car's vin wasn't listed as part of it. i contacted honda more than three weeks ago and was assigned a recall case manager. the case manager said they would add this vin to the airbag recall. i've left at least three follow-up messages with the case manager since that time. the vin is still not appearing in database. we've been unable to drive car for weeks as a result of safety concerns. there have been widely publicized news reports of people being seriously injured from honda's faulty airbags. the local shop wants to charge us to inspect it, which seems inappropriate on a safety recall where people are being hurt. *tr

My 1999 honda accord had a strange passenger-side body sound while driving at low speed. i went to the local mechanic who said the passenger side sub-frame was thoroughly rusted. i spent $3300 total to replace the sub-frame with a new one from a honda dealer for $982.18 and two days of labor for $1100. the mechanic and i both reviewed the internet for honda accord recalls on this sub-frame for the 1999-2002 model years. i was surprised there has not been a recall as i was lucky to notice this before it became a serious safety hazard. as the mechanic replaced this labor-intensive sub-frame, the rack and pinion assembly also was totally rusted and need replacement - the assembly costing $417.49. also a major leak occurred in the power steering pressure hose that had to be replaced with the part costing $148.89. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. the contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph, the engine stalled without warning. the contact was able to restart the vehicle within a few minutes. the failure recurred whenever traveling at high speeds in warm weather temperatures. in 2003, the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign id number 02v120000 (electrical system). the most recent the failure recurred and the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

While driving the vehicle, the engine will quit completely without any warning or indication of malfunction; it just stops. sometimes it will start up again immediately, sometimes multiple attempts where it catches for a fraction of a second and stops again have been required over a period of several minutes. over time, it seemed to become clear that turning the key to the off position instead of attempting a start from acc would almost always result in immediate restart. the issue disappeared over what was a fairly cold winter, but has returned with the warming weather. total number of occurrences: somewhere around fifty or higher. sometimes it would happen numerous times the same day, increasingly with increased temperature, and seemed much more prone to occur when the air-conditioning was in use. the repair shop was never able to capture an obd code with its recording device. as a commuter on rural roads, this has been inconvenient but so far not unsafe, but there is a potential for it occurring under adverse traffic conditions that might be unsafe, e.g., at highway speed with close following traffic on a road with no shoulder. these incidents may or may not be related to two repairs that almost immediately preceded the first occurrence of this problem: 1. the car wouldn't start one day, no electrical output at all was available, though the battery was only a few months old. a local (i.e., non-dealer) repair shop replace the negative battery cable that grounds the battery to the vehicle. 2. timing belt replacement was performed a couple of months prior, again by a local repair shop. *tr

The ignition shuts off. the gm recall on ignition sounds very similar. the car just shuts off on the freeway going any speed 20-70 miles per hour and sometimes at a stop sign. no warning at all. almost caused accident on freeway with having to get to shoulder as soon as possible. realize sometimes i put pressure on key toward clockwise slightly and engine right back on like nothing happened. but sometimes need to keep the forward pressure on it or it goes off again immediately. new key helped some but not completely. *tr

While having routine service done at a honda dealer, my daughter was told the car needed some serious front end work. she was not given an itemized list of the problem by the dealer. when i had my local mechanic look at the front end he said part of the frame on the right side was badly rusted. while searching on line for parts i was made aware that this problem was quite common for hondas of similar make and year. visual inspection of the lower right sub frame is disintegrated to the point that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. other parts do not appear affected.

The sub-frame is rusted on passengers side corner. manufacturers defect due to placement of drain for a/c all other sides are ok.

Upon inspection, the right rear portion of the front sub frame is rusted and disintegrated to a point where the car is not considered safe to operate. the frame section has lost so much material that it flexes when downward pressure is applied to the hub assembly. the left side of the front frame is intact and fully functional showing no similar signs of rust. *tr

The ignition key can be removed while the car is in drive. this has always been the case when the engine is turned off since i purchase the car 2 1/2 years ago. several times i or another family member have returned to the car to find it in drive, but on level ground, so it did not roll more than a few inches at most. however, the potential to roll further and cause a crash is definitely there if one fails to use the parking brake. honda (national level) claims this recalled issue was repaired 10 years ago and will not do a diagnostic without guarantee of payment by me. their defense is that it could be some other problem and they are no longer responsible for the safety issue once a repair has been made. i am alerting you to this potential "other problem" as a safety concern. either the parts used to replace the recalled parts are also defective and could potentially cause a crash, or a different problem is causing the same safety issue that has the potential of causing a crash. *tr

7/8/2013 approaching a stop sign on a flat residential street, the car suddenly died. it restarted right away. the next morning the car died as soon as i put it in gear. again it restarted. on my way home from work that same day all the lights on the dash came on for a second, but the car did remain on, although there seemed to be a second or two where everything felt like it froze up. ever since then, i have to hold the key turned for about 5 whole seconds to keep the car started. if i let go right away, the car immediately dies. then on friday 8/31, all the lights flashed on the dash, and then the car died completely as i was accelerating on the on ramp to the highway. i was able to pull over quickly and fortunately did not cause an accident. after a few minutes the car did restart and i was able to make it home. i called my honda dealer in july after the first incident, and was told they would only look at it for $100 diagnostic fee. i had my local independent mechanic check everything they could think of a few days later , battery, alternator- and the last resort they had was the ignition switch. honda has already had two recalls on my vehicle for ignition switch issues, 2002 and 2005. the honda dealer was very unwilling to check anything this time around and made it very clear that i would be responsible for paying for the diagnostic check , and that did not seem appropriate given the ignition switch issues in the past. *jb

When i purchased my car the ac was not working so i had it checked and was told that it was not connected and was told that honda's have been having problems with the frames rotting out due to the location of the ac drain. upon having the frame inspected was told that my vehicle would not pass another state inspection. my car is in great shape body wise with no other rust. i was told that this is a big safety issue and upon researching on line have seen that numerous people are having the same problems. just want to know why honda is not being held responsible for these repairs. honda has always been a car of choice for my family but after this i will never purchase another honda. *tr

While turning into a driveway, vehicle made loud banging sound as it went over a minor elevation when entering the driveway from the street. the vehicle makes popping and bumping noises while turning. after inspecting the vehicle, it was discovered that the passenger side subframe was severely rusted. the rust has eaten through the frame that supports the vehicles suspension and steering. there was little to no rust on the driver side subframe. i was informed the rust may due to a defect in the drip line from the air conditioner depositing directly over the subframe. i was informed the vehicle is unsafe to drive and should be repaired immediately. *tr

1999 honda accord sub-frame crack from air conditioning drain. part number 50200-s84-a00 front (rear beam) of the sub-frame has rusted and cracked. the crack is located on the right side of the car directly below where the air conditioning drain tube drips onto the sub frame. all other areas of sub-frame and undercarriage of the car are in great condition. this rusted area is obviously the result of a design flaw with the air conditioning drain constantly wetting the sub-frame. rusted sub-frame found at 210,000 miles but damage obviously occurred much earlier. need honda to recall and replace sub-frame. *tr

