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.

: the contact stated while attempting to move forward with steady pressure on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slowly accelerated, but lurched forward after the slow start. Although the problem persisted, the vehicle was not seen by a dealer. Took vehicle to Honda. Wanted to replace throttle body and clean injectors for $305. Cost contact just to clean it, $45. Took it to local garage, and they cleaned the throttle body and linkage and everything was fine.
