I HAVE HONDA ACCORD LX MODEL 1999. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF MY CAR STALLING WHILE DECELERATING. THIS PROBLEM IS SINCE LAST 12-18 MONTHS. I HAVE SHOWN THIS TO CAR DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NOTHING SIGNIFICANT WAS TOLD TO ME. MOST OF THE TIME I AM UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN AT SERVICE CENTER BUT IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES EVEN ON THE FREEWAY IT STALLS DURING DECELERATING. PLEASE CONSIDER IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

REPEATED BATTERY FAILURE. *PH THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM MAY BE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE A SOUND WAS HEARD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *CB

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD'S LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING WITHOUT NOTICE. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THEN THEY WILL JUST TURN OFF. I HAVE CHECKED THE BULBS, AND THE BULBS ARE STILL NEW. I HAVE BOUGHT MANY SETS OF BULBS, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS JAPANEESE MADE ACCORDS, AND AMERICAN CIVICS. MY ACCORD WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN.

CAR PAUSES THEN SURGES FORWARD WILE ACCELERATING AT LOWER SPEEDS DUE TO DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, PROBLEM IS CONSTANT - HAPPENS EVERYTIME.*AK
