CAR WON'T START AND MAINTENANCE LIGHT CAME ON. TOW IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOUND TO THE TRANSMISSION'S FAULT. HONDA WON'T COVER IT UNDER THEIR RECALLS FOR 2000 MODELS, BECAUSE IT IS A 1999 MODEL. *TR

1999 HONDA ACCORD WHILE DRIVING CAR CUT OFF. I COULD NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE, CAR BEGAN TO COAST UNTIL I COULD PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF SO THAT I COULD PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. ONCE CAR STOPPED, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO MY DESTINATION. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS THE CAR HAS BE HAVING TROUBLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING BUT WOULD IMMEDIATELY RESTART. WHEN CAR WAS AT A PARKED STATUS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME I WOULD NOT ANY PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE. BUT IF THE CAR WAS DRIVEN, PARKED AND THEN RESTARTED THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE RESTARTING AGAIN. I WOULD HAVE TO REPEATEDLY HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GET SERVICED CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE ACCORD WAS TAKEN IN 2002 TO GET REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL 02V120000. THE CAR WAS NOT HAVING PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I CAN ADD ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURE FROM A HONDA ACCORD 1999. THIS CAR HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED TRANSMISSIONS ON HONDA ACCORD FROM 2000 TO 2002. MY TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAKED AT 110,000 MILES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 149,000 MILES FOR $2100. OF COURSE, THE REASON I BOUGHT A HONDA WAS BETTER ENGINEERING. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT I HAVE A FALSE PERCEPTION OF THE HONDA QUALITY. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AND I DON'T THINK AT THIS TIME THAT MY NEXT CAR WILL BE A HONDA AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE GOTTEN UNSOLD ON THEM. BASED ON ALL OF THE OTHER LETTERS I SAW ON THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND THE FACT THESE CARS HAD LOWER MILEAGE, I DON'T THINK I HAVE A PRAYER ON HONDA KICKING IN SOMETHING FOR THE REPAIR. NEXT TIME I BUY A CAR I AM STARTING WITH THESE LETTERS ON CARS AT THIS WEBSITE FIRST!!!! CARS ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE TO HAVE TO SETTLE FOR PROBLEMS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR FELT AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS AT ABOUT 95K MILES, BUT THIS SEEMED VERY EARLY FOR A TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. I GOT THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT, WHICH COST ME ABOUT $1600. FILING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER A FEW YEARS, BUT I RECENTLY HEARD THE 1998 HONDA ACCORDS ARE HAVING A RECALL. MINE IS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL TO START WHEN BATTERY AND ALL OTHE MECHNICALS COMPONENTS WERE NORMAL. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO GARAGES THE PROBLEMWAS NARROWED DOWN TO THE IGNITION SWITCH THATWA S NOT PROPERLY DISABLING IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM. *AK I FOUND OUT THERE IS AN OUTSTANING RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM (RECALL ID FROM NHTSA: 02V120000). HOWEVER, HONDA LIMIT THE RECALL TO A SMALL NUMBER OF VINS AND FAIL TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM FOR MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
CAR STALLED WHEN AT COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE A TURN ON5-24-07, STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY AND DROVE FINE. CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO A PHARMACY PARKING LOT ON 5-25-07, STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE OK AFTER THAT. I WAS THIRTY MILES FROM HOME TO GO TO THE DOCTOR SO I STARTED HOME ON I-44 IN A RAIN STORM. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH IN THE INSIDE LANE WHEN THE CAR STALLED. THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. THIS ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR OVER THE OUTSIDE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND GET IT OFF THE ROAD. STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I DID TURN OFF THE AC AND PRAYED ALL THE REST OF THE 20 MILES OR SO THAT I HAD TO GO TO GET HOME, WHICH I DID. CALLED A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP THAT I HAVE USED BEFORE AND BEING A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, COULD NOT GET IT IN BEFORE TUESDAY, 5-29-07. FOUND TO BE IGNITION SWITCH. WAS TOLD TO CALL HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SPRINGFIELD, MO AND WAS TOLD WAS FIXED AFTER RECALL. IN LOOKING AT THE PAPER WORK I HAD FROM PREVIOUS OWNER, IT HAD BEEN DONE AT 67375 MILES AND AGAIN HAD PROBLEMS AND WAS DONE AT 83050 MILES AGAIN. THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME AT ALL AT THE DEALERSHIP SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. THE CAR NOW HAS 103596 MILES ON IT. SO THAT TELLS ME THAT THESE IGNITION SWITCHES ARE GOOD FOR 20,000 OR LESS AND MY LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY SWITCH. NOW HOW LONG CAN I DRIVE AND BE SAFE BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN???? THE VERY LEAST THAT HONDA COULD DO IS PAY FOR THIS BUT MORE IMPORTANT FIX THE SWITCH SO THAT PEOPLE DO NOT THINK THEY ARE GOING TO DIE LIKE I ALMOST DID. I AM 69 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS A STRAIN MENTALLY AND FINANCIALLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION IN THE HONDA ACCORD VEHICLE YEARS 1998-2003 ARE DEFECTIVE. THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAILING AT AS EARLY AS 70,000 MILES. MY ACCORDS TRANSMISSION RECENTLY FAILED AT AN ESTIMATED 80,000-85,000 MILES. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THAT HONDA DID/OR WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN ONLY THE 2000 AND UP ACCORDS BUT WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM IN THE 98 AND 99 HONDA ACCORD DESPITE KNOWING THAT THE SAME EXACT TYPE OF TRANSMISSION WAS USED IN THE 98 AND 99 VERSIONS AS WELL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CONCERNING HONDA'S REFUSAL TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN 98 AND 99 AS WELL. IS THEIR ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO. I THINK IT'S UNFAIR TO SPEND OVER $2,600 TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT HONDA KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ACTIONS I COULD TAKE. THANKS *TR
