1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

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 CAR HAD ONLY 110K MILES. APPARENTLY, IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE DESIGN. *TR

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. *TR

1999 HONDA ACCORD 4DR AT WITH 77K MILES. WITHOUT WARNING, CAR STALLED WHEN DECELERATING ON FREEWAY OFF RAMP. "MAINT REQ" LIGHT CAME ON. POWER DOOR LOCKS CLICKED UP AND DOWN. ABLE TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP. CAR RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER, WHEN LEAVING MY WORKPLACE PARKING LOT, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 1 BLOCK, FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH. SAME SYMPTOMS -- MAINT REQ LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS CLICKED UP AND DOWN. RESTARTED CAR RIGHT AWAY. LOCAL MECHANIC COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE, BUT SUGGESTED REPLACING IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED. I HAD HIM PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT, EVEN THROUGH IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL IN SEPT 2005 WHEN CAR HAD ABOUT 35K MILES. *TR

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. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER HE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS REPOSITIONING THE KEY. ONCE HE GOT THE VEHICLE STARTED HE DROVE TO THE DEALER BUT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE HONDA MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 224,000.

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! *TR

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED UNDER RECALL. AFTER THE CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD AGAIN AND WOULD NOT REPLACE AGAIN UNDER RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. AFTER PAYING DEALER THE CAR WAS FIXED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR THIS AS IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

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. *TR

YOUR JOB IS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC NOT HONDA....RECALL WAS IN 2002. *TR
