problem #33

Accord 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 62,575 miles
When temperature reaches under 32F, first thing in the morning, the car was warmed up, and after driving 1/2 mile, the car shut-down and won't restart. Problem was found to be the fuel pump, according to the mechanic, he has known of at least 20 Accord from the same model 98-02, with similar problems, and it all was traced to the same manufacturer who made the fuel pumps.

The car jerked and stalled in oncoming traffic. Cars were able to miss me at that time. This occured and I took it immediately to dealership where replacements of output shaft seal X 2 was done. It has continued to pull and stall and still having problems. The trasmission has been serviced and have never had probems. Feel that a 99 Honda should not have transmission failures at this time.

Car died when pulling from stop, had previously died when going 20 mph. First time dealer said no way to check. This time another dealer checking and said idle was low. Car not part of iginition recall but very same symptons. When car ws less than 1 yr old, took to dealer for somewhat similar problem and was told that keychain may have interferred with ignition. Made detailed report of problem at the dealer. Had 1990 Honda civic die on freeway, had 49,000 mile on car. Was a switch and under warranty.very concerned that I will be in an accident. This problem seems far too common with Honda. Will think twice about ever buying one again. Had 1980 Honda that stalled at red lights but car so old -about 140,000 mile that I just traded it in.

My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 Accord. When I need to accelerate the car "misfires" according to the gresham Honda dealership. This is where the car is being serviced. Contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503-676-7070. I am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because I never know when my car will misfire. At times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms. Basically, there is no acceleration. The check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates. The first two times that the car was taken to the Honda dealership the check light did come on. My car is currently on it's 5th stay with Honda. They(Honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was. Hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly. I'd hate to be the cause of an accident. Equally as important, I have had a failure with my ABS. While there was no accident, I barely stopped at the intersection while brakes locked up on pavement. I have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above. In fact, the Honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my Accord. I may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number. Thank you for your time, amber weimerskirch. (tiresize: W-10)

For no apparent reason my car stops while driving. This engine shuts down forcing me to make an emergency stop whether I am driving on the freeway or surface streets. This has happened repeatedly and regardless of the speed at which I am driving. I have taken my car to the auto repari shop each time it has occurred over the last 2 weeks, for a total of 7 times. Each time the car is probed and diagnostic testing is conducted but still the problem cannot be identified. I have been told by the mechanics that the computer in my car fails to provide a code which could then be used to trace the source of the problem. Yesterday, Dec. 18th, the mechanics had a group discussion about

A banging noise from the engine and a vibration are experienced every time when I start the engine. This is a design defect, since the dealer let me test drove several new Honda cars in stock and every 1999 and 2000 year new Honda Accord LX has this problem. This is dangerous because noise and vibration loose screws and connections for the long run. Some of thousands of screws and connections in a car may drop out some day and cause accident.
