TRANSMISSION FAILURE - 1999 ACCORD EX IN MINT CONDITION, PERFECT MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO FAIL ,OUT OF THE BLUE, AT 71,000 MILES. THE CAR SHIFTS AND LURCHES IN 1ST, 2ND AND THIRD GEAR. ALSO, NOTICABLE LOSS OF OVERALL POWER OR TORQUE IN THE CARS PERFORMANCE. THIS IS MY THIRD ACCORD AND FIRST AUTOMATIC. HONDA WILL ONLY PAY FOR PART OF THE REPAIR. I HOPE BY WRITING THIS I HELP OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM BEING FORCED TO NEGOTIATE THE REPAIR COST WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. I AM ASKING FREE PARTS, FREE LABOR AND FREE RENTAL CAR. THEY CAME BACK WITH A REDUCED COST OF $1200 DOLLARS AND NO MENTION OF THE RENTAL CAR. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA, I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND PROMOTER OF THE BRAND NAME. I EXPECT RESTUTION IF THEY FINALLY RECALL THIS POSITION. *AK

THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR HONDA CARS TO DO THIS.*AK

AUTO TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR AND NOW JERKS ABRUPTLY BETWEEN FIRST & SECOND GEAR. REDDELL HONDA (MURFREESBORO, TN) HAS EXAMINED THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO DID NOT RECOMMEND TRAVELING DUE TO THE RISK OF BEING STRANDED. ACCURATE AUTOMOTIVE'S (LAVERGNE, TN) GARY GRAY, SERVICE ADVISOR, STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM ALOT WITH THIS CAR.

1999 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION FAILURE THE TRANSMISSION IS HESITATING AT SHIFT POINTS AND SHIFTS HARSHLY WHEN FINALLY SHIFTS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $4280.00. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAVE AGREED TO COVER THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT EXPECT ME TO COVER THE COST OF LABOR, TOTALING $863.00. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT HONDA MOTOR CORP.HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON FIVE MODELS OF VEHICLES BUILT FROM 2000 THRU 2002 BUT NOT 1999 YEAR. *NM

P0420 CODE - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON - CATALYST EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD - BANK 1 NLY 6 YEARS OLD AND 95,000 MILES. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON MANY SITES, THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD $1100 TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AND THERFORE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, WHILE POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND POSSIBLY OVERLOOKING OTHER FAILURES THAT MAY BE MORE SAFETY CRITICAL BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT ALWAYS BEING ON.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 36 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED FORWARD, FOLLOWED BY A METAL TO METAL NOISE. THE DRIVER COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE FLUID WAS BURNT, BUT THE METAL NOISE WAS STILL PRESENT. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE FRONT PUMP WAS FOUND TO BE THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. EXCESSIVE METAL WAS ALSO FOUND IN TRANSMISSION PAN AS WELL AS FLUID AND THE FORWARD DRUM WAS DAMAGED. A RE MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION WITH A TORQUE CONVERTER WAS INSTALLED. *JB NO RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS VEHICLE FOUND. *TC

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX ROLLED BACKWARDS AFTER I LEFT IT PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION AND LOCK THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS LEFT IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR ROLLED BACK 15-20 FEET AND WAS STOPPED BY SOME LARGE BUSHES AND SMALL TREES. I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO MY HONDA DEALER TO INSPECT THE CAR AFTER THE NHTSA RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THE DEALER DECLINED TO INSPECT THE IGNITION INTERLOCK BECAUSE HONDA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE AN INSPECTION SINCE CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I HAVE SPENT ROUGHLY $100 TO FIX THE PUNCTURED TAIL LIGHT COVER (BECAUSE TRUNK WOULD FLOOD WHEN IT RAINED). THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE TRUNK, REAR BUMPER, AND SIDE PANELS AROUND THE TRUNK. I WOULD ESTIMATE THE BODY DAMAGE REPAIR COSTS BETWEEN $1-2K. THE IGNITION INTERLOCK HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED SINCE THE ROLLBACK INCIDENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT INCIDENT MILEAGE AND INCIDENT DATE ARE ESTIMATED AS I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF THE INCIDENT UNTIL I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL AND LEARNED OF THE FEDERAL SAFETY STANDARD.*AK SEE ALSO ODI 10094192. *DSY

FAX PETITION FOR NHTSA TO REOPEN ITS INVESTIGATION INTO THE IGNITION INTERLOCK DEFECTS ON 1999-2001 HONDA ACCORDS PURSUANT TO 49 CFR 552.4 WHILE PARKED THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED DAMAGE TOT HE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER LATER ISSUED A RECALL. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL WAS TOO LIMITED. *NM SEE ALOS ODI 10093469. *DSY

