When starting from cold in the morning, the vehicle coughs and does not accelerate when the accelerator is pressed. After some time the check engine light came up. Vehicle runs smoothly after engine warms up. Mileage reduced from 29 mpg in city to 25 mpg. The mechanic said the check engine light was for "lean fuel mixture". He reset the alarm and said nothing could be done. Same problem has repeated several times. Mechanic says that he has seen several vehicles with this problem and honda released a kit to solve it but I'll have to buy it. Honda should recall all vehicles with this problem and install the kit.
1999 Honda Accord fuel system complaints

Dt*: the contact stated while attempting to move forward with steady pressure on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slowly accelerated, but lurched forward after the slow start. Although the problem persisted, the vehicle was not seen by a dealer. Took vehicle to honda. Wanted to replace throttle body and clean injectors for $305.00. Cost contact just to clean it, $45.00. Took it to local garage, and they cleaned the throttle body and linkage and everything was fine.
This is a follow-up to a previous complaint - 10020962 from last year. Low and behold, 4 months after my brake rotors were turned and repaired, the brakes started to warp again. The honda dealership would not re-repair them - they indicated that the aftermarket brake pads on the front were causing the problem (the brake pads were fine). I took my car to another facility - one that fixes and maintains race cars - they indicated that auto makers are using lighter (and less durable) parts to enhance mpg ratings - which is more likely the cause of this problem with my honda accord, as well as with other types of vehicles. The good news was that while my car was in, I was able to get the recall on the ignition switch fixed, and at the same time, they indicated that my car needs a new catalytic converter - I believe this is the same issue many honda owners are facing - "check engine" light comes on about 3-4 months into each new gas cap. I've had 4 for this vehicle (and have not lost any). I've never replaced a gas cap in my life before, just as I have never had brake rotor problems before. The only good thing I could say was that they did not charge me the diagnostic fee - given the problems I've had, I would hope not. I ended up having the o2 filter / sensor (whatever it is) replaced at another facility - which took care of a drop in mileage issue I was experiencing. The bad news for honda is that I am probably going back to toyota - I would love to have another honda if the dealership would stand behind their vehicles or make me an offer I can't refuse (with a decent trade in on this vehicle)...I'm in the market for a 2004-2005 small to med SUV...I loved some aspects of my accord, but need a new, larger vehicle to haul my daughter back and forth to college. Ps: since I know the rotors won't last, I'm not repairing them anymore. This is obviously a faulty design for this model.
Sticking accelerator pedal in a 1999 honda accord ex sedan 4 cyl automatic. The accelerator started sticking and would result in a sudden unsafe surge when accelerating from a stop. The dealer identified the problem as a carbon build-up in the throttel body which resulted in the throttle plate sticking.
Need to lubricate the seat belt buckles. Check engine light is on. Filler neck is bent. Need to replace fuel pipe.
When temperature reaches under 32f, first thing in the morning, the car was warmed up, and after driving 1/2 mile, the car shut-down and won't restart. *ak problem was found to be the fuel pump, according to the mechanic, he has known of at least 20 accords from the same model 98-02, with similar problems, and it all was traced to the same manufacturer who made the fuel pumps.
The vehicle died due to the fuel line coming off, which was due to the faulty installation of the gas tank. The vehicle would stall on numerous occasions. The dealer could not duplicate the problem. The consumer was sent a recall of the ignition switch. Scc
Vehicle experienced seat adjuster and gas gauge problems. *ak
Consumer states that when vehicle's check engine light comes on the vehicle shakes. Dealer notified. Please provide additional information. Ts
While driving at any speed and with no warning fuel tank cracked, causing fluid to leak out, and it could cause a fire. Dealer notified.
1.) sometimes when I start the car the gas pedal sticks. 2.) while coming to a stop the car shuts off as if the battery died. The battery is fine. 3.) yesterday duiring the day the car would not start, acted as if it wasen't getting any fuel. The gas tank is full. After several attemps and waiting for 15-minutes the car started ok. I have serviced my car as required.
Fuel gauge incorrectly registers amount of fuel in tank. Even when filled, gauge registers no more than 3/4 full. Occasionally registers full immediately after fillup, but soon drops to 3/4 or less.
Car stumbles,and or hesitates since first day
Fuel gauge never read full, on a full gas tank. Dealer replaced fuel sending unit, which resolved the problem. Driver's side seat belt gets caught on the release lever of the seat-back while seat belt is buckled. This severely restricts the of movement of the driver. When this happens, I am strapped very tight in the seat until I can manage to remove the seat belt part that is stuck to the release lever.
