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 pulled my Accord up to the front door of a subway shop. I set the brake, removed keys and put my cellular phone in my trunk. No movement of car took place. I went in the shop to order my sandwich. I sat down to eat---the vehicle was still in place.as I was disposing of trash. When I went to get in vehicle, it was gone.I thought someone got another Accord.I looked 100 feet to my left and the car was wedged between two cars.the keys were in my pocket.the two owners of the damaged vehicles could not believe what happened.one owner, an insurance broker, said this was a first for him. My question : why would a vehicle roll when the ignition was locked?
Vehicle was parked when struck from the rear. It began to roll at 100 yards, and proceeded to crash into a pole while still in park. Dealer has been contacted.
