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 first car was a Honda Civic from the 80's and it was an awesome car that lasted over 400K miles with the original engine & transmission. My mom & dad drove Accords, one was a '79 and another was from the 80's like my Civic and they performed well and lasted over 200K miles. My wife & I have purchased two Honda Accords recently that have both failed in ways that are about as expensive to repair as the value of the cars in good working condition. The 02 started slipping in 2nd and 3rd gears and would require a new transmission, and this '99 that we just bought started pumping its oil into the cooling system due to a cracked block and will require a new engine. This is ridiculous (and expensive) we've always recommended Honda's, and maintenance by Honda dealerships to our friends, but now we're definitely turned off to Honda's unless Honda restores our faith in their cars by helping with the repairs on these two that we recently purchased!
