1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 35-40 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND CONTINUED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENT. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THERE WAS A PRIOR RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH). THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL DEFECT. HOWEVER, THE REMEDY REPAIR WAS INSUFFICIENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 SOUTH BOUND ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR (1999 HONDA ACCORD) STALLED, IMMEDIATELY I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND MOVED TO THE SHOULDER, I REALIZED THIS WAS AN ISSUES WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH. I COULD HOLD THE IGNITION KEY AND DRIVE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HE TOOK ME TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. HE GAVE ME TEMPORARY FIX THAT WOULD GET ME HOME AND I COULD TALK TO MY HONDA DEALER. THE ISSUE IS IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IF WAS FIXED (NEXT MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY RECALL WAS FIXED) WHY DID IT OCCUR AGAIN. WAS THE FIX DONE DURING THE RECALL WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH? IS THERE A REALLY AN PROBLEM WITH IGNITION SWITCH? I HAD THE CAR FIXED AT THE DEALER AGAIN. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 75 MILES AN HOUR - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED - ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED AND CAR DIED...BARELY MADE IT TO SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT. CAR WAS TOWED, DIAGNOSIS WAS BAD IGNITION SWITCH. I JUST SEARCHED WEB AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2002. *TR

I OWN A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. IT WILL PERIODICALLY STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF SOME SORT BECAUSE SOME OF THE DASH LIGHTS GO OUT AND IT JUST QUIETLY STALLS. THIS HA HAPPENED IN TOWN, IN INTERSECTIONS, ON THE HIGHWAY...IT IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WITH NO PATTERN. MY MECHANIC SAYS HE CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I FOUND A DESCRIPTION OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT SAID IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE IGNITION. *TR

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN ITSELF WHEN RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON THE STREET ROADS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 95 IN MARYLAND THE ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND THE MECHANICS I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 4 CYLINDER 4 DOOR 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT REASON IN JUNE OF 2009. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES. EACH TIME THEY RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE LIGHT WILL THEN TURN OFF WITHOUT ILLUMINATING THE CAUSE. SHORTLY AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALER, THE LIGHT WILL TURN BACK ON. THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ON. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES. IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT THEY HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE SEATBELTS BUT NOT THE AIRBAGS. THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN USED. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. THIS WILL COST CLOSE TO $1000. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. EVEN IF I CHOOSE TO START REPLACING THE UNIT, IT WON'T GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED. THEY DON'T KNOW THE REASON THAT THE SRS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT SHOULD BE HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T CAUSED BY ME, THE CONSUMER. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF INTERNET SITES WITH CONSUMERS JUST LIKE ME COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. A LINK TO ONE IS HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2001/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/SRS_LIGHT_IS_ON.SHTML PLEASE MAKE HONDA DO THE RIGHT THING AND KEEP THEIR PATRONS SAFE. *TR
