1998 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS GETTING RUSTY AND I CAN SEE A LOT OF WATER DRAINING FROM THE AC SYSTEM ON IT. I THINK IT MIGHT FAIL AND CAUSE A MAJOR ISSUE. MY CAR IS NOT RUSTY, IT IS IN A GREAT SHAPE FOR THE AGE. THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS RUSTED SO BAD IS THAT AREA. HONDA'S BAD DESIGN THAT MAKES THE AC WATER DRAIN PLUG DUMP INTO THE SUBFRAME MADE THAT PROBLEM HAPPEN.

I BOUGHT THIS 1998 HONDA ACCORD AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY MY CAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE RECALLS FOR THIS NO WARNING CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO START UP AND THEN CONTINUE TO CUT OFF I HAVE REPLACED FUEL PUMP DISTRIBUTOR FULL TUNEUP AND NEXT MY IGNITION COIL WHICH IS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR HONDA ACCORD AND THIS CUT OFF PROBLEM SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR MY SAFETY BECAUSE I OWN THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND CONCERN OF THE RECALLS ON MY CAR PLEASE. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR THE NEXT DAY I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS OFF UNTIL I REALIZE I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND STEERING GOT HARD AND TRAFFIC WAS YELLING AT ME FROM THEIR VEHICLES AND I WAS SCARED PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF FREEWAY.AND AS OF TODAY IT DOES IT MORE FREQUENTLY AND TAKE LONGER TO START BACK UP THAN IT DID WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR SO I THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT MY VIN NUMBER FOR THIS CAN'T BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER THIS UNSAFE RECALL THAT MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN ONTHIS RECALL PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY IM NOT INCLUDED AND THAT'S NOT OK.

MY CAR'S ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 M/H IN THE FREEWAY AND REGULAR ROAD. ALSO I COULDN'T RE START MY CAR RIGHT A WAY. IT IS HAPPENING MORE WHEN IS HOT DAYS THAN COLD DAYS. WHEN I TURN TO IGNITION SIDE NOTHING HAPPENED AND IT'S SO HARD TO SEE REGULAR LIGHTS INCLUDING AIRBAG AND ENGINE LIGHT ETC. I ALMOST GOT GET INTO ACCIDENT COUPLE TIME DURING AT NIGHT CAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET MY ENGINE TURN ON MIDDLE OF STREET. IF THIS WERE ONE OR TWO TIME INCIDENT I WOULDN'T REPORT BUT AS SUMMER IS GETTING CLOSER IT IS GETTING WORST. NOW I AM GETTING AFRAID OF WHEN I COULD GET HIT AND I CAN'T GET INTO FREEWAYS. PLEASE CHECK ON IT. I WILL TRY TO MAKE SOME KIND OF RECORDING.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. WILL RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES.

CLEAR COAT BEGAN PEELING BACK IN 2005 AND I DEALT WITH IT UNTIL 2007 AND HAD SOMEONE REPAINT THE ENTIRE CAR FOR $900. 8 YEARS LATER, THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING. MUST BE THE METAL THAT HONDA USED ON THEIR CARS. IT IS VERY ANNOYING TO SAY THE LEAST. I SEE IT ON SEVERAL HONDA ACCORDS FROM THE SAME GENERATION.

THE IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY. THE CAR WILL RUN AND SUDDENLY CUT OUT AND HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING. MOST OTHER MODELS OF ACCORDS MANUFACTURED IN THIS TIMEFRAME WERE COVERED UNDER AN IGNITION RECALL IN 2002. I OWNED A DIFFERENT ACCORD IN 2006 THAT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD BY A HONDA DEALER MY PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL, MY SON WAS TURNING ON NORTH COOK STREET AND WAS IN A CAR WRECK ANOTHER CAR. THE IMPACT WAS SO BAD BUT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T EVEN COME OUT TO HELP HIM AS THEY WAS PUT IN THE CAR TO DO!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 259,000.

CAR RANDOMLY STALLS OR LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING, ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART IT JUST FINE

AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE BRAKES, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. IT WAS A HUGE SURPRISE AS THE CAR HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND DOES NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT RUST ON ANY OTHER LOCATION. I WAS TOLD THAT ANY POT HOLE OR LARGE BUMP COULD HAVE BROKEN THE FRAME AND COMPLETELY DISLODGED THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE THAT CAUSED ISOLATED RUSTING ON AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE FRAME.
