MY CAR HAS BEEN RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NO ONE COULD TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS NO WARNING OTHER THAN LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASH AND THEN CUTS OFF. I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND CAN BARELY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT. NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN IT WILL RESTART ON THE FIRST TRY BUT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WORK WITH IT TO GET IT TO START AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY HONDA ACCORDS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THERE WAS ACTUALLY A RECALL ON 97-2000 HONDA ACCORDS. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO AREN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WITH 99 HONDA ACCORDS WHOSE VIN NUMBER BEGINS IN 1HGCG JUST AS MINE DOES AND ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO OBVIOUSLY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO GATHER THAT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET HONDA TO RECALL IT?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STRUCTURE
THE A/C COMPRESSOR DRIPS DIRECTLY ON THE SUBFRAME, WHICH RUSTED IT COMPLETELY APART. WHICH IN TURN, DESTROYED THE SUSPENSION. MY CAR IS NOW WAITING TO BE TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE, TOTALLY NOT DRIVABLE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET. NORMAL TURN AROUND A CORNER. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED, I WOULD BE FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR EXTREMELY POOR ENGINEERING AND LACK OF THINKING THIS HORRIBLE DESIGN FLAW THROUGH COMPLETELY. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP AT [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I'M DRIVING ALONG, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY DIE. NO SPUTTER, NO NOTHING, JUST DEAD. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND I JUST TOOK IT TO HONDA. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET SAYS THAT ELECTRICAL SWITCH SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER AT DCH KAY HONDA, 200 NJ-36, EATONTOWN, NJ 07724. THEY SAID NO COMPLAINTS OR RECALL ON MY VIN. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT MAY STOP AT ANY TIME DURING THE DRIVING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL NOW HAS A BROKEN SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY. THE SUBFRAME HAS SO MUCH CORROSION THAT BUSHING, ETC. HAS DISINTEGRATED. HOWEVER, THIS HAS ONLY OCCURRED ON THE RIGHT CORNER JUST BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THIS IS ALSO THE LOCATION OF THE A/C DRAIN HOSE. APPARENTLY THE HOSE DRAINS RIGHT ONTO THE SUBFRAME AND HAS CAUSED THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THOUSANDS OF ACCORDS ARE AFFECTED BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY THE MANUFACTURER TO RECALL THIS ENGINEERING ISSUE. WITH THE SUBFRAME BROKEN, I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT EITHER (SINCE A NEW ONE IS $700 + LABOR).
