2000 HONDA Accord

Paint looks terrible

Paint bubbles on the front roof @windshield. Water leakage due to this issue. Unable to use car when it rains.

Vehichle went in “reverse” while in the “drive” position and caused a backing accident with potentially 2 injuries. The vehicle had previously been in “reverse”.

Driving at 50mph. Transmission slips and won’t go to drive mode. White SUV collided with my rear bumper

i purchase my honda new and I had a lot of problems with it in the beginning. I only take it to honda to be serviced. I had problems with my electrical, not revving up, and not moving out of the park gear. I think honda service took advantage of me being a woman back then and just put a “bandage” on my problem until my warranty expired. they never fixed what they should have which was the transmission. I got a new battery, alternator, computer but never the transmission. I saw on line that honda even had a bulletin out on their transmission specific to my complaints and the honda dealers never mention it to me when I said I experienced those problem. Nowto date, I take my car to the honda dealership and they tell me my transmission is out, and I do research on the internet and find this was a know problem. I was even told by the honda service manager that the transmission on the 2000 honda accord v6 is bad. I called honda and they act like there’s nothing they can do for me. That is bad business.

April 28, 2014, when having my 2000 Honda Accord serviced I learned that my vehicle suffers from the widely reported sub-frame rust-out on the passenger side. While the vehicle is in otherwise excellent condition, with no other signs of rusting and only 76,000 miles, I am now forced to either invest $2000+ into a replacement of the sub-frame on a vehicle worth approximately $5000, or take the hit and get what I can on a trade for a new vehicle.

I was unable to find any Honda recall, announced or ‘silent’, on this issue. I have filed a complaint (ODI #10585329) with the NHTSA.

The paint and clear coat peel off.

rusted out sub-frame, passenger side. Honda complaint #n012013-071901463.

We have had Honda service the car since purchase in 2003, we even had a 2 year warranty.
But the mechanics who serviced it during the past 10 years, never once said anything to us about a rusted frame. In 2012 we complained about a noise from the passenger side and after a $500 bill, it was still present when the car hit bumps. Over time, the noise has become more noticeable and now we are told it is a rusted out sub-frame ($1500-$2000 estimate).
We are not happy because we spent $1000’s on maintenance over the years. We only had Honda service techs maintain it and we were hoping to give it to our daughter. But now we have to get rid of it and start over.

Dash board light turn off at times without warning, gears jerk while driving at all times.

Experiencing transmission problem which Honda is refusing to repair/replace. Honda is aware of this problem and has extended the warranty to 7 year 7 months or 109K miles but my car happens to fail just outside of the warranty. The on time scheduled maintenance and proper treatment is probably to blame. Consider this as my formal complaint against Honda for not standing behind their product and inadequate customer service.

It is unreasonable that Honda limited its recall and problem resolution to an issue that was such a widespread production defect. Honda acknowledges that they created the problem, but expects the consumer to absorb the cost for Honda’s mistake. Not very professional.

We watched on news day 5 in Cleveland Ohio on 10/15/2012 about frame on passenger side of the accords are rusting out. My auto mechanic told me a month ago that the frame on the passenger side front is rusting out.

Transmission started to act up prior to final repair – maybe around 89,000 miles. At first ,rough jerky response during lower gear shift when car was first driven in the morning. The first time it happened was when it was raining and then each morning after. Eventually it happened all the time and became difficult to drive comfortably. Eventually the engine light came on. The Honda dealer said it needed a new transmission. I had complained about the jerky shifting serveral months before prior to a major service and timing belt change (cost around $1000 for both) but the Honda dealer said then they could not detect a problem with the transmission “there were no error codes when hooked up to the computer”. So I went ahead with their recommended repair work then. They told me nothing about there having been known transmission issues with 2000/2001 Honda Accords. I found this out when I shopped around to find a better price to replace the transmission.

Transmission failed well past the extended warranty period allowed for in the 2006 class action lawsuit. My dealership never mentioned anything about this when I went in for service.

Car is in need of a third transmission at 126,000

total transmission failure in very heavy morning am drive traffic in Atlanta….almost rear ended causing a 5 car pileup…a result of the junk transmissions Honda has put in my 2000 Accord & 2002 Odyssey…they accept no liability for this junk…I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA>>>REPEAT NEVER

Transmission failed in 2003 and was repaired through a recall two years after purchase. Transmission started to slip again in 2009. Transmission went out completely in 2010 while I was driving on the highway.

Tried to qualify for the recall when the car was at about 110k miles, but was turned away and had to pay for the fix myself in 2004. Unfortunately i had to pay for the cost of the fix (rebuild transmission) out of my own pocket which cost 2,159. I thought the problem was fixed, but apparently now the car just revs and doesn’t shift into 2nd gear. Although it is true that it is 2011 and the car has about 147k miles, this problem should be addressed by Honda themselves and they should stop giving customer the run around and stop denying there is a defect with this model.

