CarComplaints.com Notes: The 1999 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, engine shuts off while driving, & peeling paint. We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague.
The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 100,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000.
Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.
Engine stalling while driving in the 1999 Accord is typically caused by a defective ignition switch -- inexpensive to repair (under $200) but dangerous.
Peeling paint has also been an issue for these Accords. Most of the complaints are with darker paint colors -- especially green & blue.

My 99 Honda Accord ex cuts off while traveling down the road without warning. This is due to ignition sensor which I corrected shortly after buying my car with rick hendrick Honda. Now years later there is a recall on the ignition interlock. But, Honda will not fix the ignition senor because it has nothing to do with the recall. Certainly this is a serious safety matter and I feel it's unfair that Honda will only fix half of the problem and burden the cost to me. I don't think I'm alone with this type of problem. Please investigate this matter. I feel I shouldn't have to pay for this ignition sensor. I had the recall ignition interlock fix at Honda of columbia, P.O. Box 8234, columbia, SC 29202.
