general problems of the 1999 Honda Accord

My car was towed while I wss in jail and I cant find it.

Car repeatedly shuts off when driving. I was driving in the highway and my Honda lights started flickering and the speedometer hands started flickering. My car then shut off and my wheel locked. I tried to restart and it would not turn back on. It sounded like my car was dragging something but I checked underneath and didn't see anything. After gassing the car while starting, it finally started back up but you could tell it was barely being powered. It sounded like it was trying hard to power but it was only doing it so much. Now I'm sitting still on side the highway and it also runs hot so I filled the antifreeze and now I'm letting t run, hoping that the antifreeze is the cause of these problems. My car sounds awful!!!!! it doesn't even have 150k miles!!!! for it to be a 1999!!!!!!.

Clear coat is coming off trunk area and on the hood area should not be happening since the vehicle is garaged 65% of the time.

In mid to late April 2017 I began hearing a crunching/popping noise coming from the front passenger side of my 1999 Accord. I took it to a mechanic and was informed that the sub-frame on the passenger side had rusted through and broke. I had never in my life heard of anything like this happening to a car. I understand living in the northern part of the united states there is a heavy amount of salt put on the roads in the winter and cars rust, especially when they are older. But actually breaking! I was told the total repair would cost 2,000 dollars! I cannot afford a new car as I just got out of college. Thus, I had to pay for it out of pocket. I find this absolutely unacceptable. I have driven several cars over last 17 years and never have I ever been told the steel sub-frame of your car has rusted through and if you don't fix this you could injure not only yourself but others, not to mention you're car could be destroyed. I discovered after some online research that this is a wide spread problem with 1998-2002 Honda's in which the a/c drain hose drips on the sub-frame causing it rust and weaken prematurely. I also realize that Honda has yet to acknowledge this design flaw, which is concerning because there are still tens of thousands of these cars out there on the roads right now. I have been a Honda driver since 2009 and have stood by them, but this is reprehensible and I truly hope there will be some kind of class action or settlement brought about because this hit me hard financially and soured the reputation on what has otherwise been a wonderful, well maintained car I expect to get a few more years out of.

Took my 99 Accord to the dealer for an exhaust-they said the engine subframe has a hole and is rusted where the a/c hose drains on it - this is a defect which affects the safe operation of the car and should be replaced by Honda.

The automatic transmission is slipping a problem with Honda, and the car was getting a state inspection and found out the sub frame was rusted on the passenger side . Will not pass a pennsylvania state inspection this is a problem with 1999 to 2002 Accords call Honda they will not help ( 168000 miles on car ).

My 1999 Honda Accord 4cyl now has a broken subframe assembly. The subframe has so much corrosion that bushing, etc. Has disintegrated. However, this has only occurred on the right corner just behind the front passenger tire. This is also the location of the a/c drain hose. Apparently the hose drains right onto the subframe and has caused this issue. I have read online that thousands of Accords are affected but nothing has been done by the manufacturer to recall this engineering issue. With the subframe broken, I cannot drive my vehicle and I cannot afford to fix it either (since a new one is $700 + labor).

1999 Honda Accord ex v6 didnt pass inspection due to rusted subframe. There should have been a recall for this problem since its a design flaw. Water from air conditoner drips onto subframe. Since the value of the car is the same as the cost of repair, I have to get rid of the car since I cant see spending that kind of money on a.

My car has been making clunking noise from the bottom for about 2-3 weeks and has been getting worse. I took it to a mechanic, he showed me the cradle/subframe on the passenger side rusted heavily and almost breaking off. In researching on the internet I see this is a common problem with 1999-2002 Accords, due to water leaking from ac condensation. This has been reported as a serious mechanical/frame issue with possibility of becoming catastrophic. My mechanic is looking to order the subframe from an Honda dealer but I think this is a serious design problem. These vehicles should be recalled and fixed by Honda.

My 16 year old daughter was coming home from school in the rain and was unable to stop in time to keep from rear ending another vehicle. Our car sustained extreme front end damage. Fortunately there were no injuries but the air bags did not deploy. The entire front end is crumpled and still the air bags did not deploy. I thought my daughter was driving a safe car.

Driving at 65 mph, sudden downshift, causing speed to go from 65 to much much less.

While driving the vehicle, the engine will quit completely without any warning or indication of malfunction; it just stops. Sometimes it will start up again immediately, sometimes multiple attempts where it catches for a fraction of a second and stops again have been required over a period of several minutes. Over time, it seemed to become clear that turning the key to the off position instead of attempting a start from acc would almost always result in immediate restart. The issue disappeared over what was a fairly cold winter, but has returned with the warming weather. Total number of occurrences: somewhere around fifty or higher. Sometimes it would happen numerous times the same day, increasingly with increased temperature, and seemed much more prone to occur when the air-conditioning was in use. The repair shop was never able to capture an obd code with its recording device. As a commuter on rural roads, this has been inconvenient but so far not unsafe, but there is a potential for it occurring under adverse traffic conditions that might be unsafe, e. G. , at highway speed with close following traffic on a road with no shoulder. These incidents may or may not be related to two repairs that almost immediately preceded the first occurrence of this problem: 1. The car wouldn't start one day, no electrical output at all was available, though the battery was only a few months old. A local (I. E. , non-dealer) repair shop replace the negative battery cable that grounds the battery to the vehicle. 2. Timing belt replacement was performed a couple of months prior, again by a local repair shop.

This is just to enter a complaint with nhsa about a subframe issue on this make/model/year car. I understand there have been other complaints on this but not enough at this time to involve a recall. We were not in an accident but brought the car in because of noise. We did have to have our subframe replaced in may because it was rusted out and potentially dangerous. It cost $2410. 10 (actually part of this cost was for a ball joint repair as well - perhaps a couple of hundred of the total was for that). The cost was for a used subframe. A new one would have been extremely expensive. Perhaps enough complaints will bring some action on the subframe issue.

Got in vehicle and had no brakes. No warning. Jst no brakes. This was due to rust eating a hole in the brake line. The fuel lines are the same way. In fact, the entire undercarriage is rust.

Upon inspection of the vehicle by a certified mechanic, the sub-frame : rear beam - cross beam ( part number 50200-s84-a00 ) was found rusted and unsafe. It is located on the passenger side, near the rear of the front tire. The sub-frame component is rusted through on the top side,with holes, leaving only the lower portion of it holding the engine and suspension in place. It was determined a safety issue and failed inspection. Looks like a design flaw that collected water. Expensive part and repair. Honda is not covering it. The rest of the undercarriage and frame was in good condition. I took the vehicle to a local dealers service department, and they said that this is a definite safety issue, and the sub-frame component needs to be replaced.

The ignition key can be removed while the car is in drive. This has always been the case when the engine is turned off since I purchase the car 2 1/2 years ago. Several times I or another family member have returned to the car to find it in drive, but on level ground, so it did not roll more than a few inches at most. However, the potential to roll further and cause a crash is definitely there if one fails to use the parking brake. Honda (national level) claims this recalled issue was repaired 10 years ago and will not do a diagnostic without guarantee of payment by me. Their defense is that it could be some other problem and they are no longer responsible for the safety issue once a repair has been made. I am alerting you to this potential "other problem" as a safety concern. Either the parts used to replace the recalled parts are also defective and could potentially cause a crash, or a different problem is causing the same safety issue that has the potential of causing a crash.

A well maintained and cared for auto. Its paint came off, or is damaged. Damage appears as three each six inch wide stripes running the length of car. Side panels of car not effected and paint in good condition .