I can’t believe that I’m going through this again, I can remember when I first brought the car in 2004 three days after purchase I needed the transmission replaced I’ve should of known when I took the car for a test drive and the check engine light came on THAT WAS A WARNING. Willis Honda did have my car for about 3weeks and gave me a rental and they so called rebuild the transmission. In 2007 I again started having problem with my transmission so I took it to Burns Honda and again they had to rebuild the transmission but on my paper work it said A PRELUDE TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. 2011 again I’m having transmission problem, my car will not move in gear. I took it to Cottman and the quote was to outrageous. This is a disgrace because I love Honda’s but what the hell is going on with their tranny’s? I’m a single mother with limited income. Honda should be responsible for transmission problems. There should be a life time warranty because this is a mess. I’m so fed up it seems like every three years I need a damn transmission. I’m ready to sue Honda’s manufactures. I can’t believe that the nightmare is starting again. My car is just sitting in front of the house because I can’t afford to get it fixed.

When car is driven initially after sitting for a few hours or longer, it will rev up at low speeds and then jerk very hard between 5 to 6 times. Once car has been driven for about 15 minutes it is not as bad, but still shifts jerky. Engine light is continuously lit and green D for drive light will blink. When this is happening car will not accelerate when gas pedal is depressed. I bought this car brand new in 2000 and it only has 62,000 miles on it. I have followed Honda’s recommended maintenance schedule as outlined by my local Honda service department where I purchased the vehicle.

Honda has bad history of transmission failure and my car all of sudden broke down in one fine morning with transmission issue. It does not do smooth transition to the second gear. Hope US safety measure would be taken on this manufacturer to guarantee vehicle safety for life time until a permanent recall to auto transmission parts.

Transmission has difficulty shifting when starting from a stop. In between shifts, there is a lag and the engine speed zooms. I barely was able to drive it into the dealer. I had to start very slowly from a light or else it would engage jerking the car. The car is well maintained and a one owner.

Coggin Honda found a faulty SRS unit and replaced for the $527 in 2009. On August 18, 2006 at 120,356 miles the SRS light came on. Took the car in for service at Coggin Honda and they attempted to replace the OPDS unit but the new one was defective. Wasn’t charged for this lack of success. Couldn’t wait around because we were leaving town. The OPDS and seat pad was eventually replaced free of charge by Flow Honda in Winston Salem NC on 08/25/06.

NEVER received letter from Honda Corp that there were transmission problems to have it checked. They extended warranty to 109,000 miles or for 7 years. I only have 84000 miles. If I had received letter, I would have had transmission looked at by 2007.
They should cover the whole bill – $2100.

i have had to replace 4 coil packs so far in a year piece of crap, been almost hit in rear twice.

“Check engine” light diagnosed as “incorrect gear ratio” diagnosed as imminent transmission failure, new transmission required.

Transmission slips hard.

My 2000 honda accord tiransmission has began to slip,i got a diagnostic reading from a mechanic and it said codes p730,p740,&p780.I have had the solenoids cleaned at $200.00 for the repairs and also added lucas transmission slip stop fluid but the problems still occur so i now have to have it replaced for $3000.00.

It is almost like the transmission overheats. The car drives fine until the engine gets very hot then the transmission starts slipping badly. Not a huge problem in Winter but the car is pretty much undriveable in the hot summer.

TRAVELING DOWN ROAD, d4 GEAR LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STARTS BLINKING, AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.THIS HAPPENED DEC 10, WAITING UNTIL WEEK OF DEC 13 TO FIND OUT COST OF REPAIR AND HOW LONG TO CORRECT. I HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA DEALER FOR THEM TO CHECK IT. COMPUTER GAVE OUT CODE, SOMETHING THE GEAR RATIO IN TRANSMISSION WASN’T RIGHT.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS

Transmission has a filter that clogs and cannot be replaced, causing the entire transmission to fail. The entire transmission must be replaced. This is a design defect.

The transmission slips from 1st and 2nd and does not go into third or fourth. I need the vehicle to get to and from school and have not been able to get it fixed since i’m paying for school and in between jobs at the moment. I have not attempted to repair the damage yet. A website online informed me that Honda Accords have a problem with their transmissions doing this exact thing so now I have a vehicle that’s been sitting in my garage for 6 months that is undriveable. This car should have lasted me a lot longer and so far I’m rather disappointed with Honda and their expensive inability to admit their problem and fix it.

My srs light came on on 2003. I had problems with stiff shift and now with transmision

I recently bought the car from carmax I did not know about the class action law suit.Now my question is what about the people that are buying these cars that are out warranty like mine exceeded the years but not the milage there be some type of warning.I am a student and I bought this car because Honda’s are suppose to be reliable car’s and I just bought it less than a year ago. I was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden my car wouldn’t change gears it just stalled.The car behind me had to slam on the brakes or he would of ran into me. If the wasn’t traffic that day there would of been a really bad accident.

