THE CLEAR COAT/PAINT IS PEELING/WEARING OFF OF MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD. IT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOK HORRIBLE. THOUSANDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. CLEARLY THIS IS A RESULT OF DEFECTIVE PAINT. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1993 ACCORD AND AT 196,000 MILES, THE PAINT LOOKED A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THEN THE PAINT ON MY 1999. TO HAVE THE CAR REPAINTED, IT WILL COST OVER $1000. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND THE PAINT BE RECALLED. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
THE ENGINE SHUT OFF TWICE ON THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT SOME OLD HONDA MODELS HAD THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS AND IT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTED IGNITION SWITCH. I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER BUT THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL REGARDING OF THIS PROBLEM. I GOT MY IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED IN A MECHANIC SHOP. *JS

CAR HAS INTERMITTENT STALLING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED IN LEESBURG HONDA, ONLY KNOWN THRU CARFAX REPORT. LEESBURG HONDA COULD NOT VERIFY IF IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPAIRED FROM RECALL STATUS. VERIFICATION CAME FROM CHARLOTTESVILLE BROWN'S HONDA THAT SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT NOT BY WHO. TOLD IF KEY WAS SHOOK WHILE RUNNING AND CAR STALLED THEN IT WAS IGNITION SWITCH. CAR STILL PERSISTS INTERMITTENTLY IN SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING SIGNS. SOMETIMES, AFTER STALL, IT TAKES SEVERAL TURNS OF KEY TO FINALLY GET CAR STARTED. STALLING CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND HAS IN FAST LANES OF HIGHWAYS MAKING CAR A LITTLE HARD TO STEER OF THE ROAD. ONLY HAZARD LIGHTS WORK TO SEND WARNING SIGN OF CAR TROUBLE. *TR