AFTER TILTING FORWARD PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT ONLY LOCKS INTO PLACE IF THE BACK OF THE SEAT IS LOCKED BACK BEFORE SLIDING THE SEAT BACK INTO PLACE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE PASSENGER SLID FORWARD WHILE BRAKING. THE SEAT BELT HELD, BUT THE PASSENGERS WERE CAUGHT BY SURPRISE. I SHOWED THE DEALER THIS AND WAS TOLD WELL, JUST LOCK THE SEAT BACK. HOWEVER, WHEN THE SEAT HAS BEEN TILTED FORWARD, PASSENGERS NATURALLY SLIDE IT BACK INTO PLACE. IF THEY DO NOT LOCK THE BACK UPRIGHT FIRST, THERE IS A CHANCE THE SEAT IS NOT LOCKED INTO PLACE.*AK

I WAS DRIVING MY MOM'S 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 HOME LAST NIGHT AROUND 11:00 PM. AS I WAS APPROACHING THE EXIT AND PROCEEDED TO DECELERATE FROM 65MPH, THE CAR VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. A LARGE TRACTOR-TRAILER WHICH WAS BEHIND ME WAS NARROWLY ABLE TO AVOID REAR-ENDING (OR RUNNING ME OVER!) BY SWITCHING LANES. MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE ME AS I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE END OF MY LIFE. FORTUNATELY, I SURVIVED, HOWEVER, I HAVE A NASTY CASE OF WHIPLASH. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS USED IN THE 98-2002 ACCORDS V6 HAVE A FAULTY CARRIER BEARING WHICH BRAKES AND RUINS THE INNERDS OF THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. AFTER CALLING HONDA USA, I WAS TOLD TOUGH LUCK, AND WAS SARCASTICALLY TOLD THAT IF I EXPECTED THEM TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT, I SHOULDN'T HOLD MY BREATH. REGARDLESS OF THE EXTRORDINARY INFLATED REPLACEMENT COST OF $4800.00, THE NHTSA MUST OPEN A DEFECT INVESTIGATION. ALTHOUGH THE 2001-2002'S WERE "RECALLED," THE 98-99'S WITH THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSIONS HAVE NOT. I FEAR FOR THE LIVES OF ALL THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITH THESE CARS - ESPECIALLY IF THEY CANNOT AFFORD THE OUTRAGEOUS COST TO REPLACE HONDA'S FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS TRULY AN INJUSTICE!*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT ON ITS ON. THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK THEN ACCELERATED WITH A HESITATION. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

THE IGNITION SWITCH ALLOWS THE DRIVER TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING IN PARK. THIS WILL ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY.

I NOTICED TRANSMISSION LEAKING FROM MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX AT ABOUT 78,000 MILES. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND NOT CHANGING GEARS AT THE PROPER TIMES. THUS, I TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT MY SEALS AND AXELS HAD TO BE REPLACED. TO GET A SECOND OPINION, I TOOK IT TO A MEINEKE SHOP WHO ADVISED THAT MY AXELS WERE FINE AND THAT I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN BECAUSE MY PROBLEM WAS GREATER THAN I IMAGINE. I CONTACTED A TECHNICIAN IN THE AREA AND HE ASSESSED THE SITUATION. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE BEHRINGS ON THE VEHICLE WERE POORLY MANUFACTURED AND THUS WERE CAUSING LEAKAGE AND SLIPPAGE. HE OFFERED LITERATURE ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WHICH HELPED ME UNDERSTAND. HIS SOLUTION WAS TO COMPLETELY REBUILD THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT WAS A COST THAT I COULD NOT EVEN FATHOM TO BEAR. THIS LED ME TO CONTACT A TRANSMISSION REPAIR TECHNICIAN THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY CONSULTED WITH WHEN I WAS FACED WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH MY 1988 HONDA ACCORD. THIS TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN. HE CAUTIONED THAT HONDA ACCORDS BUILT IN BETWEEN 1998 AND AFTER HAD THOSE FAULTY PARTS IN THE TRANSMISSION, THUS CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS DESCRIBING. I HAD TO OTHER ALTERNATIVE THAN TO TRUST THIS TECHNICIAN WITH THE REPAIR OF MY TRANSMISSION SINCE I HAD PREVIOUSLY DEALT WITH HIM. HE WAS HONEST AND STRAIGHTFORWARD FROM THE START. AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD T

WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING MY ACCORD V6, MY TRANSMISSION SENSOR BLEW OUT. THAT WAS THE ONLY THING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I REPEATEDLY EXPRESSED CONCERNS TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT WOULD THUMP AND LURCH THE CAR FORWARD OR HESITATE BETWEEN GEARS. REPEATEDLY THEY ASSURED ME THIS WAS NORMAL. LIKE EVERYONE WHO BUYS A HONDA, I THOUGHT HONDAS ARE BUILT TO LAST SO MAYBE THIS IS NORMAL. THE FIX-IT WAS TO FLUSH MY SYSTEMS ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS. WHICH BY THE WAY, MADE THINGS WORSE. I HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT AN AUTOMATIC. SUCH IRONY. NOW THE VEHICLE ONLY ENGAGES 2ND GEAR. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING HONDA WITH THIS FOR 9 MONTHS NOW.*AK

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION IN '99 ACCORD LX. MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT IT WAS DESIGN FLAW SEEN IN SEVERAL '98-'01 TRANSMISSIONS, YET HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS '00-'01 MODELS (THANKS FOR STANDING BY YOUR PRODUCT, HONDA). JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND WILL COST $3000-5000 TO FIX. I'M A STUDENT AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED SOON BEFORE THEY REALLY START MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO AGE AND MILEAGE.

HONDA ACCORD 1999, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT INDICATES CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE, WHICH IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR CAUSED BY A DESIGN FLAW WHEREBY LEAN FUEL MIXTURES PRODUCE LOW EMMISSIONS, BUT ALSO BURN UP THE CATALYST BED. THE FAILURE IS SYSTEMIC AND HAPPENS BETWEEN 80,000 AND 130,000 MILES. MANY FAMILIES CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AND SINCE IT IS NOT CRITICAL, IT WILL BE LEFT UNATTENDED, WHICH LEADS TO ENVIRONMENTAL DETERIORATION AND THE IMMEDIATE RISK OF DRIVING WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ALREADY ILLUMINATED.*AK

THE CONSUMER CAN REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY WITHOUT PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. *JB

I OWN A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX 2.3 VTECH. I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AROUND 60000, WHEN THE CAR WAS COLD TRANSMISSION HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS, WHEN THE CAR GETS HOT TRANSMISSION IS OK. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE MY FRIEND WORKS AS A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND SOONER OR LATER IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMING TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HONDA ISSUED A RECALL ON 2000 AND 2001 HONDAS ACCORD TRANSMISSION BUT THEY DID NOT ISSUE THE RECALL FOR 1998 AND 1999. I'VE ENDED UP SELLING MY ACCORD AND GETTING ANOTHER 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX 2.3 VTECH AND FEW WEEKS AGO I'VE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S GOING ON? IF HONDA WON'T ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL FOR 1999 ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS, I'LL NEVER BUY HONDA AGAIN. *JB

THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. WHEN THE DRIVER ACCELERATED THE SEAT WOBBLED. *AK THE CONSUMER WOULD BE THROWN AROUND NEARLY LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *SC *JB

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY 6 CYLINDER 1999 HONDA ACCORD FAILED AT AROUND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES EVEN WITH SCHEDULED FLUID REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA OF AMERICA THAT 2000-2002 ACCORDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WERE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THAT MY CAR DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY RE-BUILT AT MY EXPENSE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

TRANSMISSION ON MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS BEEN SLIPPING FOR QUITE SOME TIMES. I AM THE SECOND OWNER, HAVING BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE COMPANY I WORKED FOR. PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, WITH MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES. MY TRANSMISSION IS NOW OUT COMPLETELY; WHEN IT WENT OUT, MY 4 YEAR OLD SON AND I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME, IN REVERSE. NOW I AM STRANDED AT MY HOME IN THE COUNTRY, 20 MILES FROM TOWN. I AM A SINGLE FATHER AND I NOW HAVE TO RELY ON MY PARENTS TO TAKE ME PLACES AS I CURRENTLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $4-$5K TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE RECALL WAS ONLY DONE TO THE YEAR 2000 VEHICLES WHEN IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PREVELANT IN THE 1999 MODELS AS WELL. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, SRS AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK ALL THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PAY FOR THE DOOR LOCK REPAIR. THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART BUT WANTED THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THE LABOR. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THEY SHOULD PAY THE TOTAL EXPENSE. *NM

1999 HONDA ACCORD, EX V6, 79K MILES, BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED AND ONLY SERVICED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS. ORIGINAL OWNER WAS MY FATHER (PHILIP GARRAFFA) WHO LEASED THE VEHICLE; I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE END OF THE LEASE - I KNOW IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO EXCESS WEAR AND TEAR. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING (STEPPING ON THE GAS), THE ENGINE WILL 'REV', CAR WILL NOT MOVE INTO GEAR, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL SLAM INTO GEAR AND JERK FORWARD. THANKFULLY THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT A HIGHER SPEED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SHIFT PROPERLY FROM THE FIRST TO THE SECOND GEAR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK
