So, I’ve been dealing with my '98 Honda Accord Green for a while now. The electrical system can be super annoying. my radio keeps cutting out and sometimes lights act up, like my dashboard blinks randomly. anyone else have this issue? And the AC is another story, it works on good days but on hot days it just blows like warm air. And then there’s the rust. Found some on the lower part of the door, not bad but annoying. How do you deal with rust? But then the engine’s usually good, idles smooth, mostly just car needs good maintenance, right? Has anyone replaced parts to fix this stuff, or are we just waiting for things to break? Just curious how you guys handle it!
I’ve driven a '98 Honda Accord in Texas, and one big issue is the head gasket. It happened after some off-roading trips. The idle was rough too, check those coolant hoses. Also, had problems with the timing belt needing a change. Overall, solid car but keep an eye on common issues. You’ll save headaches if proactive.
I had a '98 Honda Accord Jetta in Boston, and shifting was a nightmare! Gears grinding sometimes. Also, electrical gremlins like the dashboard lights freaking out. That parking brake’s quirky too! I’ve shared some of these jokes with other folks lol. What about you all?
I had a '98 Honda Accord Blue Green in Toronto, and, man, those brakes could drive you nuts! Always had to bleed them like twice a month. The rust issue was a kicker, especially with Toronto winters. Suspension got crunchy sounds after years of road salt, and starting it up in winter was a real workout for a geezer like me. Survived a couple break downs, but worth it!
I’ve got a ‘98 Honda Accord green in Seattle, and the head gasket’s a real pain outta the gate, money pit almost! Also, the timing belt screams for a swap every 60k.

Living in Seattle, I’ve seen a few 98 Honda Accords struggling this winter. Leaks are a big issue, especially windshield ones - rains hit us sideways! I’ve also heard from buddies about timing belt woes. A buddy of mine had the tranny go out incredibly quick, costing him a fortune. But hey, they still roll, right? Worth the quirks if you ask me.
Grew up in California driving my '98 Honda Accord green. Biggest issues were the cam belt and the AC giving up. I’ve heard folks say fuel injectors go south too. The car’s durable but keep an eye. Always fun cruising in our little block. Life lessons with this ride!
Growing up in Toronto, I’ve always had issues with my '98 Honda Accord. Common probs are clutch wear and tricky suspension. I’ve heard the same gripes back in NYC. Anyone else deal with rough shifting? My car drives me nuts!
I’ve got a 98 Honda Accord green here in Ontario. Battery and AC troubles are pretty common. Once, the transmission totally gave up on me. The power window sensors started acting up too. And don’t even get me started on the trunk latch! But, it’s super reliable once everything’s sorted. Anybody else have similar issues?
I’ve owned a '98 Honda Accord green in Toronto for like, 5 years. All good except constantly having clutch probs and weird electrical glitches. Even the radio decided to just quit on me one day. Not the worst tho, decent enough ride overall!
I’ve got a '98 Accord in Florida, and the headlight fauid light’s been killing me. Apparently, it’s a common headlight wiring issue up here—bummer for sure. Tried fixing it myself lmao, zero luck so far. Heard a buddy swapped his EGR valve last year too. Any pros with a fix?
I’ve had a bit of a struggle with my 98 Accord green in Seattle. The timing belt was a nightmare; guess it wasn’t changed on time. The muffler always been going crazy, too, hit a pothole and it started hissling. But, in Canada, guys told me head gaskets can go out, so I’m keeping my eyes peeled. Best to stay on top of these, y’know?
I had this '98 Honda Accord green and man, living in Toronto, was peachy. Issues? Oil leaks like crazy, timing chain hammering louder than my drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. Dealer said wear n tear, laughed, but totally true. Gotta lube it right. Can’t beat the ride though!
Back in Cali, I’ve had a 98 Honda Accord green for years. It’s solid but yeah, electrical issues can be a real pain—lights flicker and weird noises come from the dashboard. Suspension also needs a check now and then, especially after winter here, feels like it’s not quite up to par. But I’ve managed!
I’ve owned one of these greys in Boston for years. The most annoying trouble is the battery; mine went kaput twice. Rust starts creeping up from the undercarriage, too. Timing belt’s another biggie–make sure to keep it in check. But otherwise, she runs smooth. So many vintage vibes in these cars, huh? Anybody else had peculiar issues?
I’ve been dealing with a '98 Honda Accord green since college days here in CA. Usually it’s idle stalling, and the transmission doesn’t always shift smoothly. Battery drain’s a pain too, gotta keep a replacement nearby. One year, the AC kicked the bucket right in the middle of summer. But those little issues aside, still runs pretty well for its age. Anyone else have similar stories?
I’ve had a '98 Honda Accord lx, been in Toronto. Misfires were a real pain, but the AC went kaput fast. Timing belt had to swap before 100k, saved me tons. Great car still, just the quirks ya gots to deal with!
I’ve had my grandma’s '98 Accord green sitting in Boston for a bit, and man, some common issues pop up. The timing belt is a biggie – ignored it once, and it turned into a nightmare! Also, the check engine light can be a real buzzkill, often from O2 sensor probs. My buddy had the brake calipers seized up; needed a whole new job done. If you’re into DIY, it’s a solid ride, but keep an eye on those gremlins!
I’ve had my '98 Honda Accord green since ‘05, living in Spokane, WA, and it’s honestly a trooper. Common issues? The AC compressor bites the dust, and the battery’s a weakling needing swaps more often than I’m proud of. Alignment’s another pain, always throwing a tantrum. But on the flip, it runs smooth! Still kicks like newer rides when it wants to. It’s ol’ faithful, ya know? Nothing beats its soul till it decides to quit.
I’ve had an old 98 Honda Accord in Toronto, and man, did that thing have its quirks! Timing belt issues popped up more often than spring blooming. The AC busted down on me during a scorching summer—I swear it was hotter than a Puckett BBQ. Then had this recurring CEL; seemed like every trip to the shop was just masking new probs. But hey, that ride, it had soul, you know?