I have serious issues with my honda accord. first, the transmission has failed. it began with it slipping in higher gears when hot and finally failed when it wouldn't shift out of low gear. this transmission is the same transmission that is in the 00-04 honda accords that were recalled. honda refused to offer any type of owner assistance. my expense to repair: $1516.30 second issue: in 2002 the ignition switch was recalled. the car died on the freeway and had to be towed two days after i received the recall notice. honda repaired the vehicle no charge for parts and labor but refused to pay for the towing expense. my cost: $75. now the ignition switch has failed again and honda has refused to replace it at no charge or with any type of owner assistance even though this same part was replaced as part of a recall. i have been given an "estimate" of $275 to repair. freeman honda of dallas replaced the switch under the recall. i've contacted john eagle honda of dallas, on lemmon ave, and left messages for[xxx] the service manager but have not received a return phone call. i spoke with a service consultant who point blank told me my car is out of warranty and they will do nothing to help me. i called honda customer assistance and was told they would not participate in any type of owner goodwill or assistance with either repair. i understand parts fail but these two repairs are known product issues for honda! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The 1999 honda accord was at a red light. as i made a left turn, i could smell some type of fume coming from the steering. then saw srs light came on and within about 10 seconds, the driver's airbag deployed for no odd reason. the car as never been in any accident, all parts are original as day 1 when we bought it new. honda dealership in renton said they did not find any electrical system in their test that could cause this malfunction, why it malfunction is still in the air? they are telling me to file a claim with my insurance company. again, honda said no reason why the bag deployed and no electrical malfunction. i want to report this so others will be safe. *tr

This is just to enter a complaint with nhtsa about a subframe issue on this make/model/year car. i understand there have been other complaints on this but not enough at this time to involve a recall. we were not in an accident but brought the car in because of noise. we did have to have our subframe replaced in may because it was rusted out and potentially dangerous. it cost $2410.10 (actually part of this cost was for a ball joint repair as well - perhaps a couple of hundred of the total was for that). the cost was for a used subframe. a new one would have been extremely expensive. perhaps enough complaints will bring some action on the subframe issue. *tr

I took my 1999 honda accord ex (213,500 miles) to a honda dealership service center for a front right wheel bearing replacement. upon the technician removing the tire and working to replace the wheel bearing, it was noted that the front right side of the sub-frame was rotted out and noted the entire sub-frame should be replaced. it was also noted and inspected that the front left (driver) side was not rusting or rotted. the honda dealership service center explained that it could be a safety hazard and damaging to the vehicle if the sub-frame completely rotted apart. *tr

I am the original owner of the vehicle and have followed all the recommended maintenance milestones at the same dealership since i purchased the vehicle. i was driving on highway and the transmission went out. this caused the vehicle to lose speed and i was almost rear ended by another vehicle. i called honda and they said that even with regular maintenance they will not stand behind the transmission after three years. i believe they should at least help in the cost of the repairs which are around $3,600.00 to rebuild the transmission. *tr

Repair shop said passenger side of engine subframe is rusted out, rest of subframe is okay. the is apparently a very common complaint for these cars related to the location of a/c drain hose. this is an obvious design flaw and should be corrected by honda corp. these vehicles should be recalled immediately given the mounting evidence of this flaw before some poor unaware soul is hurt. *tr

The engine shuts-off at random times -- on freeway, city streets, stop signs/lights -- idling, accelerating, maintaining speed. likely the ignition switch for which there was a recall, but the recall did not include this vin -- i assume the "early" failure was addressed, but at what age/mileage is this no longer a safety issue? is there some standard age/mileage until which a vehicle should be designed for safety under normal maintenance and after which one should not assume such? *tr

Got in vehicle and had no brakes. no warning. just no brakes. this was due to rust eating a hole in the brake line. the fuel lines are the same way. in fact, the entire undercarriage is rust. *tr

While driving between 40-45 miles an hour, my car shut down. the radio shut off, the whole car shut down! thank goodness no one was behind me. i sat there in shock and tried to restart it, and it started right back up. this has happened twice before, but i was a red light/stop sign. i didn't think anything about it, because i thought i let up a little to much on the clutch. it just quietly shut down. i can't imagine if i was on the interstate with a tractor trailer behind me. i went straight home and googled and found out that there was recalls on electrical parts of switch. called local honda dealer. he stated that many has come through the door over this, but my vin was not part of it. i will contact honda corporation and try my luck there. it just shut down with no warning. unbelievable!! *tr

When traveling at any speed, but primarily above 50mph the car stalls. i will pull the car off the roadway, wait 30 seconds and attempt to restart. at times it will take up to a couple of minutes for the car to eventually start. around the same time as the onset of this problem the car makes a grinding sound when you turn the key to start it. the same sound you would her if you were to try and turn the key to the start position after it is already started. the amount of pressure you put on turning the key does not seem to make a difference. the stalling problem has me the most concerned for myself and others. *tr

Transmission fail squills whines loud in reverse won't go in reverse sometime squills whines in park when started only way to hush it is to throw in drive then into neutral and pull the park brake. in drive it shifts hard going up in gears then when slowing down it down shifts hard like a manual transmission sometime hard enough to squill the tires . this is a big problem with 98-02 honda accord automatic transmissions and this needs to be fixed its going to get someone killed . honda needs to be forced to recall these car/ cars and fix the problem. *tr

Upon inspection of the vehicle by a certified mechanic, the sub-frame : rear beam - cross beam ( part number 50200-s84-a00 ) was found rusted and unsafe. it is located on the passenger side, near the rear of the front tire. the sub-frame component is rusted through on the top side,with holes, leaving only the lower portion of it holding the engine and suspension in place. it was determined a safety issue and failed inspection. looks like a design flaw that collected water. expensive part and repair. honda is not covering it. the rest of the undercarriage and frame was in good condition. i took the vehicle to a local dealers service department, and they said that this is a definite safety issue, and the sub-frame component needs to be replaced. *tr

These are 2 complaints, first one is the power steering leak on my 1999 accord, after hearing about possible fire from fluid leak on newer models i was concerned that this could be an issue with older models also. the second is not a safety issue but a quality issue inregards to the clear coat coming off the car. it would be nice if honda would step up and address these concerns from loyal honda owners. *tr

During the regularly scheduled maintenance for this vehicle, i was told the sub-frame had eroded to the point where the vehicle was too dangerous to drive. as this was a northern car, i expected a certain amount of rust and there had been some paint corrosion. the mechanics stated they had never seen such an extreme erosion of the sub-frame and suggested i contact honda to determine if this had been reported and recalled, particularly since it had the potential to be such a hazard. honda stated they have not heard of such defects and there have been no recalls. i do not understand how this is possible since the sub-frame should not rust through, particularly since it jeopardizes the integrity of the entire vehicle operation. *tr

I was alerted to a potential problem with the subframe of my vehicle that has caused me to park it. the problem is that the rear subframe has rusted to the point that it is broken in three places. the rear subframe is located in the rear part of the engine compartment and supports the engine and front suspension. i was driving this car for an unknown length of time in this condition. i was informed that this is a safety concern and that the car should not be driven. the portion of the subframe that attaches to the sway bar is completely broken loose from the frame. the location of the rust is under the outlet of the air conditioning condensate drain. this is the only location where the sub frame is rusted. the distilled water coming out of the air conditioner is corrosive to metals. in my opinion this is a design defect that could have been repaired using a very modest cost hose, fitting and perhaps a clamp to re-route the condensate drain away from the structural members of the car. repair of this problem has been quoted at $1600. the car is unsafe to drive. the center for auto safety has requested a recall of these vehicles. many of these cars are still on the road and tend to be driven up to 200,000 miles. this flaw is not readily detectable and is definitely a safety concern. at a minimum owners should be made aware of the potential problem. *tr

