The transmission had to be replaced. Honda was kind enough to supply the transmission due to an extended warranty (though the car was 5000 miles over), but I was responsible for labor ($800).
Check Engine light continuously comes on. The EGR valve has been replaced and the port has been cleaned twice. Check Engine light comes on within hours of being reset.
SRS light now on. Have read and been told it may be a defective sensor, but no recall has been issued. Not sure how I "broke" an internal sensor for my air bag. Not sure that's even possible.
Gas pedal sticks when first started and driven.
Moonroof will vent, but no longer slides back ALL the way. Only cosmetic and not worth paying to have repaired.
This is a great car. There have been some issues, but all-in-all it's not bad. Great speed for a 4-cylinder car.
Not a good car for families, but definitely has trunk space to spare.
I wonder why so many people are having trouble with their Transmissions and EGR valves. I have two 99 Accords (1 V6 and One 4 cylinder) and I have had no problems at all with them, except for the Delphi alternator.
It’s interesting that you specifically mention problems with the DELPHI alternator as if that absolves Honda of any responsibility. The car is just the sum of the parts that the manufacture selects. Each one must meet their specifications and requirements – including quality! For most people, it’s a HONDA alternator, and if you go to the dealer it has a HONDA price tag too. By the way, can you name any parts on your car that are supplied by a US company that have not caused a problem?
