1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

1999 HONDA ACCORD WHILE DRIVING CAR CUT OFF. I COULD NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE, CAR BEGAN TO COAST UNTIL I COULD PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF SO THAT I COULD PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. ONCE CAR STOPPED, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO MY DESTINATION. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS THE CAR HAS BE HAVING TROUBLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING BUT WOULD IMMEDIATELY RESTART. WHEN CAR WAS AT A PARKED STATUS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME I WOULD NOT ANY PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE. BUT IF THE CAR WAS DRIVEN, PARKED AND THEN RESTARTED THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE RESTARTING AGAIN. I WOULD HAVE TO REPEATEDLY HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GET SERVICED CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE ACCORD WAS TAKEN IN 2002 TO GET REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL 02V120000. THE CAR WAS NOT HAVING PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY. *JB

I CAN ADD ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURE FROM A HONDA ACCORD 1999. THIS CAR HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED TRANSMISSIONS ON HONDA ACCORD FROM 2000 TO 2002. MY TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAKED AT 110,000 MILES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 149,000 MILES FOR $2100. OF COURSE, THE REASON I BOUGHT A HONDA WAS BETTER ENGINEERING. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT I HAVE A FALSE PERCEPTION OF THE HONDA QUALITY. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AND I DON'T THINK AT THIS TIME THAT MY NEXT CAR WILL BE A HONDA AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE GOTTEN UNSOLD ON THEM. BASED ON ALL OF THE OTHER LETTERS I SAW ON THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND THE FACT THESE CARS HAD LOWER MILEAGE, I DON'T THINK I HAVE A PRAYER ON HONDA KICKING IN SOMETHING FOR THE REPAIR. NEXT TIME I BUY A CAR I AM STARTING WITH THESE LETTERS ON CARS AT THIS WEBSITE FIRST!!!! CARS ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE TO HAVE TO SETTLE FOR PROBLEMS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR FELT AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS AT ABOUT 95K MILES, BUT THIS SEEMED VERY EARLY FOR A TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. I GOT THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT, WHICH COST ME ABOUT $1600. FILING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER A FEW YEARS, BUT I RECENTLY HEARD THE 1998 HONDA ACCORDS ARE HAVING A RECALL. MINE IS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. HE TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON JULY 5, 2007 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON JULY 7, 2007, WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF RETRIEVING HIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TWICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DRIVES NORMALLY AND THEN STALLS. HE PULLS THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNS IT OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THEN RESTARTS THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES AND THEN FAILS AGAIN. THE FAILURE BEGAN SIX MONTHS AGO AND OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL # 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). THE CONTACT FELT THAT HER VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED. AS OF JULY 10, 2007, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 109,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL TO START WHEN BATTERY AND ALL OTHE MECHNICALS COMPONENTS WERE NORMAL. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO GARAGES THE PROBLEMWAS NARROWED DOWN TO THE IGNITION SWITCH THATWA S NOT PROPERLY DISABLING IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM. *AK I FOUND OUT THERE IS AN OUTSTANING RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM (RECALL ID FROM NHTSA: 02V120000). HOWEVER, HONDA LIMIT THE RECALL TO A SMALL NUMBER OF VINS AND FAIL TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM FOR MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS.

{NHTSA RECALL 02V120000}. MY VEHICLE EXIBITED THE EXACT SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL, YET HONDA DEALERSHIPS ADVISED MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEREFORE, I HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT. I STILL HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART. HOW CAN I VERY IT IS THE SAME AS THE ONE RECALLED IN ORDER TO GET REIMBURSEMENT.