My car's transmission shifts badly. when shifting between 1st and second gear it jumps badly and sometimes wont shift at all. and even from second to third it does it too. after i'm in the higher gears it shifts better. but in those early gears my car is dangerous. i'm afraid it might completely stop working one day. i've read online all the complaints people have about my same year of accord and the years surrounding it: almost all of them have a faulty transmission. i think that honda needs to fess up about their faulty trasmission and do a real recall. i'm one of many concerned honda owners and wish that they would own up to the problem. many people wont be going back to honda brand cars because of this problem, including me. *tr

My wife was in drive-thru at mcdonald's when the engine died suddenly. she was able to started back up right away by turning the ignition off and on to crank the engine. later around 1pm on the same day, while driving on hwy 101 at 65 mph, the engine died suddenly, the 'key in ignition warning' came on that warns the driver not to forget to take the key out before leaving the vehicle. the car coasted with engine dead just a short distance and the engine started up again. the car ran fine after that until my wife got home. i googled '1999 honda accord engine shut off while driving' and found a dozen other drivers had posted about the similar problem with their honda accord. i found that the ignition switch is the cause of engine shut-off and there's honda recall on them. the car had a problem with the ignition switch in november 2006 at 135,500 miles. while driving on the freeway, smoke came out of the steering column and the car started jerking. the ignition switch was replaced at a dealer after having the car towed there. *tr

Over the last week i have been experiencing the car suddenly turning off....no rpm's, no speed...while i am still in drive (automatic transmission). in viewing various websites, this is now becoming a common occurrence...and it extremely dangerous. although headlights still work, power steering is no longer available...so i must hurriedly shift into n to glide to the side of the road. the car does not restart right away. this has occurred at intersections, on the highway (at 70 mph) and while going 20 mph. there was a recall issued on the ignition for this type of problem in/around 2002-2003. i received this late...but did go to the dealer and have it replaced in 2009 (honda recall #02v120000). after experiencing this problem recently, i have gone online to see countless numbers of other honda accord owners who have been experiencing exactly the same problems....even after having the recall filled. evidently, the replacement part has been failing...or it was not the fix to begin with. this has was a very popular model..and there are sure to be hundreds of thousands of these on the road...about to run into something when the power fails. i am going to the dealership to get this resolved...but it is incumbent upon your organization to have this issue reviewed..and a solution available...asap. please look into this....i have never experienced such a frightening problem while driving. thank you. *js

While driving down the high way, my car just turned off and had to pull over the right side of the road. luckily it was not busy, but it has been happening a lot lately. that means i don't have a car. i looked online and they have a faulty ignition switch. at first i changed the main relay to a brand new one from honda. but it still did the same thing, till it didn't start again. *tr

Update to odi 10444643 filed 1/20/12. i was attempting to turn left at a highway intersection and the honda totally stalled and the green key light came on the dash. the vehicle did not lose total power but it stalled while a fast vehicle approached from the right. i was afraid i would not get through the intersection without a wreck. it was a terrifying experience. after that first experience the vehicle totally lost power while at a stop sign in a mall. it took 2 attempts to restart car. i could not imagine what the problem could possibly be so i researched the possible problem and found that this honda had ignition switch problems. i purchased the vehicle in 2007 and it had approximately 121,200 miles. the vehicle was recalled in 2002 due to a defect in the ignition switch. am "ignition switch update" was completed on 10/1/02 at 59,183 miles. by an authorized honda dealer. i have had no issues until jan 2012. looks like i will have to replace this switch again but it is too dangerous to not address the problem. can't imagine this problem at 70 mph. update; took the vehicle to honda dealer on 1/23/12 and told the tech what i thought the problem was. the test showed it was indeed the ignition switch once again . the cost for replacing was $206. 36. . so, honda's recall in 2002 did not correct this defect. *tr

Honda needs to recall their recall of the ignition switch. at their suggestion i had the ignition switch replaced several years ago when it was not a problem. just recently i had a problem with their replacement and had to have it replaced again. why was the original switch a safety concern in their eyes but their defective replacement switch is not a safety concern. i feel they should be held accountable for the failure of their replacement switch. *tr

Car would just shut off without warning while driving creating dangerous situations. would usually restart afterwards and run fine. there was a recall for this problem in 2002 which i had performed. apparently remains a problem as the vehicle ages as i just had the recall performed for a second time 9 years later. *tr

At times, engine suddenly dies out when coming to a stop (traffic light; stop sign). the car has automatic transmission. i can easily put the car in "park" again and restart with no problem. the car has 80k miles and is well maintained. after a few of these scary experiences, took the car to a local honda dealership in atlanta ga. cost of $160 (description - routine maintenance - bg fuel service all - cleaned throttle body). assumed this would have corrected the issue. i was wrong. in two more occasions - had the same problem again. the last time it happened, the car suddenly stopped while slowing down to stop at a "stop sign". the car started again (takes a while in an automatic transmission though). i was lucky a car behind me had enough space to stop. this time, i researched the web and noticed many owners have similar problems with honda accord 1999. i was one of the lucky ones though (the car had not yet stopped while driving in a busy traffic). at 20,374 mile, the same honda dealership performed the "2002 safety recall - accord ignition switch" - "electrical ignition switch fp number : 3510-s84-305 (switch e 79530)", this was done on 12/03/02. took the car back to the honda dealership on 10/28/11. i asked the service technician to look into the 2002 ignition switch recall ; customer complaints & what else was performed to correct it. i don't believe this service adviser was aware of this major safety issue with honda accords (1999). this time the dealership surprised me with replacing ignition switch again. this was a $405 repair. the fp number is 35130-s84-a01 (switch s 79530). i assume there are two parts in the ignition switch. i am not certain why the 2002 safety recall did not advice the dealerships to replace both parts (e & s switches). the dealership advised me the "s" switch is behind the ignition switch. *tr

This is a v6 automatic. i have kept up with the maintenance of the vehicle exactly as honda has instructed. i have even gone as far to only get it serviced at the dealership. the vehicle has always shifted weird from park into drive. at 75000 miles it began hard shifting into 1st and around 85000 miles it began to not want to shift from 1st into 2nd and especially 2nd back to 1st. now putting the car in reverse is causing problems. this issue with 1999 v-6 automatics is documented everywhere. the dealer said they are aware the issue is wide spread and can't do anything about it. honda has been aware of this problem as a wide spread defect and the nhtsa should put some pressure on honda to step-up. a well maintained engine should last more than 90k miles on this honda. not ok and honda knew and knows they built a car with a major defect. *tt

My 17 year old daughter just bought a 1999 honda accord. after less than 24 hours she noticed the transmission slipping when going into 2nd gear. if you attempt to accelerate, the transmission causes the entire car to shake violently while not accelerating. this problem is known to honda for many years. there are thousands of instances of this same problem and literally hundreds documented online. how many people will have to be injured or even die when the car fails to respond to a driver entering traffic before honda will admit they knew the transmissions they were installing were defective and provide a fix? *tr

