Read complaints for HONDA ACCORD (1999)


Defective transmission in '99 accord lx. Mechanic verified that it was design flaw seen in several '98-'01 transmissions, yet honda's extended warranty only covers '00-'01 models (thanks for standing by your product, honda). Just bought the car and will cost $3000-5000 to fix. I'm a student and cannot afford this. This is clearly a safety issue and they need to be recalled soon before they really start malfunctioning due to age and mileage.

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.

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.
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.
The airbag sensor light stayed on. The dealer was notified. *nlmscc

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.
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.

I am having a hard time securing my child seat in the middle position rear seat. It doesn't have a lock on the 3 point belt . I used the harness retainer that came with the century car seat which helps, but i feel the seat shouldn't move at all according to the parents magarticle i read. Any ideas on how to secure this seat any better??? thanks.
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.
Took the key out of the igition and all accessories are still on.consumer contacted dealer and manufacturer.
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.
1999 honda accord occasionally shuts off without warning while driving.all car functions fail (power steering, power brakes, turn signals...).will need to replace ignition switch according to dealer.for some reason dealer says nhtsa campaign id number: 02v120000 does not cover my vehicle.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred at different speeds intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the ignition switch would have to be replaced. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 02v120000 (electrical system:ignition:switch) but was advised by the manufacturer that the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 02v120000 (electrical system) but the dealer refused to repair the vehicle a second time. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
While coming to a stop at a stop sign the car shut itself off, but restarted, all the electronics were not affected. A second event happened two weeks later while the car was being driven at 65mph, power steering, and power brakes were affected.
Consumer experienced the same problem as stated inrecall 02v120000 concerningelectrical system failure. Dealership would not repair because the vin was not included. Evoq filed by: robert murphy 770- 806-1911.*tc
Car has intermittent stalling issues while driving. Car has been serviced in leesburg honda, only known thru carfax report. Leesburg honda could not verify if ignition switch was repaired from recall status. Verification came from charlottesville brown's honda that switch was replaced but not by who. Told if key was shook while running and car stalled then it was ignition switch. Car still persists intermittently in shutting off with no warning signs. Sometimes, after stall, it takes several turns of key to finally get car started. Stalling can happen at any time and has in fast lanes of highways making car a little hard to steer of the road. Only hazard lights work to send warning sign of car trouble.
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 toand 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 paymentona recall,however, the dealership is charging me $200.00.
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 correctedthe 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 inan automatic transmission though). I was lucky a car behind me had enough space to stop.this time, i researchedthe web and noticed many owners havesimilar 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 switchfp 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 is35130-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.
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.
1999 honda accord ex coupe v6 (california)engine stalls immediately when blinker/signal lever is used, for left or right turn signal. When engine stalls, green "key" light flashes on dashboard.otherwise, failure happens randomly. Failure has occurred both while driving at 60+ mph and while vehicle is stopped.at high speeds, engine stalls and then restarts in a few seconds.has not occurred when engine was cold/not-warmed-up.failure occurred about once a month at first, but in the last three months, averages about one failure a week. Failure started happening at around 70,000 miles.car now has ~92,000 miles.car has had one owner since purchased new. Car recieves regular scheduled maintenance. Car had complete tune-up (oil/filter,spark plugs, ignition cap & rotor, ignition wires, transmission fluid (honda), air filter, fuel system cleaner, etc...) after first failure. Alternator failed and was replaced many months after "stalling/blinker" failures first occurred, and had no apparent affect on stalling problem.stalling still occurs, and have no idea what cause is.
1999 honda accord stalled without warning. Consumer states that the mechanic replaced the combination switch which was causing the vehicle to stall. Consumer believes there should be a recall.
Vehicle shuts off during driving, then difficult to start again.until remove key from ignition, then put back and retry.
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!
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.

Engine cuts out while driving.radio, lights and other electrical devices remain on. No check engine light appears; however a green key symbol light does appear on the dash after the cut-out.issue has recurred three times so far.mechanic states issue is due to ignition switch and that the issue appears to be as described by nhtsa 02v120000.however, honda states that my vehicle's vin is not covered by the recall and recommended contacting nhtsa for resolution.
1999 honda accord repeatedly has sudden loss of power while driving.symptoms are exactly the same as those surrounding previous recall suggesting an ignition switch failure.local dealer indicated the recall service was previously completed.
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.

While driving down the road engine and other electrical components shut off.it was determined the ignition switch was bad.it had been replaced previously under recall. Dealer refused to fix again without payment.this hazard presents a potential for serious injury or worse.
I own a 1999 honda accord. It will periodically stall while i am driving. I believe it is an electrical failure of some sort because some of the dash lights go out and it just quietly stalls. This ha happened in town, in intersections, on the highway...it is scary and dangerous.it happens randomly and with no pattern. My mechanic says he can't find the problem. I found a description of the same problem online and it said it was a sensor in the ignition.
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.

1999 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to the faulty ignition switch recall.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.
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 switchwires, 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.

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.
Consumer states her brakes lights stays on, even after releasing the emergencybrakes. After she drives the car for a while the light goes out.also the power outlet switch does not work either.she has taken this auto to the dealer ship three time already.ts

I have a 1999 honda accord lx with a 4 cylinder vtec engine.1-12-08 while driving at lower speeds--typically 30 to 45 mph the car will jerk and change gears when not needed.at highway speeds the car stalls and i have to shift to neutral to restart.update: may 2008 and i have no reverse gear at all.after reading all the complaints i would really like to know why honda has not put a recall on these 1998 and 1999 transmissions. Why?does someone really have to die before they fix their own problem?i am calling honda in the morning and if i don't get satisfactory results i would like to start a negative campaign against honda.this is crazy and i want answers.
While driving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits. The radio, heater fan, brake lights still work but not the signal lights nor the dashboard indicators. After a few hours troubleshooting, i realized that if i wiggle the lower of five wires on the ignition switch, the instrument panel indicator will return to functioning properly and the car will then be able to start. While the engine is running, if i wiggle the same wire, the engine and instrument panel will not operate.

The car cuts off at any giving time the lights are dim and the electrical is malfuntioning.
My car stalls while driving. This is dangerous and i am afraid.
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 toresolve the originalproblem 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.
1999 honda accord - while driving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits.

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.
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.
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.
As i was driving my vehicle on the highway, the engine suddenly turned off.as a result, i had to maneuver the car to the side of the highway as i coasted to a stop.during this time it was difficult to steer.i was able to turn the car on again and be on my way.it then happened again several miles down the highway.this was about 5 days ago and it has not happened since.
1999 honda accord engine stalls unexpectedly. Ignition part was recalled by honda in 2003 and was replaced free of charge. Problem started few months back and it is happening more frequently now. Honda regional office refuses to acknowledge the problem and refuses to pay for the repair.
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 ignitionswitch hardness is the defect that needs to be replace!!!! honda motors needs to recall these vehicles!!!!!!!
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.

After my second honda ignition switch had been replaced after almost getting me killed by cutting out while i was going 80 (in a 75),the replacement which has been in my car for about 5 weeks and installed by honda of flagstaff az, with around 1000 miles on it is now exhibiting the same pre-failure symptoms exhibited by the switch it had replaced. Failure to start after being left in direct sun for prolonged period. It then will stall immediately after starting, then refuse to turn over at all. Additionally, and here is the safety complaint, the car will lose its electrics and them spontaneously turn back on while the car is being operated. The incident on august 9th occurred on city streets in escondido ca at speeds between 15 and 35 mph.
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.
Driving car down the road and the engine shuts off.
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.
While driving on a city street at any speed my car may stall without warning.sometimes it occurs during a turn, other times while driving at 30-45 mph.it then will take a couple of attempts to restart.this has occurred 5 times in the last year.
Recall order for ignition switch replacement was never brought to dealer to perform. Now that problem has occurred dealership repair claims to have done work on two recall items that were never brought in for repair. I.e., fraudulent claim of replacement work was filed with honda by dealership. Claim repair was done 1/28/2006. Have all repair records from 2000.
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?
I was driving at 30 miles per hour, first the maintenance blink then all warning lights blink and the engine shut off.i was able to switch to park and restart.*ln
As you are driving the engine just shuts off. After pulling over the engine will restart most of the time.the problem appears to be in the ignition switch.

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...

Takata recall i had problems with getting the key to turn in the ignition.it eventually failed.i was informed by a professional that it was the key.i had the key replaced.honda tried to charge me for the key knowing that there was a recall.too, my headlights have always been very dimmed.i have bought several replacements.they still appear very dim.
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?
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.

My car will randomly stall out when stop or driving. Its stalled while stopped at a light, turning after stopped at a stop sign, on the highway during rush hour traffic. All the lights will come on, the rpm will fall to zero, its will kind of chug like if a manual were to stall even though it is an automatic. The spark plugs, ignition switch, distributor and pvc valve have been replaced.
While driving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits. The radio, heater fan, brake lights still work but not the signal lights. Fortunately, i live in a semi-rural area so traffic did not present a problem but on a busy freeway or in heavy city traffic the consequences could be deadly. Imagine passing a car and all of a sudden, no engine!!!!this has happened over the last 6 months for us and sees to happen regularly on warmer days, but occurs either driving 70mph on the freeway or just turning the car into a parking spot. The situation is that very situation to the case at http://www.visualimpressions.ca/switch/ and we're planning to get the switches replaced. I was going to spend a lot of money to get the car looked at and fixed by guesswork without realizing it was a defect in the honda model. We own a 1999 honda accord ex. Please share this defect with other consumers of the vehicle as it was very inconvenient and dangerous for us. To restart the car while in motion, i put the car into neutral and turn the key to start up risking the car more by having a horrible scratching sound. Luckily this works in the meantime while i find the wires, however i wish i'd known about the defect ahead of time.
Ignition switch failure on 1999 honda ex accord...my vehicle shuts off while driving on the highway or regular roads..you have a large recall on this vehicle but my vin is not on the list..numerous individuals have the same problems as the recalled vins but you allow honda to exclude the repair..you are to blame whenever people are killed or injured.. Your job is to protect the public not honda....recall was in 2002.
My honda accord ex 1999 engine stops running with in 2miles of the place it was started. If you let it warm up it will run fine. Has been to 2 different honda dealers 12 times with no resolve.
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 fearfulbecause 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).
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?!
Was passing a car on a rural road and the vehicle just died then restarted luckily there was no car coming but that could have been bad later i found out there is a common problem with the ignition switch but the dealer told me it does not affect my vin number well... I say it does!
While driving, srs air bag light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumerdrove the vehicle to dealer for inspection, andmechanic determined that the air bagsneeded to be replaced.all the vehicle's door locks stopped working after the dealer replaced the recalled ignition switch.the consumer requested that the manufacturer pay for the door lock repair.they agreed to pay for the part but wanted the consumer to pay for the labor.the consumer believes they should pay the total expense.
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.
Ignition switch failure on 1999 honda accord.not one of the vin numbers i was told that was involved in the recall.had to repair on my own.the car stops running intermittently with no power at all and then restarts.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. While driving 60 mph, the ignition switch moves and caused the vehicle to stall. The contact pulled over and it took five minutes to restart the vehicle.

The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.
After driving about 20 miles in mixed city/highway traffic and without warning while traveling approximately 35 mph in heavycity 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.
All the lights, radio, dashboard came on, but when i turned the ignition to start it wouldn't turnover. Also when i go to slow down or stop the car cuts completely off. It happens more often than it doesn't.
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.
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.

Engine stops while driving highway speed, leading up to the problem i will have problems getting the car started, car will start, then lights in the dash will flash and then the car will cut off, even when in drive. The problem is very consistent and not reliable and dangerous.

I have a 1999 honda accord lx and while passing a transport the engine suddenly died at 140km/hr. I put the car in neutral but it didn't start,so as we slowed downanother transport which was coming up behind us to pass the slower transport as well then started honking the horn and we could nothing but wait till the transport we were attempting to pass got further ahead of us so we could pull over to shoulder and allow the transport behind us to get by. It was a very dangerous scary situation. The car did restart after several attempts. We had just had the ignition changed under the recall about two weeks prior to this. We have recently removed any unnecessary keys and used only the honda key and it has not quit since.
Dash lights out. I read in the newspaper that there is a recall for honda accord sedans models from 2000-01.mine is a 1999.
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.
While driving on i-75 south bound all of sudden my car (1999 honda accord) stalled, immediately i put the car in neutral and moved to the shoulder, i realized this was an issues with my ignition switch. I could hold the ignition key and drive. I called a tow truck and he took me to the nearest mechanic who said there was a recall on the ignition switch. He gave me temporary fix that would get me home and i could talk to my honda dealer.the issue is if there was a recall and if was fixed (next my dealer told me that my recall was fixed) why did it occur again. Was the fix done during the recall was not good enough? is there a really an problem with ignition switch?i had the car fixed at the dealer again.

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
The power window was inoperative. It was possible it maybe due to an electrical problem.the dealer had been contacted.please describe further.
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.
My honda1999 barley has 79,000 on it, im second owner. I bought it when it had only 37,000 mil. On it. The car is already having transmission problems. It jerks when driving and coming to a stop, like a pop jerky feel. My cooling system had problem in 2010 oil going into my radiator. And know i have electrical problem. The car at times would go off. 79,000 i cant believe it.you would think this my car was a ford with their older modules. Known to have engine problems after 70,000. This is crazy. I have all papers from first owner, never realized till reaching the chaos of my engine. That my car as well was a recall. I have the documents.
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!!
While approaching a stop light at north loop 1604 weston 9/26/09, the engine stalled without warning. I had to sit there in the middle of the street and struggle to get it started again and hope no one came behind me.while driving on university campus, the engine stalled out of the blue. It happens about 6 times per day while driving the vehicle on busy city streets. The consequences are extreme stress and fear for mine and others' safety because i don't know when this vehicle will just stop on me. This exactissue is described in nhtsa campaign id number: 02v120000. I called honda and was told by on operator that there is no such issue with the 1999 honda accord and there was only one recall on this particular vehicle, yet i found over 15 recalls on the 1999 honda accord by searching thenhtsa website. While it may be true that not all of those recalls may apply to the1999 honda accord that i drive, nhtsa campaign id number: 02v120000 is exactly what is happening to my car when i am driving it.

Ignition switch failurevehicle 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.

Ignition some times doesn't work
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?
In 2002 - 2004 my 1999 honda, accord had a recall to replace ignition switch, vehicle could stall in traffic causing an accident. I had the ignition switch replaced by honda in 2004.

The vehicle shutting off starts to get more frequent, so i take it to a mechanic, who replaces the ignition switch. The problem seems to be fixed for now. Apparently honda didn't fix the problem with the first recall.

I know of the recallon the ignition switch but they said my accord is not on the list. I have worked for honda for 15 years and always backed there cars but that didn't matter to them, i guess that's how they treat their employees. I'd rather have a toyota .

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 '!@#$%! they did another diagnostic test of 75$ 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 ?!@#$% things.they also eventually decided that i needed my fuel system cleaned, because they really didn't know what to do and this is what they said themselves!they told me they wouldn't charge me for the diagnostic fee if i got the 120$ 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 '!@#$% they didn't do.i hate honda i hate honda,, i want some ?!@#$% justice.
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.
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.

Honda accord ignition switch failure leading to engine cut out on highway (going 80), electrical short caused smoking from dash.
Dt: the lights will come on when starting the vehicle.maintenancelight will stay on, and then when driving on the freeway about 60-80 mph the green light will pop on, and the vehicle will just cut off.
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!
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.
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.
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:$1516.30second 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).
Car shuts off while driving.
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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. While driving approximately 50 mph, the engine stalled with the illumination of the warning indicator. The vehicle restated and resumed as normal. The failure recurred four times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated the malfunction was related to the ignition switch. There was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 02v120000 (electrical system: ignition: switch). The manufacturer was notified and they informed the vin was ineligible under the recall defect. The vehicle had not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
Engine shuts down while driving.this seems always to occur within a minute or so after the anti-lock braking system light comes on.otherwise i have no way to predict when it will happen, and it has occurred in a variety of traffic conditions including while driving at high speed on express or freeway lanes.i have taken the vehicle to the dealer three times with this complaint and they deny that anything is wrong or that they can fix it.the incident date reported here is only the most recent occurrence.
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.

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.
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
Ignition switch failed. Car repeatedly stalled. This was the same part recalled in 2000/2001. This switch was not replaced then (dealer said switch was ok).

1999 honda accord v6 2 dr sometimes starts and not start. Ongoing issue for 3 months. Took it a honda dealer who could not duplicate the problem. Told via internet it may be a main relay, coil or fuel pressure regulator. What's scary is honda has no clue about this issue. All recalls (2) have been completed.
1999 honda accord stalling in all situations. Customer states that he had the vehicle repaired for a recall on the ignition switch, but the vehicle is still stalling out.the dealer asked the consume had the battery been replaced in the vehicle. The consumer stated the battery hadbeen replaced. The dealer stated the problem was most likely the pcm computer lost some of its parameters when the battery was replaced and that the software would have to downloaded back into the onboard computer.
Vehicle shifts down while driving....had switch replaced and still stops while driving intermittently.the fix is the main relay under the dash....$55 fix cost me $700 plus as honda said it was the switch the egr and wanted to hook up electrical system.....only cost $55 for main relay and can easily pop in and out...c'mon honda, driving and then car shutting down while driving>>>>>@#$%^&*().......would love to see how honda execs would feel if their family was in such a car and it happens with an 18 wheeler right behind you on the highway and you cant switch lanes as you cant accelerate as the engine is shut off!
Occasionally the car has died while driving on city streets or interstate.the tach drops immediately to zero and i think all or most of the dash lights come on like they would with the key in the start position.when i try to restart the car, it starts and runs for about one second then dies again.sometimes, it will take four or more attempts before it will keep running like normal.it does this when the car is cold or hot and has done this in intersections.there was a recall for this problem (nhtsa no. 02v120000) for 1999 honda accords, but honda says my vin was not included, therefore i am not covered.
After owning the vehicle for two days it broke down on the highway.vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced the battery and the alternator.on another occasion,the vehicle broke down due to an alternator bolt breaking.it wasreplaced.on a third occasion, the serpentine belt failed.currently,vehicle is at dealers shop again because it will not start.*nlm

I was driving my 1999 honda accord when my cd started skipping and then my abs dash light came on.i continued on the highway (a major interstate with heavy traffic) until my exit.when i slowed down at an approaching intersection, my car just died.absolutely everything quit...radio, ac,etc...car flashers would not work, i was stranded in heavy traffic without any way to let approaching traffic know i had car trouble.put my hood and trunk up and escaped my car.it was terrible...but would have been much worse if i had still been on i-285 which is a heavily trafficked artery around atlanta with multiple lanes and fast traffic. I got absolutely no warning that this would happen...no dash lights (i.e. Battery indicator light) came on to let me know that my alternator had died.that is why the car quit as i slowed at the intersection...the battery had been drained completely.i have had nightmares about what would have happened to me had i still been on the interstate or had this occurred at night, and i do not feel safe knowing that this could happen again since i travel that busy highway every day! i think this is a major electrical defect.my car was repaired at carey paul honda in snellville ga and they assured me that i did not have an electrical problem...but, no indicator light came on at all!please investigate this.i will also contact honda of america about this problem.
Alternator bracketcracked twice in one year.
Check engine light came on. Had the dealer check for the code which came up as p1491, egr valve issue. There is documentedrecall/note for this major design defect part, but only for 8yr/80k miles. I called american honda and asked for "good faith"/if they would pay for the repair. Am/honda refused my request. My 99 accord ex v6 has 130k miles. This is a known documented design flaw. Emission parts should last the life of the car. Had to shell out $300 for that repair. I have owned 7 other honda's plus this car. This is the first time i have had this type of issue. American honda needs to do better. I am seriously considering changing car brands, possibly switching to toyota.

Driving down the road when the crankshaft pully fell out of the bottom of the engine,resulting in power steeering failure and engine died.the power steering went out, the altenator quit, the water pump quit.luckily i could coast into a parking lot entrance to get off of the highway.the crankshaft bolt "crystalized" and broke off inside the crankshaft.the timing belt, crankshaft pully and bolt, and the water pump had to be replaced.
Dt: the bolt backed out of thepulley in the engine, resultingin ruined pulley/ bent the crank shaft/loss ofpower steering/ defective alternator,andair conditioning (a/c) failure.dealership was surpride. Consumer, had to pay out of pocket for the new pulley.

