Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 484)
Electrical System →7 issues
Your car caught fire and exploded while parked, even though it hadn't been driven for over 2 hours. No warning lights appeared beforehand, and the car was regularly maintained. This issue may be related to a known recall (98V231000). The repair will likely involve inspecting and replacing the faulty electrical component that caused the fire.

Your car's ignition switch has failed twice — once during a 2002 recall and again in 2016 — causing the engine to stall without warning while driving. You experienced a stall at a red light, and when you tried to restart the car as the light turned green, another vehicle rear-ended you. Honda replaced the switch both times after you contacted them.

Your car suddenly lost engine power while driving at 25 mph, with no warning lights showing up. After restarting, it worked fine temporarily, but the problem kept happening. A mechanic replaced your battery, carburetor, and alternator, but the power loss continued to occur even after the repairs.

Your 1997 Honda Accord won't start when you turn the key. The vehicle has not been diagnosed or repaired yet. This issue may be related to a known electrical system problem that Honda has a campaign for.

When you turn the ignition key to start your car, you hear an electrical sparking sound and the engine won't start on the first try—it takes several attempts before it finally starts. This happens even when the car has been parked and is cold.

Your car's engine shuts off unexpectedly while you're driving—both while moving and when stopped in traffic. Your mechanic identified a faulty ignition switch as the cause, which was the subject of a recall in 2002 that may or may not have been performed on your vehicle. Replacing the ignition switch should resolve the stalling issue.

Your 1997 Honda Accord stalled unexpectedly right after you started it, though it restarted without further issues. The car hasn't been diagnosed or repaired for this problem. This stalling issue may be related to an electrical system recall (NHTSA campaign 02V120000), and you should have a mechanic inspect your electrical system and ignition components to identify the cause.

Vehicle Speed Control →3 issues
While driving your 1997 Honda Accord at about 60 mph with cruise control engaged, you found the vehicle wouldn't slow down when you tried to brake. You swerved to avoid oncoming traffic, went into an embankment, and were hit by a pickup truck. Your passenger was taken to the hospital by ambulance but was treated and released. This appears to be a critical brake or cruise control system failure that prevented normal deceleration.

Your car is severely hesitating when you try to accelerate, and this problem happens repeatedly. The issue hasn't been diagnosed or fixed yet. This acceleration problem will likely require a mechanic to check your fuel system, ignition system, and engine sensors to identify the cause.

Engine →2 issues
Your car overheated and produced smoke while driving at 30-35 mph, even though no warning lights came on. After letting it cool down, the problem happened again. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic but hasn't been diagnosed or repaired yet. The issue likely involves the cooling system, and a mechanic will need to inspect the radiator, hoses, thermostat, and coolant levels to find the cause.

Your engine loses power while driving at highway speeds (65 mph), and this has happened multiple times. The vehicle needs diagnostic testing to identify the root cause. The repair will likely involve identifying whether the issue is fuel delivery, ignition, or engine sensors.

Air Bags →2 issues
Your SRS (airbag system) warning light turned on while you were driving on the interstate, even though you didn't hit anything or have any accident. The light has stayed on continuously since then. This indicates a problem with your airbag system that needs diagnostic attention to identify what's triggering the warning.

Your airbag warning light (SRS light) turned on unexpectedly while you were driving. The dealer quoted you a high repair cost, but you haven't had the work done yet. You're concerned about why this happened during normal driving and whether the manufacturer should cover the repair cost.

Exterior Lighting,wheels,engine →1 issue
Your 1997 Accord has multiple serious issues: the engine shuts off unexpectedly (possibly due to a failing O2 sensor), both CV joints are worn or failing causing knocking noises, and the front-end alignment is severely out, causing rapid tire wear. You experienced a dangerous loss of control on the interstate during rain where the car pulled to the right instead of responding to steering input. Additionally, the headlights flicker on and off, the radiator cooling fans don't work, the cigarette lighter is non-functional, and the front power windows won't operate properly. Most of these issues will require a complete diagnostic inspection and replacement of worn suspension and electrical components.

Power Train,electrical System,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
While driving, your car's speed drops and the gas pedal becomes unresponsive. Smoke and fire appear from under the dashboard, and the transmission hesitates when shifting. Your car is unsafe to drive in this condition.

Power Train,electrical System,exterior Lighting →1 issue
Your car is randomly shutting down while you're driving, including multiple times on a dark highway in bad weather—a serious safety concern that mechanics haven't been able to diagnose. You're also experiencing interior lights that flashing on and off (especially when turning), noises from the front wheels/tires suggesting something may break, and an air conditioning system that won't cool properly even after replacing the compressor twice; in summer, it blows heat instead and the windows won't roll down. The engine has also overheated unexpectedly. Fixing these issues will likely require comprehensive electrical diagnostics to find the shutdown cause, suspension/wheel bearing inspection for the noise, and air conditioning system repair or replacement.

Suspension →1 issue
Your car's frame has severe rust where the suspension bolts attach to it, which is a safety hazard. This rust can weaken the structural integrity and potentially affect how your suspension works. A mechanic will need to inspect the rusted areas and may need to replace affected frame sections or reinforce them.

Suspension,electrical System,service Brakes →1 issue
During a test drive of this 1997 Honda Accord, you had to pump the brake pedal repeatedly to slow the car down over a short distance. When returning to the garage, the service engine light came on and the vehicle began vibrating. These issues suggest problems with the braking system, engine, and suspension that need professional diagnosis and repair.

Power Train,engine →1 issue
You heard a loud metallic noise coming from under the hood whenever you put your car in reverse. The dealer found that your transmission failed and a motor mount (the part that holds your engine in place) had cracked. Even after the dealer replaced these parts, the noise came back. This happened around 170,000 miles on your car.
