1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AND IN MOTION, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS AFTER SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. FOR EXAMPLE, ILL BE IN 3RD GEAR (OR ANY GEAR FOR THAT MATTER) AND I HAVE TO STOP AND THEREFORE I SHIFT OUT OF GEAR AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS. ONE TIME, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR TURNING OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4-6 TIMES. IT STARTED EARLY IN 2002 AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IN 2003 THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 4 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE MAROONE HONDA DEALER (BECAUSE I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THEM) TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, THE TECHNICIANS SAY THEY CANT FIGURE IT OUT AND THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF ANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND/OR IF A REMEDY IS KNOWN. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

SEAT FRAME BRACKET FAILURE ON POWER ASSISTED DRIVER'S SEAT. THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF OF THE SEAT BOTTOM BRACKET FAILED, AND APPEAR TO BE DUE TO THE WELD CONDITION OF THE BRACKET. UNDER ACCELERATION THE SILT TILTS BACKWARDS. CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA JUST CLOSED AN INVESTIGATION ON 3/2003 THIS ISSUE AND DECIDED IT DID NOT WARRANT THE USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES, I WEIGH 190 POUNDS, AND DO NOT JUMP INTO AND OUT OF MY SEAT, IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING SAFETY DEFECT.

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EXV6 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING 3 MONTHS AGO. I CALLED MY DEALER AT THAT TIME BECAUSE I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER NOV 2001 FROM HONDA STATING THAT THERE WAS A WARRANY EXTENSION FOR EGR SYSTEM CLOGGING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT HELP MY CASE. NOW AT 70000 I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.I BOUGHT THIS CAR AFTER OWNING A TOYOTA FOR 12 YEARS W/ NO PROBLEMS. TO SAY THE LEAST I AM DISGUSTED.

1999 HONDA ACCORD EX V-6 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAD BEEN NOTICING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH FUEL INJECTION. I WAS COMING BACK FROM A WEEKEND TRIP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY FOR THE 75,000 MILE SERVICE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT DAY IT FAILED THE TRANSMISSION TEST. DEALER SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR. *NLM

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL (#02V120000) PERFORMED.
