HONDA ACCORD IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE LEADING TO ENGINE CUT OUT ON HIGHWAY (GOING 80), ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSED SMOKING FROM DASH. *TR

AFTER MY SECOND HONDA IGNITION SWITCH HAD BEEN REPLACED AFTER ALMOST GETTING ME KILLED BY CUTTING OUT WHILE I WAS GOING 80 (IN A 75), THE REPLACEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN IN MY CAR FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS AND INSTALLED BY HONDA OF FLAGSTAFF AZ, WITH AROUND 1000 MILES ON IT IS NOW EXHIBITING THE SAME PRE-FAILURE SYMPTOMS EXHIBITED BY THE SWITCH IT HAD REPLACED. FAILURE TO START AFTER BEING LEFT IN DIRECT SUN FOR PROLONGED PERIOD. IT THEN WILL STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING, THEN REFUSE TO TURN OVER AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, AND HERE IS THE SAFETY COMPLAINT, THE CAR WILL LOSE ITS ELECTRICS AND THEM SPONTANEOUSLY TURN BACK ON WHILE THE CAR IS BEING OPERATED. THE INCIDENT ON AUGUST 9TH OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS IN ESCONDIDO CA AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15 AND 35 MPH. *TR

ALL DASH LIGHTS GO OUT ON MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. A SAFETY RECALL WAS DONE FOR THIS PROBLEM CAUSED BY A DEFECTED MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT ON THE HONDA ACCORD YEARS 2000 TO 2004. WHY ARE OLDER ACCORDS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL SINCE THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART WAS INSTALLED ON THEM?*TR

THE CLEAR COAT ON MY '99 HONDA ACCORD IS FADED AND THE PAINT HAS STARTED TO COME OFF IN MANY SPOTS. *TR

99 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION FAILED. NO WARNING FROM DASH BOARD. CAN'T SPEED UP ON THE ROAD. *TR

THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH) FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO HER VIN. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE, IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

AT 92 K MILES, THE ALTERNATOR BROKE DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING, THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD ON THE SECOND SHIFT. DEALER ADVISE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 99 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 IS BEHAVING ERRATICALLY AND IS CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION ON THE ROADS AS THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKS AND SPEEDS UP OR SLOWS DOWN AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. AT TIMES THE CAR JUST LOCKS UP INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR ON THE FREEWAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHERS AND FOR MY FAMILY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I NOTICE THAT A LOT OF OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE HAD OR HAVING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH THIS MODEL AND MAKE OF CAR. HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS OF OTHER ACCORDS FOR MODEL YEAR 2000 - 2003, HOWEVER I UNDERSTAND THAT EVEN FOR THE 1999 YEAR ACCORD, IT HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS HAVE COME UP ON THE 2000-2003 MODEL YEARS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION MAKE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 99 HONDA ACCORD ON JUNE 28, 2003 FOR 16,000$ ODOMETER READOUT 56,000 MILES. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED NOISES AND JERKY LIKE MOVEMENTS UPON ACCELERATION ALSO WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDDLE WHEN THE CAR IS TRYING TO IDOL DOWN. AS IF TO BE STUCK OR REVVING IN THE GEAR IN WHICH ITS LEAVING AND ENDS WITH A JERK ONCE IT GETS TO THE GEAR ITS CHANGING TO WITH A REV OR JUMP ESPECIALLY IF ON A HILL. NOW AT JUST OVER 130,000 MILES AND IN THE YEAR 2008 THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AND WORSE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TEMP. MADE BETTER WITH FLUSHING OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THERE IS NO CHANGEABLE TRANSMISSION FLUID FILTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHAT! 130,000 MILES AND IT ALREADY NEEDS REPLACING, THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A HONDA,, HONDA ONCE MEANT RELIABILITY, BIGGEST MILEAGE ECT. I HAVE NOT AS OF TODAY WHICH IS JULY 15, 2008, REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION, AND IM HOPING THAT WITH A LITTLE PRAYER GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON ME AND MY DUMB CAR, BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND YES I AM WILLING TO BET THAT THEY HAVE THIS PART IN STOCK EVEN!! HONDAS GOOD TO HAVE THOSE ODD PARTS THAT BREAK , LETS YOU KNOW THAT YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEMS ON THOSE PARTS. THEY LIKE TO SCREW YOU ONCE YOU DRIVE UP AND TELL YOU LOTS OF THINGS YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO TO YOUR CAR JUST TO TAKE EVERY DIME YOU HAVE TO YOUR NAME. I ONCE SAW A HONDA OUTSIDE THE SHOWROOM WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR,, IT WAS ON SHOWCASE FOR ITS MILEAGE OF OVER 600,000 MILES! IM THINKI

