1999 Honda Accord complaints

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR RESTART AFTER PUSHING IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT START LATER IN THE DAY. HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST AUTO SHOP. SHOP INFORMED ME OF RECALL. CONTACTED NEAREST DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SHOP REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AND NEEDED TO REPROGRAM KEYS, RESULTING IN $700 BILL.*AK

THE HORN FAILED TO WORK WHEN NEEDED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT HORN AND THE AIR BAG WERE DESIGNED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY NEED TO REMOVE THE AIR BAG TO FIX THE HORN, AND THIS WILL COST $2500 AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *AK THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE IT APPEARED TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *NM

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 40,000 MILES, HOWEVER IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY FIXED IT AT A COST OF ROUGHLY $6000. NOW AT 82,000 MILES, THE FLUID IS LEAKING AND THEY ARE ADVISING ME TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT $4000. HONDA IS USING THERE GOOD NAME TO SELL A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND THE 98-99 V6 ACCORDS NEED TO BE RECALLED ALONG WITH THE 2000-2001. *AK

1999 HONDA ACCORD REBUILT TRANSMISSION. *MR THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY BEFORE THE 36K MILE WARRANTY RAN OUT. *SC *JB

MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. SPECIFICALLY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND. I TOOK IT IN ASSUMING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE TUNED UP, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DROVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER WEEK AND HAD IT FAIL MISERABLY. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND DROVE HOME AT 5 MPH. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE DEALER SAYS THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. *LA

1999 HONDA ACCORD V6 - THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND WILL NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED TO HAPPEN, THE CAR WOULD REV UP TO HIGH RPM'S AND THEN ENGAGE. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE IS PUT IN 2ND GEAR. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD OR 4TH AT ALL. ACCORDS FROM 2000 - 2004 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE 1999 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY! *JB

02 V 120 000/IGNITION SWITCH: AFTER HAVING THE RECALL REPAIRS DONE BY THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO, THE VEHICLE BEEN HAVING AN ON GOING / INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WITH CAR KEY ON DRIVER'S SIDE, WHICH ONLY UNLOCKED THAT DOOR AND REAR DOORS. PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT UNLOCK. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WILL LOCK ALL DOORS, BUT DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. CONSUMER HAS TO MANUALLY PULL UP LOCK LATCH AT WINDOW TO OPEN AND EXIT VEHICLE ON DRIVER'S SIDE. DOOR KEY USED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE WILL UNLOCK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND 1 REAR DOOR, INSIDE AUTOMATIC LOCK ON PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS DRIVER'S DOOR. DRIVER'S DOOR AUTOMATIC LOCK DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK AT ALL NOW. *LA

1999 HONDA ACCORD LX, CAR HAS 100,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT IT WILL COST $5500 TO REPLACE. THIS IS UNHEARD OF WITH A HONDA. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT HONDA'S TRANSMISSION AND IT ISN'T JUST THE ACCORD, IT IS SEVERAL OTHER MODELS. WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS? *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN , VEHICLE WOULD START JERKING. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED. *AK

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT - 10020962 FROM LAST YEAR. LOW AND BEHOLD, 4 MONTHS AFTER MY BRAKE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND REPAIRED, THE BRAKES STARTED TO WARP AGAIN. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT RE-REPAIR THEM - THEY INDICATED THAT THE AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEM (THE BRAKE PADS WERE FINE). I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER FACILITY - ONE THAT FIXES AND MAINTAINS RACE CARS - THEY INDICATED THAT AUTO MAKERS ARE USING LIGHTER (AND LESS DURABLE) PARTS TO ENHANCE MPG RATINGS - WHICH IS MORE LIKELY THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA ACCORD, AS WELL AS WITH OTHER TYPES OF VEHICLES. THE GOOD NEWS WAS THAT WHILE MY CAR WAS IN, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH FIXED, AND AT THE SAME TIME, THEY INDICATED THAT MY CAR NEEDS A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER - I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE FACING - "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS INTO EACH NEW GAS CAP. I'VE HAD 4 FOR THIS VEHICLE (AND HAVE NOT LOST ANY). I'VE NEVER REPLACED A GAS CAP IN MY LIFE BEFORE, JUST AS I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKE ROTOR PROBLEMS BEFORE. THE ONLY GOOD THING I COULD SAY WAS THAT THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE - GIVEN THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD, I WOULD HOPE NOT. I ENDED UP HAVING THE O2 FILTER / SENSOR (WHATEVER IT IS) REPLACED AT ANOTHER FACILITY - WHICH TOOK CARE OF A DROP IN MILEAGE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING. THE BAD NEWS FOR HONDA IS THAT I AM PROBABLY GOING BACK TO TOYOTA - I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ANOTHER HONDA IF THE DEAL

