1999 Honda Civic Problems

The contact owns a 1999 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle lost electrical power inadvertently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. Additionally, the contact stated that the instrument panel lights were no longer illuminated while starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the ignition switch was corroded at the contact point. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and several other unknown dealers were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I left work as usual when shortly after near my work I began to smell a strong gasoline smell and I parked to check the vehicle when I turned off the vehicle it made a slight explosion and caught fire

Was in a car accident and the airbags did not deploy. I was diagnosed with a fractured sternum as my chest hit the steering wheel

You listed this VIN as having an airbag recall repair pending. I setup an appointment at the dealer. They went through the motions of doing the replacement and gave me paperwork indicating they had serviced the recall, but I believe you had lied to me and they are lying to me about the recall. This VIN does not correspond to an airbag recall according to multiple other sources. I recently inspected the passenger airbag it definitely not new. That is what clued me to begin checking further. I don't believe they replaced the driver airbag either. In the mean time I had to take buses to and from the dealership, after work, at night, in the rain, in the middle of this Omicron Covid spike. You an the dealer endangered my health and I want to know why and who is responsible.

While driving on the highway car engine shut off and completely lost power. After getting on to the shoulder car would not start, electric windows would not operate. Approximately 30 minutes later car started and made it home on city streets. Have not driven it since. Checked and did not find any recalls on this.

Air condition unit stop working the smell of smoke.

I HAVE A 99 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE. MY TRANSMISSION STARTED HOLDING OUT GOING INTO SECOND GEAR, AND HAD A SMALL JERK. WHEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT HARD BACK INTO 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GAVE UP ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE TRANY WOULDNT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR, AND WHEN IT DID, IT WOULD QUICKLY SHIFT BACK DOWN, AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO REV AT A HIGH RPM. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY COULDNT HELP ME. I HAD MY CAR PUT IN THE SHOP, AND MY TRANY REBUILT. COST ME $1200. I WAS READING A CHAT FORUM, AND HAVE DISCOVERED A TON OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVEING TROUBLE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS IN THEIR HONDAS'!!

3 out of 4 doors have stopped opening from the outside. The locks still work properly and have no effect on the outside door handles. The doors still open just fine from the inside, except for the driver door. The driver door will not open at all, which is a major safety issue and should have been recalled, especially since the door handles are well known issue for Hondas. Although the car does have minor damages to the body, the door handles have not been affected at all by them. This seems to be an issue that lies inside the door panel itself.

IT STOPPED HALFWAY OPEN OR SHUT DEPENDING ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND TOOK A PEAK WHILE HE REPAIRED IT. THE CLAMPS ATTACHED TO THE MOTORIZED TRACK, THAT HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE WHILE MOVING UP AND DOWN, HAD LOOSENED UP. THE SLACK HAD CAUSE THE CLAMP TO SHIFT POSITION DURING MOVEMENT AND THE WINDOW IN TURN SLID OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS CAUSED THE WINDOW TO JAM AGAINST THE DOOR FRAME.

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE, CAN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE WHEN IT HAPPENS, HAVE TO THROW HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PULL OVER INTO EMERGENCY LANE. IF NOT IN MOTION, CAR WILL JUST STALL, AND CARS BEHIND WILL REAR END MY VEHICLE IF NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO AMERICAN HONDA, BUT, MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL THEY HAD ON THE ELECTRICAL IGNITION SWITCH. THEY DIRECTED ME TO HAVE NHTSA ADD MY VIN TO THE RECALL SO THAT I MAY THEN QUALIFY. *TR

THE STEERING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WANDER LEFT TO RIGHT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NLM

HEADLIGHTS FAILED, DIDNT KNOW TILL ON THE ROAD AND DIDNT SEE MY HEADLIGHTS HIGH BEAMS FUNCTION BUT NEITHER LOW BEAM WORK.*AK

POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW WITH THE FRONT RUNNING LIGHTS / TAIL LIGHTS ARE NON-FUNCTIONING WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS ARE "ON" WHICH RESULT IN POOR VISIBILITY AND MAY BE POSSIBLE INJURIES IF COLLISION OCCURED DUE TO FAILURE. *YC
