I know for sure that many 1999 Honda Accords--they look exactly like 1998 Accords--were recalled due to ignition switch problems. You should ask your dealer about the recall. If someone knows the website where the information about the recall can be found--please post it. try this site--it might have the information http://www.alldata.com/TSB/24/992425AW.html |

Heh it slipped. Anyway... He thinks he knows everything. I told him to stop trying to start the car before we knew what the problems was but he's very persuasive. I thought it was the starter giving up or with worn out teeth since I had bought a less quality starter but after I removed it I noticed the flywheel teeth are 1/16-1/8 gone and the starter pinion gear is almost brand as new. How much would it cost to fix it up? I don't have the proper tools nor time at the moment to remove the whole transmission. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! --Viktor |

Re: starting problems
Yeah there's a recall for the ignition switch and the tranny. Does the
recall mean they should fix it for free if it's broken? If so, what if I've replaced the stock one once due to problems and now it's broken again? --Viktor "T.
