The car just shuts wherever you are, in the middle of the highway. It happened numerous times. Sometimes it wouldn't start. But my daughter was driving the car and it shut off in the middle of the highway. She was very lucky that an accident didn't occur. This part (ignition switch has be on recall) for the 98 accord but not my particular vin# which i think is ridiculous. Why would it be on 98 accords and beyond but…

Five mins later the car came back on and i took it to several auto shops and they couldn't determine what was wrong with my car. For a month this problem seemed to stop all together. Recently it did this stopping while i was driving on the…

Faulty sealant on black accord. Premature degradation. Began in small area on roof. Not too bad at first. Over past winter, sealant breaking down in about 15 places. Car has been garaged and not subject to automatic car wash (unless that is what local honda dealer uses). Considerable devaluation of vehicle advertised as holding its value. *jb

Problems began when i took my 1998 accord ex in to have the 30,000 mile service. I was told that the brake pads needed to be replaced. I had them replaced and went in for another major service check a year later and was told the car needed new brake pads again, that's only 18,000 miles later. The honda dealership mechanic told me replacing the pads every 20,000 miles is not uncommon for these cars. I, then, took the…

The engine completely blew out one day. I was on the way to work and there was an explosion under my hood. Honda put in a re-built engine and i have had nothing but problems since then. A few months later...the paint gradually started to fade away on the roof. It has only gotten worse and will get much worse. It is a 1998 honda!! This stuff shouldn't be happening!
