1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BATTERY, ABS AND DOOR LIGHTS SUDDENLY DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CARE WAS DRIVING FINE AFTER THIS BUT ABOUT A MILE LATER, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I NOTICED THE DRIVE BELTS HAD COME OFF. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CONTACTED TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NEAREST LOCATION WITHIN 15MILES. HENCE, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY DESTINATION, THEN EVENTUALLY TOWED TO RICHFIELD-BLOOMINGTON HONDA WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT KEY WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY CAUSING THE PULLEY TO BE WOBBLY FORCING THE BELTS TO COME OFF WHILE DRIVING. BROOKDALE HONDA PERFORMED THE MAINTENANCE REPAIR THAT HAS BEEN LINKED TO THIS INCIDENT SINCE THE CRANK SHAFT BOLT WAS NOT TIGHTENED TO THE RIGHT TORQUE. THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF TECHNICIAN ERROR. *TR

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD IGNITION SWITCH WAS UNDER RECALL AND WAS FIXED IN 2004 HOWEVER AGAIN THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM ALMOST KILLED MYSELF AND TWO CHILDREN WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND STALLED WHILE I WAS GOING 65 MPH. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO RESTART. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THAT AGAIN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS BAD IN MY VEHICLE. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE SAFETY HAZARDS AND FLASHERS ON MY VEHICLE ALSO FAILED SO THERE WAS NO WAY TO WARN ANYONE ON THE ROAD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVER STATED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO INSERT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE DEALER CLEANED AN UNKNOWN COMPONENT ON THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY FOR A SHORT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY LATE LAST NIGHT MY HONDA ACCORD LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED BACK ON IN GEAR. DURING THIS TIME I HAD NO ENGINE POWER. AS I WAS PULLING OFF THE FREEWAY THIS OCCURRED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS. SINCE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES. THE DEALER SEEMED FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND RECOGNIZED IT AS BEING RELATED TO A 2002 RECALL OF THE 1999 ACCORD V6. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE WIRING ASSOCIATED WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN FIXED IN THE RECALL. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *TR
