THE CLEAR COAT/PAINT IS PEELING/WEARING OFF OF MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD. IT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOK HORRIBLE. THOUSANDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. CLEARLY THIS IS A RESULT OF DEFECTIVE PAINT. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1993 ACCORD AND AT 196,000 MILES, THE PAINT LOOKED A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THEN THE PAINT ON MY 1999. TO HAVE THE CAR REPAINTED, IT WILL COST OVER $1000. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND THE PAINT BE RECALLED. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF, BUT RESTARTED, ALL THE ELECTRONICS WERE NOT AFFECTED. A SECOND EVENT HAPPENED TWO WEEKS LATER WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 65MPH, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES WERE AFFECTED. *TR

THE CAR CUTS OFF AT ANY GIVING TIME THE LIGHTS ARE DIM AND THE ELECTRICAL IS MALFUNTIONING. *TR

MY CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I AM AFRAID. *TR

AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. AFTER PULLING OVER THE ENGINE WILL RESTART MOST OF THE TIME. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF TWICE ON THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT SOME OLD HONDA MODELS HAD THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS AND IT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTED IGNITION SWITCH. I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER BUT THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL REGARDING OF THIS PROBLEM. I GOT MY IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED IN A MECHANIC SHOP. *JS

CAR HAS INTERMITTENT STALLING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED IN LEESBURG HONDA, ONLY KNOWN THRU CARFAX REPORT. LEESBURG HONDA COULD NOT VERIFY IF IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPAIRED FROM RECALL STATUS. VERIFICATION CAME FROM CHARLOTTESVILLE BROWN'S HONDA THAT SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT NOT BY WHO. TOLD IF KEY WAS SHOOK WHILE RUNNING AND CAR STALLED THEN IT WAS IGNITION SWITCH. CAR STILL PERSISTS INTERMITTENTLY IN SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING SIGNS. SOMETIMES, AFTER STALL, IT TAKES SEVERAL TURNS OF KEY TO FINALLY GET CAR STARTED. STALLING CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND HAS IN FAST LANES OF HIGHWAYS MAKING CAR A LITTLE HARD TO STEER OF THE ROAD. ONLY HAZARD LIGHTS WORK TO SEND WARNING SIGN OF CAR TROUBLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. MY CAR STARTED TRYING TO GO OUT ON ME LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING THE FUEL IT NEEDED OR SOMETHING. I WAS GOING 65MPH AND THEN ALSO WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT IT TRIES TO IDLE OUT OR IT DOES GO OUT. *TR

MY HONDA1999 BARLEY HAS 79,000 ON IT, IM SECOND OWNER. I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT HAD ONLY 37,000 MIL. ON IT. THE CAR IS ALREADY HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT JERKS WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP, LIKE A POP JERKY FEEL. MY COOLING SYSTEM HAD PROBLEM IN 2010 OIL GOING INTO MY RADIATOR. AND KNOW I HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE CAR AT TIMES WOULD GO OFF. 79,000 I CANT BELIEVE IT. YOU WOULD THINK THIS MY CAR WAS A FORD WITH THEIR OLDER MODULES. KNOWN TO HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS AFTER 70,000. THIS IS CRAZY. I HAVE ALL PAPERS FROM FIRST OWNER, NEVER REALIZED TILL REACHING THE CHAOS OF MY ENGINE. THAT MY CAR AS WELL WAS A RECALL. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS IN DRIVE-THRU AT MCDONALD'S WHEN THE ENGINE DIED SUDDENLY. SHE WAS ABLE TO STARTED BACK UP RIGHT AWAY BY TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND ON TO CRANK THE ENGINE. LATER AROUND 1PM ON THE SAME DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 101 AT 65 MPH, THE ENGINE DIED SUDDENLY, THE 'KEY IN IGNITION WARNING' CAME ON THAT WARNS THE DRIVER NOT TO FORGET TO TAKE THE KEY OUT BEFORE LEAVING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR COASTED WITH ENGINE DEAD JUST A SHORT DISTANCE AND THE ENGINE STARTED UP AGAIN. THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER THAT UNTIL MY WIFE GOT HOME. I GOOGLED '1999 HONDA ACCORD ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING' AND FOUND A DOZEN OTHER DRIVERS HAD POSTED ABOUT THE SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR HONDA ACCORD. I FOUND THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH IS THE CAUSE OF ENGINE SHUT-OFF AND THERE'S HONDA RECALL ON THEM. THE CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH IN NOVEMBER 2006 AT 135,500 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT A DEALER AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED THERE. *TR

MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BADLY. WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND SECOND GEAR IT JUMPS BADLY AND SOMETIMES WONT SHIFT AT ALL. AND EVEN FROM SECOND TO THIRD IT DOES IT TOO. AFTER I'M IN THE HIGHER GEARS IT SHIFTS BETTER. BUT IN THOSE EARLY GEARS MY CAR IS DANGEROUS. I'M AFRAID IT MIGHT COMPLETELY STOP WORKING ONE DAY. I'VE READ ONLINE ALL THE COMPLAINTS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT MY SAME YEAR OF ACCORD AND THE YEARS SURROUNDING IT: ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I THINK THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FESS UP ABOUT THEIR FAULTY TRASMISSION AND DO A REAL RECALL. I'M ONE OF MANY CONCERNED HONDA OWNERS AND WISH THAT THEY WOULD OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE WONT BE GOING BACK TO HONDA BRAND CARS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING ME. *TR

OVER THE LAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE CAR SUDDENLY TURNING OFF....NO RPM'S, NO SPEED...WHILE I AM STILL IN DRIVE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). IN VIEWING VARIOUS WEBSITES, THIS IS NOW BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE...AND IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALTHOUGH HEADLIGHTS STILL WORK, POWER STEERING IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE...SO I MUST HURRIEDLY SHIFT INTO N TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT INTERSECTIONS, ON THE HIGHWAY (AT 70 MPH) AND WHILE GOING 20 MPH. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED ON THE IGNITION FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IN/AROUND 2002-2003. I RECEIVED THIS LATE...BUT DID GO TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT REPLACED IN 2009 (HONDA RECALL #02V120000). AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM RECENTLY, I HAVE GONE ONLINE TO SEE COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS....EVEN AFTER HAVING THE RECALL FILLED. EVIDENTLY, THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN FAILING...OR IT WAS NOT THE FIX TO BEGIN WITH. THIS HAS WAS A VERY POPULAR MODEL..AND THERE ARE SURE TO BE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE ON THE ROAD...ABOUT TO RUN INTO SOMETHING WHEN THE POWER FAILS. I AM GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS RESOLVED...BUT IT IS INCUMBENT UPON YOUR ORGANIZATION TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REVIEWED..AND A SOLUTION AVAILABLE...ASAP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS....I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A FRIGHTENING PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. THANK YOU. *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY, MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF AND HAD TO PULL OVER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT BUSY, BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT LATELY. THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE A CAR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THEY HAVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. AT FIRST I CHANGED THE MAIN RELAY TO A BRAND NEW ONE FROM HONDA. BUT IT STILL DID THE SAME THING, TILL IT DIDN'T START AGAIN. *TR

UPDATE TO ODI 10444643 FILED 1/20/12. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION AND THE HONDA TOTALLY STALLED AND THE GREEN KEY LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LOSE TOTAL POWER BUT IT STALLED WHILE A FAST VEHICLE APPROACHED FROM THE RIGHT. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD NOT GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT A WRECK. IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. AFTER THAT FIRST EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE TOTALLY LOST POWER WHILE AT A STOP SIGN IN A MALL. IT TOOK 2 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART CAR. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD POSSIBLY BE SO I RESEARCHED THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS HONDA HAD IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2007 AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 121,200 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2002 DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. AM "IGNITION SWITCH UPDATE" WAS COMPLETED ON 10/1/02 AT 59,183 MILES. BY AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL JAN 2012. LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS SWITCH AGAIN BUT IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. CAN'T IMAGINE THIS PROBLEM AT 70 MPH. UPDATE; TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER ON 1/23/12 AND TOLD THE TECH WHAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE TEST SHOWED IT WAS INDEED THE IGNITION SWITCH ONCE AGAIN . THE COST FOR REPLACING WAS $206. 36. . SO, HONDA'S RECALL IN 2002 DID NOT CORRECT THIS DEFECT. *TR

HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR RECALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. AT THEIR SUGGESTION I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. JUST RECENTLY I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR REPLACEMENT AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. WHY WAS THE ORIGINAL SWITCH A SAFETY CONCERN IN THEIR EYES BUT THEIR DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT SWITCH IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FAILURE OF THEIR REPLACEMENT SWITCH. *TR

CAR WOULD JUST SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING CREATING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WOULD USUALLY RESTART AFTERWARDS AND RUN FINE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 2002 WHICH I HAD PERFORMED. APPARENTLY REMAINS A PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLE AGES AS I JUST HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED FOR A SECOND TIME 9 YEARS LATER. *TR

UPON INSPECTION OF VEHICLE BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC THE SUBFRAME(CROSS MEMBER) WAS FOUND UNSAFE AND RUSTED OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH HOLES AND BROKEN.

AT TIMES, ENGINE SUDDENLY DIES OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP (TRAFFIC LIGHT; STOP SIGN). THE CAR HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I CAN EASILY PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" AGAIN AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS 80K MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. AFTER A FEW OF THESE SCARY EXPERIENCES, TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ATLANTA GA. COST OF $160 (DESCRIPTION - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE - BG FUEL SERVICE ALL - CLEANED THROTTLE BODY). ASSUMED THIS WOULD HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE. I WAS WRONG. IN TWO MORE OCCASIONS - HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A "STOP SIGN". THE CAR STARTED AGAIN (TAKES A WHILE IN AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THOUGH). I WAS LUCKY A CAR BEHIND ME HAD ENOUGH SPACE TO STOP. THIS TIME, I RESEARCHED THE WEB AND NOTICED MANY OWNERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HONDA ACCORD 1999. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THOUGH (THE CAR HAD NOT YET STOPPED WHILE DRIVING IN A BUSY TRAFFIC). AT 20,374 MILE, THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE "2002 SAFETY RECALL - ACCORD IGNITION SWITCH" - "ELECTRICAL IGNITION SWITCH FP NUMBER : 3510-S84-305 (SWITCH E 79530)", THIS WAS DONE ON 12/03/02. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 10/28/11. I ASKED THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO LOOK INTO THE 2002 IGNITION SWITCH RECALL ; CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS & WHAT ELSE WAS PERFORMED TO CORRECT IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SERVICE ADVISER WAS AWARE OF THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH HONDA ACCORDS (1999). THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SURPRISED ME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THERE WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH) THAT STATED THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD HAD TO BE REPLACED AND MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH) FOR THE REDESIGNED INTERLOCK LEVER AND WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

THIS IS A V6 AUTOMATIC. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE EXACTLY AS HONDA HAS INSTRUCTED. I HAVE EVEN GONE AS FAR TO ONLY GET IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED WEIRD FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. AT 75000 MILES IT BEGAN HARD SHIFTING INTO 1ST AND AROUND 85000 MILES IT BEGAN TO NOT WANT TO SHIFT FROM 1ST INTO 2ND AND ESPECIALLY 2ND BACK TO 1ST. NOW PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE IS CAUSING PROBLEMS. THIS ISSUE WITH 1999 V-6 AUTOMATICS IS DOCUMENTED EVERYWHERE. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE AWARE THE ISSUE IS WIDE SPREAD AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS A WIDE SPREAD DEFECT AND THE NHTSA SHOULD PUT SOME PRESSURE ON HONDA TO STEP-UP. A WELL MAINTAINED ENGINE SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 90K MILES ON THIS HONDA. NOT OK AND HONDA KNEW AND KNOWS THEY BUILT A CAR WITH A MAJOR DEFECT. *TT
