1999 Honda Accord complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 73,000 MILES

TIRES PLUS ON ROUTE 192 IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA SOLD MY 21 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER A BRAND NEW SET OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES HIGH PERFORMANCE. THEY TOLD HER HER CAR (A 1999 HONDA ACCORD TWO DOOR) COULD ONLY USE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES AND NOT THE LESS EXPENSIVE BRAND. THIS WAS IN APRIL OR 4 MONTHS AGO. THE TIRES ARE NOW BALD AND STRINGS ARE FLYING OFF THEM. WHEN SHE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TIRES PLUS THEY SAOID THAT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE ON THOSE TIRES. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO MILEAGE WARRANTY. THE SALESMAN TOLD HER THAT THEY GAVE HER A BREAK ON HER ALIGNEMENT. SHE SAID SHE NEVER ASKED FOR A BREAK AND HAD NO IDEA THEY GAVE HER ONE AND WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE DEFECTED ( ALL FOUR) TIRES. THEY TOLD HER THE AIR PRESSURE WAS 31 POUNDS AND SHOULD BE 35 LBS. SHE TOLD THEM SHE PUMPS THEM DAILY AND THEY DON'T HOLD THE AIR. THEY TOLD HER THATS' TOUGH AND THEY WOULD SELL HER 4 NEW TIRES FOR JUST OVER THEIR COST. NOW MY 21 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS DRIVING ON BALD FRAYING TIRES. SHE WORKS TWO JOBS AND IS AT THE NIGHT JOB NOW. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO . NEITHER I ( HER MOTHER) NOR SHE CAN PAY FOR NEW TIRES AT THE MOMENT. IF I COULD I WOULD AND MAYBE NEXT MONTH I WILL BUT I DON'T WANT HER TO DRIVE WITH THOSE TIRES ENDANGER HER OR OTHERS. SHE MUST WORK BUT FOR VERY EXPENSIVE TIRES TO BE TOTALLY SHOT AFTER 4 MONTHS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHAT SHOULD WE DO. SHE HAD HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND THE CAR SERVICED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. *AK

REOCCURING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX SEDAN WITH APPROXIMATELY 84,000 MILES ON ODOMETER HAS WARPED FRONT ROTORS. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES, HOWEVER, I ALMOST ALWAYS BOUGHT TOYOTA'S IN THE PAST (AND KEPT MOST TO THE 100,000-MILE MARK). THIS IS MY FIRST HONDA. I'VE REVIEWED ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FILED WITH REGARD TO THIS VEHICLE, AND CONCUR WITH OTHERS THAT THERE IS NO LOGICAL REASON FOR WARPED ROTORS AT THIS POINT. FRONT AND BACK BRAKES WERE REPLACED LAST YEAR (ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS), BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED ROUTINELY, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING ROUTINELY IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC, NOR DO I TAKE MY CAR TO CAR WASHES WHEN IT IS BITTER COLD OUTSIDE (AS THE HONDA REP INDICATED COULD BE THE CAUSE). IN ADDITION TO PAYING FOR PM SERVICE AT HONDA, I NOW HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $138+ FOR ROTOR REPAIRS. MY DRIVE TO WORK IS PRETTY EASY, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO YEARS WHEN I DROVE TO DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS DAILY. IF I WAS EVER GOING TO HAVE "ROTOR WARP" ISSUES, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE VEHICLES THAT DROVE THE CITY MILES. THEREFORE, IT WAS A SURPRISE TO BE HIT WITH "WARPED ROTORS." I WAS ALREADY A HONDA OWNER A WHEN I HEARD ABOUT HOW "SECRETIVE" THEY ARE WITH THEIR QUALITY ISSUES. WHY DO THEY FEEL THE NEED TO HIDE THEIR PARTS, SERVICE, AND DESIGN FLAWS, AND TRY TO EVADE CUSTOMER CARE OPPORTUNITIES? HONDA SHOULD BE UPFRONT AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF THE VEHICLES THEY MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTE, AND PROFIT FROM IN THIS COUNTRY. AFTER ALL, THESE WERE GENUINE HONDA PAR

WHILE DRIVING AND IN MOTION, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS AFTER SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. FOR EXAMPLE, ILL BE IN 3RD GEAR (OR ANY GEAR FOR THAT MATTER) AND I HAVE TO STOP AND THEREFORE I SHIFT OUT OF GEAR AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS. ONE TIME, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR TURNING OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4-6 TIMES. IT STARTED EARLY IN 2002 AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IN 2003 THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 4 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE MAROONE HONDA DEALER (BECAUSE I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THEM) TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, THE TECHNICIANS SAY THEY CANT FIGURE IT OUT AND THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF ANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND/OR IF A REMEDY IS KNOWN. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

SEAT FRAME BRACKET FAILURE ON POWER ASSISTED DRIVER'S SEAT. THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF OF THE SEAT BOTTOM BRACKET FAILED, AND APPEAR TO BE DUE TO THE WELD CONDITION OF THE BRACKET. UNDER ACCELERATION THE SILT TILTS BACKWARDS. CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA JUST CLOSED AN INVESTIGATION ON 3/2003 THIS ISSUE AND DECIDED IT DID NOT WARRANT THE USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES, I WEIGH 190 POUNDS, AND DO NOT JUMP INTO AND OUT OF MY SEAT, IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING SAFETY DEFECT.

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EXV6 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING 3 MONTHS AGO. I CALLED MY DEALER AT THAT TIME BECAUSE I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER NOV 2001 FROM HONDA STATING THAT THERE WAS A WARRANY EXTENSION FOR EGR SYSTEM CLOGGING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT HELP MY CASE. NOW AT 70000 I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.I BOUGHT THIS CAR AFTER OWNING A TOYOTA FOR 12 YEARS W/ NO PROBLEMS. TO SAY THE LEAST I AM DISGUSTED.

1999 HONDA ACCORD EX V-6 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAD BEEN NOTICING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH FUEL INJECTION.

THE NEXT DAY IT FAILED THE TRANSMISSION TEST. DEALER SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR. *NLM
