CarComplaints.com Notes: The 1998 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, peeling paint, & subframe rust. 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.
Peeling paint has also been a huge issue for these Accords. Most of the complaints are with darker paint colors -- especially green & blue.
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.
Air doesn't come on when i start the car but if i hit under the dash on the passenger side it cuts on, i have gotten good at it though i just keep a hammer in the floor board and tap it everytime i get in to cut on the air i think it could just be the fan or a loose connection anyone have any ideas?