I have had incidents with my honda accord for months. many times, particularly when the weather was extremely hot, it would take as long as 15 minutes to get it started. but worse, it would just simply die when i was driving it. sometimes this was in my neighborhood which wasn't scary, but a couple of times it was in major traffic and once on a busy highway. i took it to my honda dealer (where it has been regularly serviced since the day i bought it!) and explained the issue. they charged me $100 to tell me they couldn't find anything wrong with it. my sister found this website and thought it could have been the ignition switch. it continued to have issues, so i took it to an independent mechanic and told him to check the ignition switch. he charged me $40 to tell me there was nothing wrong. i took it to another independent mechanic who said the ignition switch looked fine, but maybe it was the fuel switch. he replaced that and i still had issues. i took it back to the last guy and told him to replace the ignition switch anyway. the car feels great! it hasn't run this well in a year. my point is that if you have these symptoms, and they tell you it looks fine, insist on the switch replacement. this guy charged me $180 (and that included an oil change) and it would have saved me time, money and some very scary situations had honda done that to begin with! *tr

I bought this car new in 1999 while working as a salesman for a honda dealership.its always been well maintained as it is the only transportation i have.i no longer work at the dealership but my little boy needs a way to get to various activities as well as school.we depend on this machine and hondas reputation to get things done.around 76000 miles the transmission started to shift hard and not want to go into gear. after checking around various shops and the internet i was surprised to find out that so many other owners of 1999-2002 accords had the same problems or worst.some with only 50000 miles had to be replaced.i'm pretty sure this is an american honda deal as the japanese people would back up their products.once again we get screwed by our fellow greedy americans.i will not be buying another honda product be it a lawnmower,car,motorcycle,generator or paper bag for that matter.i will also warn everyone i know by internet and carrier pidgeon about american honda and their lack of ethics.what goes around comes around! *tt

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. while stopped and attempting to accelerate , the vehicle became hesitant and there was a delay in acceleration. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. the technicians stated there was a transmission failure and the transmission would need to be rebuilt. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 154,000.

On the way back to home, suddenly there was burst sound, when i checked, the radiator tube had burst. i took it to the nearest mechanic, then he said, there was problem with radiator and he fixed the radiator. it worked well for a week and then started leaking of coolant. i took it again to the mechanic, then he said it may be a problem with head gasket or may be we have to replace the whole head. if it is the head gasket it will be 1200 to 1500. if it is the head then you end up spending up to 3000 to 3500. i can't imagine a case if this incident happens when i was on freeway at 70 mph. i have bought the car exactly one year back and i am the second owner of the car. when i checked on the web, there were a quite a few similar cases. god knows only why few cars from honda get this problem. my friend who is holding a similar car has 40k more miles on it and uses it without spending any money on maintenance.

The nhtsa should be aware that honda has failed to notify many accord owners of a potentially dangerous problem, namely, an ignition switch that may cause their cars to quit at any time and at any speed. nhtsa recall 02v120000 of may 16, 2002 included the 1997-1999 accords; however, honda claims many of these accords, including ours, were excluded due to their vins and will not replace the switches without charge. our 1999 accord ex recently experienced this problem and examination of the old switch (photos included in a letter to the nhtsa) showed that deterioration of the switch contacts caused the switch to reach a temperature sufficient to melt the solder on the v+ white wire/switch bond. replacement of the switch remedied the problem. when the switch fails the car quits immediately and the driver is left with no option other than to pull to the side of the road -- which at high speed and in congested traffic may lead to a serious/deadly collision. updated 08/17/11. *jb

I was driving my 1999 honda accord on the highway and all of a sudden all the electrical system cut off and i was forced to pull over and restart the car. this has happened several times before and i took it to my mechanic who said there is a problem with honda's with the electrical switch and it was recalled..this is very scary and could cause a major accident. is there anything one can do to rectify this problem because i was told to pay for it myself..thank you *tr

Our 1999 honda accord ex automatic is part of the recall program on faulty electric ignition switch. so sometime in oct. 2002 the electric ignition switch was replaced at robertson honda in north hollywood, california. no such stalling problem has occurred until december, 2010. but on the morning of january 2011 the car stalled in the freeway with four passengers in it. everyone is so fearful because the freeway is busy with cars driving at 65 miles an hour. the car has approximately 172,000 miles at that time. this incident happens again four times within the span of 6 months after january 2011 on the freeway and on surface street . i brought the car to robinson honda at north hollywood on january 30, 2011 for service telling the service manager that the problem is exactly the same before the recall and that it may still be covered by the nhtsa recall program but he said if it was fixed before then you are not eligible for the second free service. at 2:30pm , i called [xxx] for status of my car but he said they are not doing anything because they couldn't duplicate the problem. i am suspicious they did not do anything because i mentioned to him it may be covered by the recall. i told him to replace the elec. ignition switch and i will pay for it. they did in a flash for $180. i place a complaint at honda corporate office at torrance, california in august 2, 2011. i was assigned a case manager to mediate the issue but still yet to receive the outcome of my complaint. the car has registered with 180,326 miles at the time of the service. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr *kb

Purchased 99 honda accord v6 in 2007. one owner car. im second owner. all maintenance done on schedule. on 5/29/11 transmission failed. i called honda they said "we know about the situation and we're investigating the issue. we're not going to do anything about your transmission. i have taken good care of my accord v6. the transmission should not have failed. i was stranded on the interstate with my four small children. then had to pay $350 for the tow home. i am a loyal honda owner. this is my fourth honda. i have never had major mechanical issues with any of my hondas. honda admitted there is a known problem. *tr

Driver's seat of my '99 honda accord has become loose, rocks and pulls away from steering wheel upon acceleration, causing lack of control since momentum pulls driver away from wheel. when seat is not occupied, this is evident by pushing on headrest, causing seat to 'rock' backwards approx 6". mechanic said that a piece of steel on the bracket under the seat is broken (& seat bracket is the same for all 1998-2002 models). dealer said this isn't a recall or anything so repairs would be at my expense. car cannot pass state inspection until this is fixed, so looks like i now have no choice but to try & locate a replacement bracket at a junkyard & pay someone to install, costing me at least $300 (with no guarantee that the replacement bracket will not have the same problem). big safety issue here with lots of complaints reporting the same problem (per online search)- why has this not been properly addressed? *tr

Dear sir / madam - honda in usa has intentionally dropped a large number of vehicles from its list of recalls/ fix needed to save the costs and maximize their profits. this case is one of them. my honda - [xxx] is facing all issues similar to ones recalled from 1999-02 models. first the ignition switch issues last year and now the transmission issues. i called honda and they said its not part of re-call while everyone knows these were part of re-calls so why was this vehicle dropped from the recall database ? how many more vehicles were dropped from the list and why ? i think the issue is not related to age but something else and needs investigation. now it makes me wonder how many vehicles they include and what they drop from re-calls as cost saving measure ?