Bought this Accord for my 16 year old daughter because is was a safe reliable car to start with. It was impeccably maintained by the dealer. She told me that the car was starting to "jerk" when driving it. I confirmed it was "jerking". I went online and found that Honda has had significant transmission problems with this model and several. Now I’m looking at a significant repair or probably replacement of the transmission. I contacted the dealer and they told me it will require a new transmission without even looking at it.

After replacing just about everything on this car including head gasket now the transmission light (D4) is blinking and engine light came on indicating torque converter. Car doesn’t even have 100,000 miles yet and I was given to me by my 70 year old parents who were the first owners who had EVERYTHING serviced on time. Of course Honda won’t fix it even though they’ve been sued.

WHEEL BEARING FAILURES:REPLACE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING UNDER WARRANTY AROUND 33,000 MILES.REPLACED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AROUND 68,000. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MANUFACTURER PAID NOTHING.FOUND RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING STARTING TO GO BAD. HAD REPLACED AT NO COST IN JULY OF 2003. (ONLY HAD 9,000 MILES ON IT.HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTION DURING REPLACEMENT OF RIGHT FRONT, TECHNICIAN FOUND BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARING TO BE GOING BAD.THAT WILL BE A TOTAL OF FIVE WHEEL BEARING REPLACED BEFORE 100,000 MILES. NEVER HAD A WHEEL BEARING ISSUE ON ANY OTHER CAR!!!

The rear brakes last only between 15,000 and 20,000 miles. I have had to replace the rear brakes twice already and I don’t even have 45,000 miles on it. My 2000 Accord is the six cyl, which weighs more than the four. The service department insisted that this was not considered a problem, but it is typical with this Accord.

The car will not shift out of park without using the safety release. It has been in the auto shop one time in the last year, but they could not find the problem. It would not shift out for approx. 5 days, but then starting working correctly. Approx 8 months later 7/03 it has started doing it again. It is going back to the shop on 7/7/03. First time this happened it was approx 60,000 miles. 2nd time is approx. 70,000 miles.

Shifting at much higher RPM after transmission fluid change using Honda transmission fluid. Problem confirmed by dealer.

On May 14, we were traveling in our 2000 Honda Accord on I-5 between Seattle and Portland. We had just made a rest stop and my wife was driving when I noticed that she was having difficulty with the car\’s speed. I asked her why she was varying the speed, first speeding up to 70 and then down to 60. As she was stepping on the brake, she noted that she was unable to get the car to slow down. She pulled on the emergency brake, and tried some measures for about 15 to 20 seconds but the car was surging at ever greater speeds. I reached over and put the transmission into neutral. The car slowed down with the engine still racing. She guided the car to the shoulder and turned off the motor which stopped the racing of the engine. Repair entailed replacing the throttle body which the repairman said had for an unknown reason stuck in an open position. I have called Honda at a national customer relations number and have talked with local Honda service people in an attempt to alert them to the potential danger of such a mechanical failure. As yet we haven\’t been on the same page, but it has been less than a week since this happened. Honda says it can\’t establish whether or not it was a maintenance issue or a mechanical failure unless they had seen the engine as it was before we had it repaired. I kept the throttle body in case a mechanic cares to look at it. Our Honda has about 95,000 miles on it and has been maintained as recommended in the service manual throughout its life.

my car has a problem starting in cold weather it has happened 5 times in 9 months it has been in the shop 3 times they are calling it a extended crank problem other people are having the same problem with 2002 and 2003 accords but the company says they do not know what is wrong with it

I am writing this letter to file an official SAFETY complaint and request a formal corrective action against Gaudy Honda Service Department of Alhambra California. This complaint involves an incident in which my automobile received improper brake service that caused a complete loss of rear brakes while driving. Although I survived this incident, Gaudy Honda\’s action could have caused death, serious injury, or property loss to me and people around me. Gaudy\’s service customer support department did no investigation, did nothing to correct this incident, and did nothing to guarantee that this incident would not re-occur. Hence, I am writing this letter as a preventative action request for corrective action.Details of my experience are listed below:4-2-07 Did service at Gaudy Honda for 90K mile. Gaudy called me and said they did a full diagnostics and that I needed to do other service including a complete brake replacement job. The total cost of the service charged to me was 2070.69.4-6-07 Picked up the car, everything seemed fine. Then on Friday I noticed the brake light came on. However, it went away. Over the next several days it was coming on and off. I did not pay too much attention to it as I thought it was the hand brake fuse light. Car seemed to be operating normally.4-14-07 In the meantime, I received a call from an independent survey organization agency regarding my experience with Honda. Since nothing seemed wrong at this point I gave them good review only noting that the charges were higher than I would have hoped.4-23-07 It first noticed that the car did not brake properly. I knew there was something serously wrong with the car. I was traveling that day so I asked my girlfriend to give me a ride to the airport and I left the car at her company parking lot at Lockheed Martin Corporation in Sunnyvalle. The parking lot is completely secure because it is a heavily fortified military complex. I proceeded to leave to Dallas, Texas.4-24-07 While I was in Dallas, I received a voicemail from Jim Sellheim the service manager from Gaudy Honda regarding the review that I had done with the independent survey organization. He notified me that he felt that he had received a bad review from Honda corporate and asked if there was anything he could do to make me a satisfied customer. He asked because he said that Honda was going to send me a follow up survey. I was busy so I did not call back imediately.4-25-07 I called Jim Sellheim back and told him that I received his voicemail and informed him at this time that I was seeing this brake light on my car. First thing he said was that it probably was nothing to do with Gaudy Honda because Gaudy Honda didn

