We have classified the 2 complaints from 1999 Honda Accord about EQUIPMENT into the following categories.
I was driving down a freeway w/ my 6 yr grand daughter in backseat, when all of a sudden ( no warning ) my car died. we almost were rear ended. when it died, the lights on the dash flickered on and off about 4 xs. mech state ig switch burn out cuz 2 much amp goin thr system. honda refused to do anything even thou ig switch was on recall but not my vin number. several attempts/calls were made to honda-said no. the ignition switch that was taken out, well it is quite obvious there is too much of something going thru causing the melting of all the stuff i can see. i have the old switch. i had the mech give it to me. when he told me it was switch i asked if there was a recall so he checked and yes so i called honda. the woman i spoke to was very mean/snotty saying my vin was not on the list. so, i had to go ahead and pay out of my pocket at the dealership my insurance comp towed to for fixing. if honda was going to fix it, i would have had it taken on to a honda dealer. the poor ways i was treated on the phone, i don't think much of honda anymore.mech said honda has not made a switch yet that will handle the amperage that is going to it so this one will only last 4-5 years give or take. we could have been killed when the car died. *tr
Engine shuts down itself when running on the highway or on the street roads. *tr
I had the ignition switch replaced in 2002 under the recall warranty. now 7years later(2009)120,000miles, i am having the symptoms of a bad ignition switch. while driving the engine just quits. it will start after several attempts. it will run fine for about 3-4 weeks and quit again. i talked with a honda repair man and he said the warranty replacement switches in 2002 are starting to fail now. *tr
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
Bought this 99 honda accord dx 4 door 5 speed back in 2006 from a honda dealership. in the end of 2007 the car shut off on the high way while i was driving!!! thank god i didn't get into an accident! it then happened again a month later! it then happened quite frequently till i could no longer let the key go without it shutting off! when the car shuts off everything stops, including power steering!!! very dangerous!!! we looked over the car and looked online and found my car had a recall on it. we called honda's 1800 number and they told us the car had already been recalled and fixed in 2002 so they didn't have to do anything for us!!! so why then a couple of years later would the same problem be happening!? i am scared that if i go and have it fixed it will just shut off on me again in four years, or less!? did they just replace the faulty part with another faulty part?! i have read some of the forums on line and they seem to indicate that it could be the wiring to the ignition switch and not the whole part. we have rigged the car by hanging objects off of the keys to get it to stay on... i know it's only a matter of time before it stops altogether! honda refuses to take responsibility for they're products. they should not be aloud to continue this! how can we allow them to put unsafe vehicles on the road putting peoples life's in danger!? *tr
Car stalled when at complete stop to make a turn on5-24-07, started back up immediately and drove fine. car stalled while making a turn into a pharmacy parking lot on 5-25-07, started right back up and drove ok after that. i was thirty miles from home to go to the doctor so i started home on i-44 in a rain storm. i was driving 65 mph in the inside lane when the car stalled. thought i was going to die. this on a friday afternoon on a holiday weekend. was fortunate enough to be able to guide the car over the outside lane of traffic and get it off the road. started right back up. i did turn off the ac and prayed all the rest of the 20 miles or so that i had to go to get home, which i did. called a local repair shop that i have used before and being a holiday weekend, could not get it in before tuesday, 5-29-07. found to be ignition switch. was told to call honda dealership in springfield, mo and was told was fixed after recall. in looking at the paper work i had from previous owner, it had been done at 67375 miles and again had problems and was done at 83050 miles again. they would not help me at all at the dealership so i had no choice but to pay for it myself. the car now has 103596 miles on it. so that tells me that these ignition switches are good for 20,000 or less and my life was in jeopardy because of this faulty switch. now how long can i drive and be safe before this happens again???? the very least that honda could do is pay for this but more important fix the switch so that people do not think they are going to die like i almost did. i am 69 years old and this is a strain mentally and financially. *tr
I have had a transmission failure in my honda accord. when i took it to a mechanic in parkville, missouri, he checked the transmission fluid and found it black. he flushed the transmission, put new fluid in, and changed a filter behind the glove compartment. he told me that honda from 98 to 2002 had transmission problems. he told me to drive the car for a few days and see if that didn't fix it. i could tell as i drove home that it was not fixed. the mechanic said that a new transmission would cost 1,600 to 1,800 dollars. since i have had to get a new engine in my accord or my lemon, three new batteries, and now a new transmission and it is not already paid for because i leased it and am in the process of buying it, i need all the help i can get. *nm

Dt: the bolt backed out of the pulley in the engine, resulting in ruined pulley/ bent the crank shaft/loss of power steering/ defective alternator, and air conditioning (a/c) failure. dealership was surpride. consumer, had to pay out of pocket for the new pulley.*ak

My crank shaft pulley bolt broke off damaging my whole engine. honda estimates it will be approx. 5900.00 to fix. this is ridiculous since my car is practically new (1999) and i get all my servicing at the dealership!
While driving down the freeway going about 40mph the accelorator stuck and continued to accel at uncontrolable speeds. the brake would not stop the car and i had to put it in neutral and slam on the gas pedal to release it. i have since taken the car to mel rapton honda and spoke to the service manager who claims that he has never heard of this happening. it has not done it since. i had a mechanic check the accelerator cables as well as the cruise control cables and there were no apparent problems.
Recall on ignition switch/steering column case steering column had groove marks from steering wheel ignition switched replaced / steering column case replaced since then the horn doesn't blow all the time when blown. i also reported this to the state police here in baton rouge, la. *jb
