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.

Inherited the 1999 Honda Accord LX with 154,000 miles from my mother. In Aug. of 2019 the engine would shut off randomly. Sometimes at highway speeds, in traffic at 65 mph, sometimes it would not start after sitting, sometimes at low speeds. Our Mechanic could not find any problems, the dealer said the electronic portion of the ignition switch recall has been done. This is a safety hazard, especially at highway speeds in heavy traffic.