After driving about 20 miles in mixed city/highway traffic and without warning while traveling approximately 35 mph in heavy city traffic the engine cut off, tachometer dropped to zero and immobilizer system indicator flashed. engine started immediately when key was turned to "start" position. same thing occurred about a mile later and a third time 23 days later when accelerating on a rural four lane highway after operating for approximately five minutes. quick action to restart the engine averted a potential rear end collision. replacement of the electrical portion of the ignition switch scheduled for replacement mar. 10, 2011. will save faulty part. *tr

Starting in april of 2010, my car started stalling at "random" times; there was no rhyme or reason to it and no noticeable associated symptoms. the car would simply stall or completely cut out on me in an instant, whether i was idling, stopping at a stop sign or light, or driving down the road, most commonly when i was driving in the city in traffic, but three times when i was driving 70mph on the interstate. most often after it stalled and i put the car in park, it would start again immediately. however, it was also common for the car to stall and for it to take 5-6 tries for it to restart. this stalling occurred nearly daily, most often once but sometimes 3-4 times each day. i took the car into an auto repair shop twice, in may and june 2010, to have this stalling looked into, but they were unable both times to find anything wrong with it. i finally took it in a 3rd time on october 11, 2010 and they told me that i have a faulty ignition switch. *tr

I own a 4 cylinder 4 door 1999 honda accord lx. the srs light came on without reason in june of 2009. i have taken the vehicle to the dealer 5 times. each time they run a diagnostic test. the light will then turn off without illuminating the cause. shortly after picking the car up from the dealer, the light will turn back on. the airbags will not deploy as long as the light is on. i bought a honda because of the safety features. it makes no sense that they have a warranty on the seatbelts but not the airbags. the airbags have never been used. the dealer says that the only way to fix it is replace the airbags. this will cost close to $1000. i can't afford that. even if i choose to start replacing the unit, it won't guarantee that the problem will be solved. they don't know the reason that the srs light keeps coming on. it should be honda's responsibility to fix this problem since it obviously wasn't caused by me, the consumer. this is not an isolated incident. there are hundreds of internet sites with consumers just like me complaining of the same problem. a link to one is http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2001/seat_belts_air_bags/srs_light_is_on.shtml please make honda do the right thing and keep their patrons safe. *tr

Check engine light came on. brought to the dealer and they said the code indicated a torque converter circuit malfunction. dealer supposedly checked and road tested and said they couldn't find anything wrong. they reset the warning light and said the transmission maybe going bad. i was charged their typical outrageous labor cost. i should have brought it to an auto parts store who could have told me the same thing for free. but i thought they would know more about what is wrong with their cars than an auto parts code reader, i was totally wrong. the warning light came back on during my drive back home from the dealer. all the required maintenance has been performed by the dealer since the time i bought it new. the car had around 98,000 miles when the warning light first appeared. i brought it to a transmission repair shop next and they replaced the linear solenoid and checked the others which were all fine, but the warning light came back on. the trans. shop said this is a predominant problem with 99 and 2000 accords, but the mfr only recalled the 2000 models. i know this is true because i also own a 2000 accord which was recalled by the factory for transmission problems. the mechanic said that honda should have recalled this model year also since the 99 and 2000 models were essentially identical. now the only recourse is to overhaul or replace the transmission which will cost lots more money. the manufacturer should recall the 99 accords as well or at least shoulder half of all the expenses because of this defect. i have own several vehicles other than hondas and i have never encountered any transmission problem and all have gone over 150,000 miles. good bye honda! all my family and friends will surely know about this. *tr

Ignition switch failure, second occurrence. car stalls during normal operation. the original recall replaced the ignition switch and repaired the interlock. the switch failed again. obviously this was not a fix only a delay of the next failure since the same component failed. i used detailed repair instructions from the internet to make the second repair myself. i requested "goodwill" from american honda which was denied so i am out of pocket for parts and my time to repair. i believe that honda should be accountable since the replacement part also fails at the same rate as the original component. when this finally causes an accident or death i'm sure they will settle out of court to prevent further loss on this component when all they really had to do was engineer a non-defective replacement. in other words fix it once but fix it right. honda did not do this and will not warrant the second defective component. they better hope i am not injured when this fails for the third because i have my documentation. *tr

My son's 1999 honda accord experienced intermittent ignition failure, forcing him to pull over to the side of the freeway, and then attempt to re-start the car. this occurred randomly over a period of about a month, and was very unsafe. the car has about 117,000 miles on it, and was subject to an earlier recall campaign 02-031, which resulted in changing the ignition switch several years ago at about 52,000 miles. now the replacement switch failed. he took it to honda of el cerrito in the bay area and they charged him about $100 and told him they couldn't figure out the problem. i purchased an ignition switch from a discount honda parts supplier over the internet for about $50, and replaced it myself. i found several internet web sites that described this problem in detail, and i feel that there are many others experiencing the same thing. i have a 99 accord and a 92 civic which both experienced ignition switch failures, so i had a pretty good idea of what was going wrong, even if the dealer was not being very smart about it. this is very annoying and dangerous. i wish the dealers were more helpful. i spoke with american honda in torrance, and they told me that since the vehicle was repaired as part of the recall campaign, that if the part failed again, it was my responsibility. why can't they make an ignition switch that holds up longer than 50,000-60,000 miles? the last time it failed was while i was driving through placerville, california on highway 50 on october 24, 2009. the first time it failed was around the beginning of the month. *tr

I am the owner of a 99 honda accord coupe and have been having trouble with my car failing to start in certain types of weather and the longer i've had the car the more the problem has progressed and it is now stalling while i'm driving down the road, including yesterday when i had my 4 month old daughter in the car. if someone had been following too closely who knows the damage that could have been done. multiple mechanics have looked at it and cannot find anything wrong. i have been on honda's website and found that there are recalls and mine have been fixed long before i bought the car the only problem is i am still having the problems i've contacted honda and they seem to be very unwilling to help me further and so i am stuck at this point with a vehicle i'm afraid to drive because i'd be putting myself, my daughter and others on the road in danger. i've recently found the website car complaints.com and under electrical complaints i was baffled at how many people are having the same problems even after their recall had been taken care of also, and that was only one website. i do not have the money to take jabs in the dark replacing parts that don't need replaced especially after i've had to pay to have it towed twice now (not cheap). i should not have to wonder whether or not a car that is in great condition and under 100,000 miles is going to start or not. i hope this complaint will move someone to do something because i have not been able to receive help from anyone else. i feel that this case should be reopened and something should be done to make honda responsible before someone is seriously injured. *tr

Ignition switch failure vehicle shuts off while driving, a recall of the ignition switch was completed in 2002 for similar problem. nhtsa #02v120000 the vehicle is now exhibiting the same problems addressed in the original recall, i contacted honda usa on 08/11/2009 to see if they would repair an obvious defect in the ignition switch. i was told they would only repair a recalled item once. since the replacement switch is also defective and creates a dangerous driving condition, i would hope nhtsa would look into this issue before someone is injured or killed due to honda's lack of concern for their parts and repairs. *tr

My car began quitting while driving may 2009, however, it would immediately start again. 06/2009-7/2009 when trying to turn the ignition, the dashboard would flicker. after a few tries, the car would start but then quit. on 8/4/2009, while driving the car quit again but then smoke came from behind the steering wheel ( steering column area). simultaneously, the car quit. the car would not start at all by turning the ignition forward. however when turning it backwards it would try to crank. the car was towed to and now currently sits at bluegrass honda in paducah, ky. according to honda, it is the ignition switch, which i found was under recall but the dealership claims that the ignition was replaced in 2002. i don't believe this is true because here i have the very problem that the recall acknowledged. i don't believe i should responsible for payment on a recall,however, the dealership is charging me $200.00. *tr

The "check engine warning light came on" and the trouble code is p0740, transmission torque converter circuit malfunction. the car surges forward from a stopped position even at the slightest depression of the gas pedal which makes it prone to an accident by hitting the vehicle in front. i brought it to the dealer and they reset the warning light, test drove it and told me that they can't find anything wrong but told me that the transmission may be getting bad. on the way home, the warning light came on again. i brought it to a trans repair shop and they checked the trouble code to be the same p0740 code. they checked the resistance of all the solenoids and replaced the linear solenoid which was out of spec. the warning light came on again on the drive home. i had it scanned again and the code was p0740 again. the trans shop said that they may eventually need to completely rebuild the transmission and may cost around $3500-4000. i have already spent $400 so far. i now drive the car sparingly until i can have the funds to get a rebuilt trans. i wish the nhtsa would require honda to recall this model year like they did for the 2000 model since there seemed to be an unusually alarming high rate of complaints on 1999 accord transmissions. *tr

About 5 weeks ago, the engine of my 1999 honda accord ex (4-cylinder automatic) began dying while i am driving. three times i have been pulling into heavy traffic when the engine died, and i am lucky not to have been injured or killed in an accident. there are no visible, audible or tactical signs that the engine is about to shut down, and no indicator lights. the local honda dealer charged me $100 to evaluate the situation to no avail. use of fuel cleaner was their recommendation, but that did nothing to solve the problem. frustrated, i consulted the internet and found 43 separate similar complaints on carcomplaints.com. complainants all say that they have spent hundreds of dollars on going from dealer to dealer for diagnosis and a variety of repairs, none of which seem to resolve the problem. i doubt seriously that american honda is as ignorant of this problem as they claim to be, but they offer no help. please log onto carcomplaints.com to see how widespread and dangerous this problem appears to be. i'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. while driving various speeds, the vehicle would stall. the catalytic converter, timing belt, exhaust, and other components were replaced in hopes that the failure could be corrected. the repairs were made at more than $3,000 by an authorized honda dealer. an independent mechanic found that the ignition key switch was causing the stalling. if the key is in the ignition and slightly touched, the ignition would stall. the failure still persists. the current and failure mileages were less than 160,000.

I had the ignition switch replaced in 2002 under the recall warranty. now 7years later(2009)120,000miles, i am having the symptoms of a bad ignition switch. while driving the engine just quits. it will start after several attempts. it will run fine for about 3-4 weeks and quit again. i talked with a honda repair man and he said the warranty replacement switches in 2002 are starting to fail now. *tr

While changing my brakes, i noticed significant ruse on the vehicle sub-frame. it is located on the passenger side, near the rear of the front tire. the sub-frame component is rusted through on the top side, leaving only the lower portion of it holding the engine and suspension in place. i took the vehicle to my local dealers service department, and they said that this is a definite safety issue, and the sub-frame component needs to be replaced. the part is called the "rear beam" (part number 50200-s84-a00). total cost of repair estimate was originally $1400, but dealer quoted $1100 due to the uncommon of the repair and its severity if the part were to fail while driving. the dealer has recently seen another vehicle of the same age with the same problem. i spoke with another local dealers service department, and they also said that this typically should not have to be done on the vehicle. it was recommended to me to contact the american honda service center to see if they would at all assist in this service issue. my request was escalated to walter, the executive team manager, and he informed me that they would not provide any assistance whatsoever. i plan on getting this component replaced because i do not want my engine and suspension to become detached from my vehicle while driving, but feel that honda should be at least partially responsible for this service as the car is 9 years, 6 months old since manufactured. the vehicle sub-frame should not rust through. *tr

Since 2006 the car has been stalling (rpm's drop to zero and car turns off) started by stalling while on the freeway but would start right back up within seconds would happen once every 3 months. recently, the problem has accured everyday some time 3 times a day. i could be at a complete stop or on the freeway and the cars' rpm's just drop and all the lights battery light, oil light, check engine light, door and truck light turns on but the radio and a/c stay on. i have almost been rear ended on several occasions and have almost been run over by other motorist trying to push the car out of traffic. i contacted honda headquarters and they told me that there were no recalls on my car and told me it sounded like the ignition switch. so i immediately changed the ignition switch and the next day the car stalled again. i called honda they told me that the tumbler for the key had been recalled and was replaced back in 2003. i bought a new key as the old key was worn and the car did not stall for over 2 months but yesteday car stalled over 3 times. i have had a diagnositic done which said it is the catalytic converter which my mechanic says is totally unrealated to the stalling problem. but i plan to have a new one installed soon. i really need to get this stalling problem fixed immediately as this is problem could cause me or my son to get into an accident and be injuried or even killed. and based on the internet forums i am not the only one having this problem with my honda and honda headquarters doesn't seem like they plan on doing any thing to fix the problem. *tr

For the last 4 to 5 years my 1999 honda accord has stalled for no apparent reason or would not start up right away. i had taken my honda to several places for checkups, i have replaced the battery and a sensor several times before a diagnostic check indicated that i likely had an ignition switch problem, that repair company referred me to my honda dealership where i purchase the vehicle new and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. yesterday my wife had the car on the city of memphis busiest street when it stalled with her in the center lane without any warning by the indicator lights. she called me frantic telling me that almost every car passing her nearly hit her. i called the police to help get traffic control to help her. she as a few others have indicated could not get the car to shift gears to neutral while stalled. finally after sitting 10 minutes she was able to start the car. if this would have happened and my wife was rear ended with my 19 month old daughter in the car, i would have likely gone nuts on honda. instead this morning i took the car into the dealer who kept the car running for a while when they were able to get the car to stall (or so they say). the dealer switched out the ignition switch at a cost of $300 on top of the $75 diagnostic at the dealer one month ago and a $49 diagnostic at a small service station not to mention the sensors that were switched out that did not solve the problem. i have already filed a complaint with honda indicating that this problem is a life safety issue which they should replace free of charge. if this happens again i will likely see a lawyer i just pray that my family is not injured or worse. this morning the dealer indicated that the problem could also be the main relay but since they were able to supposedly able to duplicate the problem they replaced only the ignition switch. please let me know if anyone else is involved in litigation to get this problem resolved and receive reimbursement. *tr

Bought this 99 honda accord dx 4 door 5 speed back in 2006 from a honda dealership. in the end of 2007 the car shut off on the high way while i was driving!!! thank god i didn't get into an accident! it then happened again a month later! it then happened quite frequently till i could no longer let the key go without it shutting off! when the car shuts off everything stops, including power steering!!! very dangerous!!! we looked over the car and looked online and found my car had a recall on it. we called honda's 1800 number and they told us the car had already been recalled and fixed in 2002 so they didn't have to do anything for us!!! so why then a couple of years later would the same problem be happening!? i am scared that if i go and have it fixed it will just shut off on me again in four years, or less!? did they just replace the faulty part with another faulty part?! i have read some of the forums on line and they seem to indicate that it could be the wiring to the ignition switch and not the whole part. we have rigged the car by hanging objects off of the keys to get it to stay on... i know it's only a matter of time before it stops altogether! honda refuses to take responsibility for they're products. they should not be aloud to continue this! how can we allow them to put unsafe vehicles on the road putting peoples life's in danger!? *tr

The vehicle had been experiencing intermittent, sudden and complete engine stalling over the past several months. my local independent shop could not find a problem. the car finally stalled completely and the steering column started smoking. dealer replaced ignition switch and said it was under recall. i never received notice from honda of a recall. during two recent visits to the dealer the paperwork indicated that there were no open recalls on the car. i have lived at the same address since purchasing the car new in 1999. i received and responded to an earlier recall. however i believe that honda and their dealers are now neglecting to inform owners of required recalls. i was unnecessarily put in dangerous situations and spent a great deal of time and money addressing a problem i was not properly notified about. *tr

The srs light on my 1999 honda accord is continually on. i was told by the dealer that my airbag wouldn't deploy if this light is on. cost of the "diagnostics and repair" is outrageous. *tr