Horn button needs repair but is integral to a very expensive airbag assembly, making the horn repair financially unachievable, resulting in consumers driving cars with inoperable horns, very unsafe.
The horn failed to work when needed. Vehicle was taken to the dealership, and technician determined that hornand the air bag were designed on the steering wheel.they need to remove the air bag to fix the horn,and this will cost $2500 at consumer's expense. The consumer requested that the manufacturer pay for the repair since it appeared to be a manufacturing defect.
Once the recall for ignition switch was done,the consumer had to pay 79.99 to have the alarm rewired. Ph

1999 honda accord ex coupe v6 (california)engine stalls immediately when blinker/signal lever is used, for left or right turn signal. When engine stalls, green "key" light flashes on dashboard.otherwise, failure happens randomly. Failure has occurred both while driving at 60+ mph and while vehicle is stopped.at high speeds, engine stalls and then restarts in a few seconds.has not occurred when engine was cold/not-warmed-up.failure occurred about once a month at first, but in the last three months, averages about one failure a week. Failure started happening at around 70,000 miles.car now has ~92,000 miles.car has had one owner since purchased new. Car recieves regular scheduled maintenance. Car had complete tune-up (oil/filter,spark plugs, ignition cap & rotor, ignition wires, transmission fluid (honda), air filter, fuel system cleaner, etc...) after first failure. Alternator failed and was replaced many months after "stalling/blinker" failures first occurred, and had no apparent affect on stalling problem.stalling still occurs, and have no idea what cause is.
Dt: the contact stated while driving vehicle it stalledand lost power.there were no prior warnings indicating a problem with the vehicle. The only dashboardlight that illuminated was the greenkey light.after the vehicle stalledit immediately started up. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer on many different occasions, but they could not duplicate the problem.she believed itmay be a problem in the electrical ignition system.
Extreme dissatisfaction with honda's response to the consumer's mechanical problem.(nar)*ph
The key of the car can be removed from the ignition switch without first placing the transmission in park.this makes it possible for the driver to leave the car with the key without first locking the transmission.this is not a one-time event but can be done at any time.
Vehicle loses power while driving; panel lights blink with the exception of the check engine light. This has occurred on 4 separate occasions.one time, it would not start until the 5th or 6th turn of the key.i could not even change gears.the anti- theft light has blinked on occasion while in motion as well.also, it does not accelerate properly.it was taken to the dealer in 11/1999 for repair.they kept it for 2 days and could not find anything wrong. A week and a half later, it lost power when trying to move at a green light. The dealer even charged me $15 for a rental car even though the car was leased in august 1999 and is under warranty.

Honda currently has a recall scheduled on their website for 1999 accords involving the ignition switch. This failure causes the car to quit while driving and/or not start properly. These have both happened to me, but honda will not do anything about it as my vin is not supposed to have a bad switch. My vehicle is acting exactly as described on the website. It has quit while driving two times and not started once. Both times it quit i was driving in traffic. It started right up again. Can anything be done to get my vehicle fixed under the recall. It is unreliable the way it is. Dt
My husband and i bought a 1999 honda accord ex in 2002. Not long after buying the car we noticed that the car acted sluggish when going from a stop.it wasn't that much of a problem so we didn't do much about it other than adding heet to the gasoline thinking we had bad gasoline.then we started noticing a sort of grinding noise when we would start the car which came from the key ignition.the car wouldn't start so we would try again and then it would start. This year 2006 we started having problems with the car stalling when we would stop at stop signs. We took the car to a mechanic and we paid for new spark wire and plug.soon after the car started stalling as we were driving down the highway!we immediately took car to a honda dealership where we were told our catalytic converter needed to be replaced!my husband didn't think this was the problem so we didn't have it replaced.the car kept on getting worse almost causing a couple of accidents when it would quit going down the highway. We then heard of a recall on 1999 honda accords through consumer reports. We made an appointment with the honda dealership again but were told we would have to pay for the repair since our car wasn't included in the recall! we called honda corp to find out why it wasn't included and were told they recalled only certain makes and models and ours wasn't one of them. We of course went ahead and had the ignition switch replaced.we can't understand why honda didn't have our model and make recalled when we could have been in a serious accident.at the very least we should have been told of a problem so we could have repaired it right away.we did keep the ignition switch.we just had the car repaired but haven't had any problems with it stalling.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord.when the contact turned the ignition, the vehicle would immediately shut off.occasionally, the vehicle would stall while driving 35 mph.the failure has occurred several times.there were no warning lights prior to the failures.the dealer stated that his vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 02v120000 (electrical system:ignition:switch), although the failures were identical.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer for a similar recall repair, but the failure was still not corrected.the purchase date was unknown.the current mileage was 107,000 and failure mileage was 104,000.
I was trying on the highway going about 65 mph when the car stalled.when i realized what happened and tried to coast off the road, the car started back up without me doing anything.it continued to stall and restart nine times in a 3 mile stretch.the last time i pulled off the road because the car did not restart.i waited a few minutes and tried to start the car.it started.i drove the next 10 miles holding the key steadying in the ignition.i don't know if that helped but i got home without it stalling again.i knew it was the ignition switch because it had been recalled and replaced twice previously.when i took it to the dealer they told me it was my emission system and i had to have my evac canister replaced ($250).i did that and was driving home from the dealer when my car stalled and restarted again.i took it to a local repair man who took care of the problem.he replaced the ignition switch and the car has been fine since.
I was driving back from sf to our home in santa rosa, and i noticed smoke streaming from the top of the steering column. Then the odometer dropped from 65 to 0, went back to 65, then fluctuated. As 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 engine did not start when the tow truck driver tried it, although it cranked.the car was towed to marin honda. They tested and found the electrical portion of the ignition switch had failed.they replaced it but at the same time the d4(trans gear selection)light began to flash. The service advisor said that it's a completely different problem, and that we should take the car back to the mechanic who replaced the trans fluid 7 weeks ago.(my wife told the customer service advisor that we had the trans work done a couple of months ago when it fact it was just changing fluid as part of regular maintenance). Marin honda charged us $205 for the replacement of ignition switch. The d4 starts flashing when the engine is started and shift to any one of gears. And it makes a big clunk and the whole car shakes when the gear is shifted to reverse or drive. I called marin honda cust advisor and told him it must be related to ignition switch replacement, but he's adamant that it has nothing to do with it.when we checked your website and looked under "recall" for 1999 accord, we found it had ignition sw recalls in three different years, 2002, 2003, and 2005. Ignition switch(2002), cylinder wear, collar, plate latch(2003), interlock function(2005). Could trans range sensor ckt malfunction be caused by heat from the ignition wiring burning out?
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.

The honda accord ignition switch recall in 2002 arrived the same day my wife had our 1999 honda die on her while driving on i-95. The engine suddenly dying (turn the key and it starts right up again) has happened a total of six times since then. Each time we've taken it to our honda dealer. They eventually said to bring it in the next time it quits (without re-starting it) so they can find out what's wrong. How do i do that? the recall stated they would replace the ignition switch with a new improved one. Only recently did i find out that the dealer only replaced the wiring (twice) and it continues to die. The dealer says it can't be the cylinder/tumbler (and i say it must be the tumbler) and that it would cost me about $380 to replace the complete ignition switch (which they should have done in the first place.honda should do something.too many people have had this happen to them!
Over the last two months, my accord ex has stalled numerous times while driving on highways, major streets, and a couple of times in the middle of major intersections.not only does it stall, but it is very difficult to start up again.i sometimes have to sit wherever i may be for 10-15 minutes while trying to start up again.when i took it to the dealer last week to have the recall on the ignition switch taken care of, i was informed it was already done in october 2002.yet, they told me my problem was a bad ignition switch.they proceeded to tell me that honda has no obligation to fix it since they have already replaced it once.when i complained that 3 1/2 years was an unusually short life for an ignition switch, especially after a recall, i was given the honda customer service number to call and complain.upon calling, i was again told that honda has no obligation to do anything.i continued to complain.finally, they told me they would file a case for individual review.today, i received the decision that my case does not qualify as a "goodwill case" because my car does not receive its maintenance at the dealer. (why should i when i can get the same work done for 1/3 to 2/3 of what the dealer charges.) i told the customer service rep, chris, that apparently the switches honda furnished the dealers for the recall parts were as defective as the original and honda does not want to take any responsibility for their actions or for possible effects of them.he did not disagree, but maintained his stance that they had no obligation since they fixed it once and i don't have my car repaired at the dealer.i don't understand how policy for "goodwill" cases can supersede safety issues.i strongly believe that honda should pay for replacement of the switch.they are flat denying any responsibility for a problem that can and probably already has resulted in serious injury.

Electrical system failure due to faulty ignition switch over the course of two months.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The ignition switch failed to operate normally. Nhtsa campaign id: 05v025000 is related to the failure. The ignition switch was replaced at the owners expense since honda refused to make the repair per the recall. The failure mileage was 175000.
For the past few years the 1999 honda accord would randomly fail to start when battery and allothe mechnicals components were normal. After multiple trips to garages the problemwas narrowed down to the ignition switch thatwa s not properly disabling immobilizer system. I found out there is an outstaning recall on this problem (recall id from nhtsa: 02v120000). However, honda limit the recall to a small number of vins and fail to address the problem for many other owners with the same complaints.
Ignition switch failurevehicle 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.

Problem was the ignition switch that appliesto 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 notbeen 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. ( phone conversations).

Problems getting starter recall repairs complete.*mrthe starter was recall.the vehicle was taken tot he dealer for replacement.when the consumer returned to pick up the vehicle the dealer indicated that the work was not done because something came up.after the consumer left the dealer they called and said they could not do the recall because the consumer installed a non-honda alarm on the vehicle.the consumer agreed to be responsible if anything went wrong and gave them permission to do the work but they said no.*nlm
Consumer states after leaving her driveway and approaching the first stop sign the auto died, then all the panel lights came on.she was able to restart the auto. Then after driving it for another 3-4 mins and stopped at a stop light the auto cut off again. Now she has a recall for the ignition and she is told by her dealer that they do not have the part, and will not have it for another couple weeks.
Dt*: the contact stated at various speeds or while stopped, the vehicle stalled without warning on numerous occasions.the vehicle restarted each time, and was taken to the dealership where the starter was replaced. The dealer replaced the ignition switch. Updated 12/05/06.
While driving vehicle lurched forward, andstalled three times.engine check warning indicator lightilluminated.vehicle was taken to the dealer three times. Starter was replaced, and the dealer performed a valve job.also,dealerrecommended replacing the automatic transmission with a rebuilt transmission.
The starter blew apart after starting on 3/10/03.the bendix was in two pieces and lodged itself between the flywheel and motor.one piece was able to be removed, the second cannot be removed unless the transmission is removed. The dealer indicated this was a new occurrence and never before happened to their knowledge.the consumer service at honda did not seem too concerned that this had occurred and seemed unwilling to research this even though they also indicated that this was the first time.
Short in the electrical system.the dashboard clock light went out, followed by the ac adapter.about 2 months after the adapter went out (working spuratically) the driver's side power locks stopped working when the car is off and/or the door is opened.i also have a "check engine" light come on when there is nothing wrong with my engine.
Update toodi 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 powerwhile at a stop sign in a mall. It took 2 attempts to restart car. I could not imaginewhat the problem could possibly be so i researched the possible problemand foundthat this honda had ignition switch problems. Ipurchased 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 dealeron 1/23/12 and told the tech what i thought the problem was. The test showed it wasindeed the ignition switch once again . The cost for replacing was $206. 36.. So, honda's recall in 2002 did notcorrect this defect.
I was driving on the interstate. My car started trying to go out on me like it wasn't getting the fuel it needed or something. I was going 65mph and then also when i stop at a light it tries to idle out or it does go out.

The car cuts off at any giving time the lights are dim and the electrical is malfuntioning.
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.
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!!!!!!

Ignition some times doesn't work
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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact parked, shifted into neutral, and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. A warning light illuminated, but the contact was unable to identify the name of the warning light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall and did not provide a diagnosis for the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 236,988.
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 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!
1999 honda accord was subject of a recall in may 2002 for ignition switch that the car would shut down unexpectedly. Repair was completed on subject auto and has not had any further problems with the switch until two weeks ago. The car would shut down and did at 65mph in traffic. Managed to steer to the roadside and restart the car. This could have been a major accident! the switch has again been replaced at my expense. This is not right.
My 1999 honda will randomly just quit running.the engine dies and the door locks unlock.it will start right away.from what i've been reading, there was a recall for this exact situation.do you know how i can contact the company to final a complaint?
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 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 switchwires, 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.
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 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!!!
As you are driving the engine just shuts off. After pulling over the engine will restart most of the time.the problem appears to be in the ignition switch.
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.
As i was driving my vehicle on the highway, the engine suddenly turned off.as a result, i had to maneuver the car to the side of the highway as i coasted to a stop.during this time it was difficult to steer.i was able to turn the car on again and be on my way.it then happened again several miles down the highway.this was about 5 days ago and it has not happened since.
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.
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.
The engine shut off twice on that day while i was driving. Fortunately, there was no accident but might have been in a serious accident. I searched the internet and found out some old honda models had these kind of problems and it was caused by a defected ignition switch. I contacted a local honda dealer but there was no active recall regarding of this problem. I got my ignition switch replaced in a mechanic shop.
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.

My 99 honda accord ex shuts off while driving, this started almost two years ago. The car provides zero notice. I recently attended a auto parts shop for testing and they were unable to assist. I was directed to my local honda dealership. I researched the matter online and determined my car was on recall for this problem. I briefly remember receiving a recall notification by mail several years ago but did nothing. I called breakaway honda in greenville sc and was denied recall based on my vin.

The a/c compressor drips directly on the subframe, which rusted it completely apart. Which in turn, destroyed the suspension. My car is now waiting to be towed back to my house, totally not drivable. I was on a city street. Normal turn around a corner. If i would have been injured, i would be filing a lawsuit against honda for extremely poor engineering and lack of thinking this horrible design flaw through completely. Please contact me asap at [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My honda1999 barley has 79,000 on it, im second owner. I bought it when it had only 37,000 mil. On it. The car is already having transmission problems. It jerks when driving and coming to a stop, like a pop jerky feel. My cooling system had problem in 2010 oil going into my radiator. And know i have electrical problem. The car at times would go off. 79,000 i cant believe it.you would think this my car was a ford with their older modules. Known to have engine problems after 70,000. This is crazy. I have all papers from first owner, never realized till reaching the chaos of my engine. That my car as well was a recall. I have the documents.
Large amounts of engine oil were observed in the coolant reservoir.at the same time decrease of the engine oil was noted on the oil indicator stick.slight decrease in acceleration was also seen.the car has been maintained very well.
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.
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!
Update toodi 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 powerwhile at a stop sign in a mall. It took 2 attempts to restart car. I could not imaginewhat the problem could possibly be so i researched the possible problemand foundthat this honda had ignition switch problems. Ipurchased 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 dealeron 1/23/12 and told the tech what i thought the problem was. The test showed it wasindeed the ignition switch once again . The cost for replacing was $206. 36.. So, honda's recall in 2002 did notcorrect this defect.
Driving down the highway and my 1999 honda accord ex. Shuts off. The steering wheel sometimes tightens up but this last time i was able to pull over without a problem.good thing i was in the right hand lane close to the shoulder.my car has been doing this for a while and cannot figure out why. At first it would go down to a really low idle before it shut off but now it just turns off.it's even worse now that i changed the spark plugs.

There were problems with the thermostat, brakes, engine light was intermittent, overheating, squealing while driving, the windshield molding at the upper left corner of the window, thumping noise while driving, maintenance light was inoperative, steering wheel vibrated, the abs light was intermittent, and the tires were replaced early.mrscc
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 correctedthe 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 inan automatic transmission though). I was lucky a car behind me had enough space to stop.this time, i researchedthe web and noticed many owners havesimilar 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 switchfp 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 is35130-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.
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.
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 builta car with a major defect.
The consumer stated the vehicle stalled without warning. The dealer was unable to locate a problem.

Just found out today from my mechanic during an oil change that oil was leaking into my antifreeze component.as a matter of fact, my oil chamber was near-empty and my antifreeze component was black and full of oil.he also said that he had seen other cases of this in this particular make and model where the engines had to be replaced.
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.
Automatic switch was disconnected after ignition repairs, which led to inability to turn on heater and air conditioner. *la*mr
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 itwithout spending any money on maintenance.
While driving vehicle would suddenly stall without warning. Vehicle had to be put in the park gear to restart because it would crank in the neutral gear. The cause of the problem wasundetermined. Updated 5/18/09 the consumer stated the vehicle would overheat. Updated 05/20/09.
Engine would shut down while driving.this happened several times prior to breach in the engine due to a porous engine. I had to have a new2 engine put in car.
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 '!@#$%! they did another diagnostic test of 75$ 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 ?!@#$% things.they also eventually decided that i needed my fuel system cleaned, because they really didn't know what to do and this is what they said themselves!they told me they wouldn't charge me for the diagnostic fee if i got the 120$ 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 '!@#$% they didn't do.i hate honda i hate honda,, i want some ?!@#$% justice.

On monday, february 22, 2010, i was driving on the highway when the battery, abs and door lights suddenly displayed on the dashboard. The care was driving fine after this but about a mile later, the engine shut off. I noticed the drive belts had come off. Roadside assistance was contacted to tow the car to the nearest location within 15miles. Hence, the car was towed to my destination, then eventually towed to richfield-bloomington honda where they determined that the crankshaft key was installed incorrectly causing the pulley to be wobbly forcing the belts to come off while driving.brookdale honda performed the maintenance repair that has been linked to this incident since the crank shaft bolt was not tightened to the right torque. They are refusing to take responsibility for damage as a result of technician error.
While driving 50 to 60 mph the vehicles engine stalled without warning which resulted in loss of power steering.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the ignition switch, but the problemrecurred.*nlm
Crankshaft bolt appears to be sheared off.that held the pully in place which holds on the timing chain and 2 other belts. I contacted the honda corporation who was in touch with wilde hondaand was told that there is no defect with the bolt.i have spoken to many other mechanics and they have said that it is most likely due to the factory torqueing the bolt down to tight which may have caused a stress fracture. Wilde honda also said that it was due to the air intake filter being changed and the tires being worn. I find that hard to believe and have been told that ,thatis highly unlikely. Would you please check into this and let me know if there are any other cases like this. Thank you.

A banging noise from the engine and a vibration are experienced every time when i start the engine. This is a design defect, since the dealer let me test drove several new honda cars in stock and every 1999 and 2000 year new honda accord lx has this problem. This is dangerous because noise and vibration loose screws and connections for the long run. Some of thousands of screws and connections in a car may drop out some day and cause accident.

My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 accord.when i need to accelerate the car "misfires" according to the gresham honda dealership.this is where the car is being serviced.contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503-676-7070.i am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because i never know when my car will misfire.at times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms.basically, there is no acceleration.the check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates.the first two times that the car was taken to the honda dealership the check light did come on.my car is currently on it's 5th stay with honda.they(honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was.hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly.i'd hate to be the cause of an accident.equally as important, i have had a failure with my abs.while there was no accident, i barely stopped at the intersectionwhile brakes locked up on pavement.i have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above.in fact, the honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my accord.i may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number.

