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.

This is my 3rd Honda Accord and the first time I have experienced any major problems. This first Honda (1991) was totaled in an auto accident, the second Honda (1994)was stolen and demolished. I have always bragged to my friends/family about owning a Honda, until now. I am very disappointed in this transmission problem. I have yet to have it fixed and am weighing my options. After reading the questions listed, I realized I am not in this boat alone. If there is a class action lawsuit, I will definitely be included. I'm not sure if I will ever purchase a Honda Accord again!!!
