My vehicle turned off while i was driving. I was driving about 15 -20 mph on a main st. Light lit up on the dash, then all dash lights went out, the power steering stopped working and the brakes stopped as well. I had to slam my foot on the brakes to keep from hitting a vehicle at a light.

Began hearing unusual noise from right front tire area when turning. Upon investigating, discovered that the right front tire was worn excessively and that the right front sub-frame is rotted out. No other part of the frame is rotted only the right front. Apparent cause is a design flaw where the a/c drain tube is located directly over this sub-frame and causes it to prematurely rust and rot out. I cannot get an…

On march 3, 2015 my wife's 1999 accord would not start. We had the starter replaced for about $550.00 but the car was still near impossible to start and the engine can cut out at any time once you do have it started. The auto repairman told us the keys made poor contact inside the ignition switch and that was why it was still so hard to start. He taught us a tedious process to start the car but since then when we…

My 1999 honda accord had a strange passenger-side body sound while driving at low speed. I went to the local mechanic who said the passenger side sub-frame was thoroughly rusted. I spent $3300 total to replace the sub-frame with a new one from a honda dealer for $982.18 and two days of labor for $1100. The mechanic and i both reviewed the internet for honda accord recalls on this sub-frame for the 1999-2002 model…

On may 26th, 2014 i had my 1999 honda accord lx sedan in for an oil change. The technician noticed that the front subframe, passenger side has rusted to the point that the subframe will need replaced. The subframe is free of any significant rust otherwise. I was told and have read that this issue has been caused by an improperly placed ac drain hose. The car's undercarriage is virtually rust free as well, and is…

1999 honda accord sub-frame crack from air conditioning drain. Part number 50200-s84-a00 front (rear beam) of the sub-frame has rusted and cracked. The crack is located on the right side of the car directly below where the air conditioning drain tube drips onto the sub frame. All other areas of sub-frame and undercarriage of the car are in great condition. This rusted area is obviously the result of a design flaw…

These are 2 complaints, first one is the power steering leak on my 1999 accord, after hearing about possible fire from fluid leak on newer models i was concerned that this could be an issue with older models also. The second is not a safety issue but a quality issue inregards to the clear coat coming off the car. It would be nice if honda would step up and address these concerns from loyal honda owners. *tr

I was informed that this is a…

When traveling at any speed, but primarily above 50mph the car stalls. I will pull the car off the roadway, wait 30 seconds and attempt to restart. At times it will take up to a couple of minutes for the car to eventually start. Around the same time as the onset of this problem the car makes a grinding sound when you turn the key to start it. The same sound you would her if you were to try and turn the key to the…
