1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH REPAIR (RECALL # 02V120000) WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE DEFECT RECURRED. **JB *TS

THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH 02 V 120 000 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD A SALVAGED TITLE. *JB

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES DUE TO DETERIORATION. THE TRUNK LATCH, TIMING BELT, BALANCER BELT, AND THE POWER DOOR ACTUATOR WERE REPLACED, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ADJUSTED, THE ARE REST AND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED, THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT, AND THE WINDOWS RATTLED. *PH *JB

THE VEHICLE DIED DUE TO THE FUEL LINE COMING OFF, WHICH WAS DUE TO THE FAULTY INSTALLATION OF THE GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS SENT A RECALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. SCC

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND LURCHES. REQUESTED DEALER SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT. FLUIDS REPLACED, BUT NO SERVICE PERFORMED. SERVICE MANAGER EVASIVE AND MIS-LEADING. MADE APPOINTMENT FOR ADJUSTMENT, FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE, DEALER DID JUST ONE. FLUID WAS NOT BURNT OR DISCOLORED. PROBLEM PERSISTS. WARRANTY EXTENSION SHOULD BE ORDERED EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 1999 MODEL. *NLM

THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES THEN HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE FRONT BRAKES HAD BROKEN AND THAT THE CALIPERS WERE VERY BAD. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THEY WOULD ONLY CHECK FOR A PROBLEM AT COST. WOULD NOT REPAIR. *NLM

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY INTO GEAR, IT WAS SLOW IN SHIFTING. WHEN EVER THIS HAPPENS, ENGINE WOULD REV UP. *JB

INTERMITTENT STALLING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. ALSO REPLACED TRANSMISSION. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY HONDA ACCORD 99. WITH RESEARCH I FOUND ALOT OF CONSUMERS THAT HAD THE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL IN THEIR ACCORD 99/2000/2001'S. THE 200+ TRANSMISSION WERE UNDER RECALL. I DIRECTLY ASKED HONDA IF THE PART (AUTO TRANSMISSION) WAS THE SAME IN THE 99 ACCORD AS THE 2000 / 2001 WHICH IS UNDER RECALL. THOUGH SEVERAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS I FOUND OUT THAT THE PART (AUTO TRANSMISSION) IS EXACTLY THE SAME IN A 99, 2000 OR 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE HONDA WARRANTY TEAM WOULD NOT ADMIT (AGAIN I DIRECTLY ASKED) THAT THE PART WAS THE SAME. THUS, I AM LEFT WITH HONDA KNOWING THAT 99 ACCORD'S HAVE KNOWN DEFECTIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS THAT FAIL AT ROAD SPEED (ERRATIC SHIFTING). MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON AN INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH ROAD SPEED BY SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER THAT HAD TO GO OFF ROAD TO AVOID MY CAR. I GUESS WHEN THE FATALITIES GROW BIG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A CLASS ACTION SUIT HONDA WILL BE FORCED TO RECALL. *NLM

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. THE DEALER HAD TO DISCONNECT THE ALARM IN ORDER TO DO THE REPAIR. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE ALARM RECONNECTED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT. *NLM *JB