(1) DRIVER'S POWER SEAT WAS MOVED TO ITS MOST EXTREME REARWARD POSITION WHILE CLEANING UNDER THE SEAT. BACKREST WAS NOT MOVED OR UNLATCHED FROM IT'S NORMAL UPRIGHT POSITION. SEAT WAS THEN REPOSITIONED TO ITS NORMAL DRIVING LOCATION. (2) UPON SITTING IN THE SEAT AND LEANING BACK AGAINST THE BACKREST, IT GAVE WAY AND DRIVER FELL BACKWARDS. HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL PREVENTED DRIVER FROM FALLING INTO A NEARLY HORIZONTAL POSITION. UPON RELEASING PRESSURE AGAINST THE BACKREST, IT SPRANG BACK TO ITS NORMAL UPRIGHT POSITION. SEAT WOULD NOT LOCK INTO THE UPRIGHT POSITION. IF THE LATCH HAD FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN BACKWARDS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE WITH A POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH. (3) DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO OPERATE THE POWER SEAT'S VARIOUS CONTROLS CONTROLS TO RE-ENGAGE LATCHING MECHANISM WITHOUT SUCCESS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER, IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR OF DISASSEMBLING THE MODULE CONTAINING THE LATCHING MECHANISM MODULE BEFORE IT COULD BE MADE TO LOCK. TECHNICIAN COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT FAILED AND WHY IT REPAIRED ITSELF OR THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE ORIGINAL MODULE. NEW PART WAS ORDERED AND IS TO BE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE WEEK OF JULY 5- APPROXIMATE COST $400. PRESENTLY DON'T KNOW IF I CAN RETAIN CUSTODY OF OLD PART. *NM

TIRES MAKE EXCESSIVE NOISE. *AK

ANTI THEFT CODE NOT PROVIDED. *AK

WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY INCLINED, THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 1999 ACCORD V6 WILL SLIP AS IF THE GEARS ARE NOT MESHING AND IT VIOLENTLY POPS. IT ALSO REQUIRES ME TO PRESS HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE CAR TO EVEN BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY WHEN DRIVING AND SOMETIMES DOWNSHIFTS ERRATICALLY, SUCH AS AFTER I'VE ALREADY STOPPED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 72,000 MILES AFTER TAKING IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A THOROUGH CHECKOUT PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE. I WAS NOT TOLD OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL BY THE DEALER, AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK EXCEPT THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE CHANGED, WHICH I DID. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH ME. I CARRIED IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL" FOR A HONDA. WELL, IT'S NOT NORMAL FOR MY OTHER TWO HONDA ACCORDS (91 AND 92). IT NOW SLIPS EVERY DAY THAT I DRIVE IT AND I BELIEVE IT WILL COMPLETELY FAIL PRETTY SOON. I SUSPECT THE PREVIOUS OWNER PROBABLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION FIXED AND THEN SOLD IT TO ME. I ALSO HAVE A 2002 ODYSSEY, WHICH IRONICALLY, IS IN THE SHOP TODAY FOR A RECALL TO CHECK THE 2ND GEAR IN THE TRANMISSION FOR OVER-HEATING AND TO INSTALL A "OIL JET" WHATEVER THE HELL THAT IS. I AM VERY ANGRY AT HONDA AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA OF ANY KIND IF A RECALL IS NOT ISSUED ON THESE OBVIOUSLY CHEAPLY DESIGNED AND DANGEROUS TRANSMISSIONS. WHY CAN'T YOU PUT SOME PRE