Re: 1999 honda accord lx (vin: [xxx])while my wife was driving in a residential area at 25-30 mph (approx), the engine started making clanking noise and engine died. She let it rolled, pulled over and parked on the side of the street. We discovered that the main pulley broke loose and the drive belts came off the rollers due to a broken (sheared off) bolt that attached the pulley to the crankshaft. The car has only 61k miles on it and i thought that it was totally premature. The ball honda service rep told us that honda motors co. Will not cover for the repair since the warranty expired, but this is totally premature i thought, and maybe it was caused by inferior material (bolt) and/or by poor quality workmanship (over-torque'd). The car has had regular maintenance service by honda dealer and has no previous engine work done except for the mfr recommended regularly-scheduled services. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The bolt holding the main crank shaft pulley came loose causing all exterior belts to come off as well as the interior timing belt, sheared the woodruff key, and warped pulley. The engine shut-off because timing was now off on engine and the pistons came up and bent some valves. Now i am out $3,000 dollars in repairs. Per mycarstats.com, there have been others with similar problems. This bolt/ design assembly came defective from manufacturer because there has never been any work related to this bolt and pulley.
Dt: contact states: the crank pulley separated from the crank. She has a 1999 honda accord. The dealer fixed it, but they didn't seem to think it was serious . Contact felt it was serious. Crank pulley broke while consumerwaspullingintogarage.
Driving down the road when the crankshaft pully fell out of the bottom of the engine,resulting in power steeering failure and engine died.the power steering went out, the altenator quit, the water pump quit.luckily i could coast into a parking lot entrance to get off of the highway.the crankshaft bolt "crystalized" and broke off inside the crankshaft.the timing belt, crankshaft pully and bolt, and the water pump had to be replaced.
I own a 1999 honda accord with 2.3l engine with 21k miles. The crankshaft pulley came loose and created internal engine damage. Honda will not claim a defect. Check complaint #'s 8013427,750032,10000253,10000370,10001199,10006874. I would appreciate any info you could send me. *nlm
After owning the vehicle for two days it broke down on the highway.vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced the battery and the alternator.on another occasion,the vehicle broke down due to an alternator bolt breaking.it wasreplaced.on a third occasion, the serpentine belt failed.currently,vehicle is at dealers shop again because it will not start.*nlm
Dt: the bolt backed out of thepulley in the engine, resultingin ruined pulley/ bent the crank shaft/loss ofpower steering/ defective alternator,andair conditioning (a/c) failure.dealership was surpride. Consumer, had to pay out of pocket for the new pulley.
Re: 1999 honda accord ex (vin: jhmcg667xxxxxxxxx). Opted not to drive on freeway that evening due to rush hour traffic, took back streets (probably would have been killed on freeway).suddenly engine started to make loud noises & engine died; lost power steering.check engine lights & all panel lights came on. Tow truck arrived, driver discovered belts came off & the pulley was broken.bolt attaching it was sheared off & broken in half, too.submitted anomaly to honda corporate (case # n012003-09-1001253)(ph # (800) 999-1009) to review case once our local honda dealer completes repairs.corporate honda offered "goodwill assistance" if case deemed valid enough for them to pay for some if not all of the costs.have not heard from them yet.honda dealership noticed pulley was also warped.they have never seen anything like this before. Reported car had 56k miles, but mistaken; should be approx. 65k.i think this is a safety issue and not just "wear & tear"; more like a design flaw or something!we have an 1987 honda with no problems & its pulley does not even wobble like it is doing now in the 1999 since it has been repaired.it's still on a trial basis for 1 week starting 9/15/2003.to continue further may cost us an add'l $3k out of pocket with no guarantees from the dealership.
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 ifyou 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.
My 1999 honda accord lx blew out an engine valve while on the highway driving 60 mph. Honda service will not accept any responsibility for the failure of the engine. At the time the carhad only 110k miles. Apparently, it is due to a defective valve design.
Engine check light keeps coming on tied in with emission control.* et
This problem effects emissions, which the government has mandated an extension on honda warranties to 8 year/ 80,000 miles. This appears to be a fairly common problem. One to which the honda corporation fails to respond. There appears to be either a faulty indication of emission problems or parts that are truly defective - wearing out before their normal life expectancy.
No summary.dt
Vehicle engine caught fire while pulling into a 7/11 parking lot. Called fire department and firewas extinguished. Damage sustained to engine compartment. Insurance declared total loss.
Continuous engine check light pointing to failures in the emissions control system. Monetary loss is becoming unacceptable.
Consumer states that after filling the gas tank, the check enging lights comes on and stays on, this occurs because gas is leaking into the spark plug,which may cause an engine fire. Consumer was informed by dealer that she has to click her cap 3 times to avoid this problem. Nlmconsumer stated that check engine light came on. Dealer diagnosed bad evaporative canister control valve and replaced the valve.
1999 honda accord v-6 egr emission defect, egr ports clogged with carbon deposits, reference nhtsa #627312, tsb 99085, honda is unwilling to pay for repairs.
1999 honda accord - engine light comes on. Dealer says need to replace catalytic converter for $1100.think this is a rip off. Believe it happens to many people.
Honda accord 1999,engine check light indicates catalytic converter failure, which is an expensive repair caused by a design flaw whereby lean fuel mixtures produce low emmissions, but also burn up the catalyst bed. The failure is systemic and happens between 80,000 and 130,000 miles. Many families cannot afford the repair and since it is not critical, it will be left unattended, which leads to environmental deterioration and the immediate risk of driving with the warning light already illuminated.
My 1999 honda accord has had the catalytic converter fail at 40,000 miles, 80,000 miles, and 126,000 miles.this appears to be a design defect, but honda and my local dealers refuse to cover the repair under warranty.
On sunday, august 7, 2005, my check engine light came on.i referred to the owner's manual and followed the instructions as written.that did not resolve the problem so i took my car to a local honda repair shop for a diagnostic test.they indicated that the catalytic converter failed and they quoted me $1100 to complete the repairs.i do not have this kind of money laying around.i also noticed that there are 8 complaints on this website regarding this same issue with the catalytic converter.how many complaints does it take before a recall is issued?not only will i have to continue driving with this problem because i can't afford to fix it, but i will be polluting the environment at the same time.i guess i need to file a complaint with the epa as well.please do something to address this problem as soon as possible.
Check engine light (code p0427) on a honda accord 1999 ex 4cyl, 4 dr.
Four years ago, i replaced the catalytic converter, and i have to replace it again.because honda has a reputation of providing the highest quality, i think it is ridiculous that the converter keeps tearing up.this is not a cheap repair.
Transmission failure at 46,000 (this was already reported to nhtsa).check engine light has come on again - this time it is the catalytic convertor and 02 sensors.
The catalytic converter was replaced three times due to deterioration. The trunk latch, timing belt, balancer belt, and the power door actuator were replaced, the parking brake was adjusted, the are rest and axle seal was replaced, the seat belt failed to retract, and the windows rattled. *ph
P0420 code - check engine light is on - catalyst efficiency below threshold - bank 1 nly 6 years old and 95,000 miles.from what i have read on many sites, this is a systematic problem with this model car and people can't afford $1100 to get the catalytic converter replaced and therfore continue to drive the car with the check engine light on, while polluting the environment and possibly overlooking other failures that may be more safety critical because of the light always being on.
Dt: the contact stated the check engine light came on.he took the vehicle to a mechanic,.they put the vehicle on a machine that indicated the catalytic converterbroke .the repairs were made to the vehicle under warranty. The indicator light came back on after the first repair.the manufacture was contacted, and stated the vehicle was no longer under warranty.no further repairs have been made.
Check engine light came on. Had the dealer check for the code which came up as p1491, egr valve issue. There is documentedrecall/note for this major design defect part, but only for 8yr/80k miles. I called american honda and asked for "good faith"/if they would pay for the repair. Am/honda refused my request. My 99 accord ex v6 has 130k miles. This is a known documented design flaw. Emission parts should last the life of the car. Had to shell out $300 for that repair. I have owned 7 other honda's plus this car. This is the first time i have had this type of issue. American honda needs to do better. I am seriously considering changing car brands, possibly switching to toyota.
This is a follow-up to a previous complaint - 10020962 from last year.low and behold, 4 months after my brake rotors were turned and repaired, the brakes started to warp again.the honda dealership would not re-repair them - they indicated that the aftermarket brake pads on the front were causing the problem (the brake pads were fine).i took my car to another facility - one that fixes and maintains race cars - they indicated that auto makers are using lighter (and less durable) parts to enhance mpg ratings - which is more likely the cause of this problem with my honda accord, as well as with other types of vehicles.the good news was that while my car was in, i was able to get the recall on the ignition switch fixed, and at the same time, they indicated that my car needs a new catalytic converter - i believe this is the same issue many honda owners are facing - "check engine" light comes on about 3-4 months into each new gas cap.i've had 4 for this vehicle (and have not lost any).i've never replaced a gas cap in my life before, just as i have never had brake rotor problems before.the only good thing i could say was that they did not charge me the diagnostic fee - given the problems i've had, i would hope not.i ended up having the o2 filter / sensor (whatever it is) replaced at another facility - which took care of a drop in mileage issue i was experiencing. The bad news for honda is that i am probably going back to toyota - i would love to have another honda if the dealership would stand behind their vehicles or make me an offer i can't refuse (with a decent trade in on this vehicle)...i'm in the market for a 2004-2005 small to med suv...i loved some aspects of my accord, but need a new, larger vehicle to haul my daughter back and forth to college.ps:since i know the rotors won't last, i'm not repairing them anymore.this is obviously a faulty design for this model.
Egr valve emissions continously clogs and no one contacted me about the recall.i spent $500 at other mechanics until i was finally told to call honda.
Transmission slippage.dealer replaced under warranty with remanufactured transmission. *mr
Emission valve has been clogged.
Vehicle is experiencing a problem with the egr valve which is clogged. The check engine light continues to keep flashing off/on since last summer.dealer informed the owner that the egr valve needed to be changed. However, the vehicle was out of warranty. This problem has not been recalled, however, a product update has been imposed. This is directed to those vehicle which came with an 80,000 miles and 8 year warranty. This vehicle is less than 6 years old, but has 95,000 miles.*sb
The "check engine" light came on within days after my 1999 honda accord ex v6 had 90k service at a honda dealership, including a fuel induction service.the first trip back to the dealer resulted in the service department recording the code in their computer then turning the indicator lamp off in my accord.the "check engine" lamp returned soon after leaving the dealership.on the 2nd visit, the dealership advised that the code indicated the egr valve was clogged.the service manager advised that honda had extended the warranty for this problem but only for 8 years/80,000 miles.my car has 92k miles yet i was never advised of this known problem.the honda dealership's own testing during the 90k service did not detect the emission problem and i see that many others with less mileage have experienced the same problem.
Honda has extended the warranty for the egr to 8 yrs due to failures.
While the consumer was driving the maintenance needed and check engine lights illuminated, the dealer stated that the egr valve was clogged, consumer is concerned due to the fact that the vehicle passed 2 emissions tests in less than a 4 month period.
Exhaust pipe runs directly under oilpan plug. Everytime oil is changed some oil comes into contact with exist pipe causing smoke.oil tends to burn off after a week or so of driving.i think this presents a potential fire hazard
Dt: the bolt backed out of thepulley in the engine, resultingin ruined pulley/ bent the crank shaft/loss ofpower steering/ defective alternator,andair conditioning (a/c) failure.dealership was surpride. Consumer, had to pay out of pocket for the new pulley.
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!
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.
Anti theft code not provided.
For the past three years, the consumer's vehicle hasn't been able to be repaired during the specific time and mileage periods.scc
My 16 year old daughter was coming home from school in the rain and was unable to stop in time to keep from rear ending another vehicle.our car sustained extreme front end damage.fortunately there were no injuries but the air bags did not deploy.the entire front end is crumpled and still the air bags did not deploy.i thought my daughter was driving a safe car.
1999 honda accord stalled without warning. Consumer states that the mechanic replaced the combination switch which was causing the vehicle to stall. Consumer believes there should be a recall.
Takata recall i had problems with getting the key to turn in the ignition.it eventually failed.i was informed by a professional that it was the key.i had the key replaced.honda tried to charge me for the key knowing that there was a recall.too, my headlights have always been very dimmed.i have bought several replacements.they still appear very dim.
While driving at night exteriorlighting failed to work.dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The consumer stated that in a prior service bulletin by honda these components are all linked to a faulty multipexor switch ( service bulletin #00-07c). In talking to honda the consumer was told the service bulletin was pertaining to exports. The consumer agreed to pay for the service to be done now the lights stay on all the time now.problem still exists.*tc
All dash lights go out on my 1999 honda accord when the headlights are turned on. A safety recall was done for this problem caused by a defected multiplex control unit on the honda accord years 2000 to 2004. Why are older accords not covered under this recall since the same defective part was installed on them?
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.
The car cuts off at any giving time the lights are dim and the electrical is malfuntioning.
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
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?
I have been rear ended at stop lights five times in this vehicle.i have been at a complete stop for each one of these.in searching for a reason for this i have realized that the 1999 honda accords have dim brake lights.i would like to know how to proceed with the manufacturer.this has caused multiple injuries and heartaches. I have not been at fault in any of these, and have never had an accident before owning this car.
Brake switch inop.the brake switch goes out requiring the manual over-ride to switch the car out of park.the problem is when the switch goes out, all of the brake lights are inoperable.this has happened three times in the last year and a half.we have owned our 1999 honda accord ex since it was new and we are now going on our fourth brake switch.this last occurence it appears to be intermitent.so i do not know for how long we have been driving with rear brake lights not working every time we use our brakes.the mileage and dates of replacement are as follows:nov200134,000 milesmay 2002 40,000 milesfeb 200353,865 miles
My 1999 honda accord's low-beam headlights quit working without notice. I will be driving and then they will just turn off. I have checked the bulbs, and the bulbs are still new. I have bought many sets of bulbs, and the problem persists. I have heard of similar problems japaneese made accords, and american civics. My accord was manufactured in japan.
- the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The right headlight was brighter than the left headlight. The contact stated that the plastic covering over the headlight was shaded with a yellow film over it, which caused the left headlight to appear dim. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The current and failure mileage were 80,000.
1999 honda accord ex coupe v6 (california)engine stalls immediately when blinker/signal lever is used, for left or right turn signal. When engine stalls, green "key" light flashes on dashboard.otherwise, failure happens randomly. Failure has occurred both while driving at 60+ mph and while vehicle is stopped.at high speeds, engine stalls and then restarts in a few seconds.has not occurred when engine was cold/not-warmed-up.failure occurred about once a month at first, but in the last three months, averages about one failure a week. Failure started happening at around 70,000 miles.car now has ~92,000 miles.car has had one owner since purchased new. Car recieves regular scheduled maintenance. Car had complete tune-up (oil/filter,spark plugs, ignition cap & rotor, ignition wires, transmission fluid (honda), air filter, fuel system cleaner, etc...) after first failure. Alternator failed and was replaced many months after "stalling/blinker" failures first occurred, and had no apparent affect on stalling problem.stalling still occurs, and have no idea what cause is.
Left turn signal intermittently fails to cancel. Visual distortion in windshield
Turn signal fails to self cancel on left turns sometimes, dealer claims this is normal:unibody so out of alignment that doors (4)do not fit properly,wind and road noise present constantly,dealer and manufacturer contacted twice, more damage done to vehicle by dealer attempting repairs.

The contacts friend owns a 1999 honda accord.while driving 60 mph, the vehicle shut off.the vehicle was pulled to the side of the road and restarted.the failure has been occurring frequently.the dealer replaced the main fuel relay switch, but the problem still persists.the engine size was unknown.the current mileage is 87,500 and failure mileage was 87,475.updated 06/08/07
Need to lubricate the seat belt buckles. Check engine light is on.filler neck is bent.need to replace fuel pipe.
Fuel gauge never read full, on a full gas tank.dealer replaced fuel sending unit, which resolved the problem.driver's side seat belt gets caught on the release lever of the seat-back while seat belt is buckled.this severely restricts the of movement of the driver.when this happens, i am strapped very tight in the seat until i can manage to remove the seat belt part that is stuck to the release lever.
1. Engine stalled at traffic light and would not restart.2. Occurred once. Had to call tow truck.3. Main fuel relay replaced.
When starting from cold in the morning, the vehicle coughs and does not accelerate when the accelerator is pressed.after some time the check engine light came up. Vehicle runs smoothly after engine warms up.mileage reduced from 29 mpg in city to 25 mpg. The mechanic said the check engine light was for "lean fuel mixture".he reset the alarm and said nothing could be done.same problem has repeated several times.mechanic says that he has seen several vehicles with this problem and honda released a kit to solve it but i'll have to buy it.honda should recall all vehicles with this problem and install the kit.
I was driving on the interstate. My car started trying to go out on me like it wasn't getting the fuel it needed or something. I was going 65mph and then also when i stop at a light it tries to idle out or it does go out.
My honda1999 barley has 79,000 on it, im second owner. I bought it when it had only 37,000 mil. On it. The car is already having transmission problems. It jerks when driving and coming to a stop, like a pop jerky feel. My cooling system had problem in 2010 oil going into my radiator. And know i have electrical problem. The car at times would go off. 79,000 i cant believe it.you would think this my car was a ford with their older modules. Known to have engine problems after 70,000. This is crazy. I have all papers from first owner, never realized till reaching the chaos of my engine. That my car as well was a recall. I have the documents.
When temperature reaches under 32f, first thing in the morning, the car was warmed up, and after driving 1/2 mile, the car shut-down and won't restart. Problem was found to be the fuel pump, according to the mechanic, he has known of at least 20 accords from the same model 98-02, with similar problems, and it all was traced to the same manufacturer who made the fuel pumps.
Car stumbles,and or hesitates since first day
1.)sometimes when i start the car the gas pedal sticks. 2.) while coming to a stop the car shuts off as if the battery died. The battery is fine. 3.)yesterday duiring the day the car would not start, acted as if it wasen't getting any fuel. The gas tank is full.after several attemps and waiting for 15-minutes the car started ok.i have serviced my car as required.
Sticking accelerator pedal in a 1999 honda accord ex sedan 4 cyl automatic.the accelerator started sticking and would result in a sudden unsafe surge when accelerating from a stop.the dealer identified the problem as a carbon build-up in the throttel body which resulted in the throttle plate sticking.

Dt*:the contact stated while attempting to move forward with steady pressure on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slowly accelerated, but lurched forward after the slow start.although the problem persisted, the vehicle was not seen by a dealer. Took vehicle to honda. Wanted to replace throttle body and clean injectors for $305.00.cost contact just to clean it, $45.00. Took it to local garage, and they cleaned the throttle body and linkage and everything was fine.
While driving at any speed and with no warningfuel tank cracked, causing fluid to leak out, and it could cause a fire. Dealer notified.
The vehicle died due to the fuel line coming off, which was due to thefaulty installation of the gas tank.the vehicle would stall on numerous occasions.the dealer could not duplicate the problem.the consumer was sent a recall of the ignition switch.scc
Fuel gauge incorrectly registers amount of fuel in tank.even when filled, gauge registers no more than 3/4 full.occasionally registers full immediately after fillup, but soon drops to 3/4 or less.
Consumer states that when vehicle's check engine light comes on the vehicle shakes. Dealer notified. Please provide additional information. Ts
Vehicle experienced seat adjuster and gas gauge problems.
The subframe, brake lines, fuel lines, and suspension, on the front passenger side, have all rusted out to the point of failure due to a poorly designed a/c drain hose. The dealer should have noticed this was a problem during any of the later service visits. Honda should take action on this dangerous situation.
Ignition some times doesn't work
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.
When sitting at a stop light for a minute or more with my right foot on the brake andthe auto trans in drive upon releasing the brake the vehicle accelerates on it's own without any pressure to the accelerator at a rapid speed.
Car turns on then once it warms up it turns off please help me fix my problem
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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that the front driver side interior door latch failed to open. The contact exited the vehicle from the front passenger side door. The dealer was notified and they informed him that the manufacturer was not responsible for the repair expense. An appointment was scheduled with an independent mechanic for the defective door latch repair where he was awaiting the arrival of the necessary parts to complete the repair. The failure mileage was 180,000.
The driver side door latch failed in the locked position with the door closed. This presented a very real safety hazard as i would not be able to exit the vehicle from the driver's side in an emergency. The repair estimate from the dealership was $1,300 for a $100 part. I went to my honda independent mechanic and paid $505.31.i am filing this complaint because of the safety hazard of this breakdown and price gouging by the dealership. It is my request that the repair work be covered under discretionary extended warranty.
I'm having problems with both the ignition and my door locks. I took my vehicle back for the recall, but i am still having problems with stalling, but moreso with the car attempting to turn off.i get flickering of all the indicator lights, and if i do not hit the gas pedal, the car shuts off completely.i also have an ongoing problem with my doors not locking from the driver's side.when i hit the lock button, all doors lock except mine. My alarm system (viper) has an automatic door lock feature but all the doors except the driver's door locks. These problems are ongoing, so it's impossible to give a correctincident date, so i'm giving the date it last happened.
Consumerwas inside of vehicle and was unable to get out on driver's side door.door locked, and would not unlock. Can hear lock mechanism in door when trying to unlock, but door will not open. Dealer contacted.
Passanger door does not lock consistantly when automatic locking system is used.it will also not unlock when system is used.it works some times and not others.i can pull up on the lock or press down to engage or disengage.this is ongoing and has been for the past month or so.
Problems with vehicle's door lock assembly.*mr(nar)dealer was notified. The consumer is requesting a full refund for labor charges acquired from failed lock assembly.
The consumer attempted to unlock the vehicle with car key on driver's side, which only unlocked that door and rear doors.passenger side did not unlock.passenger side door automatic door lock will lock all doors, but driver side automatic door lock will not unlock the doors.consumer has to manually pull up lock latch at window to open and exit vehicle on driver's side.door key used on passenger side of vehicle will unlock driver's side door and 1 rear door, inside automatic lock on passenger side locks driver's door.driver's door automatic lock doesn't seem to work at all now. *la
The passenger door will not open inside or outside.took it to the dealership they said its a known problem for honda cars to do this.
Electric malfunction for honda accord ex 1999 , door remote key does not function properly and most of the time key less entry does not work for all the doors. I took car for regular service at honda dealer in richmond va, and i asked the service man to fix the door lock problem because the remote key door lock is not working properly and i have to press the door lock nob(s) to lock the door after investigation honda dealer service man not able to find or locate the problem and honda charge me $40 for just to investigate the problem i can understand he spend his time, this is alright for me. But later on honda service man called me that i need to investigate it more and that will cost $120 more and at that time he had no knowledge of what is worng with the door(s) lock problem. I asked him what is your finding about the door lock problem. He said it may be because mouse may have cut the electric wires for the door lock , by the way i notice this problem iowa and it was freezing cold in jan-feb how come a mouse go inside the door and servive and i had open parking in iowa. I think this is some faulty workman ship at honda or the equipment is faulty which control the door lock. Now pressing the door lock button does not close all the doors so i have to press the door nob to close the door. My family used to say they get static electric shock sometimes when the get out of the car and they close the door(s).i have one extra problem now earlier it was only door lock problem now security light on driver side door stop coming on. *la

