CarComplaints.com Notes: 1997 is the last model year in the 5th generation of Accord. Which means it's also the last model year before problems like widespread transmission failure, subframe rust and peeling paint took over.
Does the 1997 have problems? Sure it does. Any car this old will. Some owners say their engine started to cut out around 147,000 miles. That's still not bad, and getting to 200,000+ miles isn't out of the question.
Does anyone believe a newer Accord will reach 200,000 miles?

Concerning the iginition switch recall on Honda vehicles - why should consumers be made to pay almost one hundred dollars to have an alarm system rewired for the vehicle"?" the recall was not the fault of the consumer, and Honda dealerships are charging exorbitant prices to have the alarm system rewired. Even if the alarm is not a Honda part, the 1997 model did not come with an alarm, so obviously one had to be bought, and if the Honda has to remove the wires because of their recall, then there should be no reason to have to pay such high fees to have those wires replaced.
