1999 Honda Accord Electrical System Problems

Why you are driving the RPMs drop down to zero and the car just shuts off and you could be sitting at a light it does the same thing our traffic it is just shut off I Googled about the car and it said it was the ignition switch and then when I Googled that it said it was a recall on my car I'm just trying to see what's going on

CAR INTERMITTENTLY STALLS. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE INCOMING TRAFFIC. WE TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND DIAGNOSED IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. I REMEMBERED THEY HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. IT PROBABLY GOT REPLACED BUT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IS IT TIME FOR ANOTHER RECALL? HONDA DID NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

INGNITION SWITCH NO RETORNA A PASO 0 EL MOTOR NO RETORNA A OFF , Y SE ACTIVA EL MOTOR DE ARANQUE SIN CONTROL Y COJE FUEGO

IGNITION SWITCH NO LONGER LETS ME TURN THE SWITCH TO OFF. CAUSINF THE BATTERY TO DIE

THE CAR STALLS AT ANY SPEED OR TEMPERATURE AND SOMETIMES REFUSES TO START AT ALL AFTER SITTING. THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND REPLACED PREVIOUSLY. NOW YEARS LATER THE PART FAILED AGAIN.

IGNITION SOME TIMES DOESN'T WORK

WHEN YOUR DRIVING OUT OF THE BLUE THE CAR WILL JUST CUT OFF WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT AND YOU HAVE TO TRY TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR A MINUTE AND TRY TO START IT A COUPLE OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL ACTUALLY START 95 % OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ITS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND CITY STREETS THE OTHER 5% OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS WHEN I COME OUT TO START THE CAR IT WILL START THEN SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND IT'S UNSAFE WHEN I'M ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND MY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AND IM COASTING IN TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT

MY VEHICLE QUITS RUNNING FOR LACK OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE ENGINE!!!!! THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM, WHILE DRIVING, AFTER CHECKING EVERYTHING, INCLUDING MAIN RELAY, FUEL PUMP PRESSURE, INJECTORS ECT..I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAPPENS TO HONDAS 1998 TO 2001, HONDA MOTORS IS AWARE OF DEFECT!!!! THE IGNITION SWITCH IS THE PROBLEM!!!!! THE IGNITION SWITCH HARDNESS IS THE DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACE!!!! HONDA MOTORS NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES!!!!!!!

IGNITION SWITCH RECALL ON1999 HONDA ACCORD CAUSES THE CAR TO STALLS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH THAT HAD A RECALL IN 2004 BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS RECALL IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT SO THE DEALER WANTS TO START WITH DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH I HAVE HAD DONE AND IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THAT. THE FIRST HOUR IS $120. RECALL NUMBER WAS 02V120000. ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH DEGRADES DUE TO HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH SWITCH WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED. THIS STALL HAS HAPPENED ON FREEWAY LEAVING ME TO BE IN A ACCIDENT AT ANY TIME.

1) HONDA IGNITION SWITCH: FOUR TIMES BETWEEN END NOVEMBER AND FIRST WK OF DECEMBER: VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN CITY STREETS - SO DANGEROUS! I HAVE TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT. NEED TO WIGGLE IGNITION KEY TO START ENGINE. 2) -INTERIOR LIGHTING DOES NOT WORK WHEN OPENING DOORS. -LIGHT ON CLOCK DOES NOT WORK -PANEL LIGHT OK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 256,482.

TAKATA RECALL I HAD PROBLEMS WITH GETTING THE KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. IT EVENTUALLY FAILED. I WAS INFORMED BY A PROFESSIONAL THAT IT WAS THE KEY. I HAD THE KEY REPLACED. HONDA TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR THE KEY KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. TOO, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIMMED. I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS. THEY STILL APPEAR VERY DIM.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY ENGINE STALLS. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME AS MY CAR WAS COASTING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO STEER MY CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER AS WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR AGAIN. IN DOING SOME INVESTIGATING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THE MAIN ISSUE IS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THERE WERE A FEW RECALLS ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH I HAD GONE TO THE DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF (YEAR 2002 AND 2005). IT APPEARS THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED IS STILL FAULTY. I HAVE AROUND 143K MILES ON MY CAR WHEN THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED. I HAD THIS OCCURRENCE HAPPEN A FEW OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, BUT AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I WANT TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS RECALL REPLACEMENT PART DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND CAN STILL ENDANGER THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.

CAR WAS IN MOTION DRIVING 70 MPH AND ENGINE CUT OUT, MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT FLASHED, POWER STEERING LOCKED, CAR JOLTED. IT DID THIS TWICE WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND RESTARTED BOTH TIMES. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD AND IT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. I TRIED TO REPLICATE IT BUT COULD NOT. I RAN THE VIN LOOKING FOR RECALLS BEFORE PURCHASE BUT FOUND NONE FOR MY VEHICLE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I SAW ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE USED CAR DEALER WHO HAS A MECHANIC ONSITE AND I SHOWED HIM THE COMPLAINTS I HAD FOUND THAT WERE SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED. I HAD HIM REMOVE AND INSPECT THE IGNITION SWITCH. HE DID FIND UPON OBSERVATION THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THERE HAD BEEN SOME ELECTRICAL SPARKS AND I BELIEVE HE SAID SOME CORROSION TOO, AND THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE. I PAID HIM TO PUT IN A NEW ONE AS THIS ISSUE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM THANKFUL THE FAILURE WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THAT THE CAR RESTARTED, OTHERWISE I'M NOT SURE MY DAUGHTER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY STEER THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY AT SUCH A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND BECAUSE SHE IS NOT AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 81,500 MILES AND I BELIEVE ONLY HAD ONE OWNER PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET AN ACCORD WITH LOW MILES, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND HAZARD.

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!

SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH A 1999 HONDA ACCORD VIN # STARTING WITH 1HGCG, WAS TOLD BY HONDA MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. MY CAR WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN AT 70 MPH AND I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AT 15 MPH. NORMALLY WILL TURN OFF AND RESTART ITSELF (WHILE DRIVING) AND THE KEY SIGNAL WILL FLASH. THE PAST TWO TIMES MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET OVER BEFORE GETTING KILLED. AS WELL AS, MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK AND THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. IF THESE WERE THE RECALLS AND I HAVE A 1999 HONDA I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. I PROMISE I WILL CALL EVERYONE I HAVE TO, TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I HAVE A CHILD AND I CAN NOT BE STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 03V423000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,300.

MY CAR HAS BEEN RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NO ONE COULD TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS NO WARNING OTHER THAN LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASH AND THEN CUTS OFF. I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND CAN BARELY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT. NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN IT WILL RESTART ON THE FIRST TRY BUT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WORK WITH IT TO GET IT TO START AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY HONDA ACCORDS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THERE WAS ACTUALLY A RECALL ON 97-2000 HONDA ACCORDS. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO AREN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WITH 99 HONDA ACCORDS WHOSE VIN NUMBER BEGINS IN 1HGCG JUST AS MINE DOES AND ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO OBVIOUSLY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO GATHER THAT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET HONDA TO RECALL IT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE HORN, IT FAILED TO SOUND. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT NOTED THAT THE HOTTER THE VEHICLE WAS, THE MORE FREQUENTLY THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230,000.