The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 mph, the rpms increased to 5,000 as the vehicle made a jerking motion and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and the rpms returned to normal, however, the failure recurred. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 185,000. The vin was not available.
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.
Drove car 70mph. The gear down shifted to 55. Can't get past 55.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that the transmission recurringly failed. Initially, the torque converter solenoid circuit failed and the transmission was replaced. The contact was driving 30 mph when the vehicle lost acceleration power and the transmission failed again. The transmission was replaced a second time at 46,000 miles but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 151,029.
Transmission failure.
I have 91,000 miles on my honda accord lx 99 year model. I have maintained it very well with regular check ups and services.transmission on my car behaves so erratic and its beyond my control. It suddenly stops in middle of drive and i am afraid of someone hitting me from behind because of this nature of my car.
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.
The vehicle is unsafe to drive as the sub frame is rusted due to the air conditioner drain. Engine runs great but the design is flawed.
Noise in the right axle in the transmission
Failed transmission.
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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 80 mph when his knee haphazardly struck the gear selector, causing the gear to shift from drive into neutral. The gear shifter lever control was not engaged during the time of the unintended failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact planned to notify the manufacturer of the malfunction. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that there was a random failure with the park interlock function and the vehicle stalled several times without warning. In addition, the vehicle failed to restart and shifted in and out of park several times. The vehicle was to be inspected and diagnosed by a dealer and independent mechanic. The manufacturer indicated that there was no recall to address the issue. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
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?
The speedometer reads a little over 8 percent higher than the actual speed that is being traveled. Dealer says it's normal for vehicle to be at least 10 percent faster than what the speedometer reads.
I bought this car new in 1999 while working as a salesman for a honda dealership.its always been wellmaintained as it is the only transportation i have.i no longer work at the dealership but my little boy needsa way to get to various activities as well as school.we depend on this machine and hondas reputation toget 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 ownersof 1999-2002 accords had the same problems or worst.some with only 50000 miles had to be replaced.i'mpretty sure this is an american honda deal as the japanese people would back up their products.onceagain 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 internetand carrier pidgeon about american honda and their lack of ethics.what goes around comes around!
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated while driving at 60 mph, the rpm revved up and jerked with the transmission warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact drove the vehicle to the residence. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be inspected. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be repaired or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
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 hondathey will not help ( 168000miles on car ).
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 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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle would not engage in any gear. In addition, the front end of the vehicle would shake when the vehicle was started, but the vehicle could not be driven.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the transmission needed to be replaced.

On 03/19/20016 i was on my way to work and out of now wherei stop at a red light and i tried to take off i had to hit the gas peddle before the car would move.i made it to work and i took into a mechanic that same night and he informed me that i may need a new transmission.
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:$1516.30second 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).
Leaking transmission fluid, transmission slips and won't really engage at times. When i stop my car my it startsstutters and then it jerks while accelerating. My transmission pops in and out of gear.check engine light is on. When i turn the corner my car basically stops. I have 2 codes on my vehiclep0740the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in d4, by the transmission control module (tcm) in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed and the engine control module (ecm). Lock-up piston operation will then be controlled. When the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, the torque converter lockup clutch will engage creating a 1 to 1 rpm ratio between the transmission input shaft and the rotational speed of the torque converter.lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when a/t fluid temperature is too low.when the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.then the other is p0700 the transmission control module (tcm) monitors the malfunction of sensors and actuators relating to transmission control. When the tcm detects a malfunction with the control, a signal is send to the engine control module (ecm) to trigger the engine light or service engine soon light. The ecm stores the p0700 code and it means the tcm detected a malfunction with the transmission controls.
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.
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.
The transmission failed, which caused the vehicle not to accelerate.
Speedometer is off by 10 percent.
Failed transmission.
Cars just shuts off while driving losing all power. Was a recall on the ignition switch but it was replaced.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord.while driving less than 70 mph, the vehicle would lose power.all of the instrument panel lights flashed on and off and the vehicle shut off completely.the vehicle then restarted by itself.the failure occurred twice a week and has not been remedied.the failure and current mileages were 149,000.
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.
Transmission on my 1999 honda accord lx has been slipping for quite some times.i am the second owner, having bought the car from the company i worked for.perfectly maintained, with mainly highway miles.my transmission is now out completely; when it went out, my 4 year old son and i had to drive back home, in reverse.now i am stranded at my home in the country, 20 miles from town. I am a single father and i now have to rely on my parents to take me places as i currently cannot afford to pay $4-$5k to replace my transmission.i don't understand why the recall was only done to the year 2000 vehicles when it is very obvious that the problem was prevelant in the 1999 models as well.
Transmission out '1999 accord.
The transmissionwas skippingsecondgear and would not reverse up a hill. Less than one year agotransmission was doing the same thing, and had to be replaced.a year later, the transmission was experiencing the same defect.consumer learned there was a recall for the 2000 and 2001 accords but not 1999. Consumer reported both incidents to nhtsa in case there's a recall issued for his model year vehicle.*ph *nlm
1999 honda accord v-6, 90k miles. In july, 2005.i started noticing a whistling sound when the engine was on and the abs and other dash lights would come on and off sporadically.during normal maintenance, i inquired about the noise and dash light problem.nothing was found wrong.the dash lights have been coming on and off ever since.today when the car was cranked, it made a louder than normal whistling sound.after driving if for 1/2 a mile the noise stopped.the next time i drove the car, it stopped accelerating and acted as though it was going to cut off. I parked it and attempted to crank it again but the battery was dead.after recharging the battery, it still could not accelerate.i had it towed to the honda dealership.after inspection, i was told that the transmission would have to be replaced. After researching the internet, i realized that many others with 99 accords have experienced the same problems. Considering this is the 3rd honda i have purchased (the transmission had to be replaced on my 93 honda also) it appears to be a problem that needs to be addressed.
While driving vehicle lurched forward, andstalled three times.engine check warning indicator lightilluminated.vehicle was taken to the dealer three times. Starter was replaced, and the dealer performed a valve job.also,dealerrecommended replacing the automatic transmission with a rebuilt transmission.
Car pauses that surges forward wile driving esp at lower speeds due to defective transmission.
Transmission leaks.dt
Transmission making grinding noise and having trouble with gears and engine rpm.honda dealer admits it's transmission problem. Milage is only 37500 miles on.very serious problem and public safety. Should recall or extend warranty.
At 92 k miles, the alternator broke down and the transmission started slipping, the car jumps forward on the second shift. Dealer advise to replace transmission.
Experienced extremely hard shifting at 40 mph. The engine would rev, die down, and then suddenly jerk into gear. From day-one have expeienced ackward shift from 2-3.at time of each recommended service requested staff address issue. Typical response that how car ws design. Now at 52,000 miles need to replace transmission. Honda of american is doing a 50/50 spilt of the cost to replace transmission.dealers price to repair was $5300. Honda of america price approximately $2400 , half paid by consumer.
I was driving back from sf to our home in santa rosa, and i noticed smoke streaming from the top of the steering column. Then the odometer dropped from 65 to 0, went back to 65, then fluctuated. As 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 engine did not start when the tow truck driver tried it, although it cranked.the car was towed to marin honda. They tested and found the electrical portion of the ignition switch had failed.they replaced it but at the same time the d4(trans gear selection)light began to flash. The service advisor said that it's a completely different problem, and that we should take the car back to the mechanic who replaced the trans fluid 7 weeks ago.(my wife told the customer service advisor that we had the trans work done a couple of months ago when it fact it was just changing fluid as part of regular maintenance). Marin honda charged us $205 for the replacement of ignition switch. The d4 starts flashing when the engine is started and shift to any one of gears. And it makes a big clunk and the whole car shakes when the gear is shifted to reverse or drive. I called marin honda cust advisor and told him it must be related to ignition switch replacement, but he's adamant that it has nothing to do with it.when we checked your website and looked under "recall" for 1999 accord, we found it had ignition sw recalls in three different years, 2002, 2003, and 2005. Ignition switch(2002), cylinder wear, collar, plate latch(2003), interlock function(2005). Could trans range sensor ckt malfunction be caused by heat from the ignition wiring burning out?
When vehicle is facing down hill , and you put in reverse it goes forward .i spoke to the service advisor he said it was normal.i personally do not think its normal .i have an `89 ford tempo as old as it is it does not roll downhill when in reverse and facing downhill.i have come close to hitting my garage door because of that. Also when putting in gear in any kind of land level it cracks and makes noises. Tires vibrate ,front onesalso on the highway it strays to the right a lot . I`ve checked air pressure on tires to make sure that did not cause the pulling to the right, and it was not that .air pressure is lost a lot also ,every 2-3 weeks air in front tires goes down approximateley 4-6 pounds, and rears go down 2-3 puonds.i have to check air pressure on a weekly bases .( dot number: tire size: p195/65r15 )
The automatic transmission on my 6 cylinder 1999 honda accord failed at around one hundred thousand miles even with scheduled fluid replacement.i was told by honda of america that 2000-2002 accords with the same problem were covered under an extended warranty but that my car did not meet the criteria.transmission had to be completely re-built at my expense.
While driving at 36 mph, the vehicle suddenly jerked forward, followed by a metal to metal noise. The driver coasted the vehicle to a stop, then had the vehicle towed to a dealership.the dealership flushed the transmission because the fluid was burnt, but the metal noise was still present.a diagnostic test was performed.thefront pump was found to bethe main cause of the failure. Excessive metal was also found in transmission pan as well as fluid and the forward drum was damaged. Are manufactured transmission with a torque converter was installed.no recall pertaining to this vehicle found. *tc
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 20 mph, the vehicle jerked when shifted into reverse or 1st gear.the transmission slipped between 3rd and 4th gears and transmission fluid was seen on the driveway.the vehicle was inspected by an independent service dealer, then by the service dealer, who determined the transmission needed replacement.the service dealer replaced the transmission and the manufacturer was notified.
Transmission service on 1999 honda accord coupe with 38,000 miles. Trans. Downshifts roughly from second to first. First attempt to fix by dealer july 5, 2003. Problem seemed to improve.

1999 honda accord ex v6 automatic transmission issue. Vehicle purchased sept 2000 with approx 15k miles. Vehicle began having problems with the transmission not engaging after throttle had been pressed at approx 42k miles. Bad hesitation, and on an almost daily basis. Press on the gas, the engine revs, but vehicle barely moves and when it does engage it is very harsh. Dangerous trying to enter freeways, pass other vehicles or cross streets/intersections. The basic honda warranty of only 3/yr 36k miles had already lapsed. Transmission fluid had been changed in aug 2002 with 31k miles. Again changed(drain/fill) in june 2004 with 46k miles and again in sept 2006 with 61k miles. Honda transmission fluid used.
While pulling out into a roadway at a hurried pace to avoid oncoming traffic, my '99 accord would not accelerate and the rpm's just increased. An oncoming vehicle noticed that i was not getting out of the way and slammed on his brakes. Fortunately, before an impact occured, my honda violently slammed into gear and i got out of the way of the other vehicle, but the acceleration was so sudden i was not able to turn.the accord impacted the curb, causing tire and rim damage.the transmission is progressively getting worse and i am dismayed to find that honda knows the transmission is defective, yet will do nothing to help '99 owners.honda needs to recall all these transmissions, not just the 2000/01 because they are a threat to driver safety (as i have experienced).i have always liked honda's cars but may consider another vehicle if honda allows their bottom line to endanger customer safety. *la
The transmission failed, due to a defect with the gear bearing.*scc

Car won't start and maintenance light came on.tow it to a honda dealership found to the transmission's fault.honda won't cover it under their recalls for 2000 models, because it is a 1999 model.
The transmission in my 1999 honda accord ex v-6 failed on february 26, 2004.the car has 66,800 miles on it.it does not make sense to me why there has not been an extended warranty implemented on this model year as there has been on the 2000-2001 accord and the '99-'01 odyssey.after speaking with the shop foreman at my honda dealer and him revealing to me that they perform approximately 3-5 transmission replacements each week on the honda accord('98-'01), i thought it highly suspect that nothing has been done to rectify the prolem to other years in this model.

I have a 1999 honda accord ex v-6 thati have taken to the service dept for maintenance by the book. Today i found out my transmission has failed and it will cost $4200 to repair. I have read the emails of hondas with the same problem. Why is there no recall for thetransmissions? i did everything according to honda and now my beloved vehicle has failed me. I have been a true honda person. This is my third honda.
Started seeing transmission fluid on lt side under vehicle. Had seal replaced by local trans ship. Two weeks later fluid leaking again. Researched and found recall on 2000 and up for bad bearing causing this exact problem and honda's extended warranty on those vehicles. Took vehicle to rt.23 honda and they advised that even though this was the same problem the only item that the honda field service manager would only allow the part only. I would have to pay the $1000 labor. I requested the field manager's name but brad morder (service writer at rt.23 honda) refused to give it to me. I lodged a complaint with honda (case #12006-04-250-0809)that was handled by chris martinez of honda (x-118183) who stated that he did not want to discuss the particulars and that he had no authority to change the decision of the field manager. Again, when i asked for the name of the field manager mr. Martinez would not give it to me. When i asked him for his superior's name so that i could escalate this matter, he advised that his decision was final and there was no other recourse i could take. Any help you could furnish would be appreciated. C. O. Heine.

1999 honda accord v-6 automatic transmission failed at 51,000 miles.this appears to be common for this model car.i believe honda should order a recall for this transmission or offer to extend the warranty from the current 36,000 miles.*la
Consumer states transmission is defective. Ph
Since first purchased this 99 accord has been to the shop on 5 different occasions for hard shifting into 1st and 2nd.was told by honda mechanic that was how it was supposed to shift.still having troubles with slipping, and hard shifting and occasionally down shifting when going 70mph, car will whine loudly and you can feel the transmission down shift.was told i needed to replace transmission.
I have repaired my transmission twice now and its in my garage now it needs a transmission again i have changed all sensors egr o2sensor this last time was different i was driving at a normal speed then suddenly i got a hard jerk and i knew my transmission was going bad again in 2005 when my transmission went i called honda to see if my 99 accord v6 coupe was one that was on the recall after taking my vin number they said it wasn't but if im having the same problem like everyone is why im not getting the replacement.
99 honda accord transmission failed. No warning from dash board. Can't speed up on the road.
I first noticed a difference in my 99 accord coupe v6 transmission when it was cold out.the car jerked between 1st and 2nd gear.it ran fine once the car warmed up.when i called honda to ask about the issue, i was told older cars do that and it was nothing to worry about.about a month and a half later the transmission started jerking between 3rd and 4th when below 40 mph. My car then would not leave a stopped position until hitting at least 2500 rpm's then it kicked into gear. I took my car to my local honda dealership - they flushed the transmission fluid - charged me $85 and on a side note on the bill they stated "transmission needs replacement - internal damage".they did not talk to me about this nor did they offer to repair this at a charge.when i purchased my car i bought the 100,000 mile extended warranty, which i paid close to $1500 for.honda realized there was an issue and extended the 100,000 mile warranty automatically for the 2000-2002 models.i had approximately 108,000 miles on my car when i took it to honda for this issue.after dealing with honda customer care for over 3 weeks i got nothing but a run around from them.i was told to call the company that handles the extended warranty service, this company told me they were not sure why hcc referred me to them b/c it was hcc decision of how they wanted to handle my case.in the end honda did nothing for me.i took my car to a transmission shop; after they tore down the transmission they found extensive damage.i was told that the 2nd gear thruster barring had fallen into the pump which destroyed it,2nd gear was completely destroyed, the electrical cylinder was damaged beyond repair, and the remaining 3 gear thruster bearings had also fallen out.in the end it cost me over $3000 ($2000 in parts alone) and almost 2 months to repair the damage to my transmission.*la
1999 honda accord, ex v6, 79k miles, beautifully maintained and only serviced by honda dealerships.original owner was my father (philip garraffa) who leased the vehicle; i purchased the car and the end of the lease - i know it has been taken care of and has never been subjected to excess wear and tear. At times while driving (stepping on the gas), the engine will 'rev', car will not move into gear, then all of a sudden will slam into gear and jerk forward.thankfully this has happened at lower speeds, but this is very dangerous, especially if this were to happen at a higher speed.
1999 honda accord v6 transmission needing to be rebuilt at only 87k miles.this was due to the trans slipping and shifting erratically.the exact same problem as listed with the 2000-2001 models.*nlm
1999 honda accord, transmission failed after only 59,000 miles! engine light came on only 5 miles before i took it to authorized honda dealer who deemed it unsafe to drive! i do not have all the service records but i know i did take it for every single service suggested in the manual. Not only does honda know about this problem (it extended the warranty on 2000 and 2001 models, which are identical to the 1999) but just in my small town alone i personally know of 2 other people who had the same problem!after much pressing, honda agreed to pay for less than a third of the $5000.00 cost of new transmission big deal! also they refused to pay for my rental (now going on 2 weeks)....it took them over w eek to respond to my complaint leaving me either driving an unsafe (in their words) car or renting 1!*la

Fax petition for nhtsa to reopen its investigation into the ignition interlock defects on 1999-2001 honda accords pursuant to 49 cfr 552.4while parked the vehicle rolled backwards.