MILEAGE AT START OF PROBLEM,, APP 60,000 NOW 130,000 IN 08! I BOUGHT MY 99 ACCORD WITH 56,000 MILES IN 2003. I WAS CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND HONDA REPLACED IT FOR FREE, ALTHOUGH AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. OK I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STALLING. FIRST TIME WAS ON I40 GOING APP 75. I WAS IN THE OUTER FREAKING LANE AND IT JUST TURNED OFF. I LIVED WITH THIS VERY FREAKING HAZARDOUS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T TRUST HONDA AND MONEY (JUST NOTE ONE OF THE PHONE CALLS FROM HONDA THE MAN TOLD ME HE THOUGHT IT WAS MY IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR THIS FREAKING TIME BUT LATER DECIDED IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE,!)I WAS IN COLLEGE TAKING MY EMT PRACTICALS WITH AN EMS SYSTEM AND WAS HAVING TO DRIVE TO ANOTHER COUNTY AND BE IN CONTACT VIA CELL PHONE WITH HONDA, AND BORROW MY DADS TRUCK!! THEY HAD MY CAR FOR DAYS AND KEEP CALLING AND ASKING IF ONE OF THERE MECHANICS COULD DRIVE MY CAR TO LUNCH ,, AND IF THEY COULD TAKE IT HOME OVER NIGHT AND SO ON, AND FINALLY SAID IT WOULDN'T STALL FOR THEM!!!!! I WAS '!@#$%! THEY DID ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST OF 75$ AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T EVEN ON! THEY ALSO SAID I NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS, I HAD NEW SPARK PLUGS AND IM NOT AN IDIOT,, THERE WAS NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ?!@#$% THINGS. THEY ALSO EVENTUALLY DECIDED THAT I NEEDED MY FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED, BECAUSE THEY REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID THEMS

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED IN THE LOCKED POSITION WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS PRESENTED A VERY REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN AN EMERGENCY. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS $1,300 FOR A $100 PART. I WENT TO MY HONDA INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND PAID $505.31. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARD OF THIS BREAKDOWN AND PRICE GOUGING BY THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS MY REQUEST THAT THE REPAIR WORK BE COVERED UNDER DISCRETIONARY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

I TOOK MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT 78,000 MILES WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO CODE IN THE COMPUTER AND MY GAS CAP WAS THE CULPRIT. THEY SAID THEY RESET COMPUTER AND ALL WAS GOOD WELL IF YOU RESET THE COMPUTER THIS MEANS YOU CLEARED ANY CODES WITCH OH BY THE WAY THERE WERE NOT ANY CODES RIGHT... LOW AND BEHOLD AT JUST AFTER 84000 MILES THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON ,AND THIS TIME THERE IS A CODE CAT AND O2 SENSOR NO GOOD 1,100.00 DOLLARS LATER IM SENT ON MY WAY. NOW AT 126,000 THE INFAMOUS P1457 CODE REARS ITS UGLY HEAD AND READ THAT HONDA MAY HAVE EXTENDED THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY TO 14 YEARS/130,000 MILES. IF THIS IS TRUE WHY WAS I CHARGED FOR CAT AND O2 SENSOR BACK AT 84,000 MILES???LETS JUST SAY IM NOT A VERY HAPPY HONDA CUSTOMER RIGHT NOW. *TR

