IT WILL START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IT WILL RUN FINE FOR ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS AND QUIT AGAIN.

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE ON 1999 HONDA ACCORD. NOT ONE OF THE VIN NUMBERS I WAS TOLD THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. HAD TO REPAIR ON MY OWN. THE CAR STOPS RUNNING INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO POWER AT ALL AND THEN RESTARTS. *TR

IN 2002 - 2004 MY 1999 HONDA, ACCORD HAD A RECALL TO REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH, VEHICLE COULD STALL IN TRAFFIC CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED BY HONDA IN 2004. DECEMBER 2008, MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD JUST SHUTS OFF, AFTER A FEW MINUTES RESTARTS. THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF STARTS TO GET MORE FREQUENT, SO I TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO REPLACES THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FIXED FOR NOW. APPARENTLY HONDA DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST RECALL. *TR

MY 99 HONDA ACCORD EX SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, THIS STARTED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO. THE CAR PROVIDES ZERO NOTICE. I RECENTLY ATTENDED A AUTO PARTS SHOP FOR TESTING AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. I WAS DIRECTED TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. I RESEARCHED THE MATTER ONLINE AND DETERMINED MY CAR WAS ON RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BRIEFLY REMEMBER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTIFICATION BY MAIL SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT DID NOTHING. I CALLED BREAKAWAY HONDA IN GREENVILLE SC AND WAS DENIED RECALL BASED ON MY VIN. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND ALSO INFORMED HIM HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 12/29/10 *BF UPDATED 01/03/11

MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX BLEW OUT AN ENGINE VALVE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 60 MPH. HONDA SERVICE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE. AT THE TIME THE CAR HAD ONLY 110K MILES. APPARENTLY, IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE DESIGN. *TR

1999 HONDA ACCORD ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. IGNITION PART WAS RECALLED BY HONDA IN 2003 AND WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. PROBLEM STARTED FEW MONTHS BACK AND IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. HONDA REGIONAL OFFICE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

WE HAVE A BLACK 1999 HONDA ACCORD THAT HAS A SEVERE PAINT/CLEAR COAT ISSUE. WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE OF THIS VEHICLE, KEEPING IT GARAGED AND WASHED AND WAXED ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD US THAT "IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE OWNERS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CAR". THEY ALSO TOLD US THAT BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR, PAINT ISSUES 'HAPPEN' AND THEY DON'T OFFER SERVICE ON THAT OLD OF A CAR. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. WE JUST HAD IT IN TO FIX THE IGNITION THAT WAS UNDER A RECALL, AND THEY TELL US THAT THEY DON'T OFFER SERVICE ON THAT OLD OF A CAR? MY WIFE AND I ARE EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AT HOW WE HAVE BEEN TREATED OVER THIS. THE CAR HAS A DEFECT IN THE CLEAR COAT FINISH THAT WAS BACKED UP BY OUR LOCAL SERVICE TECH WHO SAID IT WASN'T SPRAYED ON THICK ENOUGH, THUS THE PROBLEM. *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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE LOSES COMPLETE POWER PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. OCCASIONALLY, IT TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES OR OVER AN HOUR FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA CENTER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

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

MAIN RELAY PROBLEMS I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 99 HONDA ACCORD LE COUPE - 6 CYLINDER AUTOMATIC. ONCE I GOT THE CAR HOME I FOUND THAT THE CAR HAD A STARTING PROBLEM. EARLY MORNING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS COOL THE CAR WOULD START FINE. AFTER SITTING IN THE SUN ALL DAY WHILE AT WORK THE CAR WOULD FAIL TO START. OPENING THE DOORS AND LETTING THE INTERIOR HEAT DROP WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. WITH NO SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER OTHER THAN LOOKING AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR HONDA HARD STARTING PROBLEM... I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT GAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING AND DIRECTED TO HOW TO REPAIR THE MAIN RELAY. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AS THEY EXPLAINED AND RE-SOLDERED 5 CONNECTIONS ON THE PRINTED CIRCUIT OF THE MAIN RELAY... SINCE THAT TIME THE HONDA WILL START IN ANY TYPE OF WEATHER. JUST SEEMS ODD AFTER SEARCHING THE FORUMS AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I WAS HAVING AND NOBODY HAS SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS... SOME SEARCHING TURNED UP A PROBLEM RESOLVE... NOW YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM AND HONDA SERVICE CENTERS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE MINE.... DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE THE ACCORD AND CAN LIVE WITH SOME OF THE PROBLEMS BUT AS A CUSTOMER I EXPECT THAT HONDA WOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND BY THE DESCRIPTION THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT THEY THINK IT IS AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE....I'M NOT CHASING A RECALL... I SIMPLY WANT MY CAR TO START WHEN I TURN THE KEY... *TR