I have a 1999 honda accord v6 ex sedan. It currently has approximately 56,000 miles on it, and much to my surprise the vehicle has required a new transmission @ 55,000. Apparently this is a common problem with this vehicle and is mentioned on many internet forums. The cost of replacing this tranmission is rather substantial. The 00-01 models have an extended warranty from honda on the transmission for 7 years and 100,000 miles, but for some reason the 1998-1999 models were left out even though they were the same generation vehicles. I almost got rear ended a few times due to transmission slippage. I hope some action can be taken to have the warranty extended to include the 1998 to 1999 honda also.
Dear sir / madam -honda in usa has intentionallydropped a large number of vehiclesfrom its list of recalls/ fix neededto save the costs and maximize theirprofits.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 saidits 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 ?[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The transmission was slipping.the gears were defective and the fluid was discolored.
Transmission slippage.dealer replaced under warranty with remanufactured transmission. *mr
Engine shifts down when accelerating from a slow stop.feels like it is going to stall but if you continue to remain on the gas it lurches. It's like the transmission down shifts before acceleration.
A few weeks ago i was driving and my transmission started to shift erratically through 1st,2nd,and 3rd without a change in speed. Later that same day the transmission would not shift into the following gear resulting in the rpm's to increase follow by it jamming it into gear. The car must no be replaced with a used or new transmission and i was quoted $3000+ to get this done. After alot of reading around and investigating this problem i have learned that this is very common and the 00-01 accords have a recall for the exact same transmission. My car has 155k miles on it but i have all the service records and car has been very well maintained. I just think it is outrageous that there is no way for honda to split the cost at the least.
Car pauses then surges forward wile accelerating at lower speeds due to defective transmission, problem is constant - happens everytime.
Transmission slips when shifting between 1-2 and 2-3 gearscheck engine light came on reporting "po740 - torque converter clutch circuit error".
I bought my 99 honda accord on june 28, 2003 for 16,000$ 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!
My transmission locked at 65 mphalmost causing an accident. I took my 99 accord to the dealership , theysaid it needs a new transmission that would cost $2500, which now has to pay out my pocket .the honda has only 93k. My mother in laws taurus has 140000, and is still running fine.it's a 1997.how does a 1997 taurus outlast a 1999 accord?if this is the case that i have to now worry about when i buy a honda, theni mind as well invest in a toyota camry in the future.
Honda accord 99', transmission failure at 60,000 miles.other years (98) have had warranty extended due to design failure, but not the 99.99 should be included!
Consumer stated vehicle has only 67000 miles and the automatic transmissionbroke. Dealer notified.
While driving at any speed check engine light appeared on the dashboard.then , vehicle would start jerking. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, andmechanic determined that transmissionfailed.
Today i have 88000 miles on my 1999 honda accord v6 coupe.i am currently on my third transmission.the first time, my car was driving very rough at around 23000 mi.every time i would accelerate, when my car shifted from first to second gear, the car would give a strong jerk, one that was strong enough to shake the coins in the coin holder.i took the car to honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not diagnose any problems.around 30000 miles, my transmission would not shift out of second gear.i took it back to honda and they replaced it with out any problem.later, around 60000 miles, my transmission lost all forward driving gears.keep in mind this is the second transmission.i had it towed to a gas station, and called honda, only to hear, the car is out of warranty.the decision was made to get the work done at thegas station.they acquired a new transmission from honda to be placed into my car.tonight, that transmission is now without first and third gears.the car wont shift either.the car needs to be placed in second gear, and shifted to third manually for it to function.if it is started in 1,d3,or d4 it will start in second gear and stay in it.i have 90000 mi on my car today.this seems to occur every 30000 mi or so.
Have been having transmission problems and am seeing a trend to others having similar problems. The dealer quoted $8000 new or $3327 for used. I don't think we should be having transmission problems on a car that is 3 years old. Anyone else having problems? *ph
1999 honda accord v6 - the transmission slips and will not engage in gear.when it first started to happen, the car would rev up to high rpm's and then engage.now the only way to drive is put in 2nd gear.it will not shift into 3rd or 4th at all. Accords from 2000 - 2004 have been recalled for transmission problems.the 1999 should also be recalled.this problem could have resulted in an accident while traveling on highway!
1999 honda accord lx, car has 100,000 miles and the transmission is gone. I was advised by the dealer that it will cost $5500 to replace. This is unheard of with a honda. After doing research on the internet i found many complaints about honda's transmission and it isn't just the accord, it is several other models. What is going to be done about this? *la
Automatic transmission failed and had to be replaced. The transmission would not downshift when accelerating from a stop. Then it would lunge forward and eventually engage the correct gear after several attemps.
Consumer stated the transmission gears shifted hard, the dealer informed consumer of apotential transmission problem. Ts
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 theregular 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 helpand 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.
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.
Vehicle experiencing stumbling of the engine / transmission.
Got a car tune-up done by a honda dealership.the gears shifted a lttle different but i attributed it to the tune-up.itprogressively 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???
Car was sluggish when backing up.would have to rev engine to get it to back up.dealer said transmission was gone and would have to be replaced. Mr
Complete failure of automatic transmission in 1999 honda accord ex 3.0 coupe with only 70,000 miles.
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.
Transmission slips horribly; gears are all screwed up; torque convert clutch circuit malfunction ; almost got hit by an 18 wheeler when crossing an intersection; was told that it is a very common problem in 1999 v6 accords.engine error code: p0740
I noticed transmission leaking from my 1999 honda accord ex at about 78,000 miles.i also noticed that my transmission was slipping and not changing gears at the proper times.thus, i took my car to a transmission repair shop and was advised that my seals and axels had to be replaced.to get a second opinion, i took it to a meineke shop who advised that my axels were fine and that i needed a transmission technician because my problem was greater than i imagine.i contacted a technician in the area and he assessed the situation.the technician advised that the problem was that the behrings on the vehicle were poorly manufactured and thus were causing leakage and slippage.he offered literature on this particular problem which helped me understand.his solution was to completely rebuild the entire transmission but that was a cost that i could not even fathom to bear.this led me to contact a transmission repair technician that i had previously consulted with when i was faced with transmission issues with my 1988 honda accord.this technician diagnosed the car with the same problem as the previous transmission technician.he cautioned that honda accords built in between 1998 and after had those faulty parts in the transmission, thus causing the same problems i was describing.i had to other alternative than to trust this technician with the repair of my transmission since i had previously dealt with him.he was honest and straightforward from the start.as a result, i have had to pay for the repair of the transmission, including new parts; i have had to rent a car in the interim; and i have not been able to obtain any type of answers as to why this happens or why there has not been a recall.the technician has granted me the favor of keeping the old parts and will provide me with an itemized bill for his services, including any parts ordered for the repair/refurbishing of the transmission.
As the transmission locked while driving at 60 mph, my car was turned to idel and almost causing an accident. I took my 99 accord v6 to the dealership , they said that a new transmission to be replaced, which would cost $5200 and paying out my pocket .my major concern was safety for those driving this type of car.
Yellow check engine light is on.transmission torque converter clutch is causing severe chattering and/or lurching when starting up or at low speed.car is near stall and is vulnerable to an accident especially at intersections after a stop.car has only 83,000 miles.

1999 honda accord failed transmission.no transportation for a month dealer estimate for repair $4000.00. I feel this is not fair honda recalledevery year of this same model after my car.there need to be so just or a class action suit.
While driving at 30 mph automatic transmission failed. Consumer stated thatmany1999 honda accords had transmission failures at 60000 miles.
1999 honda accord needed transmission replaced at 40,000 and now is having problems again at 46,000 miles.a replacement is needed.car is slow to move in 1st and does not shift properly.hard to get moving with traffic and is dangerous when fast acceleration is needed in traffic. *la
Poorly made transmission in 6th generation accords , honda should do something about it.
1999 honda accord ex.transmission.car jerks forward, losses power, accelerates.thousands of complaints on the internet, why no recall?there is a defect in the manufacturing yet nothing is done!!why can a car manufacturer get away with installing defect parts which are a safety hazard and the nhtsa does nothing about it!!
Transmission failed at 63,000 on freeway.*la
Intermittently, the transmission is slow to engage from reverse to drive. Also the transmission will slip while up shifiting, causing the car to stall and then jerk into gear. When down shifiting, the car would stall when shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear.the dealer states that the transmission is defecvtive and needs to be replaced.honda has extended the warranties on the 2000/01 model years which have thesame v6 automatic transmission, but not on the 99 hondas.
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.
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!
I am writing to express dissatisfaction with my 1999 honda accord ex v6,[xxx].about a week ago my check engine light came on.i checked the code and it indicated torque converter clutch malfunction. The car was shifting and driving fine, so i brought it in to the honda dealer to get the transmission fluid changed.i cleared the error, but it came right back on.the car was shifting and driving fine. Today on my way to work at 75 mph at highway speeds, it shifted in to second and stayed there.you can imagine what that did to rpms!now it won't go in to reverse or any other forward gear but second. I called my honda dealer and they said i'm looking at a transmission replacement.$2950 just for the parts (doesn't include labor).that comes with a 36,000 mile warranty that i will easily use up in one year due to my long commute. Being that the car has 136,000 miles on it, i figured it was highly regrettable, but understandable.until i started looking online!i suggest you check out this thread!http://www.autofan.com/forum_thread.asp?message=3625this appears to be very widespread.there are people on that post with 72,000 miles and three dealer replacements, some with six dealer replacements.my big worry now, after reading so many other experiences, is that i'll replace the transmission and be buying another $3000 transmission a year later.

Transmission shifts out of gear intermittiently.
I have 1999 honda accord coupe ex v6. My tranny went at 66'000 miles. From what i have read on the internet an excessive amount of people are having the same problems. I have called honda and they said there is no recall on 99 accord transmissions but there is an extension on 2000/2001 transmissions for 7 years 100'00 miles. I am very upset and hope there is a recall on these transmissions....or at least compensate for the $3000 i spent to pay for a new transmission. Thank you
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.

Power train: automatic transmission - accord 1999 ex-v6transmission shifts hard and sometimes it even slips (pauses when shifting gear).suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.
I bought a honda accord from crown auto in oxnard california in april of 2005. Four months later my transmission gave out and it was replaced in august of 2005 , now it is february and my transmission is giving out .
While driving the vehicle a mechanical bearing sound comes from the transmission. When taking to the dealership, owner was told that the transmission needed to be replaced.
Transmission will not shift properly into gear, it was slow in shifting. When ever this happens,engine would rev up. Had been to the dealership 3 times for transmission problem. Was informed by mechanic that a new transmission is required, even though was told its repairable.
One day while driving down a busy 3 lane highway my honda would not go forward any more. No matter how hard i pressed the gas it would no longer accelerate.i could put the car in neutral or reverse, but in drive i could not get it to go above 10 mph.i immediately recognized that it was the transmission and took it to a transmission place who told me honda has an extended warranty for 98-2000 accords under 100,000 miles, and they will replace your transmission.since my car only had 80,000 miles, i called the service station, made an appointment and told them that it was the transmission.they told me okay, but therewould be a $95 fee if it wasn't the transmission.they called me later that day, and said my vin# didn't match the recall,so sorry.i called american honda, and they said i should not have been given that information, and there was nothing they could do.i stated so what you are telling me is that in 98,99 & 00, you put bad transmissions in your accords, i have a bad transmission in my accord, but i'm not covered??? to which they replied yes.

Noticed lurching and trasnmission slipping.the car was having difficulty changing gears.next day i had car checked out was advised that transmission fluid was black( burnt) and the motor mount was also weak.the following day i took the car to ed voyles honda for my 45,000 mile/3 yr service.i was then advised by service advisor, jim vartiak, that large metal pieces came out when the trasnmission fluid was being drianed and was a sign of deterioration of the trasnmission.after my service on 10-28-02 i went to work.on my commute back, i heard a loud noise and then the check engine light came on while i was on the expressway.the vehicle was not accelerating well, the gears were not shifting.when i got to my destination i noticed that i was parked .when i put the car in reverse the engine had to be reved up to make the slightest move.it took several minutes to move three feet.the next morning, 10-30-02, the car was driving about 40 mph then sudddenly dropped to 10 mph during a busy hour approx. 7:30 am.at times the honda accord would not even move at all and then it would suddenly jot out.i made it home, but the car is completely immoble the transmission is gone.the worst part is there was no help offered for a resolution.i have made calls and also written to america honda motor co., inc, but i have not yet recieved any response from my.

At 99k miles the transmission started slipping. The car jumps forward on the second shift. Dealer advises to replace transmission cost $3800.
1999 honda accord transmission failurethe transmission is hesitating at shift points and shifts harshly when finally shifts.i brought my car into my local dealer who determined the transmission is in need of replacement at a cost of $4280.00. I have since contacted honda's customer service. They have agreed to cover the cost of the transmission but expect me to cover the cost of labor, totaling $863.00. In my research i have found that honda motor corp.has extended the warranties on five models of vehicles built from 2000 thru 2002 but not 1999 year.
Intermittent stalling due to ignition switch failure. Also replaced transmission.
The automatic transmission does not shift correctly.the problem i am having is that the engine speeds up and then the transmission shift into gear.the causes the tires to break loose causing the car to loose traction and when the tires regain their grip on the road the car darts out into traffic.
Accord 1999 ex-v6 transmission sometimes shifts hard and 4th gear slips and shudders, also unexpected harsh downshifts or erratic shifting. Suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.

1.transmission fluid started leaking on 99 accord ex with >92100 miles.eskridge honda tightened boxton bolt. Leaking got worst.took car back 2 days later.eskridge stated a new transmission would be required because the inspection revealed that it was the same transmission problems experienced by other models -- 00-0 models where honda usa provided an extended warranty to replace those transmissions. 2.from my research, other consumers have been experiencing similar transmission problems on their 99 hondas, but there's been no recalls.3.since i view it as a safety issue, i plan to pay if necessary to replace it, since i don't want my 16-yr son driving an unsafe vehicle.4. Is nhsta aware of this problem on the 99 hondas?if so, what's the status of your actions in getting honda usa to extend the warranty for 99 hondas.
I have a 1999 honda accord lx 4 door sedan with 71,000 miles on it.the check engine light came on, and the dealer says the p0740 code is torque converter clutch assembly failureis a $2900 replace the transmission job.a transmission shop told me the same thing.a transmission with 71,000 miles, even 7 years old, should not go out!!!! there was a honda transmission class action suit covering only 2000-2003 trannys, my model year is excluded but same problem exists !!!!!
I purchased my 1999 honda accord ex-vl 3.0l v6... May 1999. There has been a slight jerk when the transmission shifted gears from day one. Honda says this is normal. Well several months ago it started to get worse and the transmission started leaking fluid at the left cv boot. I took it into the honda dealer and i was told that there is a roller bearing that is wearing out prematurely causing a slight vibration that causes the seal to leak. They said i needed a new transmission and it would cost $5,500 ++ to replace because it was no longer under warranty. (3 years or 30k miles) i have owned a honda for 17 years. I have a 1986 with over 250,000 miles and still going strong. I purchased this 1999 based on the hondas past history of quality. This may be the end of honda ownership for me if they don't replace this defective transmission.i have searched the internet and was overwhelmed at so many 1999 honda accords that have the same problem. I think honda should replace all of their defective transmission and save there good name. Honda should extend the 1999 honda accord warranty to 7 years or100k to cover there defective product!hey did extended the 2000-2001...but not the 1999 ??? why... It's the very same transmission!
While driving, the automatic transmission does not shift properly.dealer has been notified.the vehicle sometimes shifts gears on its own without the changing of speeds.other times while accelerating into traffic (at a stop light or merging) the vehicle will slip into neutral and will redline but not shift into gear.*scc
Transmission failure - 1999 accord ex in mint condition, perfect maintenance records and the transmission begins to fail ,out of the blue, at 71,000 miles. The car shifts and lurches in 1st, 2nd and third gear. Also, noticable loss of overall power or torque in the cars performance. This is my third accord and first automatic. Honda will only pay for part of the repair. I hope by writing this i help others with the same problem. I am being forced to negotiate the repair cost with the local honda dealership. I am asking free parts, free labor and free rental car. They came back with a reduced cost of $1200 dollars and no mention of the rental car. I am really disappointed in honda, i am a loyal customer and promoter of the brand name. I expect restution if they finally recall this position.
Transmission fails to downshift properly.honda fails to acknowledge their mistake, and its unfortunate that consumers like myself should pay for their mistake.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord.when accelerating from a stop, the vehicle speeds forward.the dealer stated that the transmission is slipping and needs to be replaced.the manufacturer stated that they will replace the transmission free of charge, but the contact would be responsible for the labor.the engine size was unknown.the current mileage is 83,000 and failure mileage was 60,000.
Within the first year of owning my accord v6, my transmission sensor blew out.that was the only thing covered under warranty.i repeatedly expressed concerns to the dealership that there was something with my transmission.it would thump and lurch the car forward or hesitate between gears.repeatedly they assured me this was normal.like everyone who buys a honda, i thought hondas are built to last so maybe this is normal.the fix-it was to flush my systems on numerous occassions.which by the way, made things worse.i had to manually shift an automatic.such irony.now the vehicle only engages 2nd gear.i have been fighting honda with this for 9 months now.
The transmission jumped and accelerated over 45 miles per hour. Check engine light came on, and then i was told that i needed a newtransmission.
Every time i would accelerate,my car would stall then the car would give a strong jerk.i took the car to honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not diagnose any problems. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models.after repeated attempts at the dealership, they offered to replace transmissionfora ridiculous charge of ~$ 5,000 since my warranty period had passed.why does honda issue a recall on the 2000+ models and not any other ones. This defective component poses a serious threat for my children and me.
99 accourd v6 transmission grinds, slips and clunks.all maint done within schedule.manyunits in similar situation.product is defective.recall done on 2000-2001, however 1999 is also widely effected by the problem as well.
The transmission is slipping on a 1999 honda accord 2 door.there is severe jerky motion between shifts.also while slowing down and trying to accelerate again the car lunges forward violently with what seems to be double gear shift.my family owns the 4 door version of the car also, which does not have such symptoms.out of 7 people i know who also owns the accord, 3 people have such problems.the problem persists to date.honda claims that since it does not occur with "many" of production cars, it will not issue a recall!this is outrageous!
My 1999 honda accord was at howdy honda on 6/26/2002 for trouble with hard, jerky shifting at 20 mph. Was informed that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced but everything was alright.on 7/31/2002, experienced extremely hard shifting at 40 mph.the engine would rev, die down, and then suddenly jerk into gear.this continued to happen until taken to dealership on 8/2/2002.was informedat this time by same dealership (6/26/2002) that my transmission was damaged and needed to be replaced.
Transmission slips and will not go into gear.only 55,000 miles on the vehicle and we strictly adhered to the maintenance schedules.based on research on the web, this is quite common but honda is not standing behind the transmission failures.honda recognized the issues with the 2000-2003 accord transmissions but failed to include the 1999's when their is obviously widespread problems with them.
The transmission was slipping from 1st to 2nf gear, it was mildly noticeable. I had it checked out by transmission auto shops and they said i would be fine and there was not any indication of problems from the diagnostic tests. I continued to drive it for a year. Then one day it shifted so hard i barely made it out of the middle of the city going through multiple intersections to find a place to park it. The transmission will need to be replaced. Had the transmission dropped in the middle of the busy city, i know it could have caused an accident.
Transmission would not shift into first gear.went out with 82000 miles.already had transmission replaced at 44000 miles.two in 82000 miles.
Vehicle hesitated andjerked.consumermade contact with the dealer, and was told that transmission was not covered under warranty.
Honda accord 99 v6 transmission failed, speed 10 mph while it's 6000 rpm, almost caused an accident, very dangerous, it's 2nd transmission. The 1st transmission failed at about 70k miles, and the 2nd failed at 82k.
Automatic transmission failure at 53k!. Transmission suddenly jerked car forward at stop light forcing it into intersection. Dealership diagnosed as a transmission failure andthat it needs to be replaced. No extended warrant from honda for '99 models. Unless honda takes care of its defective parts it will be my last honda. Very dangerous situation!
1999 honda accord rebuilt transmission. *mr the vehicle did not shift properly before the 36k mile warranty ran out.*sc
While driving 20 mph, the automatic transmission did not shift properly.the consumer was informed that the new transmissions have updated carrier bearings.the original transmission had defective carrier bearings which spread metal debris throughout the transmission and caused the failure. The consumer sent a petition letter but did no received any notification from odi whether it was received or what possible action would be taken.
1999 honda accord - 63k miles - transmission failed. Transmission was serviced about 5k00miles before failure despite not being recommended by honda. Honda would not pay for replacement.
Transmission differential failed, causing vehicle to produce a loud noise when driving. Dealer notified.
Hi,i own a 1999 4 door automatichonda 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 hondais 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.
Transmission will not shift properly into gear, it was slow in shifting. When ever this happens, engine would rev up.
The vehicle had a problem with the transmission.honda issued a recall which only affected honda accord with a v6 engine, 2000 to 2001, and the consumer stated his vehiclealso experienced the same problems from the recall but honda will not extend the warranty on the honda1999 accords .it cost $4000.00 for a recondition transmission, the consumer requested that honda reimburse himfor the defective vehicle.
Transmission failed in my honda accord 99. With research i found alot of consumers that had the transmissions fail in their accord 99/2000/2001's. The 200+ transmission were under recall. I directly asked honda if the part (auto transmission) was the same in the 99 accord as the 2000 / 2001 which is under recall. Though several honda dealerships i found out that the part (auto transmission) is exactly the same in a 99, 2000 or 2001 honda accord. The honda warranty team would not admit (again i directly asked) that the part was the same. Thus, i am left with honda knowing that 99 accord's have known defective automatic transmissions that fail at road speed (erratic shifting).my transmission failed on an interstate at 60 mph road speed by shifting from drive to reverse. I almost got hit by an 18 wheeler that had to go off road to avoid my car.i guess when the fatalities grow big enough to warrant a class action suit honda will be forced to recall.*nlm
The vehicle was parked in the driveway which is very steep.the consumers husband had come home and found the vehicle in the woods beside the driveway.the problem could not be duplicated.the emergency brake was engaged and the vehicle appeared to be in park.the consumer requested reimbursement for the deductible and the rental carexpense.also the key was able to be removed while the vehicle was in gear.recall campaign# 05v025000. *sc
Transmission failure on 1999 honda accord v6 with only 56000 miles.
While driving consumer was unable to shift gears. The check engine light appeared on the dashboard.vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the transmission needed to be replaced, and replaced it.however, the problem recurred.
While traveling, the transmission slipped gears.the consumer is unable to drive.the closest honda dealer was contacted and replaced the part.the part took a month to obtain.similar experience to that of the 2000-01 honda accord auto transmissions as documented in a recent recall.*scc
The differential bearings on my transmission failed at 49k miles and damaged my transmission.i had my transmission rebuilt by a private company when honda told them that it was not under warranty.i was told by honda that they may have done helped if a dealer had done the work. *nlm
While driving 50 mph the vehicle slowed down.consumer later learned that the transmissionfailed.
Reoccuring transmission problems. Glad i bought the 100k warranty...changed once at 60k due to bearing failure...now at 75k the center between the back seats get very, very hot and starting to feel slipping...again. Looks like another trip to the dealer for another transmission. I don't feel safe...especially when i commute 75 miles a day with a 13 month old baby.
Transmission slips in lower gears. Also lurches forward upon acceleration in all gears.this lurching is often quite severe causing the car to swerve which is incredibly dangerous.
Car is stalling and seems that transmission is slipping.in researching web, i have run across at least 20 drivers, with exact same make, model etc.although my car has 120k miles, some only had 60k when their transmission failed.every mechanic that i spoke with (including dealership) admits that the transmission in these models are known to fail.i can't believe that a dealer as reputable as honda has not been made to reengineer their transmissions.according to the complaints i have read, even the 2004 models have transmissions beginning to fail.it seems extremely unfair that the customers are the ones footing the bill.
Transmission failure at 46,000 (this was already reported to nhtsa).check engine light has come on again - this time it is the catalytic convertor and 02 sensors.
My 99' honda accord would slip gears and jerk a lot when i would put it in gear or stop at a stop light and then proceed to go again. After a day of driving i took my car to the dealership and the said my automatic transmission had gone out completely andthat they see it happen to my make and year of car all of the time.i had to replace the transmission and take a hit of three thousand dollars to get my car functional again.it amazes me that there is still not a recall for this but almost everyone who owns these cars has to replace the transmission.
The transmisson shifts hard. Sometimes it even slips. It started doing it few months ago. Right know my car has about 80000 miles on it. Honda has a recall on 2000 but since it is a 1999 they are making a excuss. My older 91 accord was perfect till 250,000 miles . I guess with this kinda quality this will be my last honda ever.
Delay in acceleration when accelerator is depressed.*mrthe vehicle experienced a short delay when the accelerator was pressed.the check engine light illuminated.the vehicle jerked forward upon acceleration and the vehicle became noticeably louder when shifting between gears.the technician indicated that the transmissions component appeared to be used or remanufactured.*ph *nlm