Ignitions switch was replaced due to car randomly stalling on at least 6 occasions while driving resulting in near collisions due to loss of power steering, power brakes and the ability to accelerate in order to safely remove vehicle from the roadway. honda customer service informed me that the ignitions switch had been recalled however the ignitions switch had previously been replaced on my vehicle several years ago under this recall and any repair would be at my own expense. repair invoice is available as can verification of the problem by the repair shop who experienced the same problem while test driving the vehicle. i feel this repeated problem illustrates failure on honda to resolve the original problem associated with the defective ignition switch which presents an immediate treat to life of all owners of the 1999 honda accord and the public at large affected by the original recall and another recall should be mandated by the nhtsa. *tr

Main relay problems i recently purchased a 99 honda accord le coupe - 6 cylinder automatic. once i got the car home i found that the car had a starting problem. early morning when the temperature was cool the car would start fine. after sitting in the sun all day while at work the car would fail to start. opening the doors and letting the interior heat drop would allow the vehicle to start. with no satisfaction from the dealer other than looking at me like i was crazy i searched the internet for honda hard starting problem... i found a website that gave the same problem that i was having and directed to how to repair the main relay. i followed the directions as they explained and re-soldered 5 connections on the printed circuit of the main relay... since that time the honda will start in any type of weather. just seems odd after searching the forums and the amount of people that have had the same problems that i was having and nobody has seemed to know what it was... some searching turned up a problem resolve... now you mean to tell me that im not the only one having the problem and honda service centers tell me that they have never heard of a problem like mine.... don't get me wrong i love the accord and can live with some of the problems but as a customer i expect that honda would at least acknowledge that there is a problem and by the description they should be able to tell me what they think it is and how much it would cost to repair the vehicle....i'm not chasing a recall... i simply want my car to start when i turn the key... *tr

We bought our used accord about a year ago for our daughter to go to college and not to long after we realize that the transmission was starting to shift very rough especially from the lower gears to the high ones..we changed the transmission fluid and do all the regular maintenance for the vehicle.. yet we have noticed that the problem has gotten worse.. now the transmission not only jerks really bad shifting up but it's worse going downwards.. sometimes now the reverse gear will not engage and we have to turn off the engine and turn it back on before it goes to reverse.. we took it to the dealer and they said that we have to replace the transmission and most probably the engine mounts.. $2500 to $3500 we call american honda and see if they will help and of course our factory warranty has run out so we are on our own.. according to some auto shops that we have talked to this the problem that these accords have... faulty transmission.. what is honda doing? nothing .. what are we going to do? shouldn't we file a class action law suit against honda for not fixing this problem. *tr

Below are bits of a letter i sent in as part of a survey to the honda dealer: the honda (h) dealer in ftwaltonbeach, fl refused to replace the recall part. i have emails and numerous attempts to have it replaced; once i discovered there was a recall part, honda still wouldn't agree to fix it. initially, i thought they couldn't fix my car problem, so i bought a haynes manual, searched the web and attempted to diagnose it myself. that is how i found out about the recall. i contacted them about my discovery, and they told me i would have to pay for a diagnostic (which was indicated to me that i would have to pay for) to determine if the part truly needed replacing. they refused to replace the part. they stated the part had been replaced only 1/2 way through my struggle to get them to replace it. i was told by h corp. that it had not been replaced. honda.com indicated that it needed replacing, and then miraculously mid-ways through my battle with gsh it shows up in the computer as having been replaced. i have had the car since before the recall. i know for a fact that it had not been replaced. i do wonder how many other women and unsuspecting men they have gouged in the pocket to randomly replace good parts ($1000 - $2000 for me). my car finally broke down (wouldn't crank); i was w/out a vehicle for 1 week; one of my friends had it towed to her car dealer. he ran a diagnostic which indicated the recall part needed replacing, dah. he replaced the recall part. it has been about 2 mths now & no car problems at all; where before it had gotten to the point that it was shutting off on me at least once about every 30 m. i have emails with gsh, notes from phone conversations with both gsh and kai, notes from visits to gsh w/ the serv. dept. manager and the gsh manager, receipts for the replacement of in warranty parts & randomly replaced new parts, a copy of the fax i sent kai and a confirm. indicating it went through, in addition to having printouts of my searches on the web. *tr

We have a black 1999 honda accord that has a severe paint/clear coat issue. we have taken great care of this vehicle, keeping it garaged and washed and waxed on a regular basis. we contacted honda regarding this issue and they told us that "it is our responsibility as the owners to take care of our car". they also told us that because of the age of the car, paint issues 'happen' and they don't offer service on that old of a car. that is ridiculous. we just had it in to fix the ignition that was under a recall, and they tell us that they don't offer service on that old of a car? my wife and i are extremely frustrated at how we have been treated over this. the car has a defect in the clear coat finish that was backed up by our local service tech who said it wasn't sprayed on thick enough, thus the problem. *tr

Got a car tune-up done by a honda dealership. the gears shifted a lttle different but i attributed it to the tune-up. it progressively got worst so i took it back to the dealer to have it checked. after their analysis, they diagnosed it as a "bad differential" and it needed a new transmission. the car only had 78,000 when it was at the dealer for the tune-up the end of may. do i have any recourse through the manufacturer???

The transmission of my 99 honda accord ex v6 is behaving erratically and is creating a hazardous situation on the roads as the car suddenly jerks and speeds up or slows down as the transmission shifts erratically without any control. at times the car just locks up into 2nd or 3rd gear on the freeway. i believe this is a serious safety issue for others and for my family. after doing some research, i notice that a lot of other car owners have had or having similar experiences with this model and make of car. honda has issued a recall on the transmissions of other accords for model year 2000 - 2003, however i understand that even for the 1999 year accord, it has the same transmission problems as have come up on the 2000-2003 model years because it is the same transmission make. *tr

Mileage at start of problem,, app 60,000 now 130,000 in 08! i bought my 99 accord with 56,000 miles in 2003. i was called about the recall on the ignition switch, and honda replaced it for free, although at that time i was not having any problems. ok i started having problems with my car stalling. first time was on i40 going app 75. i was in the outer freaking lane and it just turned off. i lived with this very freaking hazardous problem for a long time because i didn't trust honda and money (just note one of the phone calls from honda the man told me he thought it was my ignition switch again and that they wouldn't be responsible for the cost of repair this freaking time but later decided it was something else,!)i was in college taking my emt practicals with an ems system and was having to drive to another county and be in contact via cell phone with honda, and borrow my dads truck!! they had my car for days and keep calling and asking if one of there mechanics could drive my car to lunch ,, and if they could take it home over night and so on, and finally said it wouldn't stall for them!!!!! i was ¿[email protected]#$%! they did another diagnostic test of 75$ and my check engine light wasn't even on! they also said i needed new spark plugs, i had new spark plugs and im not an idiot,, there was nothing absolutely nothing wrong with the [email protected]#$% things. they also eventually decided that i needed my fuel system cleaned, because they really didn't know what to do and this is what they said themselves! they told me they wouldn't charge me for the diagnostic fee if i got the 120$ new spark plugs, mine were new and working very well. so of course i had no option. after reading s few complaints here and on other sites, i am seeing that they totally took me for over 500$ and that my problem was in my ignition switch,, im wondering if they snuck and replaced it again behind my back just to charge me for other ¿[email protected]#$% they didn't do. i hate honda i hate honda,, i want some [email protected]#$% justice. *tr

