I recently had some damage done to my drivers side door. Someone backed into it in a parking lot and then (ARUGH!) took off. The door still aligns o.k. and the power window still works well. My father claims that I am wasting my money by having the auto body place repair the large dent in the...

Couple questions about the performance of my car. Just a quick history the subject line, and two transmissions replaced, the current has about 70K miles. Recently, my car starting hesitating when trying to accelerate up a small or large hill, and it's worse if I'm stopped at the bottom of the...

I have a 1998 Honda Accord EX V-6 (~135K Miles). Sometimes when I shift the car into reverse, it makes a very loud noise (as in so loud, that passengers will sometimes gasp slightly). I've taken it into my mechanic, but since the noise is intermittent I can't reproduce it. Does anyone have an idea...

Can someone tell me what all should be done when this is changed and a approx. price? I have been quoted $449.00 - $700.00 from 5 different Honda dealers. I would greatly appreciate any feedback as I have no idea where to go or if I am getting ripped off. I have been told that this includes...

Did the transmission problem exist in the entire model style, 1998 through 1992, or was it only a sub-set of years? Consumer reports only shows an issue in 2000 and 2001. If I purchase one of these cars, how can I be assured that Honda will fix the transmission, if required? David

Good evening, I have a '99 Accord LX (5 speed) with 115k miles that consumes 1 qt every 1,000 miles or so. Has been doing so for the past 18 months. No leaks that I can see (I park in the same part of driveway every day, and had the oil seals replaced at 90k with the timing belt). Passed smog...

Hi, Before anyone flames me...no, I'm not taking any chances with a blinking oil light - the car is not going to be driven until I figure out what to do. I just want to take a shot at fixing it myself before I get into the $70 per hour rate at the dealer. Here's the skinny: 1999 Honda Accord 4...

I have just had my '99 Accord wagon serviced, and the dealer tells me the front engine mount has a split in it and really should be replaced. Its not expensive but it sounds rather fundamental - I'm wondering, is this common and how serious is it? Its the F23A engine.

Yesterday I replaced my spark plugs (the gaps were HUGE) and since I've been noticing poor fuel economy the last month or so, I decided to run 1/3 of a can of Seafoam in through the Brake-assist vacuum line. Shortly thereafter, I got in the car and did a good 160 miles of highway driving. After...

I purchased a keyless entry unit to install into my 1999 Accord LX and ran into a problem. There are two connectors inside the driver's side fuse box which I read were for the purpose of installing keyless entry; a grey one with two pins (lock and unlock), and a blue one with one pin (I thought for...

Is there a filter in this auto tranny ? Where about? Just for my curiosity. My 99 Accord trans whispering after replaced by dealer. It making strange whisper sound when the engine running (car not moving yet). The dealer fixed saying replaced the filter. To my unrstand ther is no filter to replace...

I recently found out that I am having problems with my wipers. I am able to turn them on, but when i tried to turn them off, they would stop in the middle of their cycle, instead of going all the way down. I kind of had to guess when to turn them off in time to make sure that they werer all the way...

Hi All, new to the group. We just picked up a very clean '99 Civic EX 2-door automatic for my daughter's first car. Lately it's been shuddering, slipping a shifting harshly, mostly when pulling away from a stop. Seems to run OK once up to speed though. Coincident with this behavior the...

Hello- I recently bought a '99 Civic HX, which the previous owner had put in a coil-over kit that stiffened the suspension and lowered the car about 1.5". Now I have changed jobs and have a much longer commute, and the hard ride is starting to get old (handles great though in cornering and quick...

I am thinking about a '98-99 Civic or Accord. What are their pros/cons Civic appears to be easier to service with more room in the engine bay. That is important. Is the VTEC technology reliable long term? What years did not have it? Accord is bigger and more expensive but is it more refined and...

1999 CR-V, 93k, has a clunking-like noise from front end when going over bumps, etc. Have replaced the sway-bar links and yesterday replaced the upper arm flange bolts. Seems like noise is now worse after flange bolt replacement. I did the body sealant scraping and torqued them to 73 Nm (54 Ft.lb...

I have a '99 Honda CR-V EX. It's been a great vehicle for us but today I noticed a problem with it (My wife usually drives this vehicle so it's possible it's been happening for a while, I don't know): When driving at low speeds (ie, < 35mpg?) the temp sensor is right at the normal, middle position...

My Honda dealer just replaced a cambelt in my Honda Accord 1.8 Vreg. Everything was fine until I started hearing a whine after done 300 miles since this sservice. The service said, that it is typical and it's nothing to worry about, but I let them to do the replacement one more time as a part...

Are these good cars? I've always wanted a Prelude but: 1. I have a 4 yr old child and he likes to make a mess plus getting a two door can be tricky for a kid. 2. I live in a place with 6-8 months of harsh winters 3. It's a '99 with 110km so I'm wondering if it will start breaking down? 4. It's...

I have just acquired a '99 Accord 4WD wagon (this is an imported JDM model). We had to drive through some light flooding on the way back from the dealers and I noticed that every time we went through some water, a moment later there would be a rising jittery squeal for 2-3 seconds from the front of...
