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.

1999 honda accord v-6, 90k miles. In july, 2005. I started noticing a whistling sound when the engine was on and the ABS and other dash lights would come on and off sporadically. During normal maintenance, I inquired about the noise and dash light problem. Nothing was found wrong. The dash lights have been coming on and off ever since. Today when the car was cranked, it made a louder than normal whistling sound. After driving if for 1/2 a mile the noise stopped. The next time I drove the car, it stopped accelerating and acted as though it was going to cut off. I parked it and attempted to crank it again but the battery was dead. After recharging the battery, it still could not accelerate. I had it towed to the honda dealership. After inspection, I was told that the transmission would have to be replaced. After researching the internet, I realized that many others with 99 accords have experienced the same problems. Considering this is the 3rd honda I have purchased (the transmission had to be replaced on my 93 honda also) it appears to be a problem that needs to be addressed.

I am the original owner of a 1999 honda accord (purchased new) with 57,400 miles. While traveling down hill in wet but not rainy conditions, my brakes failed. The pedal went all the way to the floor & I lost all braking power. I was not able to pump the brakes back up and there were no brake indicator or warning lights that came on. It was not an ABS activated system because the pedal simply fell to the floor. After the car sat for approx. 30 minutes, full braking power returned. There was also a burning smell, with a foul odor. When I took the car to an independent shop, no problem could be found. I was told it was a one-time occurrance. I then took the car to a honda dealer (this is the 5th honda I have owned & I have never experienced this problem) the dealer gave two reasons for loss of brakes/pedal to the floor: loss of brake fluid (mine was fine) or a problem with the internal seal in the master cylinder. The dealer replaced my master cylinder and bled the whole system. The car has rather low mileage & has been regularly serviced. My child & his friend were in the car with me when the brakes failed. There was no crash as I used the e-brake and was able to come to a slow stop (it took approx. 1block) and I was only traveling approx. 30 MPH.

I was driving my 1999 honda accord when my cd started skipping and then my ABS dash light came on. I continued on the highway (a major interstate with heavy traffic) until my exit. When I slowed down at an approaching intersection, my car just died. Absolutely everything quit...radio, AC,etc...car flashers would not work, I was stranded in heavy traffic without any way to let approaching traffic know I had car trouble. Put my hood and trunk up and escaped my car. It was terrible...but would have been much worse if I had still been on I-285 which is a heavily trafficked artery around atlanta with multiple lanes and fast traffic. I got absolutely no warning that this would happen...no dash lights (I.e. Battery indicator light) came on to let me know that my alternator had died. That is why the car quit as I slowed at the intersection...the battery had been drained completely. I have had nightmares about what would have happened to me had I still been on the interstate or had this occurred at night, and I do not feel safe knowing that this could happen again since I travel that busy highway every day! I think this is a major electrical defect. My car was repaired at carey paul honda in snellville ga and they assured me that I did not have an electrical problem...but, no indicator light came on at all! Please investigate this. I will also contact honda of america about this problem.

My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 accord. When I need to accelerate the car "misfires" according to the gresham honda dealership. This is where the car is being serviced. Contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503‑676‑7070. I am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because I never know when my car will misfire. At times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms. Basically, there is no acceleration. The check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates. The first two times that the car was taken to the honda dealership the check light did come on. My car is currently on it's 5th stay with honda. They(honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was. Hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly. I'd hate to be the cause of an accident. Equally as important, I have had a failure with my ABS. While there was no accident, I barely stopped at the intersection while brakes locked up on pavement. I have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above. In fact, the honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my accord. I may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number. Thank you for your time, amber weimerskirch. *ak (tiresize: w-10)