head gaskets

Around this time period my transmission was replaced with a new transmission since it was giving me problem . The car was with dealer for 5 business days. It worked for a while and then it had some problems when in transmission shifted hard and some codes were programmed in sept’02.In dec’02 my car had a total break down and it needed to be towed to the dealer for a repair. I do not know if this problem can be fixed

Wrongful death in 2000 Honda Accord EX with 33,222 miles. Seat belt ripped. Right rear Michelin tire blew out causing spin out of the rim, killed my daughter Kathleen Nguyen, Doan, She graduated University of California, the degree of bachelor of arts with a major in sociology given at Irvine March 21, 2003.  Honda Accord had California Certificate of Title in my name : Angel Nguyen, or Kathleen(aka Xuan Tam) Nguyen. Doan, May 16, 2002. (I am Vietnamese apologize for my English; three years I learn English by myself.) Accident killed my daughter Jan 28, 2004. My expert William Nonnamaker take care of my case No. NC 037603 (unlimited) 14 months at trial court. please help and tell me I would like to know , my expert William Nonnamaker had poor health and closed his company June 30, 2006 ,  I don’t understand it. Immediately following Kathleen’s passing – 5 days, America Honda & North America Michelin & California Highway Patrol &  Kruger Towing & Transport America Financial Honda had lien, sold vehicle very quickly on Feb 02, 2004. I checked DMV two times. Lien sold March 10, 2004, James J. Gaffney ID # 015727 & a 5206 civil make date report April 1, 2004, (lien sold dismantled for parts).

The transmission issue is the real concern. I am aware that this is a known issue. When I first bought the car I took it to Proctor Honda for them to check. They said it was fine, this was at 80000 miles. At around 100000 miles I noticed the hard shift. I took it to Proctor and they told me it was a bad solenoid in the torgue convertor. They replaced the solenoid with no change in the shifting.

The SRS light was on. We decided to take the car to the dealer, who charged $95 for diagnosis and notified that OPDS sensor needs to be changed. While the vehicle is under extended Honda Care warranty that specifically lists "computers and electronics: including switches, sensors, and the SRS Control Unit" as parts being covered with no mention of exclusions and exceptions, the dealer denied the repair under warranty. We were quoted $663.65 + tax for the repair and no one cares that in the meantime our airbags, that were never deployed, are not working. We contacted Honda Care directly and soon received the letter in the mail. It says: "Outlined in your service contract, at the bottom of page 4, section 4, part A , it lists air bags, and related parts. To offer clarification to the referenced "related parts", a list of those specific to the air bags or SRS system" are: OPDS (Occupant position detection switch, or sensor), front crash sensor, side crash sensors, etc.. Well, I’m no expert, but I think that Honda Care refused to cover the very same parts, that are listed as covered. And to go a little further, pretty much everything in any vehicle is related to something else, so "related parts" probably include everything. I visited several online forums and found out that it’s a very common malfunction, and believe it or not, some consumers did have it covered under warranty.

Problem not fixed yet.  Not sure of the exact problem but estimate for
my mechanic to replace with rebuilt transmission from local Honda dealer was $2600.

interlock operation of the ignition switch does not function properly making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park

In 2006 the transmission on my Honda Accord went out. I had a rebuilt transmission put into it at a cost of around $2000.00. Now at 215K miles the rebuilt tranny has died. The cost to put another rebuilt tranny in is $2500.00.

I was told the transmission was in imminent danger of failing and that the car could not be driven safely so I agreed to a Honda-rebuilt transmission replacement with a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty. Unfortunately, today, I was told again that the rebuilt transmission was in imminent danger of failing and not safe to drive, so I am again having to have a rebuilt transmission put into the car (however, Honda would not offer me a new warranty–but only the extended one already in place so I can only count on the car for another 15,000 miles). I am disgusted; I was willing to pay more for a Honda because of its fine reputation for good engines that lasted a long time. My car did not even make it to 125,000 miles!

