1999 Honda Accord Fuel system Problems

WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT FOR A MINUTE OR MORE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE TRANS IN DRIVE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE , THEN UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE AND NO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL THE AUTO SURGED FORWARD AT A RAPID SPEED.CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AND A REAR END COLLISION WITH THE AUTO IN FRONT OF ME. I RESEARCHED THIS ANOMALY ON LINE AND FOUND A LIST OF TESTIMONY WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. HONDA DID A DIAGNOSIS OF THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND NO DEFECTS. I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

I STARTED DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY SIDE-ROAD AND AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN THE BRAKES SLOWLY WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. USING THE REGULAR BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE I STOPPED WITHOUT INCIDENT. I PULLED OVER AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD A LARGE LEAK APPROXIMATELY IN THE MIDDLE AND UNDERNEATH THE CAR. AS I WORKED ON REPLACING ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ONE OF THE FUEL LINES ALSO COLLAPSED SO I REPLACED ALL OF THE FUEL AND BRAKE LINES TO BE CERTAIN OF THEIR RELIABILITY. *TR

THE SUBFRAME, BRAKE LINES, FUEL LINES, AND SUSPENSION, ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, HAVE ALL RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT OF FAILURE DUE TO A POORLY DESIGNED A/C DRAIN HOSE. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THIS WAS A PROBLEM DURING ANY OF THE LATER SERVICE VISITS. HONDA SHOULD TAKE ACTION ON THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

MY HONDA1999 BARLEY HAS 79,000 ON IT, IM SECOND OWNER. I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT HAD ONLY 37,000 MIL. ON IT. THE CAR IS ALREADY HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT JERKS WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP, LIKE A POP JERKY FEEL. MY COOLING SYSTEM HAD PROBLEM IN 2010 OIL GOING INTO MY RADIATOR. AND KNOW I HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE CAR AT TIMES WOULD GO OFF. 79,000 I CANT BELIEVE IT. YOU WOULD THINK THIS MY CAR WAS A FORD WITH THEIR OLDER MODULES. KNOWN TO HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS AFTER 70,000. THIS IS CRAZY. I HAVE ALL PAPERS FROM FIRST OWNER, NEVER REALIZED TILL REACHING THE CHAOS OF MY ENGINE. THAT MY CAR AS WELL WAS A RECALL. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS. *TR

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. *JB

TOOK IT TO LOCAL GARAGE, AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND LINKAGE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. *AK

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. *JB
