1998 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THROTTLE BODY PULLEY. THE PULLEY FOR THE THROTTLE USES TWO CABLES, EACH ANCHORED IN THE PULLEYS. THE ANCHORING AREA FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE HAS BROKEN, POSSIBLY FROM CORROSION. THE SAME MATERIAL AND ASSEMBLY ALSO IS FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SO THIS BREAK IN THE PULLEY COULD ALSO MEAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK. BROKEN PART IS THE THROTTLE BODY PULLEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD LX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SUNROOF DETACHED FROM HER VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DID NOT STOP TO INSPECT IF THE SUNROOF CAME IN CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURERS RECALL FOR THE SUNROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN NOTICING THAT IT HAS BEEN SHIFTING ROUGH OR LIKE IT HAS LOST POWER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND AFTER STOPS OR ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT'S LOST POWER AND THEN LUNGES FORWARD. O ALSO JUST GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH THE ERROR CODE FOR THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO GIVE THE VEHICLE TOO MUCH THROTTLE DO TO THE LACK OF POWER WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. AND DUE TO THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION A PERSON WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER IS SAYING TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION. $3000.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 03V423000 WHICH DEALS WITH THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM STALLING PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. AFTER THE REPAIR THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF FOR A FEW HOURS AND WAS DIFFICULT TO START AFTER 3 TO 4 ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107000.

I OWN A 1998 HONDA ACCORD AND I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WHERE MY CAR COMPLETELY CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. JUST RECENTLY, THIS PAST SUNDAY TO BE EXACT, MY CAR CUT OFF 3 TIMES IN TRAFFIC WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN MY CAR SHUTS OFF, I LOSE ALL POWER AND MY DASH BOARD GOES BLACK (NOT 1 LIGHT IS LIT). I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OFF TRAFFIC SAFELY, SO I CAN PLACE MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. MY CAR RESTARTS WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT MY CAR ALSO DIES/CUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I CONTACTED HONDA TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL #02-031 BUT THEY SAID THAT IT WAS PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH INTERLOCK RECALL#03-088. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON MY CAR IS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN BECAUSE I FEEL THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL#02-031 AND HONDA SHOULD ABSORB THE COST.IF ALL ELSE FAILS I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF, TO AVOID BEING SERIOUSLY HURT OR INJURING SOMEONE ELSE. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I AM CONSTANT WORRYING ABOUT "WILL MY CAR CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT". I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION BECAUSE LIVES ARE BEING ENDANGERED. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V120000, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLED. HE WAS UNABLE TO GIVE AN APPROXIMATE SPEED AND HE WAS ALSO UNAWARE IF ANY SERVICE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. UPON RESTART THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DRIVE AS NORMAL. THIS FAILURE BECAME INTERMITTENT AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 180,000.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE GOT SHUT, STEERING GOT COMPLETELY LOCKED (CAN'T DO ANY LEFT-RIGHT). THE KEY LIGHT GOT ON. ALL OTHER LIGHTS WERE OFF. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND MY CAR. ELSE I WOULD HAVE MET SEVERE ACCIDENT. I STOPPED THE CAR, RESTARTED IT, AND REACHED HOME SAFELY. I AM SCARED NOW TO DRIVE ANYMORE. *TR

1998 HONDA ACCORD STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. DASH LIGHTS FLASH FOR A BRIEF INSTANT AT SAME TIME ENGINE STALLS AND YOU CAN HEAR ALL THE DASHSWITCH RELAYS FIRING. THIS CAR HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS APPEARED TO BE THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR HAD THE RECALL REPAIR DONE A FEW YEARS AGO. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH WAS FAILING. I PAID OVER $245 FOR A 3RD IGNITION SWITCH TO BE INSTALLED. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN AS IT CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING, INCLUDING "FREEWAY DRIVING" AND CAUSE THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE YET THE DEALER WAS UNABLE, EACH TIME, TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS.