1999 HONDA ACCORD DRIVER"S SEAT HAS DEVELOPED EXCESSIVE LOOSENESS (ROCKING MOTION). HONDA OF AMERICA ISSUED A PRODUCT UPDATE IN 2003 , BUT IS UNWILLING TO REPAIR PROBLEMS THAT AROSE AFTER 2005. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE CONTACT WIGGLES THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES RESTART. A MECHANIC INFORMED HIM OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 02V120000, 03V423000, AND 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION:SWITCH); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER ASSISTED SEAT TILTED BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER IN REFERENCE TO ACTION NUMBER PE02072. A REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THEY WOULD RESERVE THEIR RIGHT TO PROVIDE A FREE REMEDY UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A TECHNICIAN. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 130,000. UPDATED 06/25/08*CN THE DEALER STATED THE SLIDER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPALCED AS THE BROKEN BRACKET WAS INTEGRAL WITH IT AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE SEAT LURCHED BACKWARDS. UPDATED 06/25/08

MY 99 HONDA ACCORD EX CUTS OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS DUE TO IGNITION SENSOR WHICH I CORRECTED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY CAR WITH RICK HENDRICK HONDA. NOW YEARS LATER THERE IS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION INTERLOCK. BUT, HONDA WILL NOT FIX THE IGNITION SENOR BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. CERTAINLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER AND I FEEL IT'S UNFAIR THAT HONDA WILL ONLY FIX HALF OF THE PROBLEM AND BURDEN THE COST TO ME. I DON'T THINK I'M ALONE WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IGNITION SENSOR. I HAD THE RECALL IGNITION INTERLOCK FIX AT HONDA OF COLUMBIA, P.O. BOX 8234 , COLUMBIA, SC 29202. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING FROM 1ST TO 2NF GEAR, IT WAS MILDLY NOTICEABLE. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY TRANSMISSION AUTO SHOPS AND THEY SAID I WOULD BE FINE AND THERE WAS NOT ANY INDICATION OF PROBLEMS FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT FOR A YEAR. THEN ONE DAY IT SHIFTED SO HARD I BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE INTERSECTIONS TO FIND A PLACE TO PARK IT. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. HAD THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY CITY, I KNOW IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR WILL STALL. I THEN HAVE TO JIGGLE THE KEY TO START THE CAR UP. SOMETIME IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT GOING WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT OCCURS ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS AND OCCURS WHILE STOPPED A LIGHT TO EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING WHILE DRIVING IN FOUR GEAR. WHILE THIS HAS YET TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, THE POSSIBILITY IS VERY HIGH. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2002 (#02V120000). I CALLED HONDA TO FIND OUT WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OR WHY THE DEAL DID NOT FIX DURING MY COUNTLESS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE VISITS. OUT OF 1,000,000 RECALLS I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED FOR THE YEAR OF MY CAR, BUT I AM BEING TOLD IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH A 4 CYLINDER VTEC ENGINE. 1-12-08 WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS--TYPICALLY 30 TO 45 MPH THE CAR WILL JERK AND CHANGE GEARS WHEN NOT NEEDED. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR STALLS AND I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL TO RESTART. UPDATE: MAY 2008 AND I HAVE NO REVERSE GEAR AT ALL. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHY HONDA HAS NOT PUT A RECALL ON THESE 1998 AND 1999 TRANSMISSIONS. WHY? DOES SOMEONE REALLY HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY FIX THEIR OWN PROBLEM? I AM CALLING HONDA IN THE MORNING AND IF I DON'T GET SATISFACTORY RESULTS I WOULD LIKE TO START A NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST HONDA. THIS IS CRAZY AND I WANT ANSWERS. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DEALER SAYS THE P0740 CODE IS TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY FAILURE IS A $2900 REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION JOB. A TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME THE SAME THING. A TRANSMISSION WITH 71,000 MILES, EVEN 7 YEARS OLD, SHOULD NOT GO OUT!!!! THERE WAS A HONDA TRANSMISSION CLASS ACTION SUIT COVERING ONLY 2000-2003 TRANNYS, MY MODEL YEAR IS EXCLUDED BUT SAME PROBLEM EXISTS !!!!! *TR

