  • 77,000 miles
1999 Honda Accord 4dr at with 77K miles. Without warning, car stalled when decelerating on freeway off ramp. "maint req" light came on. Power door locks clicked up and down. Able to safely come to a stop. Car restarted right away. A few days later, when leaving my workplace parking lot, the car stalled again after about 1 block, fortunately I was only driving about 20 mph. Same symptoms -- maint req light came on and the power door locks clicked up and down. Restarted car right away. Local mechanic could not replicate issue, but suggested replacing ignition switch due to symptoms described. I had him perform the replacement, even through ignition switch was replaced under recall in Sept 2005 when car had about 35K miles.

Accord

  • 136,999 miles
On Monday, February 22, 2010, I was driving on the highway when the battery, ABS and door lights suddenly displayed on the dashboard. The care was driving fine after this but about a mile later, the engine shut off. I noticed the drive belts had come off. Roadside assistance was contacted to tow the car to the nearest location within 15miles. Hence, the car was towed to my destination, then eventually towed to richfield-bloomington Honda where they determined that the crankshaft key was installed incorrectly causing the pulley to be wobbly forcing the belts to come off while driving. Brookdale Honda performed the maintenance repair that has been linked to this incident since the crank shaft bolt was not tightened to the right torque. They are refusing to take responsibility for damage as a result of technician error.

The spark plugs, ignition switch, distributor and pvc valve have been replaced.

  • 109,000 miles
The contact owns a 1999 Honda Accord. While pulling into the driveway and before the contact could turn off the vehicle, it shut itself off. Later, while attempting to make a right turn, the vehicle shut off completely. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the service dealer and they stated that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The contact stated that he received a recall notice in 2002 for the electrical ignition switch, which could degrade and cause the vehicle to hesitate and/or crash without warning. The manufacturer stated that because the recall repairs were performed once, they would not take responsibility for the repairs a second time. The VIN and NHTSA campaign id number were unknown. The failure and current mileages were less than 109,000.

Defective egr valve on my 1999 Honda Accord. The car was brand new when I purchased it and it only has 96K miles. I am the only owner. It burns oil and no one can determine why. I just replaced 2 valves due to the oil and now my egr valve is needing to be replaced. After reviewing the complaints, there are numerous complaints on the egr valve for a 1999 Honda Accord. It should be recalled based on the number of complaints I have seen.

Parked in parking lot. Looked under hood saw belt loose. Had car towed to independent Honda shop.

Car inspected at Honda dealership on 6-17-03.. mechanic states he called calsbad, ca dealership and they hav eseen at least one car per month with same problem.
