1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY HONDA ACCORD LX 4DR 1999 MODEL HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT GO LITTLE UPSLOPE ON REVESE GEAR. I FOUND LOT OF COMPLAINT ON THE WEB ABOUT REVERSE GEAR SLEEPING GOING UPSLOPE.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS SLOW TO ENGAGE FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP WHILE UP SHIFITING, CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL AND THEN JERK INTO GEAR. WHEN DOWN SHIFITING, THE CAR WOULD STALL WHEN SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECVTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HONDA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON THE 2000/01 MODEL YEARS WHICH HAVE THE SAME V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, BUT NOT ON THE 99 HONDAS.

VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING ON DASHBOARD. *MR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND JUST TURN THE LIGHT OFF. A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONSUMER MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP.*AK WHEN CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAG AND REEL WOULD HAVE TO BEEN REPLACED AT ESTIMATE OF $873.90 TO REPAIR. AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA, THEY AGREED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. ON NOVEMBER 13, THE CONSUMER HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED. TWO WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONSUMER SOLD THE VEHICLE IN FEAR OF SOMETHING HAPPENING. *PH

JUST PRIOR TO A CELLULAR PHONE RINGING, THE CAR MAKES CLICKING AND BUZZING NOISES WHICH SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASH IN THE AREA OF THE FUSE BOX. ONCE THE CELL PHONE IS ANSWERED, THE CLICKING AND BUZZING NOISES STOP. *JB

WHEN TEMPERATURE REACHES UNDER 32F, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, THE CAR WAS WARMED UP, AND AFTER DRIVING 1/2 MILE, THE CAR SHUT-DOWN AND WON'T RESTART. *AK PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE THE FUEL PUMP, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, HE HAS KNOWN OF AT LEAST 20 ACCORDS FROM THE SAME MODEL 98-02, WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AND IT ALL WAS TRACED TO THE SAME MANUFACTURER WHO MADE THE FUEL PUMPS.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED MORE THAN TWENTY TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NLM

WHILE AT SLOW SPEED THE TRANSMISSON PAUSED AND KICKED FORWARD ON A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WITH ONLY 78,000 PLUS MILES. *LA

THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK AND CAR KEY FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE DRIVER HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE BETWEEN THE TWO SEATS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY FAILED. *AK THE FAILED PART IS AVAILABLE. *NLM

TRANSMISSION FAILURE: HARSH SHIFTING. CAR WOULD REV AND HAVE TROUBLE ENGAGING INTO GEAR FROM TO GEAR. HIT THE GAS PEDAL, BUT CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE . VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS!! ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. *LA