IGNITIONS SWITCH WAS REPLACED DUE TO CAR RANDOMLY STALLING ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISIONS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO SAFELY REMOVE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMED ME THAT THE IGNITIONS SWITCH HAD BEEN RECALLED HOWEVER THE IGNITIONS SWITCH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE SEVERAL YEARS AGO UNDER THIS RECALL AND ANY REPAIR WOULD BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. REPAIR INVOICE IS AVAILABLE AS CAN VERIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM BY THE REPAIR SHOP WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS REPEATED PROBLEM ILLUSTRATES FAILURE ON HONDA TO RESOLVE THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH PRESENTS AN IMMEDIATE TREAT TO LIFE OF ALL OWNERS OF THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AFFECTED BY THE ORIGINAL RECALL AND ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATED BY THE NHTSA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT IN HIS VEHICLE BECAME SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SEAT DETACHED FROM THE BRACKET. HE WAS INFORMED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A SIMILAR PRODUCT UPDATE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 112,472. UPDATED 10/07/08. *LJ THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY. UPDATED 10/08/08. *JB

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

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE THEN RESTARTED BY ITSELF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE A WEEK AND HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 149,000.

BELOW ARE BITS OF A LETTER I SENT IN AS PART OF A SURVEY TO THE HONDA DEALER: THE HONDA (H) DEALER IN FTWALTONBEACH, FL REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RECALL PART. I HAVE EMAILS AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE IT REPLACED; ONCE I DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL PART, HONDA STILL WOULDN'T AGREE TO FIX IT. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THEY COULDN'T FIX MY CAR PROBLEM, SO I BOUGHT A HAYNES MANUAL, SEARCHED THE WEB AND ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE IT MYSELF. THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. I CONTACTED THEM ABOUT MY DISCOVERY, AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC (WHICH WAS INDICATED TO ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR) TO DETERMINE IF THE PART TRULY NEEDED REPLACING. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PART. THEY STATED THE PART HAD BEEN REPLACED ONLY 1/2 WAY THROUGH MY STRUGGLE TO GET THEM TO REPLACE IT. I WAS TOLD BY H CORP. THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. HONDA.COM INDICATED THAT IT NEEDED REPLACING, AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY MID-WAYS THROUGH MY BATTLE WITH GSH IT SHOWS UP IN THE COMPUTER AS HAVING BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE BEFORE THE RECALL. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. I DO WONDER HOW MANY OTHER WOMEN AND UNSUSPECTING MEN THEY HAVE GOUGED IN THE POCKET TO RANDOMLY REPLACE GOOD PARTS ($1000 - $2000 FOR ME). MY CAR FINALLY BROKE DOWN (WOULDN'T CRANK); I WAS W/OUT A VEHICLE FOR 1 WEEK; ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAD IT TOWED TO HER CAR DEALER. HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH INDICATED THE RECALL PART NEEDED REPLACING, DAH. HE REPLACED THE RECALL PART. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 2 MTHS NOW & NO CAR PROBLEMS AT ALL; WHERE BEFORE IT HAD GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS SHUTTING OFF ON ME AT LEAST ONCE ABOUT EVERY 30 M. I HAVE EMAILS WITH GSH, NOTES FROM PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH GSH AND KAI, NOTES FROM VISITS TO GSH W/ THE SERV. DEPT. MANAGER AND THE GSH MANAGER, RECEIPTS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF IN WARRANTY PARTS & RANDOMLY REPLACED NEW PARTS, A COPY OF THE FAX I SENT KAI AND A CONFIRM. INDICATING IT WENT THROUGH, IN ADDITION TO HAVING PRINTOUTS OF MY SEARCHES ON THE WEB. *TR

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

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. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 110,000. UPDATED 07/29/08 *BF UPDATED 07/29/08

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE IGNITION INTERLOCK WAS REPLACED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V120000. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CRASH DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 134,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

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

GOT A CAR TUNE-UP DONE BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE GEARS SHIFTED A LTTLE DIFFERENT BUT I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE TUNE-UP. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORST SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. AFTER THEIR ANALYSIS, THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A "BAD DIFFERENTIAL" AND IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ONLY HAD 78,000 WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALER FOR THE TUNE-UP THE END OF MAY. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER???

