1999 Honda Accord complaints

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES DUE TO DETERIORATION. THE TRUNK LATCH, TIMING BELT, BALANCER BELT, AND THE POWER DOOR ACTUATOR WERE REPLACED, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ADJUSTED, THE ARE REST AND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED, THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT, AND THE WINDOWS RATTLED. *PH *JB

THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYED ON. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *NLM SCC

THE VEHICLE DIED DUE TO THE FUEL LINE COMING OFF, WHICH WAS DUE TO THE FAULTY INSTALLATION OF THE GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS SENT A RECALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. SCC

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND LURCHES. REQUESTED DEALER SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT. FLUIDS REPLACED, BUT NO SERVICE PERFORMED. SERVICE MANAGER EVASIVE AND MIS-LEADING. MADE APPOINTMENT FOR ADJUSTMENT, FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE, DEALER DID JUST ONE. FLUID WAS NOT BURNT OR DISCOLORED. PROBLEM PERSISTS. WARRANTY EXTENSION SHOULD BE ORDERED EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 1999 MODEL. *NLM

THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES THEN HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE FRONT BRAKES HAD BROKEN AND THAT THE CALIPERS WERE VERY BAD. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THEY WOULD ONLY CHECK FOR A PROBLEM AT COST. WOULD NOT REPAIR. *NLM

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY INTO GEAR, IT WAS SLOW IN SHIFTING. WHEN EVER THIS HAPPENS, ENGINE WOULD REV UP. *JB

INTERMITTENT STALLING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. ALSO REPLACED TRANSMISSION. *AK

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

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. THE DEALER HAD TO DISCONNECT THE ALARM IN ORDER TO DO THE REPAIR. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE ALARM RECONNECTED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT. *NLM *JB

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

THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT SEND THE PARTS FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL 02 V 120 000, TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THE DEFECT HAPPENED.*JB

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

HONDA ACCORD 99', TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 60,000 MILES. OTHER YEARS (98) HAVE HAD WARRANTY EXTENDED DUE TO DESIGN FAILURE, BUT NOT THE 99. 99 SHOULD BE INCLUDED! *JB

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

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEAT ADJUSTER AND GAS GAUGE PROBLEMS. *AK *JB

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE FASTER.*JB

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

RE: 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX (VIN: [XXX]) WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 25-30 MPH (APPROX), THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING CLANKING NOISE AND ENGINE DIED. SHE LET IT ROLLED, PULLED OVER AND PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE MAIN PULLEY BROKE LOOSE AND THE DRIVE BELTS CAME OFF THE ROLLERS DUE TO A BROKEN (SHEARED OFF) BOLT THAT ATTACHED THE PULLEY TO THE CRANKSHAFT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 61K MILES ON IT AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS TOTALLY PREMATURE. THE BALL HONDA SERVICE REP TOLD US THAT HONDA MOTORS CO. WILL NOT COVER FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT THIS IS TOTALLY PREMATURE I THOUGHT, AND MAYBE IT WAS CAUSED BY INFERIOR MATERIAL (BOLT) AND/OR BY POOR QUALITY WORKMANSHIP (OVER-TORQUE'D). THE CAR HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE BY HONDA DEALER AND HAS NO PREVIOUS ENGINE WORK DONE EXCEPT FOR THE MFR RECOMMENDED REGULARLY-SCHEDULED SERVICES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION MAKING GRINDING NOISE AND HAVING TROUBLE WITH GEARS AND ENGINE RPM. HONDA DEALER ADMITS IT'S TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. MILAGE IS ONLY 37500 MILES ON.VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND PUBLIC SAFETY. SHOULD RECALL OR EXTEND WARRANTY.
