1999 Honda Accord Engine Problems

“My 99 Honda Accord has started loosing power and shutting down while driving, took to independent mechanic who replaced plugs and wires we have replaced wires twice in less then 6 months but this hasn't fixed the problem. After reading the complaints I see quite a few others have same problem. This is a safety issue and car should be recalled!”

“My vehicle turned off while I was driving. I was driving about 35 MPH on a main st. The vehicle beeped and the green key light lit up on the dash, then all dash lights went out, the power steering stopped working and the brakes stopped as well. I had to slam my foot on the brakes to keep from rear ending an 18 wheeler.”

“As I was driving my vehicle on the highway, the engine suddenly turned off. As a result, I had to maneuver the car to the side of the highway as I coasted to a stop. During this time it was difficult to steer. I was able to turn the car on again and be on my way. It then happened again several miles down the highway. This was about 5 days ago and it has not happened since.”

“Car repeatedly shuts off when driving. I was driving in the highway and my Honda lights started flickering and the speedometer hands started flickering. My car then shut off and my wheel locked. I tried to restart and it would not turn back on. It sounded like my car was dragging something but I checked underneath and didn't see anything. After gassing the car while starting, it finally started back up but you could tell it was barely being powered. It sounded like it was trying hard to power but it was only doing it so much. …”

“The engine shut off twice on that day while I was driving. Fortunately, there was no accident but might have been in a serious accident. I searched the internet and found out some old Honda models had these kind of problems and it was caused by a defected ignition switch. I contacted a local Honda dealer but there was no active recall regarding of this problem. I got my ignition switch replaced in a mechanic shop.”
