My 1999 honda accord's low-beam headlights quit working without notice. I will be driving and then they will just turn off. I have checked the bulbs, and the bulbs are still new. I have bought many sets of bulbs, and the problem persists. I have heard of similar problems japaneese made accords, and american civics. My accord was manufactured in japan.
Brake switch inop. The brake switch goes out requiring the manual over-ride to switch the car out of park. The problem is when the switch goes out, all of the brake lights are inoperable. This has happened three times in the last year and a half. We have owned our 1999 honda accord ex since it was new and we are now going on our fourth brake switch. This last occurence it appears to be intermitent. So I do not know for how long we have been driving with rear brake lights not working every time we use our brakes. The mileage and dates of replacement are as follows: nov 2001 34,000 miles may 2002 40,000 miles feb 2003 53,865 miles
I have been rear ended at stop lights five times in this vehicle. I have been at a complete stop for each one of these. In searching for a reason for this I have realized that the 1999 honda accords have dim brake lights. I would like to know how to proceed with the manufacturer. This has caused multiple injuries and heartaches. I have not been at fault in any of these, and have never had an accident before owning this car.
