My vehicle was in the left turn lane waiting for the light to turn green. I went and didnt realize the far right lane was for parking only on a 1 way street left headed east it was a 1 way with 2 lanes moving forward a 1 lane next to the curb where vehicles park in front of there residents. I slammed into the back of the parked white chevy truck. My vehicle came to a sudden stop forcing my body forward towards the windshield. My seatbelt only restrained my body so far so I used my foot to apply the brake. My cars passenger side air bag did deploy but the drivers side did not. My vehicle needed to be towed because it was not drivable. I then later had a friend drive me to the emergency room. I didnt want to go by ambulance due to pandemic in place. About 2 to 3 weeks later I recieved the recall letter in my mailbox. Since the accident I have been unable to work or even daily functions. I have a crushed heel and unable to walk. Sever pain and swelling. My life has completely changed.

What 1999 Honda Accord owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Ignition switch no longer lets me turn the switch to off. Causinf the battery to die
Ignition some times doesn't work
The car stalls at any speed or temperature and sometimes refuses to start at all after sitting. The ignition switch recall was performed and replaced previously. Now years later the part failed again.
Car repeatedly shuts off when driving. I was driving in the highway and my honda lights started flickering and the speedometer hands started flickering. My car then shut off and my wheel locked. I tried to restart and it would not turn back on. It sounded like my car was dragging something but I checked underneath and didn't see anything. After gassing the car while starting, it finally started back up but you could tell it was barely being powered. It sounded like it was trying hard to power but it was only doing it so much. Now I'm sitting still on side the highway and it also runs hot so I filled the antifreeze and now I'm letting t run, hoping that the antifreeze is the cause of these problems. My car sounds awful!!!!! It doesn't even have 150k miles!!!! For it to be a 1999!!!!!!
I am having issues w/temp gauge going up and down , may have to have a big eng, job done, this is not right, I take very great care of my cars, neaver had issues like this before, ? Heater core, , and paint on the roof!!! Why the rest of car is fine, looks like skin cancer ,this should be fixed!!! I have heard that they are redoing this! Car runs ok,, temp gauge is a big issue 151,000 miles. Good for the yr!!!
My vehicle turned off while I was driving. I was driving about 35 MPH on a main st. The vehicle beeped and the green key 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 rear ending an 18 wheeler.
My 99 honda accord has started loosing power and shutting down while driving, took to independent mechanic who replaced plugs and wires we have replaced wires twice in less then 6 months but this hasn't fixed the problem. After reading the complaints I see quite a few others have same problem. This is a safety issue and car should be recalled!
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact parked, shifted into neutral, and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. A warning light illuminated, but the contact was unable to identify the name of the warning light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall and did not provide a diagnosis for the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 236,988.
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.
