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.

I have noticed a few wet spots on my floor of my garage so I crawled under car to look. I noticed fluid coming out from the transmission on the driver's side where the axle goes throught the axle seal into the transmission. I took the car to exclusive Honda /Acura in omaha ne. They checked the car over and found excessive play in the driver's side output shaft (axel). They advised me I would need a new transmission. The car is a 1999 Accord that has been maintained according to manual and only has 58000 miles. I have also noticed and erratic shift that is very unsafe while driving.