I bought my 99 honda accord on june 28, 2003 for 16,000$ odometer readout 56,000 miles. i have since noticed noises and jerky like movements upon acceleration also when letting off the gas peddle when the car is trying to idol down. as if to be stuck or revving in the gear in which its leaving and ends with a jerk once it gets to the gear its changing to with a rev or jump especially if on a hill. now at just over 130,000 miles and in the year 2008 the problem is worse and worse. the problem has been temp. made better with flushing of the transmission fluid, and for whatever reason there is no changeable transmission fluid filter. i have been told by honda that i need a new transmission. what! 130,000 miles and it already needs replacing, this is suppose to be a honda,, honda once meant reliability, biggest mileage ect. i have not as of today which is july 15, 2008, replaced my transmission, and im hoping that with a little prayer god will have mercy on me and my dumb car, because i cant afford a new transmission, and yes i am willing to bet that they have this part in stock even!! hondas good to have those odd parts that break , lets you know that your not the only one with problems on those parts. they like to screw you once you drive up and tell you lots of things you do not need to do to your car just to take every dime you have to your name. i once saw a honda outside the showroom where i bought my car,, it was on showcase for its mileage of over 600,000 miles! im thinking they didn't have tranny problems before they reached 200,000 miles! *tr

I took my 1999 honda accord to my local honda dealer for a check engine light at 78,000 miles was told there was no code in the computer and my gas cap was the culprit. they said they reset computer and all was good well if you reset the computer this means you cleared any codes witch oh by the way there were not any codes right... low and behold at just after 84000 miles the light comes back on ,and this time there is a code cat and o2 sensor no good 1,100.00 dollars later im sent on my way. now at 126,000 the infamous p1457 code rears its ugly head and read that honda may have extended the emissions warranty to 14 years/130,000 miles. if this is true why was i charged for cat and o2 sensor back at 84,000 miles???lets just say im not a very happy honda customer right now. *tr

While driving, my car will stall. i then have to jiggle the key to start the car up. sometime it takes several times to get it going while in the middle of traffic. it occurs on almost a daily basis and occurs while stopped a light to even more frightening while driving in four gear. while this has yet to cause an accident, the possibility is very high. i researched this problem and found that there was a recall in 2002 (#02v120000). i called honda to find out why i was never notified or why the deal did not fix during my countless routine maintenance visits. out of 1,000,000 recalls i was told my vin was not part of the recall. this is an obvious issue that has been documented for the year of my car, but i am being told it wasn't part of the recall. this is very dangerous and i am sure there are others with the same problem. *tr

My 99 honda accord ex cuts off while traveling down the road without warning. this is due to ignition sensor which i corrected shortly after buying my car with rick hendrick honda. now years later there is a recall on the ignition interlock. but, honda will not fix the ignition senor because it has nothing to do with the recall. certainly this is a serious safety matter and i feel it's unfair that honda will only fix half of the problem and burden the cost to me. i don't think i'm alone with this type of problem. please investigate this matter. i feel i shouldn't have to pay for this ignition sensor. i had the recall ignition interlock fix at honda of columbia, p.o. box 8234 , columbia, sc 29202. *tr

Problem was the ignition switch that applies to of the safety items on the ignition switch recall. i was charge by a honda dealer $498.00 including taxes. the reason i have i brought my car was: worn contacts could cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. ( i do not understand why is not on the ticket ). as a secondary issue i have mentioning the lock not working properly as a result of your previous work (recall in 2007). your technician has told me that was a normal thing. the mechanical from firestone rafael toledo, (phone +1 (305) 667-4866) disagree with your suggestions at that time, the car should not been returned to me with the lock like that, but that was not important to me not even now.. anyways it always turn my car on. i told the advisor not to proceed with the recode of the old key because it was worn; i am really scared to drive my car now.

Hi, i own a 1999 4 door automatic honda accord ex-ul, but the transmission literally failed on this car and is due to the fact of a defective part, which i found from reading various article on the website. the honda is not accepting its problem. i have seen serial complaints out transmission failure on the website. honda have extended warranty by recall on 2000-2001 honda accord models, by they haven't done for 1999 models. my personal view is that they are avoid a huge recall by hiding the problem. i would request you to investigate the matter as it may cause lots of accidents due to transmission failure in the of the freeway. since honda is protecting himself, we would need you help to check on the reality of bad transmission put in 1999 hondas. *tr

I was driving to work as usual, when my accelerator pedal got stuck while trying to find a parking space. it was a cold morning, around 12 degrees, so i first thought that i was slipping on ice and had no control of the car. once off the icy patch, my car continued to take off on me, even with my foot on the brakes. it actually continued to speed up and that was the moment i knew i was in trouble. i was in the parking lot when this happened, so i did not have alot of room or time to put it in neutral or actually jump out. i sped out of the entry, through the street, over the curb, through the fence and landed on railroad ties, that thankfully high centered me, and another fence that ultimately stopped me. both bags deployed and my car was totaled. once i knew that i was o.k., i put the car in park, and the engine was still revving. that, i know, is not right. the whole time i could smell burnt rubber or brakes. i know the difference between my gas and brake pedal, and i definitely had my brakes applied. why would i want to cause this kind of damage to my car and especially myself ? i could have actually killed myself or someone else. if it was not for the railroad ties that high centered me. i would have gone right through the second fence and ended up, who knows where. i definitely had an angel watching over me. i am so upset and sore that i don't know what to do. i spent all day on the internet looking at other incidents involving the same make and model with accelerator problems, especially in cold weather. i guess this is not just "driver error" that everyone seems to think, now is it. *tr

Sometimes my car will just stop running without warning. extremely perilous when it happens in a turn and at low speeds because of loss of power steering or if sitting at a traffic signal. it appears to be related to the ignition. dash lights may or may not flash on an off. adjustment of the ignition key position/angle fixes it until it happens again. has happened about 10 times in the last year. *tr

I can add another transmission failure from a honda accord 1999. this car has the same transmission as the recalled transmissions on honda accord from 2000 to 2002. my transmission seal leaked at 110,000 miles. i had the transmission rebuilt at 149,000 miles for $2100. of course, the reason i bought a honda was better engineering. i am beginning to think that i have a false perception of the honda quality. this was my first honda and i don't think at this time that my next car will be a honda automatically. i have gotten unsold on them. based on all of the other letters i saw on this same problem, and the fact these cars had lower mileage, i don't think i have a prayer on honda kicking in something for the repair. next time i buy a car i am starting with these letters on cars at this website first!!!! cars are quite expensive to have to settle for problems! *tr

[xxx] november 21, 2006 i was driving on a freeway, and i noticed smoke streaming from the top of the steering column. i took the exit off the freeway. the car was losing power, and jerked when i gave it gas. i pulled over and called the tow truck. the car was towed to marin honda, a nearest dealer. november 24, 2006 they tested and found the electrical portion of the ignition switch had failed. they replaced it but at the same time the (trans gear selection) light began to flash. the service advisor said that it's a completely different problem. marin honda charged us $205 for the replacement of ignition switch. november 24, 2006 ever since the ignition switch was replaced, the trans gear selection begins to flash when the engine is on. and it makes a clunk sound and the whole car shakes when the gear is shifted to reverse or drive. i called the marin honda service advisor and said the transmission problem must be related to the ignition switch replacement, but he was adamant that ignition switch has nothing to do with transmission. he said it is pure coincidence that both the ignition and transmission had problems at the same time. november 28,2006 december 1, 2006 the mechanic at petaluma honda said that the range sensor is malfunctioning and there are a few wires dangling which may be why the cruise control is not working. the
