1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED ON INCLINE. CAR WAS RUNNING, IN NEUTRAL (5 SPEED) FOR UP TO 10 MINUTES BEFORE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL. UNFORTUNATELY, IT ROLLED INTO THE LAKE. I WAS TOWING A JETSKI, AND RETRIEVING IT FROM THE BOAT RAMP. *AK

STEERING RESPONSE APPEARS NON-LINEAR AROUND CENTER, VEHICLE WONDERS LATERALLY AND IS GETTING WORSE. *AK

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. *AK

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. *AK

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

BRAKES CONTINUALLY FAIL WHEN FIRST APPLIED, NECESSARY TO REAPPLY TO STOP VEHICLE, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES. MJS

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 MAG ARTICLE I READ. ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO SECURE THIS SEAT ANY BETTER??? THANKS. *AK

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.

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 COMPANY WAS 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 REPLACEMENT VEHICLE TO PLACE ME IN. I'M NOT REALLY HAVING A CHOICE. I ENDED UP GETTING A VEHICLE THAT I REALLY DIDN'T WANT. HAVING A 1996 ACCORD VEHICLE 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.

WHEN BEGINNING TO BRAKE GOING DOWN HILL, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP IN TIME, DRIVER REAR ENDED A STANDING VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED ON A DRY ROAD SURFACE. *AK *ML