Car won’t go in reverse up a steep hill – no power. Engine revs high, but barely moves. It works fine in all other instances. Car has been maintained regularly.

automatic transmission is shifting late or erratically.

The automatic transmission on my 2000 Honda Accord (purchased new in 2000 and now has 85,000 miles) is beginning to show a problem. While shifting from a standing start to first gear the engine will begin to race somewhat for a few seconds unless I use a very light touch on the gas pedal. Likewise it happens from first gear to second gear. If it did not worsen I probably would live with the problem. However, I can see a decline just in recent weeks. One mechanic claims it could be a serious problem in a year. Another says with more miles it could deteriorate in a few months.   
I checked with a Honda dealer who claimed Honda would not contribute financially to a fix. Instead the dealer would install a  "re-manufactured transmission" for $2416, including tax and no additional fees. That was a reduction from the original estimated cost of $3200. The warranty would be three years. A local transmission shop will rebuild and re-install my transmission for $1800 tax included. I am attempting to determine what the difference is between the two processes as I seriously consider getting the work done by one of these two companies.   
My car has been garaged. Oil changes and miscellaneous maintenance routinely have been done by my son who is a competent amateur mechanic. The only major item was the replacement of the timing belt, and that was done by Honda. 
The private shop told me they are getting an increased number of customers with Honda transmission problems. I heard that a instructor in a mechanic’s class that provides education abd advisories to a large number of independent auto repair companies indicated that Hondas built between 1999 and 2001 more frequently have transmission problems. One of the issues was Honda’s use of a defective glue which now has been replaced. The earlier Honda transmission recall terminated in 2007.

My 2000 honda accord ex is approaching 130,000 miles. the other day the srs light came on and has stayed on ever since. after some research i found that honda had extended the warranty on the opds sensor and belt assembly. i went to a dealership and had them diagnose the problem. they found that it was the controller unit which had failed. i asked how a solid state computer component would fail other than defect and they said they did not know. i believe that a key safety feature such as this on a car should be covered under an extended warranty. especially since they have extended the warranty on related components acknowledging that there are defects in the srs system. *tr

Srs light came on around 80,000 miles. i have been told everything from it was no big deal, your air bags will not work. i just wanted to know that danger, if it could be fixed, and if there was a warranty coverage issue. it didn't seem to be covered by a recall, even though there were hundreds of cases on the web of people with accords all having the same problem. *ak

Srs light came on at around 90,000 miles and has been on every since. it would light up occasionally before (began lighting up at around 70,000 miles) but now it is on all the time. *ak

Srs light came on after 100,000. see honda accords in this year are notorious for these problems. honda dealer is trying to say before i even bring it in that it oculd be 20 diff. things setting this light on. think he will tell me it is not covered if it really is. there are several tsb's on this issue with many disatisfied honda owners.

I own a 2000 honda accord se and the srs indicator illuminated causing me to take into my honda mechanic. he ran a diagnostic and discovered a temporary code 09-03 indicates a malfunction in the drivers seat belt switch. this cost me $75. he scanned the engine computer for stored codes and retrieved the temporary code 09-03 occurred 14 times over 157 key cycles. felt problem was very intermittent and reset should last a while or never return. not more than a few days later, the srs illuminated. called mechanic and he said to bring the car in and we will reset; no charge. this back-and-forth continued for a while until it just became completely inconvenient and had to consider how to fix. options were to: 1) replace the seat belt buckle on an educated guess with no guarantee this will solve the problem. cost: $250. 2) continue the test procedures they have and remove seat and disassembling the seat cover to inspect the seat belt wiring, again with no guarantee. cost: $225. i have not selected either option as i feel it is a honda defect and should be covered by them. *jb

2000 honda accord srs light and sensor unit problems**cc the srs control unit was replaced at 67339 miles, 87909 miles and again at 97762 miles. the first time it failed the consumer only have to pay $100 deductible. the second time the srs light illuminated the dealer told the consumer that he would be responsible for the cost to replace it because the replacement only had a one year warranty. the consumer decide to just let the dealer reset the light and not to have the unit replaced. the light came on a third time. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the dealer told the consumer that it would cost $690.54 to replace the unit. *nm

Srs warning light came on july, 2006. took car to dealer under warranty extension: main components of the occupant position detection system. car returned un-repaired. srs warning light still on. *jb

My srs light has been on since december 31, 2006. it is my understanding from the dealership that my airbags are now disabled and will most likely need to be replaced at a minimum cost of $1,300.00. based on the safety risks and the number of consumer complaints, honda should issue an immediate recall. *jb

2000 honda accord "srs"(safety restraint system) light is on and dealer is requesting 700.00 to fix a "faulty control unit". i have had my car over 6 years and only have 44k miles. *nm