Automatic transmission is failing at a very low mileage, when the engine is hot, the transmission starts slipping, and the car loses control.
The automatic transmission stalls for 2 or 3 seconds and there is a lost of power before the car begins to move forward. Near accident when trying to merge on the interstate. Dealership advised that this is a common problem on honda accord v6 coupes with automatic transmissions. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models. Dealership offered to replace transmission with a rebuilt for $ 3,000. The car randomly accelerates and decelerates in stop and go traffic.no problems when the car crosses 35 mph on the interstate.
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.
The transmission slips, shudders, free spins, and shifts very erratic.it started suddenly just out of no where.this transmission isn't very good, and honda is denying any defects in it.its really messed up how honda is treating customers who have come to love honda cars.
The vehicle hesitates paused and then surges due to defective transmission. Yh
1999 honda accord ex v-6transmission failure. I had been noticing acceleration problems. I thought the problem was with fuel injection. I was coming back from a weekend trip and the check engine light came. I took the car to the dealer the next day for the 75,000 mile service.they said it was the transmission. The next day it failed the transmission test. Dealer said it would have to be replaced. I do not drive long distances and i do not feel safe in the car. *nlm

Differential seals on 1999 honda accord exl are leaking.*mr(nar)transmission needs to be replaced.
The transmission in the honda accord vehicle years 1998-2003 are defective. The transmissions are failing at as early as 70,000 miles. My accords transmission recently failed at an estimated 80,000-85,000 miles. Upon further investigation i discovered that honda did/or will replace the transmission in only the 2000 and up accords but will not acknowledge a problem in the 98 and 99 honda accord despite knowing that the same exact type of transmission was used in the 98 and 99 versions as well. There are numerous complaints concerning honda's refusal to take responsibility and replace the transmission in 98 and 99 as well. Is their anything that we can do. I think it's unfair to spend over $2,600 to replace something that honda knows is defective. Please let me know what actions i could take.thanks
99 accord ex v6.driving on expressway at about 40 mph and accelerating.transmission jolted the entire car shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, engine light came on and from that point on transmission was extremely sluggish and jolting during down shift or upshift.took into dealer was informed it needed new transmission for $6500.this car has 67000 miles on it.found several hundred complaints on the internet regarding automatic transmission failures exactly like mine in v6 accords exactly like mine.honda extended warranty on 2000 and 2001 v6's to7 yr/100k, but not 1998 or 1999.my car happens to be a 1999. When a class action suit is initiated, count me in.i will file formal complaint with american honda.
Engine light comes on every 500-600 miles. Schomp honda in denver said flush transmission. If that didn't work, there was a valve to replace in the transmission. If that didn't work, transmission replacement needed at $50,000. Transmission has been flushed, and the valve replaced (by kool honda, mccook, ne). This time the light came on about 1000 miles. This started before mileage was 47,000 miles. We bought the car used, and suspect the problem was apparent when the prior owner traded it in.honda needs to respond to all the owners with transmission problems,by fixing/replacing the transmission at no cost to owners. *la
1999 honda accord ex v6 auto transmission failure.began upon return from 100k service by honda dealership.erratic shifting/slipping occurs.upon further inspection, fluid leaks at various points of the under chassis.my accord has only been serviced by a honda service dept.was informed by tech that a "faulty" carrier bearing was noted.a "refurb" tranny install was reccommended ($3000) instead of replacing the faulty bearing.
I was driving my mom's 1999 honda accord ex v6 home last night around 11:00 pm.as i was approaching the exit and proceeded to decelerate from 65mph, the car violently downshifted several times causing me to lose control of the car.a large tractor-trailer which was behind me was narrowly able to avoid rear-ending (or running me over!) by switching lanes.my life flashed before me as i thought this was the end of my life.fortunately, i survived, however, i have a nasty case of whiplash.after doing my research, i've found that the transmissions used in the 98-2002 accords v6 have a faulty carrier bearing which brakes and ruins the innerds of the whole transmission.after calling honda usa, i was told tough luck, and was sarcastically told that if i expected them to pay for replacement, i shouldn't hold my breath.regardless of the extrordinary inflated replacement cost of $4800.00, the nhtsa must open a defect investigation.although the 2001-2002's were "recalled," the 98-99's with the exact same transmissions have not.i fear for the lives of all those individuals with these cars - especially if they cannot afford the outrageous cost to replace honda's faulty transmissions.this is truly an injustice!
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord lx.in november of 2008, the transmission was replaced at 14,000 miles.recently, the contact noticed that the transmission was not shifting correctly while driving 30 mph.the dealer stated that the transmission needed to be replaced again.the manufacturer stated that the mileage exceeded the warranty and they will not assist.the cost for a new transmission would be $2,630.the failure and current mileages were 141,000.

There is a clunking sound and vibration in steering, the wheel definitely is not turning at the same speed as the others.

Transmission slips and lurches.requested dealer service and adjustment.fluids replaced, but no service performed.service manager evasive and mis-leading.made appointment for adjustment, fluid and filter change, dealer did just one.fluid was not burnt or discolored.problem persists.warranty extension should be ordered expanded to include 1999 model.*nlm
I have a 1999 honda accord exv6 the transmission started slipping 3 months ago. I called my dealer at that time because i had received a letter nov 2001 from honda stating that there was a warrany extension for egr system clogging.the service advisor stated that this would not help my case. Now at 70000 i need a new transmission.i bought this car after owning a toyota for 12 years w/ no problems. To say the least i am disgusted.

1999 honda accord v6, transmission failure.2000 through 2002 had warranties extended.
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/around2002-2003.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.
Transmission failure.
I just purchased a 1999 honda accord exv6 coupe from the original owner who kept excellent records on the scheduled maintaince according to the factory manual. The complaint i have is that the automatic transmission is failing with only 60,000 miles on the car. I have read where the honda recalled 16000 accords with transmission problems and replaced them on 2000 and 2001 accords. Why are they allowed to skip the 1999 problems? something must be done about thisthank you for your time.larry weinstein.
I have noticed a few wet spots on my floor of my garage so i crawled under car to look.i noticed fluid coming out from the transmission on the driver's side where the axle goes throught the axle seal into the transmission.i took the car to exclusive honda /acura in omaha ne.they checked the car over and found excessive play in the driver's side output shaft (axel).they advised me i would need a new transmission.the car is a 1999 accord that has been maintained according to manual and only has 58000 miles.i have also noticed and erratic shift that is very unsafe while driving.
When backing out of my driveway, which is slightly inclined, the transmission in my 1999 accord v6 will slip as if the gears are not meshing and it violently pops.it also requires me to press hard on the accelerator for the car to even back out of the driveway.the transmission also does not shift smoothly when driving and sometimes downshifts erratically, such as after i've already stopped.i bought this car used with 72,000 miles after taking it to the nearest honda dealership for a thorough checkout prior to the purchase.i was not told of a transmission problem with this model by the dealer, and everything checked out ok except they said the transmission fluid needed to be changed, which i did.after approximately 1 week, the transmission slipped for the first time with me.i carried it to the dealer again and was told this was "normal" for a honda.well, it's not normal for my other two honda accords (91 and 92).it now slips every day that i drive it and i believe it will completely fail pretty soon.i suspect the previous owner probably had the transmission fixed and then sold it to me.i also have a 2002 odyssey, which ironically, is in the shop today for a recall to check the 2nd gear in the tranmission for over-heating and to install a "oil jet" whatever the hell that is.i am very angry at honda and will probably never buy another honda of any kind if a recall is not issued on these obviously cheaply designed and dangerous transmissions.why can't you put some pressure on honda to include the 1999 model accord with the 2000+ models for the trans recall?it's obvious that there is a significant problem.
Honda has a warranty replacement on 2000/2001 models and not on the 1999 model.this is the same engine and transmission on the 2000 and 2001 model.they will not do anything for the 1999.what can nhtsa do?dt
Honda did help withthe out of warranty expense but i my repair combined exceeded almost 1600.00 between the independent repair garage and the honda dealer for acar that is less than three years old purchased new. No safety defect listed.

The transmission in my accord went out and was unsafe to drive. The car would suddenly shift into neutral while driving or stopped. When stopped at a stop light, the car would suddenly accelerate in gearing and car would jump forward while even on the brake. If the car was placed into reverse, if on a slight hill, the car would roll forwards or backwards before catching gears and acting the proper way.

Found other people with similar problems with their hondas.
Transmission failed at 40,000 miles, however it was under warranty so they fixed it at a cost of roughly $6000. Nowat 82,000 miles, the fluid is leaking and they are advising me to pay for a replacement for about $4000.honda is using there good name to sell a defective product and the 98-99 v6 accords need to be recalled along with the 2000-2001.

I own a 1999 honda accord ex 2.3 vtech. I started having transmission problems around 60000, when the car was cold transmission had trouble shifting gears, when the car gets hot transmission is ok. I went to the honda dealer where my friend works as a mechanic and he told me that my transmission is failing and sooner or later it will need to be replaced, he also told me that there are hundreds of people coming to the dealer with the same problem, he also told me that honda issued a recall on 2000 and 2001 hondas accord transmission but they did not issue the recall for 1998 and 1999. I've ended up selling my accord and getting another 1999 honda accord lx 2.3 vtech and few weeks ago i've noticed the same problem. What's going on? if honda won't issue another recall for 1999 accord transmissions, i'll never buy honda again.

I was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden my car felt as if it were in neutral. The transmission went out on the freeway. The car was at about 95k miles, but this seemed very early for a transmission to go out. I got the transmission rebuilt, which cost me about $1600. Filing this complaint after a few years, but i recently heard the 1998 honda accords are having a recall. Mine is a 1999 honda accord.
Transmission will not shift properly into gear, it was slow in shifting. When ever this happened engine would rev.
Auto transmission started shifting hard within the first year and now jerks abruptly between first & second gear.

[xxx]november 21, 2006i 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, 2006they 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, 2006ever 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 28,2006december 1, 2006the 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. They recommended that we take the car back to marin honda.i drove the car to marin honda.december 2, 2006 eddie parnell, service manager at marin honda said that they've replaced the range sensor but still has the same problem. He thought it could be the transmission. He said that they continue checking.december 9, 2006after eight days, jack, service advisor at marin honda, called and said that the transmission has to be replaced. He said that we will have to pay half of the cost.updated 07/11/2012information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I pulled my accord up to the front door of a subway shop. I set the brake, removed keys and put my cellular phone in my trunk. No movement of car took place. I went in the shop to order my sandwich. I sat down to eat---the vehicle was still in place.as i was disposing of trash. When i went to get in vehicle, it was gone.i thought someone got another accord.i looked 100 feet to my left and the car was wedged between two cars.the keys were in my pocket.the two owners of the damaged vehicles could not believe what happened.one owner, an insurance broker, said this was a first for him.my question : why would a vehicle roll when the ignition was locked?

I have a 99 honda accord ex v6 and found out recently that the transmission had to be replaced. It was having serious shifting problems and the check engine light came on. The hadn't even hit 90,000 miles yet.when i went in to honda tosee what the light was on for it turns out it was a "torque converter clutch system failure" and the transmission would have to be replaced. Honda told me it was no longer under warranty (3yr, 36k mi warranty) so they claim they couldn't replace it. It shouldn't matter if it isn't under warranty. No one purchases a car, new or used, to have to get a whole new transmission before the car even makes it to 100,000 miles.besides themajor mechanical purchase, honda's faulty transmissions are a safety hazard. I can't recall how many times i've practically been ran off the road by tractor trailers because my car couldn't shift and accelerate fast enough to get onto the highway.honda should be ashamed of themselves. Does it really take someone to die before they try to remedy the situation?
- the contact statedthat while driving the 1999 honda accord with 80000 failure mileage at 45 mph and coming to a red light the vehicle stopped, but in an attempt the drive the vehicle, it did not move, it jerked forward eventually.also, the vehiclehad problems shifting into gears.the vehicle was taken to a shop and a new transmission was recommended.
Internal torque converter problem; would not pass emissions; lock up not coming on in overdrive;requires replacement of cylinoids, torge, gasket seal, transmission fluid, and labor costs ($1241).
I have noticed a few wet spots on my floor of my garage so i crawled under car to look.i noticed fluid coming out from the transmission on the driver's side where the axle goes throught the axle seal into the transmission.i took the car to exclusive honda /acura in omaha ne.they checked the car over and found excessive play in the driver's side output shaft (axel).they advised me i would need a new transmission.the car is a 1999 accord that has been maintained according to manual and only has 58000 miles.i have also noticed and erratic shift that is very unsafe while driving.
The catalytic converter was replaced three times due to deterioration. The trunk latch, timing belt, balancer belt, and the power door actuator were replaced, the parking brake was adjusted, the are rest and axle seal was replaced, the seat belt failed to retract, and the windows rattled. *ph
I have a 1999 honda accord dx sedan. The clutch went out recently. According to honda, they have a service bulletin out for this problem. However, honda says this problem is due to faulty manufacturing from a vendor at original assembly. Instead of repair or replace the part that is faulty the whole clutch assembly must be replaced due to new manufacturing and design specs. So instead of a cost of @ $150.00 it will cost me @ $500.00. Plus there are no assemblies available - it's back ordered due to the demand of this assembly because of the failure of the original. As of this time - even though honda freely admits the to bad manufacturing -they are offering no reimbursement or offer no assistance for a rental car. I've been without a vehicle for 3 weeks with no repair date in sight.

During late night drive in clear weather at about 30 mph, auto veered into utility pole hitting on driver's side front.the honda accord coupe has seat belt whose height where mounted to side body of car is not adjustable.the seat belt worn correctly by driver, cut across the neck of the 5'3" driver and above her right breast.driver was transported by ambulance to two hospitals (the first didn't feel it could handle the injury).the only major injury was c2 cervical fracture requiring (so far) the wearing of a rigid miami j neck brace.followup with neurosurgeon will determine whether the injured neck is healing properly or will require surgery.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that the driver's side seat belt became tangled around the seat adjuster latch. The manufacturer wasmade aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.updated 7/10/13
Design of seat belt experience failure when the brakes are applied which continues to tighten until you feel "chocked" even once the brakes are released, resulting in discomfort for the driver and passengers.
When retracting, the driver side seat belt can catch on the power seat lever which reclines the driver seat.as a result, the seat back reclines unless someone determines the reason for the seat going back.the seat reclines with such force that anyone sitting in the back seat can be severely injured and potentially crushed by the force.
I feel there is a serious safety problem with the rear seat belts. When you put them on, they lock tight around your neck and you can not loosen them unless you unhook them and let the belt go all the way back. I went to the dealer today to see if this was a defect and was told that this is what they are suposed to do.if these belts do not give during a collision, they will break your neck or choke you to death.please advise. I thought seat belts were ment to be adjustable.
Fuel gauge never read full, on a full gas tank.dealer replaced fuel sending unit, which resolved the problem.driver's side seat belt gets caught on the release lever of the seat-back while seat belt is buckled.this severely restricts the of movement of the driver.when this happens, i am strapped very tight in the seat until i can manage to remove the seat belt part that is stuck to the release lever.
Rear seat belts on both sides have frayed in identical places, where the shoulder belt enters the housing in the seat.plastic "guard" is sharped edged, and has cut 1/2" into each seat belt.showed to dealer during routine mtc.they claimed they hadn't seen anything like this ("did you close it in the door?" "no, we hardly use the back seats at all, since only two adults ride/drive this car.")they agreed to one round of replacement under warranty, but we expect it may happen again.
The honda 2000 coupe ex is also displaying the same failure with the driver seatbelt.
Passenger side seat belt buckle was defective.when the vehicle goes around a corner the passenger buckle comes loose.
Left stop light & "t" boned another vehicle entering intersection. Upon impact with vehicle, neither air bag deployed. Also,driver's seat belt failed to restrain. Driver hit support between side window & front window. *ml

Driver's side seat belt may not retract immediately when you exit the car.if it doesn't, it will retract, but will get caught on the power seat controls.when it retracts, it pulls the seat recline lever and causes the seat back to recline until it cannot do so because it is stopped by the rear seat.one time this happened, i was out of the car for five minutes and when i got back in, i could smell the power seat motor burning - the seat belt was forcing the driver's seat to recline.if one of my kids were in the back seat, she would have been pinned and could have been severely injured.i took the car to the dealer and they said nothing could be done (except for some type of guard over the power seat controls).i think this is a design flaw - not a manufacturing defect.please let me know if others have had this problem.its a great car other than this strange problem.
Returned to car to find the driver's seat in the fully reclined position.it is apparant that the seat/shoulder belt will hang up on theadjusting lever of the seat and cause it to recline over a period of several minutes.the dealer ship was told of this on march 20, 2002.theysaid, "the problem is that the belt is twisted."the invoice,number hocs256282 stated the seat belt was untwisted, on march 22, 2002, i found the seat fully reclined again.
Rear driver's and passenger's seatbelts tighten too hard which causes the occupants to choke and release the buckle.they are unable to wear the rear seatbelts.please provide further information.

Seat track is broken and seat is flopping around. The metal piece that attached to the seat frame has broken off.when looking at the break, observed metal shavings on floor and a lot of metal shavings at the point of the break.appears to be a defective part or workmanship.my concern is that if i had had an accident, the seat would not have held and i could have been thrown out the back of the car.i have reported this to honda customer care department, they did not seem concerned at all.offered to pay half of the part required to fix this but they said the part was around $700!i have not had it fixed yet because i feel they should be responsible.i see that mine is the 4th complaint reported to you regarding this same issue.
1999 honda accord driver"s seat has developed excessive looseness (rocking motion). Honda of america issued a product update in 2003 , but is unwilling to repair problems that arose after 2005.
Left metal control arm that raises and lowers the drivers seat has broken. Both the metal and the weld have broken and the bar under the seat is no longer attached to the control arm under the left front of the seat. The seat flops and is unstable. This car has not been involved in an accident but the fear is that had it been or should it be, the seat will fall backwards causing serious injury to both the driver and rear seat passenger. Should the right side fail, the seat will not be held in place at all. This does not seem to be the type of failure that should occur under normal circumstances or even in an accident. Honda will accept no responsibility for this failure even though it appears to be a serious safety concern.
Driver's seat track came unbolted fromfloor. Dealer has inspected and repaired vehicle.the dealer paid half the cost of repair.

Seat frame bracket failure on power assisted driver's seat.the left front corner of of the seat bottom bracket failed, and appear to be due to the weld condition of the bracket. Under acceleration the silt tilts backwards.can't believe the nhtsa just closed an investigation on 3/2003 this issue and decided it did not warrant the use of agency resources, i weigh 190 pounds, and do not jump into and out of my seat, it is clearly a manufacturing safety defect.

The left front corner of the seat has about a half-inch of vertical slack in it.(you can move the left-front corner up that much with your hand.)this allows the seat to rock back (in a rocking motion) when pushing against the seat back.this happens when getting in the car, changing positions in the seat, and even under hard acceleration.the dealer replaced the seat track under warranty.that didn't solve it.the service representative at the dealer told me this was not an uncommonproblem.it started as soon as we got the car (purchased new) and it's never stopped.

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?
My power assisted driver's seat bracket that attaches the seat bottom to the seat base has fractured because of the weld condition of bracket. My seat weld at the left front corner of the seat bottom now causes the seat to rock with no stability. The honda dealership will not honor the pe02072 stating that my vin no. Is not in the range and that the time period has expired. This is a dangerous weld failure that odi should hold honda accountable.
I was in an accident. I was sitting in stopped traffic when an suv rear ended me going about 40 to 45 mph . It then sent me into a truck that was stopped in front of me. My seat the drivers side colapsed and i ended up laying flat in the back seat. After talking to the body shop i found out all the gears in the power seat were stripped causing back injury. It is my understanding that this should have never colasped. I have contacted the honda dealer along with honda consumer relation and the safety council and received no satisfaction they all just passed the buck back to one another it was a vicious circle.

After tilting forward passenger side front seat only locks into place if the back of the seat is locked back before sliding the seat back into place. I have had several occasions where the passenger slid forward while braking. The seat belt held, but the passengers were caught by surprise. I showed the dealer this and was told well, just lock the seat back.however, when the seat has been tilted forward, passengers naturally slide it back into place. If they do not lock the back upright first, there is a chance the seat is not locked into place.
Consumer was stopped and a vehicle hit her from behind, the seat broke and was left in a reclining position.
While at a stopconsumer was rear ended. This caused the driver's seat frame to snap, jerking the driver's seat forward.dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
The subframe, brake lines, fuel lines, and suspension, on the front passenger side, have all rusted out to the point of failure due to a poorly designed a/c drain hose. The dealer should have noticed this was a problem during any of the later service visits. Honda should take action on this dangerous situation.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated while driving at 40 mph, the contact stated the vehicle in front suddenly braked, which caused the contact to depress on their brake pedal however the vehicle began to spin out of control and hit another vehicle in the next lane on the front passenger side door by the contacts front bumper. The contact vehicle did not sustain any damage, however, the vehicle they hit the front passenger side tire came off of that vehicle. There was no one was injured. No medical treatment was needed.

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.
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.

My breaks have not failed, but since i have owned the car they have made a terrible squealing noise.i have reported the problem several times to the dealer and have had it looked at twice.i was told that because of the new materials used to make breaks causes this noise.i am not satisfied with that answer since very few if any of the other new cars i see and hear on the road are making the same noise.has this problem been reported by other honda owners?is it in fact due to the materials used to construct the break pads? it is really frustrating to have a new car and have it sound like the breaks need replacing.
I broke pulling into a parking spot to a store.i felt the pedal pulsating and went all the way to the floor and i ended up into the shop braking all the glass windows. (tiresize: 205/65 /15)
The knocking noise was there since a few months after i bought the car.the dealer said that's normal with new hondas b/c the gears . Had broken-in, benefit of a doubt. But after that the knocking happened mo re often i became suspicious and asked a friend with a 4cyl '99 accordlx he saidthat he never had that problem. Mine was an exv6 top of the line this shouldn'thappen. And the last time i brought it to the dealer they heard it at least oncebut thay said that they can't duplicate it on demand so they can't pinpoint wh at's causing it. This should've been fixed a long time ago by the dealer. Brakesand steering did not work, car froze,causing me to go off the road: repair mech anic said,'timing belt". Maintenance was done 2 mo. Prior at dealer. The dealer service station should have inspected the timing belt. Even so the car should no t freeze b/c of a timing belt- brakes and steering are vital to a vehicles safet y without these airbags and seatbelts are just cushions for accidents waiting tohappen. Manufacturers should fix this safety problem to prevent crashes insteadof focusing on crash safety. I lost a car but i'm lucky to be alive from this h orrifying ordeal. I want at least reimbursement for the car from either the manu facturer or the dealer.
Consumer applied brakes at 60-65 mph, pedal went to the floor, no braking action. This resulted in a frontal collision, no injuries,vehicle was totalled.
Vehicle would pull to right, and brakesstarted making a real loud noise. First pair of brakes were put on 6,000 miles, second pair put on at 11,000 miles. Dealer wasseeing a problem, but not enough to look into.dealer had never seenbrakes wear that fast.
When driving on wet or dry pavementandupon depressingbrake pedal to make a graudal stop, pedal traveled to the floorboard, causing extended stopping distance. Problem was intermittent. Consumer has contacteddealer, dealer has replacedbrake master cylinder. Problem still occurring.please provide any further details.
Passenger was driving 35 mph and went to apply brakes.the brakes went to the floor without warning.the brakes went out again on 1/26/01.when the owner took the car in the first time, the service manager assured her that this is a one time thing and it will never happen again.the owner had no prior knowledge of a brake light indicator.the brakes insistly went out without warning.

My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 accord.when i need to accelerate the car "misfires" according to the gresham honda dealership.this is where the car is being serviced.contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503-676-7070.i am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because i never know when my car will misfire.at times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms.basically, there is no acceleration.the check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates.the first two times that the car was taken to the honda dealership the check light did come on.my car is currently on it's 5th stay with honda.they(honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was.hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly.i'd hate to be the cause of an accident.equally as important, i have had a failure with my abs.while there was no accident, i barely stopped at the intersectionwhile brakes locked up on pavement.i have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above.in fact, the honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my accord.i may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number. Thank you for your time,amber weimerskirch.(tiresize: w-10)
As i left the airport parking my car all of a sudden went to 60 miles and my brake would not stop the car.it caused me to go through a red light i was afraid to shut it off for fear it would roll on me so i put the car in n the car was still moving and racing like a race car then it slowed and i was able to use the brake, but when i took my foot off the brake the car went right up to 45 i had about 15 miles from home to all the way home it stayed at 45 unless i had my foot on the brakes,this happen at 2:00am.

This is a follow-up to a previous complaint - 10020962 from last year.low and behold, 4 months after my brake rotors were turned and repaired, the brakes started to warp again.the honda dealership would not re-repair them - they indicated that the aftermarket brake pads on the front were causing the problem (the brake pads were fine).i took my car to another facility - one that fixes and maintains race cars - they indicated that auto makers are using lighter (and less durable) parts to enhance mpg ratings - which is more likely the cause of this problem with my honda accord, as well as with other types of vehicles.the good news was that while my car was in, i was able to get the recall on the ignition switch fixed, and at the same time, they indicated that my car needs a new catalytic converter - i believe this is the same issue many honda owners are facing - "check engine" light comes on about 3-4 months into each new gas cap.i've had 4 for this vehicle (and have not lost any).i've never replaced a gas cap in my life before, just as i have never had brake rotor problems before.the only good thing i could say was that they did not charge me the diagnostic fee - given the problems i've had, i would hope not.i ended up having the o2 filter / sensor (whatever it is) replaced at another facility - which took care of a drop in mileage issue i was experiencing. The bad news for honda is that i am probably going back to toyota - i would love to have another honda if the dealership would stand behind their vehicles or make me an offer i can't refuse (with a decent trade in on this vehicle)...i'm in the market for a 2004-2005 small to med suv...i loved some aspects of my accord, but need a new, larger vehicle to haul my daughter back and forth to college.ps:since i know the rotors won't last, i'm not repairing them anymore.this is obviously a faulty design for this model.
While applying the brakes a noisewas heard coming from the rear.the consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer for analysis, and the mechanic replaced the rotors and other parts due to corrosion.the clunk noise was thought to be coming from the right rear stabilizer link which was replaced. *sc
My 1999 honda accord ex sedan with approximately 84,000 miles on odometer has warped front rotors.i have always taken good care of my vehicles, however, i almost always bought toyota's in the past (and kept most to the 100,000-mile mark).this is my first honda.i've reviewed all of the complaints filed with regard to this vehicle, and concur with others that there is no logical reason for warped rotors at this point.front and back brakes were replaced last year (on separate occasions), brakes have been inspected routinely, and i have not been driving routinely in congested traffic, nor do i take my car to car washes when it is bitter cold outside (as the honda rep indicated could be the cause).in addition to paying for pm service at honda, i now have to pay an additional $138+ for rotor repairs.my drive to work is pretty easy, especially compared to years when i drove to downtown minneapolis daily.if i was ever going to have "rotor warp" issues, it should have been on the vehicles that drove the city miles.therefore, it was a surprise to be hit with "warped rotors."i was already a honda owner a when i heard about how "secretive" they are with their quality issues.why do they feel the need to hide their parts, service, and design flaws, and try to evade customer care opportunities?honda should be upfront and accountable for the safety and reliability of the vehicles they manufacture, distribute, and profit from in this country.after all, these were genuine honda parts that warped.i appreciate the opportunity to register this complaint and hope the investigation of this part or design failure yields some good news in recouping some of the cost.having made my last car payment yesterday, i was hoping to have a break from payments and repairs for a while.however, this sounds like it will be a repeat problem, and if so, i may need to look at new vehicles.a lot depends on what honda does, or does not do, to remedy the situation. *nlm
While traveling about 50-60 mph felt a shimmying sensation insteering wheel. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer saidthere was no problem, but problem returned.rotors needed to be replaced several times in the past year. Has had several problems dealing with dealer. Heard screeching noises, and while accelerating sticking feeling.
I have had to replacerear brakes twice within 8 months.this is the 3rd time they have been worked on. The first time the dealership paid for the repair.this last time i was told by the dealer that i have to replace the brakes every 15,000 miles! there was only 8 months between the first and second set of brakes put on the car.
Vehiicle hesistated when acclerating and it stalled. This condition almost caused a crash, which could have been fatal.vehicle has been checked for trouble over 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months.

I was going down hill on a four lane highway in town and gave a signal to turn right onto a street. I put the brake on and as i was turning onto the street the brake pedal went to the floor. A truck was coming the opposite direction when i turne the corner and i turned left into some bushes and rocks to miss it. The police officer and the wrecker driver tried the brakes and said the brakes were out. I then had the car towed to the dealer to have repaired under warrenty and the service mangager said he could not find a problem.i picked the car up and had my brother in law drive the car home. The brake pedal went down on him before he got the car home. My son is an ase certified mechanic and repaired the brakes. He said the wheel had not been off the vehicle as the brake drums were still rusted onto the rear axle. He adjusted the rear brakes, checked the front brake pads and installed a new master cylinder. The brakes seem to be working fine now. It cost my insurance company $4100.00 to repair the body damage to the car. I think this should have been covered under warrenty. Your help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am the original owner of a 1999 honda accord (purchased new) with 57,400 miles.while traveling down hill in wet but not rainy conditions, my brakes failed.the pedal went all the way to the floor & i lost all braking power.i was not able to pump the brakes back up and there were no brake indicator or warning lights that came on.it was not an abs activated system because the pedal simply fell to the floor. After the car sat for approx. 30 minutes, full braking power returned. There was also a burning smell, with a foul odor.when i took the car to an independent shop, no problem could be found.i was told it was a one-time occurrance. I then took the car to a honda dealer (this is the 5th honda i have owned & i have never experienced this problem) the dealer gave two reasons for loss of brakes/pedal to the floor:loss of brake fluid (mine was fine) or a problem with the internal seal in the master cylinder.the dealer replaced my master cylinder and bled the whole system.the car has rather low mileage & has been regularly serviced.my child & his friend were in the car with me when the brakes failed.there was no crash as i used the e-brake and was able to come to a slow stop (it took approx. 1block) and i was only traveling approx. 30 mph.

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.

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.
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.

The power steering line connects with the power steering hoses. My mechanic told me that this problem occurs quite frequentlyon accords with v6 engines. The reason i'm contacting you is the current recall of defective power steering lines and hoses on 2003-2007 honda accords equipped with 6 cylinder engines. Although my vehicle is not included in the recall, honda may not be aware of the problem occurring on 6-cylinder accords in years other than 2003-2007.

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.

Car considered a total, after incident.
On may 26th, 2014 i had my 1999 honda accord lx sedan in for an oil change. The technician noticed that the front subframe, passenger side has rusted to the point that the subframe will need replaced. The subframe is free of any significant rust otherwise. I was told and have read that this issue has been caused by an improperly placed ac drain hose. The car's undercarriage is virtually rust free as well, and is frequently washed during winter months.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Paint faded on hood, top of roof and trunk.
The a/c compressor drips directly on the subframe, which rusted it completely apart. Which in turn, destroyed the suspension. My car is now waiting to be towed back to my house, totally not drivable.

The clear coat on my '99 honda accord is faded and the paint has started to come off in many spots.
Ac drain hole is above the frame over time it caused rust and now it and cracked, and almost has broken completely.
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.
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.
Front passenger side, rear chamber of front subframe rust. Reports of a/c drain resulting in rust. Driver side of subframe, no visible rust.
The problem is the clear coat is peeling on almost all of the body parts and looks atrocious.
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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that while being inspected, it was found thatsub frame was severely rusted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 181,000....updated 06/04/2014 the consumers stated the vehicle was not being used because it was deemed unsafe. Replacement subframes are difficult to find because the failure is widespread. Updated 06/06/2014
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 ihave 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.

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!!!
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.
On may 26th, 2014 i had my 1999 honda accord lx sedan in for an oil change. The technician noticed that the front subframe, passenger side has rusted to the point that the subframe will need replaced. The subframe is free of any significant rust otherwise. I was told and have read that this issue has been caused by an improperly placed ac drain hose. The car's undercarriage is virtually rust free as well, and is frequently washed during winter months.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle being serviced, it was advised that the passenger's side sub frame was rusted. The private mechanic stated that the entire sub frame needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 78,870.
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.
The front cross beam that holds the suspension has rusted through on the right side of the car. This has weakened the frame/engine cradle to the point the car is no longer safe to drive. In checking it may have been caused by a badly designed ac drain system.
I bought a 1999 honda accord ex for my niece. After driving it to get tires, i heard a clunk/scraping noise coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle. Upon further inspection, i notice the subframe is rusted clean through. Right underneath the a/c drain drip. The car drifts to the right. The upper ball joint is compramised. The sway bar mount bolts right to that area.
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.
My 16 year old daughter was coming home from school in the rain and was unable to stop in time to keep from rear ending another vehicle.our car sustained extreme front end damage.fortunately there were no injuries but the air bags did not deploy.the entire front end is crumpled and still the air bags did not deploy.i thought my daughter was driving a safe car.
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 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.
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.
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 are having the same issue.clearly this is a result of defective paint.i previously owned a 1993 accord and at 196,000 miles, the paint looked a hundred times better then the paint on my 1999.to 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.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the front side of the vehicle started to shake violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnose that the rear sub-frame area was corroded. The vin was not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure and current mileage was 110,000.
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.
The catalytic converter was replaced three times due to deterioration. The trunk latch, timing belt, balancer belt, and the power door actuator were replaced, the parking brake was adjusted, the are rest and axle seal was replaced, the seat belt failed to retract, and the windows rattled. *ph

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.

We have been told by a certified mechanic that the front subframe or cradle on our 1999 honda accord is rusted beyond repair and due to the rust, any parts that attach to the subframe, such as the upper control arms and struts, cannot be safely replaced due to the condition of the subframe.the mechanic estimated that the subframe will become a safety issue within the next 6 months and suggested it be replaced.in a search on the internet, i found several other owners of 1999 accords experiencing the same issue.
The sub-frame is rusted on passengers side corner.manufacturers defect due to placement of drain for a/c all other sides are ok.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The vehicle is unsafe to drive as the sub frame is rusted due to the air conditioner drain. Engine runs great but the design is flawed.
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.
Upon inspection of vehicle by certified mechanic the subframe(cross member) was found unsafe and rusted out on the passenger side with holes and broken.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 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.
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.
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.
The subframe, brake lines, fuel lines, and suspension, on the front passenger side, have all rusted out to the point of failure due to a poorly designed a/c drain hose. The dealer should have noticed this was a problem during any of the later service visits. Honda should take action on this dangerous situation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have a honda accord ex and the subframe rotted all the way thought. How is that possible? as i look on the internet i see that it is a common issue on accords. Is honda aware of this?
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.
The struts and all 4 wheel bearings was replaced.ts
A banging noise and a vibration are experienced when the engine is started. It happens in every new honda accord lx 1999 and 2000 year car as the dealer let me tested these cars in stock. It is not only uncomfortable but also dangerous because noise and vibration looses screws and connections for the long run. If this is not corrected, some connections may drop and cause accidents.

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!
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.
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.
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.

The front cross beam that holds the suspension has rusted through on the right side of the car. This has weakened the frame/engine cradle to the point the car is no longer safe to drive. In checking it may have been caused by a badly designed ac drain system.
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.
The vehicle is unsafe to drive as the sub frame is rusted due to the air conditioner drain. Engine runs great but the design is flawed.
While drivingvehicle vibrated.
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.

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.
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.
There were problems with the thermostat, brakes, engine light was intermittent, overheating, squealing while driving, the windshield molding at the upper left corner of the window, thumping noise while driving, maintenance light was inoperative, steering wheel vibrated, the abs light was intermittent, and the tires were replaced early.mrscc
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
The subframe, brake lines, fuel lines, and suspension, on the front passenger side, have all rusted out to the point of failure due to a poorly designed a/c drain hose. The dealer should have noticed this was a problem during any of the later service visits. Honda should take action on this dangerous situation.
I was told this will enable a vehicle to run off the road and hit a tree if falling asleep at the wheel.i do not have the vehicle.the companywas not able to correct the problem and told me that all the new vehicles have a pull or drift. The gmc also driven the vehicle, and noticed my complaint.that was when he mentioned that statement to me. So 3 months later i'm in a lease because the problem was not fixed and there was not a replacementvehicle to place me in. I'm not really having a choice. I ended up getting a vehiclethat i really didn't want. Having a 1996 accordvehicle for 2 years i had no problem with pulling or anything.i am so sorry i traded my vehicle in. Since they wanted to charge me to give me my vehicle back i am now in a very unfortunate situation.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. While driving at an unknown speed, the front passenger side wheel turned completely to the right. The dealer stated that the passenger side suspension collapsed and caused the lower control arm to sink to the ground. The lower control arm, tie rod, and passenger side axle were replaced, but the failure recurred a third time. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 230,000.
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.

