CarComplaints.com Notes: 1997 is the last model year in the 5th generation of Accord. Which means it's also the last model year before problems like widespread transmission failure, subframe rust and peeling paint took over.
Does the 1997 have problems? Sure it does. Any car this old will. Some owners say their engine started to cut out around 147,000 miles. That's still not bad, and getting to 200,000+ miles isn't out of the question.
Does anyone believe a newer Accord will reach 200,000 miles?

EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THIS STUPID PIECE OF JUNK IT HAS HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED, THE HOSES, THE FUEL FILTER, THE WINDOW AND I KNOW THE TIE ROD ENDS ARE BAD. I NEED HELP BECAUSE I AM A SINGLE WOMAN WITH NO RESOURCES TO GET THIS REPLACED AND A NEW JOB THAT I HAVE TO HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE TO.
