1999 Honda Accord engine and engine cooling problems

“THE A/C COMPRESSOR DRIPS DIRECTLY ON THE SUBFRAME, WHICH RUSTED IT COMPLETELY APART. WHICH IN TURN, DESTROYED THE SUSPENSION. MY CAR IS NOW WAITING TO BE TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE, TOTALLY NOT DRIVABLE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET. NORMAL TURN AROUND A CORNER. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED, I WOULD BE FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR EXTREMELY POOR ENGINEERING AND LACK OF THINKING THIS HORRIBLE DESIGN FLAW THROUGH COMPLETELY. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP AT [XXX]. *TR”

“WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR THE AC WAS NOT WORKING SO I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT CONNECTED AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA'S HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRAMES ROTTING OUT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE AC DRAIN. UPON HAVING THE FRAME INSPECTED WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS ANOTHER STATE INSPECTION. MY CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE BODY WISE WITH NO OTHER RUST. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND UPON RESEARCHING ON LINE HAVE SEEN THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY HONDA IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. HONDA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CAR OF CHOICE FOR MY FAMILY BUT AFTER THIS I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA. *TR”

“MY HONDA1999 BARLEY HAS 79,000 ON IT, IM SECOND OWNER. I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT HAD ONLY 37,000 MIL. ON IT. THE CAR IS ALREADY HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT JERKS WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP, LIKE A POP JERKY FEEL. MY COOLING SYSTEM HAD PROBLEM IN 2010 OIL GOING INTO MY RADIATOR. AND KNOW I HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE CAR AT TIMES WOULD GO OFF. 79,000 I CANT BELIEVE IT. YOU WOULD THINK THIS MY CAR WAS A FORD WITH THEIR OLDER MODULES. KNOWN TO HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS AFTER 70,000. THIS IS CRAZY. I HAVE ALL PAPERS FROM FIRST OWNER, NEVER REALIZED TILL REACHING THE CHAOS OF MY ENGINE. THAT MY CAR AS WELL WAS A RECALL. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS. *TR”

“UPDATE TO ODI 10444643 FILED 1/20/12. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION AND THE HONDA TOTALLY STALLED AND THE GREEN KEY LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LOSE TOTAL POWER BUT IT STALLED WHILE A FAST VEHICLE APPROACHED FROM THE RIGHT. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD NOT GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT A WRECK. IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. AFTER THAT FIRST EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE TOTALLY LOST POWER WHILE AT A STOP SIGN IN A MALL. IT TOOK 2 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART CAR. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD POSSIBLY BE SO I RESEARCHED THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS HONDA HAD IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2007 AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 121,200 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2002 DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. AM "IGNITION SWITCH UPDATE" WAS COMPLETED ON 10/1/02 AT 59,183 MILES. BY AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL JAN 2012. LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS SWITCH AGAIN BUT IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. CAN'T IMAGINE THIS PROBLEM AT 70 MPH. UPDATE; TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER ON 1/23/12 AND TOLD THE TECH WHAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE TEST…”
