1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE STEERING KNUCKLE BROKE, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, YET HONDA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS ONLY WEEKS OLD. *AK

ONGOING / INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE HESITATING; WHENEVER PULLING INTO A INTERSECTION OR FROM A STOP POSTION IT APPEARS AS IF IT WOULD STALL, BUT DOES'NT. DEALER NOTIFED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THAT TYPE VEHICLE. IT WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. CAN NHTSA PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER BEFORE THIS CAUSE A VEHICLE COLLISON. *AK

CONSUMER HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR AT 70MPH, AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, WHILE THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DID DEPLOY. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

WHILE PARKING VEHICLE WHEELS HIT THE CURB. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. HAD NOTIFIED DEALER & MANUFACTURER. WS INFORMED IT WAS NORMAL TO HIT RAISED OBJECTS AND /OR TO DEPLOY AIR BAGS. *AK

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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROX 65 MPH WAS CLIPPED IN REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH THREW CONSUMER'S VEHICLE ONTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN SLOWER LANE. UPON IMPACT, NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *AK

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

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.

CONSUMER REARENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A 40-45 MPH. UPON IMPACT ,DUAL AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY, CAUSING DRIVER TO SUSTAIN HEAD/BACK ,AND NECK INJURIES. DRIVER HAD SEATBELT ON. *AK
