“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE RPM REVVED UP AND JERKED WITH THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE INSPECTED.

“AT AROUND 185000 MILES NOW, THIS CAR WHICH WE BOUGHT A FEW YEARS AGO WITH MAYBE 50,000 TO 60,000 LESS MILES STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD BETWEEN 1ST GEAR AND 2ND GEAR. NOW IT SLAMS IN GEAR. FROM ALL WE'VE READ IT IS A DESIGN FLAW REGARDING THE FILTER WHICH COLLECTS TINY METAL PARTICULATES PREVENTING ENOUGH PRESSURE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO PROPERLY AND SMOOTHLY SHIFT. HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND WILL NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS I FIND WHEN READING ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT ONLINE AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME THING. AND THERE ARE SO FEW LEFT OF THESE YEARS THAT HONDA OUGHT TO HAVE NO PROBLEM REPLACING OR REPAIRING THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE STILL DRIVING THESE CARS. I WANT THEM TO REPAIR OR REPLACE OUR TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN FLAW, NOT OUR MISUSE. PLEASE SEE THIS GETS REVIEWED BY A DECISION MAKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RANDOM FAILURE WITH THE PARK INTERLOCK FUNCTION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF PARK SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.”

“TRAVELLING ON INTERSTATE WHEN WHEN FRONT-END OF VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. MOMENTS AFTER THE VIBRATION, THE CAR VEERED HARD RIGHT ON ITS OWN. UNABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AS STEERING WHEEL SEEMED AS IT WAS "LOCKED" IN A HARD-RIGHT ENABLING POSITION. THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE DRIVER TO HIT A RETAINING WALL AT APPROX 55MPH, CAUSING BODILY INJURY. INSPECTION REVEALED A FAULTY/FAILED STEERING KNUCKLE, WHICH HAD COMPLETELY FAILED/SNAPPED. CAR CONSIDERED A TOTAL, AFTER INCIDENT.”

“THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING A PROBLEM WITH HONDA, AND THE CAR WAS GETTING A STATE INSPECTION AND FOUND OUT THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE . WILL NOT PASS A PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 1999 TO 2002 ACCORDS CALL HONDA THEY WILL NOT HELP ( 168000 MILES ON CAR ).”
