1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY HONDA ACCORD EX 1999 ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WITH IN 2MILES OF THE PLACE IT WAS STARTED. IF YOU LET IT WARM UP IT WILL RUN FINE. HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS 12 TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE LOSES COMPLETE POWER PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. OCCASIONALLY, IT TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES OR OVER AN HOUR FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA CENTER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

IN 2002 - 2004 MY 1999 HONDA, ACCORD HAD A RECALL TO REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH, VEHICLE COULD STALL IN TRAFFIC CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED BY HONDA IN 2004. DECEMBER 2008, MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD JUST SHUTS OFF, AFTER A FEW MINUTES RESTARTS. THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF STARTS TO GET MORE FREQUENT, SO I TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO REPLACES THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FIXED FOR NOW. APPARENTLY HONDA DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST RECALL. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD IS CONTINUALLY ON. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT IS ON. COST OF THE "DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR" IS OUTRAGEOUS. *TR

IGNITIONS SWITCH WAS REPLACED DUE TO CAR RANDOMLY STALLING ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISIONS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO SAFELY REMOVE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMED ME THAT THE IGNITIONS SWITCH HAD BEEN RECALLED HOWEVER THE IGNITIONS SWITCH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE SEVERAL YEARS AGO UNDER THIS RECALL AND ANY REPAIR WOULD BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. REPAIR INVOICE IS AVAILABLE AS CAN VERIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM BY THE REPAIR SHOP WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS REPEATED PROBLEM ILLUSTRATES FAILURE ON HONDA TO RESOLVE THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH PRESENTS AN IMMEDIATE TREAT TO LIFE OF ALL OWNERS OF THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AFFECTED BY THE ORIGINAL RECALL AND ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATED BY THE NHTSA. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PULLING INTO A 7/11 PARKING LOT. CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT AND FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. INSURANCE DECLARED TOTAL LOSS. *TR

MAIN RELAY PROBLEMS I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 99 HONDA ACCORD LE COUPE - 6 CYLINDER AUTOMATIC. ONCE I GOT THE CAR HOME I FOUND THAT THE CAR HAD A STARTING PROBLEM. EARLY MORNING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS COOL THE CAR WOULD START FINE. AFTER SITTING IN THE SUN ALL DAY WHILE AT WORK THE CAR WOULD FAIL TO START. OPENING THE DOORS AND LETTING THE INTERIOR HEAT DROP WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. WITH NO SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER OTHER THAN LOOKING AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR HONDA HARD STARTING PROBLEM... I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT GAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING AND DIRECTED TO HOW TO REPAIR THE MAIN RELAY. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AS THEY EXPLAINED AND RE-SOLDERED 5 CONNECTIONS ON THE PRINTED CIRCUIT OF THE MAIN RELAY... SINCE THAT TIME THE HONDA WILL START IN ANY TYPE OF WEATHER. JUST SEEMS ODD AFTER SEARCHING THE FORUMS AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I WAS HAVING AND NOBODY HAS SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS... SOME SEARCHING TURNED UP A PROBLEM RESOLVE... NOW YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM AND HONDA SERVICE CENTERS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE MINE.... DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE THE ACCORD AND CAN LIVE WITH SOME OF THE PROBLEMS BUT AS A CUSTOMER I EXPECT THAT HONDA WOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND BY THE DESCRIPTION THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT THEY THINK IT IS AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE....I'M NOT CHASING A RECALL... I SIMPLY WANT MY CAR TO START WHEN I TURN THE KEY... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER IT WAS SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED CONSISTENTLY FOR THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST FOR REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ANY SPEED MY CAR MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. SOMETIMES IT OCCURS DURING A TURN, OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 30-45 MPH. IT THEN WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. *TR
