1999 Honda Accord complaints

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD WAS AT HOWDY HONDA ON 6/26/2002 FOR TROUBLE WITH HARD, JERKY SHIFTING AT 20 MPH. WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT. ON 7/31/2002, EXPERIENCED EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING AT 40 MPH. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, DIE DOWN, AND THEN SUDDENLY JERK INTO GEAR. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN UNTIL TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON 8/2/2002. WAS INFORMED AT THIS TIME BY SAME DEALERSHIP (6/26/2002) THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

THE KNOCKING NOISE WAS THERE SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR.THE DEALER SAID THAT'S NORMAL WITH NEW HONDAS B/C THE GEARS . HAD BROKEN-IN, BENEFIT OF A DOUBT. BUT AFTER THAT THE KNOCKING HAPPENED MO RE OFTEN I BECAME SUSPICIOUS AND ASKED A FRIEND WITH A 4CYL '99 ACCORDLX HE SAID THAT HE NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM. MINE WAS AN EXV6 TOP OF THE LINE THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. AND THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY HEARD IT AT LEAST ONCE BUT THAY SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND SO THEY CAN'T PINPOINT WH AT'S CAUSING IT. THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN FIXED A LONG TIME AGO BY THE DEALER. BRAKES AND STEERING DID NOT WORK, CAR FROZE,CAUSING ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD: REPAIR MECH ANIC SAID,'TIMING BELT". MAINTENANCE WAS DONE 2 MO. PRIOR AT DEALER. THE DEALER SERVICE STATION SHOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE TIMING BELT. EVEN SO THE CAR SHOULD NO T FREEZE B/C OF A TIMING BELT- BRAKES AND STEERING ARE VITAL TO A VEHICLES SAFET Y WITHOUT THESE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS ARE JUST CUSHIONS FOR ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM TO PREVENT CRASHES INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON CRASH SAFETY. I LOST A CAR BUT I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE FROM THIS H ORRIFYING ORDEAL. I WANT AT LEAST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE CAR FROM EITHER THE MANU FACTURER OR THE DEALER.*AK

RETURNED TO CAR TO FIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE FULLY RECLINED POSITION. IT IS APPARANT THAT THE SEAT/SHOULDER BELT WILL HANG UP ON THE ADJUSTING LEVER OF THE SEAT AND CAUSE IT TO RECLINE OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MINUTES. THE DEALER SHIP WAS TOLD OF THIS ON MARCH 20, 2002. THEY SAID, "THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BELT IS TWISTED."

SEAT TRACK IS BROKEN AND SEAT IS FLOPPING AROUND. THE METAL PIECE THAT ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME HAS BROKEN OFF. WHEN LOOKING AT THE BREAK, OBSERVED METAL SHAVINGS ON FLOOR AND A LOT OF METAL SHAVINGS AT THE POINT OF THE BREAK. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART OR WORKMANSHIP. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAD HAD AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT WOULD NOT HAVE HELD AND I COULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT, THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED AT ALL. OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE PART REQUIRED TO FIX THIS BUT THEY SAID THE PART WAS AROUND $700! I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. I SEE THAT MINE IS THE 4TH COMPLAINT REPORTED TO YOU REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE.

STOPPED AT A TRAIN CROSSING,I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO CLOSE A 15 FT GAP FROM THE CAR AHEAD. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT OF CONTROLACCELERATING ON ITS OWNI PRESSED THE BRAKE & THREW IT INTO PARK BUT CRASHED INTO UTILITY POLE.*AK

MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE ENGINE TROUBLE WITH MY 1999 ACCORD. WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR "MISFIRES" ACCORDING TO THE GRESHAM HONDA DEALERSHIP. THIS IS WHERE THE CAR IS BEING SERVICED. CONTACT NAME AND NUMBER WOULD BE MARK CAWTHORN @ 503-676-7070. I AM VERY HESITANT TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC AT ANY SPEED BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY CAR WILL MISFIRE. AT TIMES THE ACCELERATION STICKS AT BOTH 2-3RPMS. BASICALLY, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON WHEN THE CAR HESITATES. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THAT THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE CHECK LIGHT DID COME ON. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY ON IT'S 5TH STAY WITH HONDA. THEY(HONDA AND THEIR TECHNICIANS) SEEM TO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HOPEFULLY THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED EASILY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, QUICKLY. I'D HATE TO BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT, I HAVE HAD A FAILURE WITH MY ABS. WHILE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, I BARELY STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION WHILE BRAKES LOCKED UP ON PAVEMENT. I HAVE HAD PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE ON SUCH OCCASIONS AND EACH WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE TESIMONIES TO SUCH FAILURES AS LISTED ABOVE. IN FACT, THE HONDA TECHNICIAN HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED THE "MISFIRE" FIRST HAND IN MY ACCORD. I MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO REACH WITH COLLEGE AND TWO JOBS BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE MESSAGES AT EITHER PHONE NUMBER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AMBER WEIMERSKIRCH. *AK (TIRESIZE: W-10)

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SITTING IN STOPPED TRAFFIC WHEN AN SUV REAR ENDED ME GOING ABOUT 40 TO 45 MPH . IT THEN SENT ME INTO A TRUCK THAT WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. MY SEAT THE DRIVERS SIDE COLAPSED AND I ENDED UP LAYING FLAT IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER TALKING TO THE BODY SHOP I FOUND OUT ALL THE GEARS IN THE POWER SEAT WERE STRIPPED CAUSING BACK INJURY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER COLASPED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER ALONG WITH HONDA CONSUMER RELATION AND THE SAFETY COUNCIL AND RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION THEY ALL JUST PASSED THE BUCK BACK TO ONE ANOTHER IT WAS A VICIOUS CIRCLE.*AK

EMISSION VALVE HAS BEEN CLOGGED. *AK *SLC

CONSUMER WAS AT A STOP WHEN VEHICLE WAS REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELLING 45 MPH. UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S SEATBACK BROKE. NO INJURIES, VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP AT THIS TIME. DAMAGE ABOUT $ 5000.00.*AK

I WAS GOING DOWN HILL ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN TOWN AND GAVE A SIGNAL TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A STREET. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE STREET THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. A TRUCK WAS COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I TURNE THE CORNER AND I TURNED LEFT INTO SOME BUSHES AND ROCKS TO MISS IT. THE POLICE OFFICER AND THE WRECKER DRIVER TRIED THE BRAKES AND SAID THE BRAKES WERE OUT. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED UNDER WARRENTY AND THE SERVICE MANGAGER SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND HAD MY BROTHER IN LAW DRIVE THE CAR HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN ON HIM BEFORE HE GOT THE CAR HOME. MY SON IS AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND REPAIRED THE BRAKES. HE SAID THE WHEEL HAD NOT BEEN OFF THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKE DRUMS WERE STILL RUSTED ONTO THE REAR AXLE. HE ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES, CHECKED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND INSTALLED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE NOW. IT COST MY INSURANCE COMPANY $4100.00 TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.*AK

FOR NO APPARENT REASON MY CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THIS ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FORCING ME TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP WHETHER I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR SURFACE STREETS.
