Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1999 honda accord v-6, 90k miles. in july, 2005. i started noticing a whistling sound when the engine was on and the abs and other dash lights would come on and off sporadically. during normal maintenance, i inquired about the noise and dash light problem. nothing was found wrong. the dash lights have been coming on and off ever since. today when the car was cranked, it made a louder than normal whistling sound. after driving if for 1/2 a mile the noise stopped. the next time i drove the car, it stopped accelerating and acted as though it was going to cut off. i parked it and attempted to crank it again but the battery was dead. after recharging the battery, it still could not accelerate. i had it towed to the honda dealership. after inspection, i was told that the transmission would have to be replaced. after researching the internet, i realized that many others with 99 accords have experienced the same problems. considering this is the 3rd honda i have purchased (the transmission had to be replaced on my 93 honda also) it appears to be a problem that needs to be addressed. *nm |
