1999 Honda Accord Coupe EX review from North America
"A costly car that causes buyer's remorse!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes squealed since the day I bought the car.
Back Brakes went out at 26,000 miles.
Front brakes were 50% used at 26,000 miles.
Passenger Seat broke @ 20,000 miles - couldn't recline.
Tail Light went out at 35,000 miles.
Stop Light Switch blew out @ 45,000.
EGR Valve went out and fuel injectors were completely clogged at 45,000.
Ignition Switch was recalled by Honda Corporation in September 2002.
General comments?
The service you receive from Honda dealers is disgraceful. They treat me like I'm a jerk for bringing my car in. They made me wait 2 hours three separate times for an oil change. I have since gone over to Acura for an oil change because they treat me awesome!
I would not buy from Honda again because they screwed me on my money factor rate for my lease and their cars are inferior to BMW, Mercedes and other high end car manufacturers.
The warranty on all Hondas' is 36,000 miles or 3 years. It's pathetic!! After 36,000, that's when all my major repairs took place.
This car has cost me a lot of money and I am happy to say that my lease is up in 10 months... GOOD RIDDANCE!!