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. *AK A PART WAS ADDED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE PART WAS ADDED TWICE AND WORKED NEITHER TIME. AT TIMES WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS COMING TO A STOP, THE SEAT WOULD JERK FORWARD AND BACK. *SC *JB

CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING LEANED BACK AND THE SEAT COLLAPSED. CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND THAT REPAIR WAS CONSUMER'S PROBLEM. CONSUMER STATED SHE WILL HAVE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED ON MONDAY JUNE 28, 2004. *AK

WHILE PLACING THE KEY INSIDE THE IGNITION CONSUMER COULD REMOVE THE KEY WHILE IN PARK. CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD MOVE ON ITS OWN AND CAUSE A COLLISION. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY ACCORD WENT OUT AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED. WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE IN GEARING AND CAR WOULD JUMP FORWARD WHILE EVEN ON THE BRAKE. IF THE CAR WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE, IF ON A SLIGHT HILL, THE CAR WOULD ROLL FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS BEFORE CATCHING GEARS AND ACTING THE PROPER WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS. FAILED TRANSMISSION IN 2 DIFFERNENT LATE 1990S HONDA CARS. THE FIRST BEING A 1998 HONDA CIVIC HX COUPE WITH VORTECH ENGINE AND THE SECOND BEING A 1999 HONDA ACCORD 4DR EX V6 (VORTECH) ENGINE. TRANMISSION FAILURE BETWEEN 80K AND 110K MILES. FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR HONDAS. *AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CATASTROPHIC FAILURE RETAINING PIN BROKE AND ALLOWED ONE OF GEARS ON SPIDER ASSEMBLY TO MOVE. THIS CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION- DAMAGING GEARS AND THE CORE. *AK

1999 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 AUTO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. BEGAN UPON RETURN FROM 100K SERVICE BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. ERRATIC SHIFTING/SLIPPING OCCURS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, FLUID LEAKS AT VARIOUS POINTS OF THE UNDER CHASSIS. MY ACCORD HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY A HONDA SERVICE DEPT. WAS INFORMED BY TECH THAT A "FAULTY" CARRIER BEARING WAS NOTED. A "REFURB" TRANNY INSTALL WAS RECCOMMENDED ($3000) INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE FAULTY BEARING. *JB

AFTER FALLING ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL 70 MPH, THE CONSUMER HIT A ROAD SIGN AND THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *LA

WIITHOUT WARNING, MY DRIVER SIDE POWER ASSISTED SEAT COLLAPSED AND CANNOT LOCK UPRIGHT. IT CAN ONLY LOCK IN LAY-DOWN POSITION. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (PATTY PECK HONDA, RIDGELAND) TO IMMEDIATE REPAIR. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RECALL NOTICES ABOUT THIS DEFECT. ANOTHER HONDA OWNER TOLD ME TODAY, JUNE 13, 2004. *AK

AS THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, MY CAR WAS TURNED TO IDEL AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY 99 ACCORD V6 TO THE DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WOULD COST $5200 AND PAYING OUT MY POCKET . MY MAJOR CONCERN WAS SAFETY FOR THOSE DRIVING THIS TYPE OF CAR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT EXTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED TO WORK. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT IN A PRIOR SERVICE BULLETIN BY HONDA THESE COMPONENTS ARE ALL LINKED TO A FAULTY MULTIPEXOR SWITCH ( SERVICE BULLETIN #00-07C). IN TALKING TO HONDA THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE SERVICE BULLETIN WAS PERTAINING TO EXPORTS. THE CONSUMER AGREED TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE TO BE DONE NOW THE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME NOW. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *TC

WHILE PULLING OUT INTO A ROADWAY AT A HURRIED PACE TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC, MY '99 ACCORD WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPM'S JUST INCREASED. AN ONCOMING VEHICLE NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT GETTING OUT OF THE WAY AND SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, BEFORE AN IMPACT OCCURED, MY HONDA VIOLENTLY SLAMMED INTO GEAR AND I GOT OUT OF THE WAY OF THE OTHER VEHICLE, BUT THE ACCELERATION WAS SO SUDDEN I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN. THE ACCORD IMPACTED THE CURB, CAUSING TIRE AND RIM DAMAGE. THE TRANSMISSION IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AND I AM DISMAYED TO FIND THAT HONDA KNOWS THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE, YET WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP '99 OWNERS. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS, NOT JUST THE 2000/01 BECAUSE THEY ARE A THREAT TO DRIVER SAFETY (AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED). I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED HONDA'S CARS BUT MAY CONSIDER ANOTHER VEHICLE IF HONDA ALLOWS THEIR BOTTOM LINE TO ENDANGER CUSTOMER SAFETY. *LA

TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. *MR

MY HONDA ACCORD 1999 TRANSMISSION WAS FAILED AT 74000 MILES, REGARDLESS OF SHOWROON SERVICE ALL THE TIME AND ONE HAND MAINTENANCE. *AK

MY TRANSMISSION LOCKED AT 65 MPH ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY 99 ACCORD TO THE DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD COST $2500, WHICH NOW HAS TO PAY OUT MY POCKET . THE HONDA HAS ONLY 93K. MY MOTHER IN LAWS TAURUS HAS 140000, AND IS STILL RUNNING FINE. IT'S A 1997. HOW DOES A 1997 TAURUS OUTLAST A 1999 ACCORD? IF THIS IS THE CASE THAT I HAVE TO NOW WORRY ABOUT WHEN I BUY A HONDA, THEN I MIND AS WELL INVEST IN A TOYOTA CAMRY IN THE FUTURE.*AK

STICKING ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX SEDAN 4 CYL AUTOMATIC. THE ACCELERATOR STARTED STICKING AND WOULD RESULT IN A SUDDEN UNSAFE SURGE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A CARBON BUILD-UP IN THE THROTTEL BODY WHICH RESULTED IN THE THROTTLE PLATE STICKING.

WHILE AT A STOP CONSUMER WAS REAR ENDED. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME TO SNAP, JERKING THE DRIVER'S SEAT FORWARD. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS REGARDING IGNITION SWITCH . HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

I HAVE NOTICED A FEW WET SPOTS ON MY FLOOR OF MY GARAGE SO I CRAWLED UNDER CAR TO LOOK. I NOTICED FLUID COMING OUT FROM THE TRANSMISSION ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHERE THE AXLE GOES THROUGHT THE AXLE SEAL INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK THE CAR TO EXCLUSIVE HONDA /ACURA IN OMAHA NE. THEY CHECKED THE CAR OVER AND FOUND EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OUTPUT SHAFT (AXEL). THEY ADVISED ME I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS A 1999 ACCORD THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUAL AND ONLY HAS 58000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED AND ERRATIC SHIFT THAT IS VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING.*AK

I HAVE HONDA ACCORD LX MODEL 1999. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF MY CAR STALLING WHILE DECELERATING. THIS PROBLEM IS SINCE LAST 12-18 MONTHS. I HAVE SHOWN THIS TO CAR DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NOTHING SIGNIFICANT WAS TOLD TO ME. MOST OF THE TIME I AM UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN AT SERVICE CENTER BUT IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES EVEN ON THE FREEWAY IT STALLS DURING DECELERATING. PLEASE CONSIDER IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

ACCORD 1999 EX-V6 TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES SHIFTS HARD AND 4TH GEAR SLIPS AND SHUDDERS, ALSO UNEXPECTED HARSH DOWNSHIFTS OR ERRATIC SHIFTING. SUSPECT THE PROBLEM TO BE SIMILAR TO MODEL YEAR 2000 AND 2001, BUT NO RECALL ISSUED FOR 1999.

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD'S LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING WITHOUT NOTICE. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THEN THEY WILL JUST TURN OFF. I HAVE CHECKED THE BULBS, AND THE BULBS ARE STILL NEW. I HAVE BOUGHT MANY SETS OF BULBS, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS JAPANEESE MADE ACCORDS, AND AMERICAN CIVICS. MY ACCORD WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN.

