1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

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).

TL* 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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 TL TIRES, SIZE: P195/65/R15H (NA). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING A STATE INSPECTION, IT FAILED DUE TO CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TIRES HAD CRACKS. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,400 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD AND I JUS PAID TO GET FRONT HEADLIGHT WIRE REPLACED BECAUSE I COULD NOT USE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ONLY HIGH BEAM. LIGHT IS WORKING NOW BUT THERE IS A SUSPENSION AND/OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I NEED TO CHECK. THE HEAT/AIR DOESNOT COME ON? IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?

OIL IS POURING OUT THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. OIL ALSO FILLED THE RADIATOR OVERFLOW. THE PROBLEM IS A POROUS ENGINE CASTING. THIS CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO SIEZA AS IT LOSES OIL QUITE RAPIDLY. IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THERE ARE MANY REPORTED CASES OF THIS ONLINE, BUT HONDA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. A NEW ENGINE IS REQUIRED. WHILE THIS IS AN OLDER CAR IN YEARS, THE MILEAGE IS LOW FOR A HONDA OF ITS AGE AND FOR ANY HONDA FOR THAT MATTER AND A PROBELM THAT REQUIRES AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE IS UNACCEPTABLE. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING.

I WAS DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED OF 15 MPH ON 11/21/14. I TAPPED A CURB IN A PARKING LOT AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AN OFFICER WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND WAS ALSO SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY FRONT-END DAMAGE OR WITH SUCH A SLIGHT IMPACT. A MECHANIC ALSO VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS NO UNDER-CARRIAGE DAMAGE AND WAS ALSO PUZZLED AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. WE CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA WHO WAS NOT ONLY RUDE BUT WAS NOT THE LEAST BIT HELPFUL. WE ARE HOPING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE VAST RECALL OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE. DUE TO THE AGE OF OUR CAR, WE DROPPED THE COLLISION COVERAGE AND THE AIRBAGS WERE CONSIDERED TO BE COVERED UNDER COLLISION. WE ARE NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME HAD EXCESSIVE RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED DUE TO THE AIR CONDITIONING HOSE LEAKING. THE SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

1999 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 DIDN'T PASS INSPECTION DUE TO RUSTED SUBFRAME. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE ITS A DESIGN FLAW. WATER FROM AIR CONDITIONER DRIPS ONTO SUBFRAME. SINCE THE VALUE OF THE CAR IS THE SAME AS THE COST OF REPAIR, I HAVE TO GET RID OF THE CAR SINCE I CANT SEE SPENDING THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A. *TR
