Nine problems related to starter have been reported for the 1999 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On March 3, 2015 my wife's 1999 Accord would not start. We had the starter replaced for about $550. 00 but the car was still near impossible to start and the engine can cut out at any time once you do have it started. The auto repairman told us the keys made poor contact inside the ignition switch and that was why it was still so hard to start. He taught us a tedious process to start the car but since then when we drive it the engine can suddenly stop running and stopp, also disabling the power steering. The car is no longer safe to drive. It stopped running 4 times on a 10 mile trip today.
: the contact stated at various speeds or while stopped, the vehicle stalled without warning on numerous occasions. The vehicle restarted each time, and was taken to the dealership where the starter was replaced. The dealer replaced the ignition switch. Updated 12/05/06.
The starter blew apart after starting on 3/10/03. The bendix was in two pieces and lodged itself between the flywheel and motor. One piece was able to be removed, the second cannot be removed unless the transmission is removed. The dealer indicated this was a new occurrence and never before happened to their knowledge. The consumer service at Honda did not seem too concerned that this had occurred and seemed unwilling to research this even though they also indicated that this was the first time.
The consumer had the ignition switch recall serviced by the dealer, but was charged for disconnecting and reconnecting wires to remote starter while doing the repair.
Consumer states that the dealer is charging her to reconnect the remote starter. Consumer felt that Honda should pay for the cost associated with the recall. Recall#02v120000 ignition switch. Herb chambers Honda brighton, MA 617-731-0100. *mrjlg.
Consumer states after leaving her driveway and approaching the first stop sign the auto died, then all the panel lights came on. She was able to restart the auto. Then after driving it for another 3-4 mins and stopped at a stop light the auto cut off again. Now she has a recall for the ignition and she is told by her dealer that they do not have the part, and will not have it for another couple weeks.
I have a 1999 Honda Accord ex four cylinder stick shift sedan. Three or four times a year, ever since I got the car the engine has suddenly stopped for no apparent reason while driving. It usually happens when I push the clutch pedal in, as when down-shifting for a turn. I took it back to the dealer, but they could not fix it, and told me they had no idea what was causing it. My regular mechanic was also unable to diagnose the cause when I asked him to, a year or so after I got the car. The car continues to malfunction in this way, and I am simply alert to it. It always starts right back up when I either pop the clutch or use the starter. Judging from the recall information on this website, the cause is a defective ignition switch, but I never received a recall notice.
While driving vehicle lurched forward, and stalled three times. Engine check warning indicator light illuminated. Vehicle was taken to the dealer three times. Starter was replaced, and the dealer performed a valve job. Also, dealer recommended replacing the automatic transmission with a rebuilt transmission.
Problems getting starter recall repairs complete. The starter was recall. The vehicle was taken tot he dealer for replacement. When the consumer returned to pick up the vehicle the dealer indicated that the work was not done because something came up. After the consumer left the dealer they called and said they could not do the recall because the consumer installed a non-Honda alarm on the vehicle. The consumer agreed to be responsible if anything went wrong and gave them permission to do the work but they said no.