I WAS TRYING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR STALLED. WHEN I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND TRIED TO COAST OFF THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND RESTART NINE TIMES IN A 3 MILE STRETCH. THE LAST TIME I PULLED OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT RESTART. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED TO START THE CAR. IT STARTED. I DROVE THE NEXT 10 MILES HOLDING THE KEY STEADYING IN THE IGNITION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPED BUT I GOT HOME WITHOUT IT STALLING AGAIN. I KNEW IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED TWICE PREVIOUSLY. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY EMISSION SYSTEM AND I HAD TO HAVE MY EVAC CANISTER REPLACED ($250). I DID THAT AND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND RESTARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR MAN WHO TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. HE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE CAR HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. *TR

PROBLEM WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT APPLIES TO OF THE SAFETY ITEMS ON THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. I WAS CHARGE BY A HONDA DEALER $498.00 INCLUDING TAXES. THE REASON I HAVE I BROUGHT MY CAR WAS: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ( I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IS NOT ON THE TICKET ). AS A SECONDARY ISSUE I HAVE MENTIONING THE LOCK NOT WORKING PROPERLY AS A RESULT OF YOUR PREVIOUS WORK (RECALL IN 2007). YOUR TECHNICIAN HAS TOLD ME THAT WAS A NORMAL THING. THE MECHANICAL FROM FIRESTONE RAFAEL TOLEDO, (PHONE +1 (305) 667-4866) DISAGREE WITH YOUR SUGGESTIONS AT THAT TIME, THE CAR SHOULD NOT BEEN RETURNED TO ME WITH THE LOCK LIKE THAT, BUT THAT WAS NOT IMPORTANT TO ME NOT EVEN NOW.. ANYWAYS IT ALWAYS TURN MY CAR ON. I TOLD THE ADVISOR NOT TO PROCEED WITH THE RECODE OF THE OLD KEY BECAUSE IT WAS WORN; I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. ( PHONE CONVERSATIONS). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH OVER THE COURSE OF TWO MONTHS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AS USUAL, WHEN MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL GOT STUCK WHILE TRYING TO FIND A PARKING SPACE. IT WAS A COLD MORNING, AROUND 12 DEGREES, SO I FIRST THOUGHT THAT I WAS SLIPPING ON ICE AND HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. ONCE OFF THE ICY PATCH, MY CAR CONTINUED TO TAKE OFF ON ME, EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. IT ACTUALLY CONTINUED TO SPEED UP AND THAT WAS THE MOMENT I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE. I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SO I DID NOT HAVE ALOT OF ROOM OR TIME TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR ACTUALLY JUMP OUT. I SPED OUT OF THE ENTRY, THROUGH THE STREET, OVER THE CURB, THROUGH THE FENCE AND LANDED ON RAILROAD TIES, THAT THANKFULLY HIGH CENTERED ME, AND ANOTHER FENCE THAT ULTIMATELY STOPPED ME. BOTH BAGS DEPLOYED AND MY CAR WAS TOTALED. ONCE I KNEW THAT I WAS O.K., I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. THAT, I KNOW, IS NOT RIGHT. THE WHOLE TIME I COULD SMELL BURNT RUBBER OR BRAKES. I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL, AND I DEFINITELY HAD MY BRAKES APPLIED. WHY WOULD I WANT TO CAUSE THIS KIND OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND ESPECIALLY MYSELF ? I COULD HAVE ACTUALLY KILLED MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE RAILROAD TIES THAT HIGH CENTERED ME. I WOULD HAVE GONE RIGHT THROUGH THE SECOND FENCE AND ENDED UP, WHO KNOWS WHERE. I DEFINITELY HAD AN ANGEL WATCHING OVER ME. I AM SO UPSET AND SORE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I SPENT ALL DAY ON THE INTERNET LOOKING AT OTHER INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH ACCELERATOR PR

