1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

RETURNED TO CAR TO FIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE FULLY RECLINED POSITION. IT IS APPARANT THAT THE SEAT/SHOULDER BELT WILL HANG UP ON THE ADJUSTING LEVER OF THE SEAT AND CAUSE IT TO RECLINE OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MINUTES. THE DEALER SHIP WAS TOLD OF THIS ON MARCH 20, 2002. THEY SAID, "THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BELT IS TWISTED." THE INVOICE,NUMBER HOCS256282 STATED THE SEAT BELT WAS UNTWISTED, ON MARCH 22, 2002, I FOUND THE SEAT FULLY RECLINED AGAIN.*AK

WHILE ACCELERATING WITHOUT WARNING PEDAL WILL STICK FORCING DRIVER TO PLACE EXTRA PRESSURE ON PEDAL TO UNDO PEDAL FROM BEING STUCK.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING ENGINE CHECK LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT IS STILL ON.*AK

I BROKE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT TO A STORE. I FELT THE PEDAL PULSATING AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I ENDED UP INTO THE SHOP BRAKING ALL THE GLASS WINDOWS.*AK (TIRESIZE: 205/65 /15)

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SHUT OFF. AFTER TAKING VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP, TECHNICIAN TOLD CONSUMER THAT TRANSMISSION WENT BAD, AND THAT WAS THE REASON VEHICLE SHUT OFF.*AK

EGR VALVE EMISSIONS CONTINOUSLY CLOGS AND NO ONE CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I SPENT $500 AT OTHER MECHANICS UNTIL I WAS FINALLY TOLD TO CALL HONDA.

SEAT TRACK IS BROKEN AND SEAT IS FLOPPING AROUND. THE METAL PIECE THAT ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME HAS BROKEN OFF. WHEN LOOKING AT THE BREAK, OBSERVED METAL SHAVINGS ON FLOOR AND A LOT OF METAL SHAVINGS AT THE POINT OF THE BREAK. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART OR WORKMANSHIP. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAD HAD AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT WOULD NOT HAVE HELD AND I COULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT, THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED AT ALL. OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE PART REQUIRED TO FIX THIS BUT THEY SAID THE PART WAS AROUND $700! I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. I SEE THAT MINE IS THE 4TH COMPLAINT REPORTED TO YOU REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE.

STOPPED AT A TRAIN CROSSING,I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO CLOSE A 15 FT GAP FROM THE CAR AHEAD. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT OF CONTROLACCELERATING ON ITS OWNI PRESSED THE BRAKE & THREW IT INTO PARK BUT CRASHED INTO UTILITY POLE.*AK

AS I LEFT THE AIRPORT PARKING MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT TO 60 MILES AND MY BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. IT CAUSED ME TO GO THROUGH A RED LIGHT I WAS AFRAID TO SHUT IT OFF FOR FEAR IT WOULD ROLL ON ME SO I PUT THE CAR IN N THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AND RACING LIKE A RACE CAR THEN IT SLOWED AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THE BRAKE, BUT WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WENT RIGHT UP TO 45 I HAD ABOUT 15 MILES FROM HOME TO ALL THE WAY HOME IT STAYED AT 45 UNLESS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, THIS HAPPEN AT 2:00AM.*AK
