ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR REPEATEDLY SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND MY HONDA LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND THE SPEEDOMETER HANDS STARTED FLICKERING. MY CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND MY WHEEL LOCKED. I TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. IT SOUNDED LIKE MY CAR WAS DRAGGING SOMETHING BUT I CHECKED UNDERNEATH AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. AFTER GASSING THE CAR WHILE STARTING, IT FINALLY STARTED BACK UP BUT YOU COULD TELL IT WAS BARELY BEING POWERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TRYING HARD TO POWER BUT IT WAS ONLY DOING IT SO MUCH. NOW I'M SITTING STILL ON SIDE THE HIGHWAY AND IT ALSO RUNS HOT SO I FILLED THE ANTIFREEZE AND NOW I'M LETTING T RUN, HOPING THAT THE ANTIFREEZE IS THE CAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. MY CAR SOUNDS AWFUL!!!!! IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 150K MILES!!!! FOR IT TO BE A 1999!!!!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IGNITION SWITCH RECALL ON1999 HONDA ACCORD CAUSES THE CAR TO STALLS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH THAT HAD A RECALL IN 2004 BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS RECALL IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT SO THE DEALER WANTS TO START WITH DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH I HAVE HAD DONE AND IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THAT. THE FIRST HOUR IS $120. RECALL NUMBER WAS 02V120000. ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH DEGRADES DUE TO HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH SWITCH WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED. THIS STALL HAS HAPPENED ON FREEWAY LEAVING ME TO BE IN A ACCIDENT AT ANY TIME.

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD V6 HAS A RUSTED SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY DRIPPING WATER FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE DRIVERS SIDE SUBFRAME IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH UNCOVERS SEVERAL NEWS STORIES AND OFFICIAL INQUIRIES TO HONDA FOR AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM. FURTHER NO DEALER OR MECHANICS UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO ME. AFTER SEEING THE EXTENSIVE RUST MISSING SECTIONS IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT SEE THE DAMAGE WHEN CHANGING THE OIL. EVEN I CAN TELL THERE IS A PROBLEM. MY CAR IS NOW INOPERABLE BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE. AT THE MOMENT IT ONLY HAS 110K MILES OR APPROX 6K A YEAR. I DON'T SEE A RECALL FOR THIS YET THE ISSUE SEEMS COMMON.

THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH ON ONE SIDE ONLY. IT'S THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AC DRAIN HOSE DIPS ON THE FRAME. THE CAR IS IN OTHERWISE GOOD SHAPE AND DOESN'T PRESENT ANY REAL ISSUES BUT THE RUST IS SO BAD THAT IT IS MAKING THE CAR VERY UNSAFE.

WHILE TRYING TO GET CV SHAFTS REPLACED, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT SUBFRAME REAR CROSSMEMBER, SPECIFICALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE, HAD RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE TOP HALF AND WAS THUS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, THE SAME AREA THAT RUSTED AWAY IS DIRECTLY BELOW THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN PIPE. IT STANDS TO REASON THAT THIS DRAIN PIPE DIRECTS WATER RIGHT ONTO THE SUB FRAME IN THIS SECTION, WHICH WOULD CAUSE IT TO RUST OUT FASTER THAN THE REST OF THE FRAME. MY SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR THIS IS AS FOLLOWS: 1) THERE ARE 316,000+ MILES REGISTERED ON THE ODOMETER AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT GARAGE KEPT. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT SURFACES EXPOSED TO ROAD DEBRIS, SALT, AND WATER SHOULD BE EQUALLY AS RUSTED. 2) THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY INTACT. 3) THE AFFECTED PORTION OF THE SUBFRAME IS ACTUALLY THE SUPERIOR (TOP) ASPECT WHICH IS DIRECTLY BELOW THE DRAIN PIPE, AS OPPOSED TO THE INFERIOR (BOTTOM) ASPECT, WHICH IS CLOSER TO THE ROAD. JUST 2 MONTHS BEFORE I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THIS INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR CV SHAFT SERVICE, I HAD A HONDA DEALERSHIP, SPECIFICALLY CLASSIC HONDA LOCATED IN STREETSBORO, OHIO PERFORM A FRONT SWAY BAR BUSHING SERVICE AND I RECEIVED A COMPLEMENTARY INSPECTION. FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE SWAY BAR BUSHING LOCATION, THE BUSHINGS ARE HELD AGAINST THE FRONT SUBFRAME REAR CROSSMEMBER VIA BRACKETS THAT BOLT IN. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE HONDA TECHNICIAN WHO SERVICED MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT THE DAMAGED SUBFRAME. NOT ONLY DID THEY FAIL TO DETECT THIS ISSUE DURING THE SERVICE, THEY ALSO FAILED TO DETECT THIS ISSUE DURING THE INSPECTION FOR WHICH I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED THAT THEY LOOK AT THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION TO ASSESS SAFETY. IF THIS SUBFRAME WOULD HAVE FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION, TAKING AWAY MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THROWING DEBRIS.

POWER TRAIN
AT AROUND 185000 MILES NOW, THIS CAR WHICH WE BOUGHT A FEW YEARS AGO WITH MAYBE 50,000 TO 60,000 LESS MILES STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD BETWEEN 1ST GEAR AND 2ND GEAR. NOW IT SLAMS IN GEAR. FROM ALL WE'VE READ IT IS A DESIGN FLAW REGARDING THE FILTER WHICH COLLECTS TINY METAL PARTICULATES PREVENTING ENOUGH PRESSURE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO PROPERLY AND SMOOTHLY SHIFT. HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND WILL NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS I FIND WHEN READING ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT ONLINE AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME THING. AND THERE ARE SO FEW LEFT OF THESE YEARS THAT HONDA OUGHT TO HAVE NO PROBLEM REPLACING OR REPAIRING THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE STILL DRIVING THESE CARS. I WANT THEM TO REPAIR OR REPLACE OUR TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN FLAW, NOT OUR MISUSE. PLEASE SEE THIS GETS REVIEWED BY A DECISION MAKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
BEGAN HEARING UNUSUAL NOISE FROM RIGHT FRONT TIRE AREA WHEN TURNING. UPON INVESTIGATING, DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS WORN EXCESSIVELY AND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SUB-FRAME IS ROTTED OUT. NO OTHER PART OF THE FRAME IS ROTTED ONLY THE RIGHT FRONT. APPARENT CAUSE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHERE THE A/C DRAIN TUBE IS LOCATED DIRECTLY OVER THIS SUB-FRAME AND CAUSES IT TO PREMATURELY RUST AND ROT OUT. I CANNOT GET AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THE SUB-FRAME IS TOO WEAK. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE SUB-FRAME WILL LIKELY FAIL CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