CAR PAUSES THEN SURGES FORWARD WILE ACCELERATING AT LOWER SPEEDS DUE TO DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, PROBLEM IS CONSTANT - HAPPENS EVERYTIME.*AK

ELECTRIC MALFUNCTION FOR HONDA ACCORD EX 1999 , DOOR REMOTE KEY DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND MOST OF THE TIME KEY LESS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK FOR ALL THE DOORS. I TOOK CAR FOR REGULAR SERVICE AT HONDA DEALER IN RICHMOND VA, AND I ASKED THE SERVICE MAN TO FIX THE DOOR LOCK PROBLEM BECAUSE THE REMOTE KEY DOOR LOCK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE DOOR LOCK NOB(S) TO LOCK THE DOOR AFTER INVESTIGATION HONDA DEALER SERVICE MAN NOT ABLE TO FIND OR LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND HONDA CHARGE ME $40 FOR JUST TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM I CAN UNDERSTAND HE SPEND HIS TIME, THIS IS ALRIGHT FOR ME. BUT LATER ON HONDA SERVICE MAN CALLED ME THAT I NEED TO INVESTIGATE IT MORE AND THAT WILL COST $120 MORE AND AT THAT TIME HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS WORNG WITH THE DOOR(S) LOCK PROBLEM. I ASKED HIM WHAT IS YOUR FINDING ABOUT THE DOOR LOCK PROBLEM. HE SAID IT MAY BE BECAUSE MOUSE MAY HAVE CUT THE ELECTRIC WIRES FOR THE DOOR LOCK , BY THE WAY I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM IOWA AND IT WAS FREEZING COLD IN JAN-FEB HOW COME A MOUSE GO INSIDE THE DOOR AND SERVIVE AND I HAD OPEN PARKING IN IOWA. I THINK THIS IS SOME FAULTY WORKMAN SHIP AT HONDA OR THE EQUIPMENT IS FAULTY WHICH CONTROL THE DOOR LOCK. NOW PRESSING THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE DOORS SO I HAVE TO PRESS THE DOOR NOB TO CLOSE THE DOOR. MY FAMILY USED TO SAY THEY GET STATIC ELECTRIC SHOCK SOMETIMES WHEN THE GET OUT OF THE CAR AND THEY CLOSE THE DOOR(S). I HAVE ONE EXTRA PROBLEM NOW EARLIER IT WAS ONLY DOOR LOCK PROBLEM NOW S

THE CONSUMER PULLED THE SEAT BACK FORWARD TO PLACE ITEMS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE SEAT BACK WAS PUSHED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION, THE BACK WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE SEAT BACK NOT IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS CITED BY THE POLICE AND SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES TO THE ARMS, LEGS AND HAND. *MR

I FIRST NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN MY 99 ACCORD COUPE V6 TRANSMISSION WHEN IT WAS COLD OUT. THE CAR JERKED BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. IT RAN FINE ONCE THE CAR WARMED UP. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO ASK ABOUT THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD OLDER CARS DO THAT AND IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH WHEN BELOW 40 MPH. MY CAR THEN WOULD NOT LEAVE A STOPPED POSITION UNTIL HITTING AT LEAST 2500 RPM'S THEN IT KICKED INTO GEAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP - THEY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID - CHARGED ME $85 AND ON A SIDE NOTE ON THE BILL THEY STATED "TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT - INTERNAL DAMAGE". THEY DID NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS NOR DID THEY OFFER TO REPAIR THIS AT A CHARGE. WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR I BOUGHT THE 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH I PAID CLOSE TO $1500 FOR. HONDA REALIZED THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND EXTENDED THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY AUTOMATICALLY FOR THE 2000-2002 MODELS. I HAD APPROXIMATELY 108,000 MILES ON MY CAR WHEN I TOOK IT TO HONDA FOR THIS ISSUE. AFTER DEALING WITH HONDA CUSTOMER CARE FOR OVER 3 WEEKS I GOT NOTHING BUT A RUN AROUND FROM THEM. I WAS TOLD TO CALL THE COMPANY THAT HANDLES THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICE, THIS COMPANY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT SURE WHY HCC REFERRED ME TO THEM B/C IT WAS HCC DECISION OF HOW THEY WANTED TO HANDLE MY CASE. IN THE END HONDA DID NOTHING FOR ME. I TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP; AFTER THEY TORE DOWN THE TRANSMISSION THEY FOUND EXTENSIVE DAMA
