1999 Honda Accord LX Sedan review from North America
"Better than most"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My axel bearing seals went bad at 96000.
At 101,000 miles (now) my check engine light is on indicating a catalytic converter problem. my gas mileage had dropped from 28-29 to 22-23 suddenly.
General comments?
I love this car even though the axel bearing seals went bad. It was a HUGE stroke of luck for me that they went bad right before the 100,000 mile warranty expired because Honda replaced the transmission!for no cost. I only knew something was wrong when I went under to do an oil change and there was a visible transmission fluid leak. Therefore I highly reccomend that people check their transmission fluid level frequently because this could happen to you and if it is not covered under warranty it will obviously be an expensive repair.
Now my check engine light is on and an auto parts store read the code for me and said it is a catalytic converter problem. I certainly don't have the money to fix it so I will have to see what happens.
Sometimes the car shakes violently when I brake hard, say from 80 to zero in the space of a long exit ramp.
But all in all it has been an awesome car.
