We have classified the 8 complaints from 1999 Honda Accord about STRUCTURE into the following categories.
Paint faded on hood, top of roof and trunk. *tr
The subframe, brake lines, fuel lines, and suspension, on the front passenger side, have all rusted out to the point of failure due to a poorly designed a/c drain hose. the dealer should have noticed this was a problem during any of the later service visits. honda should take action on this dangerous situation. *tr
The car's clear coat is peeling and has been since about 2005 when i brought it to their attention and also explained there are many other of the same cars having the same problem i was told it was parking under a tree, or bird poop, or sun damage but i have a friend you does all or the above with their car and there is no problems and i do not have any of those problems (yes a few bird poops but not extreme, as with sun). i explained that i went to a professional paint place and they explained that it was either the way it applied or the batch(lot) was a bad batch and you can typically isolate it to a area or manufacture - no i have not had my car repainted i feel as a certified honda vehicle they should repaint it on there dime. yes i have had the car for 11 years but still i should have been entitled to not having the embarrassment when i took guess out and with my neighbors thinking i don't take care of my car as with fellow employees. shame firms can't stand behind "oh there award winning" product. i also had several issues with the transmission the second year and it took 3 years to get that resolves, then there was a recall with a ignition parts that they fixed after the car rolled into the road twice, and if you want to change the odometer light you have to pay to have the dash removed - sad. *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 have the same problem, you see the same car with same color (green) on the road. if i 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.

When shutting engine off and pulling key out of ignition, automatic door lock would engage and lock doors as soon as consumer pulled on door handle to exit vehicle. consumer would then have to put key back in ignition, unlock doors, and then exit vehicle. dealer replaced multi plug system on 8 june 2001. currently, when consumer pulls key out of ignition and pulls on door handle, doors lock again. consumer has to insert key in ignition, shift from park to neutral, then engage the unlock door button to exit vehicle. consumer has not contacted dealer about this new problem yet. *ak