HI, I OWN A 1999 4 DOOR AUTOMATIC HONDA ACCORD EX-UL, BUT THE TRANSMISSION LITERALLY FAILED ON THIS CAR AND IS DUE TO THE FACT OF A DEFECTIVE PART, WHICH I FOUND FROM READING VARIOUS ARTICLE ON THE WEBSITE. THE HONDA IS NOT ACCEPTING ITS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN SERIAL COMPLAINTS OUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THE WEBSITE. HONDA HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY RECALL ON 2000-2001 HONDA ACCORD MODELS, BY THEY HAVEN'T DONE FOR 1999 MODELS. MY PERSONAL VIEW IS THAT THEY ARE AVOID A HUGE RECALL BY HIDING THE PROBLEM. I WOULD REQUEST YOU TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER AS IT MAY CAUSE LOTS OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE OF THE FREEWAY. SINCE HONDA IS PROTECTING HIMSELF, WE WOULD NEED YOU HELP TO CHECK ON THE REALITY OF BAD TRANSMISSION PUT IN 1999 HONDAS. *TR

CAR IS STALLING AND SEEMS THAT TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IN RESEARCHING WEB, I HAVE RUN ACROSS AT LEAST 20 DRIVERS, WITH EXACT SAME MAKE, MODEL ETC. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS 120K MILES, SOME ONLY HAD 60K WHEN THEIR TRANSMISSION FAILED. EVERY MECHANIC THAT I SPOKE WITH (INCLUDING DEALERSHIP) ADMITS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IN THESE MODELS ARE KNOWN TO FAIL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A DEALER AS REPUTABLE AS HONDA HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO REENGINEER THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, EVEN THE 2004 MODELS HAVE TRANSMISSIONS BEGINNING TO FAIL. IT SEEMS EXTREMELY UNFAIR THAT THE CUSTOMERS ARE THE ONES FOOTING THE BILL. *TR

SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL JUST STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. EXTREMELY PERILOUS WHEN IT HAPPENS IN A TURN AND AT LOW SPEEDS BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING OR IF SITTING AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. IT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE IGNITION. DASH LIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT FLASH ON AN OFF. ADJUSTMENT OF THE IGNITION KEY POSITION/ANGLE FIXES IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF AND HAVE TO BE RESTARTED WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN DRIVING AT FAST SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ITSELF. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 147,500. * UPDATED 12/12/07 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I HAVE A 99 HONDA ACCORD IN WHICH THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND REALIZED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART AND TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE ALTERNATOR BUT THE MECHANIC SAID NO BECAUSE THE LIGHT WOULD HAVE COME ON. HE SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THESE IN 2003. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BECAUSE HONDA SAID MY SWITCH WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AS THE SWITCH WITH THE RECALL. I CALLED HONDA TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND TO FIND OUT WHY THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM.

I CAN ADD ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURE FROM A HONDA ACCORD 1999. THIS CAR HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED TRANSMISSIONS ON HONDA ACCORD FROM 2000 TO 2002. MY TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAKED AT 110,000 MILES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 149,000 MILES FOR $2100. OF COURSE, THE REASON I BOUGHT A HONDA WAS BETTER ENGINEERING. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT I HAVE A FALSE PERCEPTION OF THE HONDA QUALITY. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AND I DON'T THINK AT THIS TIME THAT MY NEXT CAR WILL BE A HONDA AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE GOTTEN UNSOLD ON THEM. BASED ON ALL OF THE OTHER LETTERS I SAW ON THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND THE FACT THESE CARS HAD LOWER MILEAGE, I DON'T THINK I HAVE A PRAYER ON HONDA KICKING IN SOMETHING FOR THE REPAIR. NEXT TIME I BUY A CAR I AM STARTING WITH THESE LETTERS ON CARS AT THIS WEBSITE FIRST!!!! CARS ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE TO HAVE TO SETTLE FOR PROBLEMS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR FELT AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS AT ABOUT 95K MILES, BUT THIS SEEMED VERY EARLY FOR A TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. I GOT THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT, WHICH COST ME ABOUT $1600. FILING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER A FEW YEARS, BUT I RECENTLY HEARD THE 1998 HONDA ACCORDS ARE HAVING A RECALL. MINE IS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. *TR
