1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I JUST PURCHASED A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EXV6 COUPE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO KEPT EXCELLENT RECORDS ON THE SCHEDULED MAINTAINCE ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY MANUAL. THE COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS FAILING WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE READ WHERE THE HONDA RECALLED 16000 ACCORDS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND REPLACED THEM ON 2000 AND 2001 ACCORDS. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO SKIP THE 1999 PROBLEMS? SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. LARRY WEINSTEIN. *AK

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THAT THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE CAUSES THE TIRES TO BREAK LOOSE CAUSING THE CAR TO LOOSE TRACTION AND WHEN THE TIRES REGAIN THEIR GRIP ON THE ROAD THE CAR DARTS OUT INTO TRAFFIC. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING ON A 1999 HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR. THERE IS SEVERE JERKY MOTION BETWEEN SHIFTS. ALSO WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD VIOLENTLY WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE DOUBLE GEAR SHIFT. MY FAMILY OWNS THE 4 DOOR VERSION OF THE CAR ALSO, WHICH DOES NOT HAVE SUCH SYMPTOMS. OUT OF 7 PEOPLE I KNOW WHO ALSO OWNS THE ACCORD, 3 PEOPLE HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS TO DATE. HONDA CLAIMS THAT SINCE IT DOES NOT OCCUR WITH "MANY" OF PRODUCTION CARS, IT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! *AK

1999 HONDA ACCORD V6, TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 2000 THROUGH 2002 HAD WARRANTIES EXTENDED.

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE IGNITION AND STALLING PROBLEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT A FEW DAYS AFTER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *LA AS THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE DIED. THE IGNITION WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY. *SC *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT GAS PEDAL PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT MOVE AS FREELY AS IT SHOULD. CONSUMER HAS TO STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL VERY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE GOING WHEN MOVING FROM A START POSITION. . THIS OCCURS ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. *AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. BUT, DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX SEDAN. IT CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000 MILES ON IT, AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE VEHICLE HAS REQUIRED A NEW TRANSMISSION @ 55,000. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IS MENTIONED ON MANY INTERNET FORUMS. THE COST OF REPLACING THIS TRANMISSION IS RATHER SUBSTANTIAL. THE 00-01 MODELS HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HONDA ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR 7 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE 1998-1999 MODELS WERE LEFT OUT EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE THE SAME GENERATION VEHICLES. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES DUE TO TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. I HOPE SOME ACTION CAN BE TAKEN TO HAVE THE WARRANTY EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE 1998 TO 1999 HONDA ALSO.

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. CONSUMER STATED THAT MANY 1999 HONDA ACCORDS HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURES AT 60000 MILES. *AK

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1999 HONDA ACCORD (PURCHASED NEW) WITH 57,400 MILES. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HILL IN WET BUT NOT RAINY CONDITIONS, MY BRAKES FAILED. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR & I LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES BACK UP AND THERE WERE NO BRAKE INDICATOR OR WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME ON. IT WAS NOT AN ABS ACTIVATED SYSTEM BECAUSE THE PEDAL SIMPLY FELL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR APPROX. 30 MINUTES, FULL BRAKING POWER RETURNED. THERE WAS ALSO A BURNING SMELL, WITH A FOUL ODOR. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP, NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A ONE-TIME OCCURRANCE. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER (THIS IS THE 5TH HONDA I HAVE OWNED & I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM) THE DEALER GAVE TWO REASONS FOR LOSS OF BRAKES/PEDAL TO THE FLOOR: LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID (MINE WAS FINE) OR A PROBLEM WITH THE INTERNAL SEAL IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE DEALER REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED THE WHOLE SYSTEM. THE CAR HAS RATHER LOW MILEAGE & HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. MY CHILD & HIS FRIEND WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. THERE WAS NO CRASH AS I USED THE E-BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A SLOW STOP (IT TOOK APPROX. 1BLOCK) AND I WAS ONLY TRAVELING APPROX. 30 MPH. *AK