When vehicle is facing down hill , and you put in reverse it goes forward .i spoke to the service advisor he said it was normal.i personally do not think its normal .i have an `89 ford tempo as old as it is it does not roll downhill when in reverse and facing downhill.i have come close to hitting my garage door because of that. Also when putting in gear in any kind of land level it cracks and makes noises. Tires vibrate ,front onesalso on the highway it strays to the right a lot . I`ve checked air pressure on tires to make sure that did not cause the pulling to the right, and it was not that .air pressure is lost a lot also ,every 2-3 weeks air in front tires goes down approximateley 4-6 pounds, and rears go down 2-3 puonds.i have to check air pressure on a weekly bases .( dot number: tire size: p195/65r15 )

Paint on hood and bumper is chipping. Dealer will not fix. No safety defect listed in summary.
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.
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.
While driving and in motion, the car suddenly and unexpectedly shuts off. It happens after shifting out of gear when coming to a stop. For example, ill be in 3rd gear (or any gear for that matter) and i have to stop and therefore i shift out of gear and the vehicle shuts off. Due to the fact that it shuts off unexpectedly, i feel that this problem is very dangerous. One time, the vehicle turned off while making a left turn almost causing an accident due to the car turning off. This problem has happened approximately 4-6 times. It started early in 2002 and the problem continues. In 2003 the problem has occurred about 4 times. I have taken the vehicle to the maroone honda dealer (because i have an extended warranty with them) to have it checked out, the technicians say they cant figure it out and that they do not know what is causing the problem. Please advise if any other owners have reported similar problems and/or if a remedy is known. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The middle of the hood has four spots where the paint is cracking.dealer states that this is secondary to bird droppings and will not be fixed.dealer states that despite the car whether a bmw or honda that no manufacturer will back up their paint job.dealer states that the "shouldn't" rust through.
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).
Purchased a pr-owned vehicle from power toyota cerritos and the vehicle has major problems after 6 months of ownership.
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.
The rear-computerized motor mount on my honda is defective according to honda.they are aware of the problem on the 1998 and 1999 accords, however, they say they can't fix the problem.when the car is started after it has been sitting for two hours or more, or while accelerating, the engine shifts and the rear mount collapses enough to make contact with the stopper on the body of the car.this results in a loud thunk at start up and, while driving, a loud thud and i have recently experienced a weird feeling in my steering wheel.i have been in contact with the dealership and they have been very cooperative in telling me there is nothing they can do until honda corp. Authorizes a recall or a specific fix for my car.i am currenly in contact with their zone offic in torrance california.the case number for my car is 98-12-23-00001 and their phone number is 800-999-1009.
I purchased a new 1999 honda accord lx in the summer of '99.several months after purchase, my husband and i noticed that the black paint was starting to chip and flake.i took the car back to the dealership from where i purchased the vehicle (performance honda, fairfield, oh) to inquire about the situation.the service supervisor offered many excuses such as thati must have driven through a street painting project, encountered acid rain, used a power washer too often, or didn't keep the vehicle clean.my husband and i take very good care of our vehicles with the intent of keeping them for many years. This vehicle was waxed within the first month of purchase and had been washed and maintained on a regular basis.we continued to see more paint specs missing in the black paint.at each service visit, i complained about the situation.the service manager even came to our house and to my place of employment to inspect the vehicle.all of the excuses pointed to our inadequate care of the vehicle.on my last visit, they asked if i would like a quote on a new paint job from their body shop.i have seen other complaints on honda web sites and i wonder if there was ever anything done to resolve the situation with this batch of bad paint.honda seems unwilling to rectify the situation or offer any compensation for the paint troubles.
Paint on hood is chipping off and has bubble in center of hood close to windshield.paint is also chipping off in other areas
Paint bubbles and peels on hood,trunk, now roof.company will not fix
Noticed lurching and trasnmission slipping.the car was having difficulty changing gears.next day i had car checked out was advised that transmission fluid was black( burnt) and the motor mount was also weak.the following day i took the car to ed voyles honda for my 45,000 mile/3 yr service.i was then advised by service advisor, jim vartiak, that large metal pieces came out when the trasnmission fluid was being drianed and was a sign of deterioration of the trasnmission.after my service on 10-28-02 i went to work.on my commute back, i heard a loud noise and then the check engine light came on while i was on the expressway.the vehicle was not accelerating well, the gears were not shifting.when i got to my destination i noticed that i was parked .when i put the car in reverse the engine had to be reved up to make the slightest move.it took several minutes to move three feet.the next morning, 10-30-02, the car was driving about 40 mph then sudddenly dropped to 10 mph during a busy hour approx. 7:30 am.at times the honda accord would not even move at all and then it would suddenly jot out.i made it home, but the car is completely immoble the transmission is gone.the worst part is there was no help offered for a resolution.i have made calls and also written to america honda motor co., inc, but i have not yet recieved any response from my. Correspondence.dt
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!!!!!!
Accelerator pedal sticks when applied. Dealer contacted. Ts
First time i received the light 09/18/1999, i went thrugh the driver's manual and followed the instruction.the book told me to tighten up the fuel cap and drive for two to three days.the problem stayed.i contacted the dealer on 09/23/1999 and received the appointment for 09/30/1999.told them about the 'check engine' light. The dealer found code 1146.the dealer reset the code as required then warmed up the car and road test with wide open throttle and release/no code returned.tech inspected primary oxygen sensor and all was okay.i got the car back with instruction that if the code appear again they need to order the primary oxygen sensor.on 10/07/1999 just seven days later i recieved the check engine light. I called the dealer and got the appointment for 10/13/1999.the dealer found the same code p1146, oxygen sensor found faulty and replaced it.i got the same instruction, if the light comes back again please bring it back.i got the check engine light again on 12/22/1999.we went out for christmas weekend.called the dealer on 12/28/1999 and got the appointment for 01/04/2000.this was the third time the car went back to the dealer.the dealer found the same code and told me that it is not worth replacing the oxygen sensor because there are other cars with similar problem and the honda technical support unit is looking into the problem.they did not close the invoice but returned my car saying that there is nothing wrong with the car except one yellow light with "check engine" on it.in march of 2000, i received a letter from the customer service saying they are still looking into the problem with no solutions to this date.they will contact me later.i believe if an automobile is driven with 'check engine' light it could be deangerous if something really goes wrong.is this a safety issue?please look into this matter.i am sure your efforts will not be wasted. I plan to contact the dealer on monday with this issue.thank you: nitin. *
My car was towed while i wss in jail and i cant find it

I have honda accord lx model 1999. I had been experiencing intermittent problem of my car stalling while decelerating. This problem is since last 12-18 months. I have shown this to car dealers multiple times but nothing significant was told to me. Most of the time i am unable to duplicate the problem when at service center but it happens intermittently. Sometimes even on the freeway it stalls during decelerating. Please consider if there is anything that can be done to fix this problem.
Car died as if someone turned the key off. First 5 times it was while slowing down. Last time on 2/7/11 was going 65 mph on freeway and was in the middle lane of traffic when it just quit running as if i turned the key off. It was due to faulty ignition switch. Honda claims that my particular vehicle was not part of a recall for this identical problem, however, many honda's of that year and other years were included in the recall. There was a recall for another part of the ignition system that covered my year and model. That was not the problem.

Experienced in my 1999 honda accord sudden extreme acceleration on 12/14/2009 causing major accident on commack road, commack, ny which involved several cars,car driven from mass. Park, ny to grand street, manhattan to pickup mother-in-law and aide to bring to eye specialist in bethpage, ny, returning her to her home, back to commack for wife's job.i took car to do some shopping, car startedto accelerate on lie side ride, ultimately loosing control.uncertain what injuries occurred, but no deaths!heard of other incidents with hondas, 2005 accord.no injuries.spoke to driver.honda dealership said it was a 'glitch' after test ride.another story, too.
Stopped at a train crossing,i shifted from park to drive to close a 15 ft gap from the car ahead. My car immediately went out of controlaccelerating on its owni pressed the brake & threw it into park but crashed into utility pole.
I was attempting to turn left at a highway intersection and the honda totally stalled andthe 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 incidentthe vehicle totally lost power while at a stop sign in a mall. It took 2 attempts to restart the car. I could not imagine what the problem could possibly be soi researchedthe possible problem and found that this honda had ignition switch problems. I purchased this vehicle in 2007 and it had approximately 121, 200 miles. I checked the papers received when buying the auto and the vehicle was recalled in 2002 due to a defect in the ignition switch. An "ignition switch update" was completed on 10/1/02 at 59,183 miles by an authorized honda dealer. I have had not issues until january 2012. Looks like i will have to replace this switch again butit is too dangerous to not address theproblem. Can'timagine this problem at 70mph .
While driving, consumer has problem accelerating. After contacting dealer, dealer noted that there is a build up of carbon in throttle body. Consumer states when attempting to apply the accelerator it will stick, causing consumer to press harder on the gas to move the vehicle foward or in reverse, which then causes the vehicle to lurch foward at times.
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle began to accelerate without the accelerator pedal being depressed. The driver attempted to use the brakes to slow the vehicle and stated that the steering wheel seized, making it very difficult to steer. The contact mentioned that in order to stop the vehicle, the transmission had to shift into park.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the accelerator was stuck in position. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 189,000.
1999 accord accelerates while parking. Engine revved to 6000 rpm. The consumer experienced sudden acceleration four times each time the vehicle was being parked.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who felt there was nothing wrong with the vehicle therefore no repairs were made.
Consumer states that after starting vehicle you have to push very hard on gas pedal for vehicle to move.vehicle will then jump.dealer contacted.nlm
When the vehicle is started the accelerator sticks in the idle position. Once the vehicle is put in gear, the accelerator won't move unless using extreme force, then it will lunge forward or backward if in reverse.the problem was momentarily fixed by lubricating the throttle body but after 15 to 20,000 miles problem reappears.*jg
Engine hestitates/lurches forward at any speed when using regular unleaded gasoline.problem less frequent when using premium gas, butis causing carbon buildup on throttle body over time, which leads to the acceleratorsticking.local dealer stated they have been aware of this problem. Dealer suggested lower grade gasoline to prevent carbon buildup.dealer offered no explaination why engine is hesitating.
Upon starting the vehicle and moving the gear from the park position to the reverse position, the vehicle accelerated.there was persistent intermittent sudden acceleration, upon shifting after ignition from park. *sc
The contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving in reverse at 3 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently and crashed into another vehicle, and a house before coming to a stop. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a dealer but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 149,000.
The accelerator pedal becomes hard while the vehicle is parked.when the consumer tries to accelerate after coming to a complete stop the vehicle lurches forward.the dealer has been contacted.*mr *nlm
Transmission slips in lower gears. Also lurches forward upon acceleration in all gears.this lurching is often quite severe causing the car to swerve which is incredibly dangerous.
Update toodi 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 powerwhile at a stop sign in a mall. It took 2 attempts to restart car. I could not imaginewhat the problem could possibly be so i researched the possible problemand foundthat this honda had ignition switch problems. Ipurchased 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 dealeron 1/23/12 and told the tech what i thought the problem was. The test showed it wasindeed the ignition switch once again . The cost for replacing was $206. 36.. So, honda's recall in 2002 did notcorrect this defect.
I believe the gas pedal and brake are placed to close together causing rapid accerlation.similar to the 1980 's problem found on the audi 5000.this may have caused the recent accident of the ny nurses who died recently when their car went of the top of the parking garage.

Took vehicle to honda. Wanted to replace throttle body and clean injectors for $305.00.cost contact just to clean it, $45.00. Took it to local garage, and they cleaned the throttle body and linkage and everything was fine.
My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 accord.when i need to accelerate the car "misfires" according to the gresham honda dealership.this is where the car is being serviced.contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503-676-7070.i am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because i never know when my car will misfire.at times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms.basically, there is no acceleration.the check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates.the first two times that the car was taken to the honda dealership the check light did come on.my car is currently on it's 5th stay with honda.they(honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was.hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly.i'd hate to be the cause of an accident.equally as important, i have had a failure with my abs.while there was no accident, i barely stopped at the intersectionwhile brakes locked up on pavement.i have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above.in fact, the honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my accord.i may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number. Thank you for your time,amber weimerskirch.(tiresize: w-10)
While starting upvehicle driver'sfoot was on the brake pedal andvehicle suddenly accelerated. Consumerwas able to maintain control of the vehicle ,and drove it to the dealer for inspection.mechanicdetermined that the thottle body was corroded, and needed to be replaced.
Dt:consumer reports when pressing on the brake pedal, the car lunges forward; and is out of control.in reading other complaints from other consumers, he noticed other similar complaints. The very same day he brought the car home, the car lunged forward at four-way stop and he went through the mid-section. The car revs up at violent pace.
Owner states vehicle suffered sudden acceleration when shifted from park into reverse. Vehicle collided with two others vehicles.please provide further information.*ph
Engine hesitates and sputters at half-throttle.dealer states honda says this is "normal" when ambient temperature of air intake is over 150 degrees.this problem occurs sporadically at a wide temperature range.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed vehicle hesitates and jumps. Tookvehicleto dealer, dealer said, " they will not do anything to the vehicle until engine light illuminated".
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.
Consumer complained about gas pedal problem.it does not move as freely as it should. Consumer has to step on the gas pedal very hard to get the vehicle going when moving from a start position. . this occurs only after the vehicle has been sitting for a while.
When steppingonaccelerator itwill stick without a prior warning. Consumer had to drive toside and turn offengine.then, restarted and acceleratorworked again, and after awhile would stick once again.
Gas pedal sticks when starting the car.must press hard to get car in motion and then quickly let off so car will not go out of control speed wise.usually when car has been setting for a while or cold outside.i feel it is unsafe in parking lots or anywhere people may be walking by car when this has to be done as the car "jumps" and the engin reves up.been doing this for about a year now.giving the last date it occurred.
Accelerator sticks when trying to take off from a complete stop. Happens when slowing down and trying to speed up. Also,happens when at a complete stop.contacted dealer, and the dealer cleanedengine and replacedthrottle. Problem still occurs.
The accelerator pedal became stuck, which caused the vehicle to accelerate faster.
Sticky accelerator in the morning, noted in honda service bulletin jan-2001, can cause sudden acceleration trying to unstick accelerator.
While driving 50 mph accelerator pedal stuck, causing loss of vehicle control, cause unknown. Dealer could not identify cause.please give any further details.
Vehicle accelerated in full throttle, due to the throttle valve sticking, per dealership. *ph
1.)sometimes when i start the car the gas pedal sticks. 2.) while coming to a stop the car shuts off as if the battery died. The battery is fine. 3.)yesterday duiring the day the car would not start, acted as if it wasen't getting any fuel. The gas tank is full.after several attemps and waiting for 15-minutes the car started ok.i have serviced my car as required.
Accelerator pedal sticks when depressed-extremely dangerous!needed to shift to neutral and physically reach down and pull pedal up while travelling at a high rate of speed.thankfully no other drivers were nearby!
While driving on the freeway at 45 my 99 honda accord began to accelorate to uncontrolable speeds, nearing 80-85 mph. I attempted to push the break without luck put the car in neutral and punched the gas peddal as hard as i could for it to release.
Intermittently gas pedal stuck, and therewas a sudden acceleration. Dealer indicated the needto clean and lubricate. The throttle.but, there was no indication in the owner's manual how to lubricate the throttle.
Consumerwas traveling 2mphand accelerator pedal got stuck.whenpushing it down hardervehicle went into a crosswalk, and hit a pedestrian.dealership was aware of problem. Consumer states this is the second time this has happened consumer states the first time it happened was on feb 23, 2001 she hit a vehicle as ahe was trying to accelerate.
The contact has a 1999 honda accord. The gas pedal is very stiffwhen the vehicle is turned off for more than an hour. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who stated the pedal is having a hard time engaging at first and then as the vehicle warms the pedal resets and the pedal works properly. The failure mileage was 50000 and the current mileage was 55000. The vin was unavailable.
Dt: the consumer stated 1999 honda accord i had carbon build up in the throttle, which is resulted in the throttle sticking. Regardless, of how long the vehicle sat, when the consumer gave the vehicle gas, the throttle stuck.it didnot matter if it was inreverse or forward. This problem was intermittent, and has been happening for the past 4 to 5 years. This has been reported this to the dealer. They suggested that she bring it in for a throttle cleaning, which she did. The mechanic from the dealership told her that she would have to have this done again because it would continue to happen. Theconsumer called the dealership and the manufacturer, and they have beenof no help. And often refer her to have the throttle cleaned again at her cost. At this rate, the throttle would have to be cleaned every few months. At this point, the throttle is sticking and needs to be cleaned, but the owner suggested that this should be covered by the manufacturer as a safety improvement or recall.
While accelerating without warning pedal will stick forcing driver to place extra pressure on pedal to undo pedal from being stuck.
Throttle was sticking mostly when vehicle was first started, after it warmed up throttlewas fine. Dealercleaned and lubricated throttle body.
While pulling out of a parking space vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own, driver lost control ofvehicle and hit a wall on the front right side.air bags deployed, but played no part in restraint which was provided by seat belts.honda lease dept has been contacted..et.
Why are all auto manufacturers continuing to produce vehicles in colors of silver, grey and black which all blend in with fog, asphalt, concrete and the dark of night?what a brilliant safety feature.is this so the vehicle has to be replaced often as no one can see them very well?no brainer!
Dt*:the contact stated the horn worked intermittently and was hard to press in certain spots.the dealership re-fitted the horn wires and determined the horn was operating to factory specifications.the repairs did not repair the problem.the accelerator would always stick in the morning.the door locks worked intermittently. The right front window would squeak when going up. The valve cover gasket was replaced. Updated 05/16/06.
The catalytic converter was replaced three times due to deterioration. The trunk latch, timing belt, balancer belt, and the power door actuator were replaced, the parking brake was adjusted, the are rest and axle seal was replaced, the seat belt failed to retract, and the windows rattled. *ph
1999 honda accord: driver's window.less than 60,000 milesusually parked most of the day.driver's window would go down but not up. Was told "due to use - window wire gears stripped.i have never had this occur and drove taurus to 120,000 under same conditions.i could see it if there was more than slight use of the window!!! cost$282 to replace gear. (midwest location)
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!
Right front side passenger window exploded while driving, causing injury to passenger when pieces of glass lodged in face, damage to vehicle following, replacement of windshield necessary. Mjs
Consumer states that the side view mirror on the driver side of the vehicle will start to vibrate at over 75 mph and it gets to the point where the consumer cannot see out of the mirror. Contacted dealer.
The driver's side mirror shakes a lot when at speed (60-70mph, it makes it difficult to see other vehicles since the vibration is quite strong.dealer ignored the problem as being, "a new car".fuel gauge is quite innacurate as well.
I purchased my 1999 honda accord in july 99.i have since experienced a leaking sunroof on the driver's side which is a continuous saftey hazard.i have visited the honda dealer several times and still no solution.i have applied for the lemon law and will go into arbrition in a few days.
Dt*:the contact stated after the vehicle was parked in a parking lot for 6 hours, the back windshield shattered outwards. The contact inspected the vehicle to ensure that it was not vandalized.the glass was cracked into tiny pieces.there was nothing to indicate a foreign object as the cause of the incident. As soon as the vehicle was driven, the glass fell into the cabin of the vehicle on to the back seat.
After getting into vehicle and closing the doorrear windshield shattered for unknown reason.dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.
Driver's front and rear andpassenger's rear tire hadblowouts. They were manufacturedby michelin. Angle of the construction of the windshield causes a glare for a couple of seconds whichresults invisual difficulty, and may cause a crash.please provide further information.
Left turn signal intermittently fails to cancel. Visual distortion in windshield
We heard a loud boom, window "exploded" and completely shattered unexpectedly.mr
Windshield has distortions.there are vertical lines of distortion that are most apparent when looking through the windshield at an angle (i.e. Sitting in the driver's seat and looking through passenger's side of windshield.)this is most distracting when making a right turn.it appears that something is moving in front of the car which isn't, but it also distorts things that are there.dealer says this a known issue and have seen it in other cars, but they will not consider fixing.
While traveling in germany (us army) at safe cruising speeds averaging 100 to 115 mph (normal for germany), the black trim around the windshield came loose on the drivers side from bottom to top and was flapping in the wind.noticed the passanger side trim was also coming loose.depending upon speed, it was hitting drivers window.incident was surprising and could have shocked the driver into an accident.it appears the trim was glued and notched so it could not come loose but left enough hanging over the painted areas to be caught by the wind.appears to have failed.going to see local dealer tomorrow for repair.although my car was bought in md, aafes sells the same honda accord here to the military. Had to use duct tape and reduce speed to make it home without further damage.
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.
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'sthe 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.
