ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT NORTH LOOP 1604 WEST ON 9/26/09, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD TO SIT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND STRUGGLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND HOPE NO ONE CAME BEHIND ME. WHILE DRIVING ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, THE ENGINE STALLED OUT OF THE BLUE. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 6 TIMES PER DAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON BUSY CITY STREETS. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE EXTREME STRESS AND FEAR FOR MINE AND OTHERS' SAFETY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS VEHICLE WILL JUST STOP ON ME. THIS EXACT ISSUE IS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V120000. I CALLED HONDA AND WAS TOLD BY ON OPERATOR THAT THERE IS NO SUCH ISSUE WITH THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, YET I FOUND OVER 15 RECALLS ON THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD BY SEARCHING THE NHTSA WEBSITE. WHILE IT MAY BE TRUE THAT NOT ALL OF THOSE RECALLS MAY APPLY TO THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD THAT I DRIVE, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V120000 IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, A RECALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS COMPLETED IN 2002 FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM. NHTSA #02V120000 THE VEHICLE IS NOW EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, I CONTACTED HONDA USA ON 08/11/2009 TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPAIR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR A RECALLED ITEM ONCE. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH IS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND CREATES A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION, I WOULD HOPE NHTSA WOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO HONDA'S LACK OF CONCERN FOR THEIR PARTS AND REPAIRS. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 99 HONDA ACCORD COUPE AND HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CAR FAILING TO START IN CERTAIN TYPES OF WEATHER AND THE LONGER I'VE HAD THE CAR THE MORE THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED AND IT IS NOW STALLING WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, INCLUDING YESTERDAY WHEN I HAD MY 4 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY WHO KNOWS THE DAMAGE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE BEEN ON HONDA'S WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE RECALLS AND MINE HAVE BEEN FIXED LONG BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I AM STILL HAVING THE PROBLEMS I'VE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SEEM TO BE VERY UNWILLING TO HELP ME FURTHER AND SO I AM STUCK AT THIS POINT WITH A VEHICLE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE I'D BE PUTTING MYSELF, MY DAUGHTER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN DANGER. I'VE RECENTLY FOUND THE WEBSITE CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND UNDER ELECTRICAL COMPLAINTS I WAS BAFFLED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER THEIR RECALL HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF ALSO, AND THAT WAS ONLY ONE WEBSITE. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE JABS IN THE DARK REPLACING PARTS THAT DON'T NEED REPLACED ESPECIALLY AFTER I'VE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TWICE NOW (NOT CHEAP). I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WONDER WHETHER OR NOT A CAR THAT IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND UNDER 100,000 MILES IS GOING TO START OR NOT. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT WILL MOVE SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE HELP FROM ANYONE ELSE. I FEEL THAT THIS CASE SHOULD BE REOPENED AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO MAKE HONDA RESPONSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

MY CAR BEGAN QUITTING WHILE DRIVING MAY 2009, HOWEVER, IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY START AGAIN. 06/2009-7/2009 WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE IGNITION, THE DASHBOARD WOULD FLICKER. AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE CAR WOULD START BUT THEN QUIT. ON 8/4/2009, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR QUIT AGAIN BUT THEN SMOKE CAME FROM BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL ( STEERING COLUMN AREA). SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE CAR QUIT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL BY TURNING THE IGNITION FORWARD. HOWEVER WHEN TURNING IT BACKWARDS IT WOULD TRY TO CRANK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AND NOW CURRENTLY SITS AT BLUEGRASS HONDA IN PADUCAH, KY. ACCORDING TO HONDA, IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH I FOUND WAS UNDER RECALL BUT THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED IN 2002. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE HERE I HAVE THE VERY PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL ACKNOWLEDGED. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT ON A RECALL,HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME $200.00. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE "CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON" AND THE TROUBLE CODE IS P0740, TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. THE CAR SURGES FORWARD FROM A STOPPED POSITION EVEN AT THE SLIGHTEST DEPRESSION OF THE GAS PEDAL WHICH MAKES IT PRONE TO AN ACCIDENT BY HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RESET THE WARNING LIGHT, TEST DROVE IT AND TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE GETTING BAD. ON THE WAY HOME, THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANS REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHECKED THE TROUBLE CODE TO BE THE SAME P0740 CODE. THEY CHECKED THE RESISTANCE OF ALL THE SOLENOIDS AND REPLACED THE LINEAR SOLENOID WHICH WAS OUT OF SPEC. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON THE DRIVE HOME. I HAD IT SCANNED AGAIN AND THE CODE WAS P0740 AGAIN. THE TRANS SHOP SAID THAT THEY MAY EVENTUALLY NEED TO COMPLETELY REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AND MAY COST AROUND $3500-4000. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $400 SO FAR. I NOW DRIVE THE CAR SPARINGLY UNTIL I CAN HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET A REBUILT TRANS. I WISH THE NHTSA WOULD REQUIRE HONDA TO RECALL THIS MODEL YEAR LIKE THEY DID FOR THE 2000 MODEL SINCE THERE SEEMED TO BE AN UNUSUALLY ALARMING HIGH RATE OF COMPLAINTS ON 1999 ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

1. CAR SHUTS OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE IDLING AND WHEN MOVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. 2. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL IN 2002 TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AT THE TIME BUT THE WORK TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DONE IN 2002. CAR BEGAN PROBLEMS EARLY IN 2009 WITH 125,000 MILES AT RANDOM INTERVALS. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED BUT STILL A VERY SCARY INCIDENT. 3. SINCE THE RECALL WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE MAIN RELAY AFTER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED NOTHING FOR A TOTAL OF $212. ANOTHER FAILURE OCCURRED THE VERY SAME DAY SO I RETURNED TO DEALER AND GOT THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT A COST OF $146. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE POWER STEERING ALSO FAILED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE RPMS AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD BECOME INOPERABLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULD GAIN POWER ON ITS OWN. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER; THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 130,000.
