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?

I have a 1997 honda accord sedan. When at a red light or stopped the whole car vibrates. When you have your foot on the brake and you push down on the gas just a little bit the vibrating goes away. The motor mount has been replaced the EGR valve has been cleaned I dont know what to do. The problem is still there... Please help.