2000 honda accord lx - srs light has been checked and reset (51,770 miles), the mechanic said that there was nothing wrong with system and he didn't know why the light had come on. it came back on again within a month. honda tells me that the front and side passenger air bags will not deploy if this light is on. there is no extended warranty or recall for this make and model vehicle. this is unacceptable that honda will not warranty a safety system involving air bags. *nm

Srs light is on i think there is a problem with honda accords regarding srs light. it keeps coming on. i already took it to a dealer. he had initially replaced opds unit. even after 2-3 months it came back on. now when i take it back, he says there is some other problem. on internet i see a lot of people having the same problem. it is manufacturing defect that honda in not handling properly. *nm

In reference to a 2000 honda accord with nearly 160,000 miles. the srs light came home a few days ago. the srs light indicates a problem with the airbag. the honda dealership will not look into this problem without me paying them nearly $100. from what i have been told and from what i have read, this srs light indicates a problem with an opds sensor and is common in this year model. i am not sure what to do or who to contact. i feel this should be covered and repaired free of charge. i have no control over this sensor and in no way could i have "broken" this or caused the problem. i have searched and searched for recalls on this particular issue, but nothing! please help! *nm

The srs light stays on for my 2000 honda accord. this is the 6th occurrence of this problem. the first instance was in 2002 and today, october 18, 2006, it is on again for the 6th time. when this light stays on the air bags will not deploy should there be an accident. according to new york state law, if a vehicle is equipped with air bags they must be functioning. *nm

While driving my 2000 honda accord ex last week the srs light came on. i called jerry damson honda and was told by the technician that my vin number was not covered by the extended warranty given to some honda owners which had the same problem. i was informed that i would have to pay for a diagnostic. if there is a known problem with the srs light coming on there should not be an exception for certain vin numbers. this is unfair!!!! my brake light also comes on and goes off even after a part was replaced. needless to say this was my first honda and will be my last!!!!*jb

Srs light has come on and there is no apparent problem. i have been told that my airbags will not deploy if this light is on and dealership wants tons of money to fix it. since this is a major safety feature, this should be recalled. i have seen lots of other people with this common problem and i think you really should look into this. *nm

I own a 2000 accord exl v6 and my srs light just came on and i have about 95k miles. *jb

I have a 2000 honda accord with only 50,000 miles and the sensor system in the front passenger seat that detects whether a person is properly seated is defective because my srs warning light constantly stays on during vehicle operation. i am utterly disappointed given its early failure rate since i have been a loyal honda/acura customer for a very long time. i hope there is a recall or extended warranty to cover this problem. it appears many 2000-2001 accords/3.2tl have this problem. *jb

Srs light on instrument panel stays on.. *nm

Srs light staying on after 100k miles. *jb

I have a 2000 honda accord ex, my srs light has been on for several months. i cannot afford to have the repair. then recently, i received an extended warranty from honda saying the srs has had problems and if you had or have a problem with it, they will repair it free of charge. however, it is a 10 yr or 150,000 mi. limit. well, i commute to work and i have over 197,000 miles on my car. i still have the same problem as everyone else, i just have to use my car more. i feel if they know the problem is defective parts and a safety issue, there should be no question that everyone is covered. *nm

My 2000 honda accord lx battery finally died. a new battery was replaced the same day and now the srs light stays on and won't go away. i contacted a local honda dealership and they want to charge me $90 just for diagnostic and the cost of repair. i searched on the internet and realized that is a common problem with many honda and acura car models after any power related issue. *jb

Srs light stays on all the time. did some research found a lot of similar problems. have the light reset once, but the srs light came back on a few days later. searched nhtsa dot website, found, honda recently issued recall on defected airbag sensor. i thought my car is the same problem. took it to the dealer, diagnosesd as airbag control unit need replacement which will cost over $900. decline the fix. but have to pay $90 for checking it out. this light will remind me how bad honda treat it's defect on safety feature. and how ironic it claim in the recent ad that it cares about safety not only inside the car but also outside the car. *jb

Srs light came on 2000 honda accord ex. honda dealer diagnosis was srs control unit and a driver side seat belt buckle. supposedly the $44 buckle was under warranty but the $600 srs control unit is not. why would a functional buckle with inop sensor be under warranty and the srs control unit (srs brains) not be? how can both fail at the same time? something doesn't sound right. *nm

The srs light of my 2000 honda accord dx came on and remain for no reason. i will never buy a honda any more. their quality is getting bad but price stays high. *jb

Since year 2000 i have been bringing my honda accord to honda service center for maintenance and repairs. the srs light had been going off and when i took the car to honda of concord, they just reset the srs light and blamed my cell phone as the possible reason. since then i avoided placing my cell phone on the passenger seat but the srs light would still turn on after couple of weeks. i have inquired from them if it was a defect and they said "no". this has been going on until in 2004 when i took my car to honda of oakland when they decided that it was the opds that was faulty and they changed it (charged me $700.00). after a week that it was changed, the srs light turned on again, and every maintenance service time they just reset the light. 2 weeks ago, honda of oakland told me that they will replace the opds sensor and will refund me of the $700 that i paid last year. am supposed to bring my car on tuesday march 28, 2006 to honda of oakland service center so they can change the opds. they now claim that it is covered by 5 year warranty (last year they said it wasn't covered). i haven't missed any maintenance service for more than 5 years now and on every visit i have complained about this srs light malfunction. what's the best thing i should do? *jb

