1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

DASH LIGHTS OUT. I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR HONDA ACCORD SEDANS MODELS FROM 2000-01. MINE IS A 1999.

1999 HONDA ACCORD - 63K MILES - TRANSMISSION FAILED. TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED ABOUT 5K00MILES BEFORE FAILURE DESPITE NOT BEING RECOMMENDED BY HONDA. HONDA WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPLACEMENT.*AK

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY 6 CYLINDER 1999 HONDA ACCORD FAILED AT AROUND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES EVEN WITH SCHEDULED FLUID REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA OF AMERICA THAT 2000-2002 ACCORDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WERE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THAT MY CAR DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY RE-BUILT AT MY EXPENSE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

TRANSMISSION ON MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS BEEN SLIPPING FOR QUITE SOME TIMES. I AM THE SECOND OWNER, HAVING BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE COMPANY I WORKED FOR. PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, WITH MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES. MY TRANSMISSION IS NOW OUT COMPLETELY; WHEN IT WENT OUT, MY 4 YEAR OLD SON AND I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME, IN REVERSE. NOW I AM STRANDED AT MY HOME IN THE COUNTRY, 20 MILES FROM TOWN. I AM A SINGLE FATHER AND I NOW HAVE TO RELY ON MY PARENTS TO TAKE ME PLACES AS I CURRENTLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $4-$5K TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE RECALL WAS ONLY DONE TO THE YEAR 2000 VEHICLES WHEN IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PREVELANT IN THE 1999 MODELS AS WELL. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, SRS AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK ALL THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PAY FOR THE DOOR LOCK REPAIR. THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART BUT WANTED THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THE LABOR. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THEY SHOULD PAY THE TOTAL EXPENSE. *NM

1999 HONDA ACCORD, EX V6, 79K MILES, BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED AND ONLY SERVICED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS. ORIGINAL OWNER WAS MY FATHER (PHILIP GARRAFFA) WHO LEASED THE VEHICLE; I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE END OF THE LEASE - I KNOW IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO EXCESS WEAR AND TEAR. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING (STEPPING ON THE GAS), THE ENGINE WILL 'REV', CAR WILL NOT MOVE INTO GEAR, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL SLAM INTO GEAR AND JERK FORWARD. THANKFULLY THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT A HIGHER SPEED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SHIFT PROPERLY FROM THE FIRST TO THE SECOND GEAR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR RESTART AFTER PUSHING IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT START LATER IN THE DAY. HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST AUTO SHOP. SHOP INFORMED ME OF RECALL. CONTACTED NEAREST DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SHOP REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AND NEEDED TO REPROGRAM KEYS, RESULTING IN $700 BILL.*AK

1999 HONDA ACCORD REBUILT TRANSMISSION. *MR THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY BEFORE THE 36K MILE WARRANTY RAN OUT. *SC *JB