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

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

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE, SECOND OCCURRENCE. CAR STALLS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND REPAIRED THE INTERLOCK. THE SWITCH FAILED AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS NOT A FIX ONLY A DELAY OF THE NEXT FAILURE SINCE THE SAME COMPONENT FAILED. I USED DETAILED REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE INTERNET TO MAKE THE SECOND REPAIR MYSELF. I REQUESTED "GOODWILL" FROM AMERICAN HONDA WHICH WAS DENIED SO I AM OUT OF POCKET FOR PARTS AND MY TIME TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE SINCE THE REPLACEMENT PART ALSO FAILS AT THE SAME RATE AS THE ORIGINAL COMPONENT. WHEN THIS FINALLY CAUSES AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH I'M SURE THEY WILL SETTLE OUT OF COURT TO PREVENT FURTHER LOSS ON THIS COMPONENT WHEN ALL THEY REALLY HAD TO DO WAS ENGINEER A NON-DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT. IN OTHER WORDS FIX IT ONCE BUT FIX IT RIGHT. HONDA DID NOT DO THIS AND WILL NOT WARRANT THE SECOND DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. THEY BETTER HOPE I AM NOT INJURED WHEN THIS FAILS FOR THE THIRD BECAUSE I HAVE MY DOCUMENTATION. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CODE INDICATED A TORQUE CONVERTER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. DEALER SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED AND ROAD TESTED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY RESET THE WARNING LIGHT AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION MAYBE GOING BAD. I WAS CHARGED THEIR TYPICAL OUTRAGEOUS LABOR COST. I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHO COULD HAVE TOLD ME THE SAME THING FOR FREE. BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS THAN AN AUTO PARTS CODE READER, I WAS TOTALLY WRONG. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON DURING MY DRIVE BACK HOME FROM THE DEALER. ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY THE DEALER SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT IT NEW. THE CAR HAD AROUND 98,000 MILES WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT FIRST APPEARED. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP NEXT AND THEY REPLACED THE LINEAR SOLENOID AND CHECKED THE OTHERS WHICH WERE ALL FINE, BUT THE WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE TRANS. SHOP SAID THIS IS A PREDOMINANT PROBLEM WITH 99 AND 2000 ACCORDS, BUT THE MFR ONLY RECALLED THE 2000 MODELS. I KNOW THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE I ALSO OWN A 2000 ACCORD WHICH WAS RECALLED BY THE FACTORY FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS MODEL YEAR ALSO SINCE THE 99 AND 2000 MODELS WERE ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL. NOW THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO OVERHAUL OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST LOTS MORE MONEY. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THE 99 ACCORDS AS WELL OR AT LEAST SHOULDER HALF OF ALL THE EXPENSES BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE OWN SEVERAL VEHICLES OTHER THAN HONDAS AND I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND ALL HAVE GONE OVER 150,000 MILES. GOOD BYE HONDA! ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL SURELY KNOW ABOUT THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH COULD DEGRADE DUE TO A HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH IT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED RECALL 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH). A CERTIFIED MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 175,000.

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY STALL WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED AT 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART AFTER 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS AND WOULD RUN NORMALLY. THE FAILURE WOULD NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, BUT EVERY 4 OR 5 TIMES THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. 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. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 09/15/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. UPDATED 09/17/08. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH 71,000 MILES ON IT. 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

1999 HONDA ACCORD V-6 EGR EMISSION DEFECT, EGR PORTS CLOGGED WITH CARBON DEPOSITS, REFERENCE NHTSA #627312, TSB 99085, HONDA IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PULLING INTO A 7/11 PARKING LOT. CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT AND FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. INSURANCE DECLARED TOTAL LOSS. *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 PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER. I GUESS THIS IS NOT JUST "DRIVER ERROR" THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK, NOW IS IT. *TR

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE STALLED AT HIGH AND LOW RATES OF SPEED. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE PREVIOUSLY DUE TO A RECALL, THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT AGAIN FREE OF CHARGE. THE COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS $270.00. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 126000.

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