Srs light is on and won't go off. *nm

Srs light indicator turns on. air bags system/board is malfunctioning. *nm

The srs light turned on by itself and remains on. i have 80k miles on the car. i researched many sites and noticed that this is a very common problem and most of them have not got a satisfactory fix. i contacted the dealer and they mentioned $99 just to diagnose. i then sent a fax to american honda requesting them details of previous occurrence and number of complaints. they declined to provide me the number of official complaints they have received and said they will not help me and i would have to deal it with the dealers. they also mentioned that the complaints in the internet may be bogus. *nm

After placing my cell phone on the passenger seat, i noticed shortly thereafter that the srs warning light was on and would not go off. my honda dealership said they would have to hook it up to the diagnostic computer. i have not taken the car in and i am surprised that this appears to be a common problem. *jb

I have been to the honda dealer/service 4 times to fix a srs malfunction. today i went to the spirit honda service department because srs light was on. the assistant service advisor claimed the technician could find no hard problems,"which would result in the srs light turning on. he originally blamed me, but when questioned he retracted. then, charged $43 dollars for a problem, which he could not figure out. honda accord is under warranty for 5 more months. the cost for repair at that time will be overwhelming. as the srs problem has been a recurring . the consistent failure of the srs on 2000 honda accord coupe is a problem that should be investigated. the monetary loss, which i have incurred maybe due to a problem caused by the manufacturer. when i did a search on srs problems for honda accords i found i am not alone. there seems to be a significant portion of consumers who have an srs problem. it should be investigated by honda. *ak

My 2000 honda accord ex v6 battery finally died on 01/30/2006. a new battery was replaced the same day and now the srs light stays on and won't go away. i contacted a local honda dealership and they want to charge me $90 just for diagnostic and the cost of repair. i searched on the internet and realized that is a common problem with many honda and acura car models after any power related issue. as proclaimed reliable car company, i wanted to know why honda won't admit they have a problem and voluntarily have dealership fix it free of charge for the customers. i will be one of the customer gives serious thought on any future honda purchases. *jb

I own a 2000 honda accord ex. my srs light came on at approximately 80,000 miles. my warranty expired at 75,000 miles. according to the honda dealership, they have tried to re-set the unit but it will have to be replaced. i have spoken to another honda accord owner at the dealership who states the same thing has happen to him but he had the unit replaced. according to your website, i see that this problem is happening to a lot of honda owners. *jb

The srs light on my car has suddenly appeared and will not turn off. the dealer explained that it was probably a bad opds sensor because they have been receiving several complaints about it. i chose not to opt for the $600 repair. perhaps also related is the fact that my side air bag indicator turns on frequently whenever a passenger shifts his weight to one side of the seat--it goes away once he moves back to the center of the front seat. it is a however a nuisance and is not what i expect from honda. *nm

I have a srs light that continues to come on in my 2000 honda accord ex v6. i see that this is a common problem and honda is not doing anything about it except charge people ridiculous prices to fix something that is a safety concern. one of the reasons i purchased the car was because it was suppose to be one of the safest, boy was i wrong. i travel over 500 miles a week and my family depends on me to come home everyday. god forbid i have an accident and the airbags don't deploy. please look into this issue because the web is flooded with complaints and concerns. *jb

The srs light is lit on the dashboard of my 2000 honda accord ex. i took the car to my local dealer where they told me it would be $84 for a diagnostic of the problem. the dealer then called to tell me that the opds sensor is not working and it would need to be replaced. while the car was at the dealer, i got on the internet and researched the srs light on accords. i found out there is a service bulletin, dated april 23, 2004, issued by honda for all 2000 2-door accords (as well as many other models) declaring the srs indicator comes on with srs dtc 15-1, 15-2, 15-3 , and probable cause is a faulty occupant position detection system (opds) unit. with that said, both the dealer and american honda motor co., are aware of the service bulletin, and the faulty parts they sold in their automobiles and neither are willing to replace the opds sensor. *nm

I purchased a honda accord coupe in july 2000. exactly 2 years to the day that i received the car, i brought it to the dealer because the srs light on the dashboard came on while i was driving and stayed on. the dealer cleared a diagnostic code. 10 days later i brought it back for the same problem and they replaced the opds unit. everything was ok for 2 years. in november 2004 i brought it to the dealer for the same problem. the dealer checked the codes and found none. in august 2005 again back to the dealer for the same problem.. they replaced the passenger's seat belt buckle, with in 2 days the srs light came back on. it has been off and on since (as of 10/28/05) *jb

