On December 4, 2017 I was traveling the posted speed limit on interstate 195 maryland when my tire broke away from the axle. I lost control of the car and skid across the highway and slammbed into a guard rail. I had just repaired/replaced both lower control arm bushings on that same wheel not two weeks prior to the accident with alignment and new brakes all around. I was fortunate that I did not hit anyone and no one hit me or the result would have been much worse. The car was totaled.

Last Monday morning, I drove on a 2-lane neighborhood road at 25mph since it was raining. My car suddenly lost control. I touched the brakes. However, the brakes did not work anymore. The windshield started fog immediately. I could not see anything while my car still moved forwarded. I forced the speed shaft into the park position. My car stopped on the opposite lane. Luckily, there was no vehicle from the opposite direction. I was safe. The accident location is one mile away from interstate. If this happed on the interstate, tragedy would be inevitable. After my car was towed to the body shop, I found that the right-front lower control arm was fractured at the bushing location. The fracture section was not new at all. It is a typical stress corrosion fracture over years. It should start at the original defect. I called Honda Accord manufacturing USA last Friday. They denied discussing how this part was failed offered no assistance.

Told by dealer that front control arm bushings were torn and needed to be replaced at $550. 00. Researching on internet has revealed that there is a widespread problem with "compliance bushings" on these cars. Contacted Honda case #n012015-03-1701570. They said there is no recall. I believe they are ignoring a problem that could affect steering and they should be forced to repair this defect.

We have been told by a certified mechanic that the front subframe or cradle on our 1999 Honda Accord is rusted beyond repair and due to the rust, any parts that attach to the subframe, such as the upper control arms and struts, cannot be safely replaced due to the condition of the subframe. The mechanic estimated that the subframe will become a safety issue within the next 6 months and suggested it be replaced. In a search on the internet, I found several other owners of 1999 Accords experiencing the same issue.

Just bought my Accord in September 2013 with 105k miles on it. When I test drove the vehicle I noticed that the brakes were sticky. When I came to a complete stop then when I accelerated it took a second or two for the brakes to release then accelerate again. They told me that they had just replaced the brakes and that's the reason why that it was doing that. So within a month later I brought it in cause the problem never went away. They fixed the problem and just put brake fluid and bleed the brakes. The car ran a little better and the brakes weren't sticking as much. Two months later I had to replace the brake pads. Brakes were still sticky. 3 months later I had to replace them again. Then I noticed that when I would due over 60 mph that when I would press the brakes that the car would shake and pull to the left. I then got a aliment and still the car would shake when I would accelerate and brake. I then replaced all four rotors. Problem stopped. Two months later the cars left lower control arm was giving out. Had to replace both right and left side. One month later I hear the brakes making a loud grinding noise. I had to replace the pads again. I find that every 2 to 3 months I have to replace my brakes. All this money being spent is not fair. Honda needs to recall these brake systems. My airbag light and engine light keeps coming on and off. Also my stereo light goes off and on . Help me please.

Right passenger side subframe crossmember has suffered sever corrosion due to poor a/c drain valve location. Damage is extensive into the lower control arm housing, and car has been deemed as unsafe to drive.

Vehicle handling became unstable. Vehicle as taken to ourisman Honda (bethedsa, MD) for service. Diagnosis was worn ball joints. Replaced at cost of $500. Issue is not cost, but safety. It was possible that the ball joint(s) could have failed catastrophically on the highway at high speed, resulting in injury or death. This vehicle was never driven roughly. The maintenance schedule was followed faithfully. I believe that the manuafacturer should be notified.

We had our battery replaced by a national auto chain. When complete, the "srs" warning light activated. Pursuant to the owners manual, we took it to the local Honda dealer - casey, newport news,va. They informed us it required a new control unit, the cost $565. 00. We took it to another Honda dealer - williamson, hampton,va. They also informed us it required a new control unit for $583. 00 somewhere along the line it was said it was due to "low voltage". Am I to understand that each time a Honda requires a battery, it will cost $583. 00 + the cost of the battery. I can't believe I'm the first to complain about this.

While making a u turn ball joint separated from vehicle. It just happened like mentioned in recall 99v069000, ball joint can prematurely wear out and separate.

Vehicle was manufactured 5/97. Nhtsa campaign id 99v069000 recalled similar model for defective ball joints, for units manufactured from 7/97 to 8/97. I believe my model, manufactured 5/97, has same problem. Car makes "groaning" noise when wheel is turned at startup, and around curves. Fear unsafe condition could lead to accident. Please immediately extend recall #99v069000 to cover Honda Accord 1997 models manufactured in months prior to July 1997!!! I asked dealer to check ball joints during routine maintenance, was told that my model was not affected by recall.
