Page 6 of 7: complaints 131 to 160 of 172, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car jerked and stalled in oncoming traffic. Cars were able to miss me at that time. This occured and I took it immediately to dealership where replacements of output shaft seal x 2 was done. It has continued to pull and stall and still having problems. The trasmission has been serviced and have never had probems. Feel that a 99 honda should not have transmission failures at this time. Mr
Consumer states of having problems with her transmision,consumer also states that there is a recall for this metter on 2000 and 2001 vehicles already.dealer was notified.
Consumer states that while driving the check engine light comes on and stays on. Dealership cannot find problem. Consumer afraid to drive vehicle.
When driving at various speeds the engine will pause and then return to normal. The dealer has replaced the catalytic converter; however the problem still occurs. Please provide further information.
Car died when pulling from stop, had previously died when going 20 MPH. First time dealer said no way to check. This time another dealer checking and said idle was low. Car not part of iginition recall but very same symptons. When car ws less than 1 yr old, took to dealer for somewhat similar problem and was told that keychain may have interferred with ignition. Made detailed report of problem at the dealer. Had 1990 honda civic die on freeway, had 49,000 mile on car. Was a switch and under warranty.very concerned that I will be in an accident. This problem seems far too common with honda. Will think twice about ever buying one again. Had 1980 honda that stalled at red lights but car so old -about 140,000 mile that I just traded it in.
This problem effects emissions, which the government has mandated an extension on honda warranties to 8 year/ 80,000 miles. This appears to be a fairly common problem. One to which the honda corporation fails to respond. There appears to be either a faulty indication of emission problems or parts that are truly defective - wearing out before their normal life expectancy.
While driving, the crankshaft/pulley engine broke, causing vehicle to stall out. Almost causing an accident.*ak consumer also stated that a bolt inside the engine was missing, and some part of the engine was defective which caused the crankshaft pulley to break (all part outside engine).
Consumer states vehicle is stalling while driving, dealer can not remedy problem and has tried by replacing the ignitor on two occasions and spark plugs once.
The vehicle started hesitating and pulling violently forward. Twice having the vehicle checked the second drum was diagnosed as the problem causing the catylic converter to go out. The problem was partially corrected by a independent mechanic. The dealer was informed of the problem. Please provide more information.
While the consumer was driving the maintenance needed and check engine lights illuminated, the dealer stated that the egr valve was clogged, consumer is concerned due to the fact that the vehicle passed 2 emissions tests in less than a 4 month period.
Egr valve emissions continously clogs and no one contacted me about the recall. I spent $500 at other mechanics until I was finally told to call honda.
While driving approximately 15 to 20 MPH engine stalled unexpectedly. Dealership examined vehicle but was unable to reproduce the problem. *jg
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)
Emission valve has been clogged. *ak
Intermittent stalling while driving at any speed. Vehicle been in dealer's shop on 3 occasions, and dealer was unable to duplicate problem. Feel free to provide any further information concerning this matter.
Honda has extended the warranty for the egr to 8 yrs due to failures.
Vehicle shutsdown without prior warning. There is a hesitation before shutting down.
Vehicle stalled out and died without warning. Please provide further information.
For no apparent reason my car stops while driving. This engine shuts down forcing me to make an emergency stop whether I am driving on the freeway or surface streets. This has happened repeatedly and regardless of the speed at which I am driving. I have taken my car to the auto repari shop each time it has occurred over the last 2 weeks, for a total of 7 times. Each time the car is probed and diagnostic testing is conducted but still the problem cannot be identified. I have been told by the mechanics that the computer in my car fails to provide a code which could then be used to trace the source of the problem. Yesterday, dec. 18th, the mechanics had a group discussion about ho
Car stalled while driving.
Vehicle stalled once while driving 50-55 MPH. Dealer could not find a problem with vehicle.*ak the vehicle stalls when applying brake to slow down.
Crankshaft bolt appears to be sheared off. That held the pully in place which holds on the timing chain and 2 other belts. I contacted the honda corporation who was in touch with wilde honda and was told that there is no defect with the bolt. I have spoken to many other mechanics and they have said that it is most likely due to the factory torqueing the bolt down to tight which may have caused a stress fracture. Wilde honda also said that it was due to the air intake filter being changed and the tires being worn. I find that hard to believe and have been told that ,thatis highly unlikely. Would you please check into this and let me know if there are any other cases like this. Thank you.
Vehicle stalls while at stop signs or at an idle, occasional stalling occurs at 55 MPH and under, the vehicle always starts right back up, the dealer can not locate the problem, consumer states the problem is getting worse and that the stalling has happened numerous times.
A banging noise from the engine and a vibration are experienced every time when I start the engine. This is a design defect, since the dealer let me test drove several new honda cars in stock and every 1999 and 2000 year new honda accord lx has this problem. This is dangerous because noise and vibration loose screws and connections for the long run. Some of thousands of screws and connections in a car may drop out some day and cause accident.
Intermittent starting problem; stalled @light rolled back -dealer cannot duplicate problem.
Vehiicle hesistated when acclerating and it stalled. This condition almost caused a crash, which could have been fatal. Vehicle has been checked for trouble over 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months. Dealership has been unable to correct this problem. *ak vehicle has stalled at four occasions when trying to pull into traffic or accelerate. Brake rotors were warpped and rear drum were scored prematurely. Clincking noise in the steering column due to combo switch failure. Driver seat belt squeake when leaning forward or backward due to retracter failure.
