POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY HONDA ACCORD 99. WITH RESEARCH I FOUND ALOT OF CONSUMERS THAT HAD THE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL IN THEIR ACCORD 99/2000/2001'S. THE 200+ TRANSMISSION WERE UNDER RECALL. I DIRECTLY ASKED HONDA IF THE PART (AUTO TRANSMISSION) WAS THE SAME IN THE 99 ACCORD AS THE 2000 / 2001 WHICH IS UNDER RECALL. THOUGH SEVERAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS I FOUND OUT THAT THE PART (AUTO TRANSMISSION) IS EXACTLY THE SAME IN A 99, 2000 OR 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE HONDA WARRANTY TEAM WOULD NOT ADMIT (AGAIN I DIRECTLY ASKED) THAT THE PART WAS THE SAME. THUS, I AM LEFT WITH HONDA KNOWING THAT 99 ACCORD'S HAVE KNOWN DEFECTIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS THAT FAIL AT ROAD SPEED (ERRATIC SHIFTING). MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON AN INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH ROAD SPEED BY SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER THAT HAD TO GO OFF ROAD TO AVOID MY CAR. I GUESS WHEN THE FATALITIES GROW BIG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A CLASS ACTION SUIT HONDA WILL BE FORCED TO RECALL. *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
THE STARTER BLEW APART AFTER STARTING ON 3/10/03. THE BENDIX WAS IN TWO PIECES AND LODGED ITSELF BETWEEN THE FLYWHEEL AND MOTOR. ONE PIECE WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED, THE SECOND CANNOT BE REMOVED UNLESS THE TRANSMISSION IS REMOVED. THE DEALER INDICATED THIS WAS A NEW OCCURRENCE AND NEVER BEFORE HAPPENED TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE. THE CONSUMER SERVICE AT HONDA DID NOT SEEM TOO CONCERNED THAT THIS HAD OCCURRED AND SEEMED UNWILLING TO RESEARCH THIS EVEN THOUGH THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TODAY I HAVE 88000 MILES ON MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE. I AM CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TIME, MY CAR WAS DRIVING VERY ROUGH AT AROUND 23000 MI. EVERY TIME I WOULD ACCELERATE, WHEN MY CAR SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THE CAR WOULD GIVE A STRONG JERK, ONE THAT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE COINS IN THE COIN HOLDER. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OK, AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEMS. AROUND 30000 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH OUT ANY PROBLEM. LATER, AROUND 60000 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION LOST ALL FORWARD DRIVING GEARS. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GAS STATION, AND CALLED HONDA, ONLY TO HEAR, THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO GET THE WORK DONE AT THE GAS STATION. THEY ACQUIRED A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM HONDA TO BE PLACED INTO MY CAR. TONIGHT, THAT TRANSMISSION IS NOW WITHOUT FIRST AND THIRD GEARS. THE CAR WONT SHIFT EITHER. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN SECOND GEAR, AND SHIFTED TO THIRD MANUALLY FOR IT TO FUNCTION. IF IT IS STARTED IN 1,D3,OR D4 IT WILL START IN SECOND GEAR AND STAY IN IT. I HAVE 90000 MI ON MY CAR TODAY. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR EVERY 30000 MI OR SO.*JB

SEATS
THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE SEAT HAS ABOUT A HALF-INCH OF VERTICAL SLACK IN IT. (YOU CAN MOVE THE LEFT-FRONT CORNER UP THAT MUCH WITH YOUR HAND.) THIS ALLOWS THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK (IN A ROCKING MOTION) WHEN PUSHING AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN GETTING IN THE CAR, CHANGING POSITIONS IN THE SEAT, AND EVEN UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT TRACK UNDER WARRANTY. THAT DIDN'T SOLVE IT. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. IT STARTED AS SOON AS WE GOT THE CAR (PURCHASED NEW) AND IT'S NEVER STOPPED. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
BRAKE SWITCH INOP. THE BRAKE SWITCH GOES OUT REQUIRING THE MANUAL OVER-RIDE TO SWITCH THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE SWITCH GOES OUT, ALL OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. WE HAVE OWNED OUR 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX SINCE IT WAS NEW AND WE ARE NOW GOING ON OUR FOURTH BRAKE SWITCH. THIS LAST OCCURENCE IT APPEARS TO BE INTERMITENT. SO I DO NOT KNOW FOR HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH REAR BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING EVERY TIME WE USE OUR BRAKES. THE MILEAGE AND DATES OF REPLACEMENT ARE AS FOLLOWS: NOV 2001 34,000 MILES MAY 2002 40,000 MILES FEB 2003 53,865 MILES
