1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I AM HAVING ISSUES W/TEMP GAUGE GOING UP AND DOWN , MAY HAVE TO HAVE A BIG ENG, JOB DONE, THIS IS NOT RIGHT, I TAKE VERY GREAT CARE OF MY CARS, NEAVER HAD ISSUES LIKE THIS BEFORE, ? HEATER CORE, , AND PAINT ON THE ROOF!!! WHY THE REST OF CAR IS FINE, LOOKS LIKE SKIN CANCER ,THIS SHOULD BE FIXED!!! I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY ARE REDOING THIS! CAR RUNS OK,, TEMP GAUGE IS A BIG ISSUE 151,000 MILES. GOOD FOR THE YR!!!

AT AROUND 185000 MILES NOW, THIS CAR WHICH WE BOUGHT A FEW YEARS AGO WITH MAYBE 50,000 TO 60,000 LESS MILES STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD BETWEEN 1ST GEAR AND 2ND GEAR. NOW IT SLAMS IN GEAR. FROM ALL WE'VE READ IT IS A DESIGN FLAW REGARDING THE FILTER WHICH COLLECTS TINY METAL PARTICULATES PREVENTING ENOUGH PRESSURE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO PROPERLY AND SMOOTHLY SHIFT. HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND WILL NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS I FIND WHEN READING ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT ONLINE AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME THING. AND THERE ARE SO FEW LEFT OF THESE YEARS THAT HONDA OUGHT TO HAVE NO PROBLEM REPLACING OR REPAIRING THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE STILL DRIVING THESE CARS. I WANT THEM TO REPAIR OR REPLACE OUR TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN FLAW, NOT OUR MISUSE. PLEASE SEE THIS GETS REVIEWED BY A DECISION MAKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BEGAN HEARING UNUSUAL NOISE FROM RIGHT FRONT TIRE AREA WHEN TURNING. UPON INVESTIGATING, DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS WORN EXCESSIVELY AND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SUB-FRAME IS ROTTED OUT. NO OTHER PART OF THE FRAME IS ROTTED ONLY THE RIGHT FRONT. APPARENT CAUSE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHERE THE A/C DRAIN TUBE IS LOCATED DIRECTLY OVER THIS SUB-FRAME AND CAUSES IT TO PREMATURELY RUST AND ROT OUT. I CANNOT GET AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THE SUB-FRAME IS TOO WEAK. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE SUB-FRAME WILL LIKELY FAIL CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A MAIN ST. THE VEHICLE BEEPED AND THE GREEN KEY LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH, THEN ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE BRAKES STOPPED AS WELL. I HAD TO SLAM MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM REAR ENDING AN 18 WHEELER.

CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF TRUNK AREA AND ON THE HOOD AREA SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED 65% OF THE TIME

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, REAR CHAMBER OF FRONT SUBFRAME RUST. REPORTS OF A/C DRAIN RESULTING IN RUST. DRIVER SIDE OF SUBFRAME, NO VISIBLE RUST.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND WAS GOING TO DO MY BRAKES ON IT AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS ROTTED OUT DOE TO WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONER HOSE SITS THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD DUE TO THE MOTOR CAN DROP OUT OR MY NEW DRIVER COULD GET INTO A ACCIDENT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS NO RUST VERY CONCEREND WHY HONDA HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON THIS IT IS ALL OVER UTUBE DUE TO FAILURE OF THIS PART HONDA NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR NOT LOOKING AT THERE VEICHLES PROPERLY YOU SEE IT WHEN YOU DO AN OIL CHANGE SOMEONE IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY GET HURT OR DIE PLEASE HAVE THEM RECLL THIS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL HONDA OWNERS

IN MID TO LATE APRIL 2017 I BEGAN HEARING A CRUNCHING/POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 1999 ACCORD. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUB-FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I HAD NEVER IN MY LIFE HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING TO A CAR. I UNDERSTAND LIVING IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES THERE IS A HEAVY AMOUNT OF SALT PUT ON THE ROADS IN THE WINTER AND CARS RUST, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE OLDER. BUT ACTUALLY BREAKING! I WAS TOLD THE TOTAL REPAIR WOULD COST 2,000 DOLLARS! I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR AS I JUST GOT OUT OF COLLEGE. THUS, I HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. I FIND THIS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL CARS OVER LAST 17 YEARS AND NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN TOLD THE STEEL SUB-FRAME OF YOUR CAR HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND IF YOU DON'T FIX THIS YOU COULD INJURE NOT ONLY YOURSELF BUT OTHERS, NOT TO MENTION YOU'RE CAR COULD BE DESTROYED. I DISCOVERED AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH 1998-2002 HONDA'S IN WHICH THE A/C DRAIN HOSE DRIPS ON THE SUB-FRAME CAUSING IT RUST AND WEAKEN PREMATURELY. I ALSO REALIZE THAT HONDA HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DESIGN FLAW, WHICH IS CONCERNING BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS OUT THERE ON THE ROADS RIGHT NOW. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA DRIVER SINCE 2009 AND HAVE STOOD BY THEM, BUT THIS IS REPREHENSIBLE AND I TRULY HOPE THERE WILL BE SOME KIND OF CLASS ACTION OR SETTLEMENT BROUGHT ABOUT BECAUSE THIS HIT ME HARD FINANCIALLY AND SOURED THE REPUTATION ON WHAT HAS OTHERWISE BEEN A WONDERFUL, WELL MAINTAINED CAR I EXPECT TO GET A FEW MORE YEARS OUT OF.