I have 2000 honda accord lx (auto) and i have a problem with my air bag system. my srs light turned on, however i can't recall when it started but it is safe to say that it's started a couple years back. but any ways, i have had my srs system looked at and reset several times and the srs light just keeps coming back on. i believe there is defect with the srs system because several of my friend and colleagues at work have had the same problem. can the nhtsa please look into this problem. thank you. *jb

Srs warning light on 2000 honda accord ex v6 keeps on activating. i have sent my car to a local auto repair shop to have the car diagnosed on august 30, 2005. the mechanic, who is a master diagnostic technician and manager of the repair shop informed me he did not detect anything wrong, but a false alarm. he reset the srs system. again, the srs warning light came back on 2 days later and brought back my car to have the srs warning light reset on september 2, 2005. i found an article on the web indicating the honda accord having problems with the srs warning light. http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/08/17/140535.html. *jb

Illuminated srs light. honda replaced sensor in july 2002; however had several instances where srs light is illuminated since sensor replacement. the local dealership would reset system; however charged fee to test system. the local dealership also mentioned to not put anything in passenger seat to avoid light from coming on. passenger seat is rarely occupied. since extended warranty has expired, srs light is illuminated once again. *nm

Dt: after changing the battery the srs light illuminated about a year and a half ago. the consumer went to a dealer, and the dealer reset the system for the srs air bags. this corrected the problem for the time being. afterwards, the light illuminated again. the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, and the dealer noted this was an electronic interference or an issue with occupancy for the srs. the consumer paid for the reset both on incidents. now, the dealer said the opds occupant position detection sensor would need to be replaced. the consumer has not replaced this because he felt honda should be responsible. no other repairs or corrections at this time. the dealer also indicated it would be senseless to reset the srs since the repair have not been performed. *ak

In sept. 2003 the srs warning light came on. after contacting the dealer who said the unit "fails test" we were informed this might involve replacement parts which would not be under warranty. since this was a 2000 honda accord ex with only 49000 miles i felt this was an unwarranted repair. american honda agreed to cover the repair. the srs control unit was replaced on 10/3/03. on 10/8/03 we brought the car back to the dealer because the srs light had come back on. this time the dealer said we needed a new seat buckle. this was replaced on 10/22/03. in (approximately) july 2005 the srs light came on again. we contacted our auto repair shop and were told we would probably have to replace the unit again. this does not seem normal to have such a part fail so often. also, the side airbag light would often come on, if a purse or bag was on our side next to the door. to date we have not brought the car in to be repaired again but are concerned that we don't know if the airbags will deploy in an accident.*jb

I bought my 2000 honda accord brand new, off the lot. two months after purchasing it, my srs light went on. i called the salesperson who assured me that it was just a dashboard defect in that make and model -- nothing to worry about. at least once each year since, i've had to pay over $100 because the light came on again and the problem had to be re-diagnosed before the light was shut off. i've grown so used to having the light on and it just being a dashboard nuisance, i've come to ignore it. that was until this morning, when a honda service person informed me that when it is on -- simple defect or not -- the airbags will not release during an accident. what if, based on the information -- or lack of information i've been given in the last five years -- i had an accident and no air bags deployed? how many other people are in this situation? a lot from the looks of the complaints filed on this site, along with complaints on the srs issue posted on the internet overall. if it was simply a dashboard malfunction -- as it has been positioned to me in the past -- that would be one thing. but, when i called honda's 800 number to confirm what the service rep told me and learned that he is correct -- the airbags will not deploy if that light is on...it is not just a simple dashboard issue...i want to make sure others know. *jb

Seat belt light and sra light come on intermitently

Srs light comes on after several resets. dealer on one occasion replaced a seat belt part but the light eventually came back on. the light comes on after resets at random times. once i went over a speed bump slowly and it just came on.

Purchased new 2000 accord ex v-6, 4 dr-replaced transmission at 10,000 miles, then again around 55,000 miles. now on third transmission and wondering how long this one will last. also, now the srs light is on and they say the seat belt has to replaced, as well as now the alternator and tensioner are being repalced ($600 job!). based on some other complaints, it seems the two are related, as well as the alternator problems being a result of the transmission problems.

Took 2000 honda accord exl to dealer for maintenance. upon leaving the dealership the srs airbag light came on. i took it back and they told me i needed a new module/"airbag brain" and that without it my airbags may not deploy. i told them that light had never come on before until after they worked on my car, they told me that was a coincidence and that they were no where near that part of the vehicle. they did a diagnostic free of charge and told me the error code. they quoted me $600 to replace the module. i went to a different dealer for a 2nd opinion not trusting the 1st place and they turned off the srs light model # 77960-584-a93057. i tried to purchase the part used, but no one sold it. i called around and the most affordable place i could find quoted me $390. i took it in and had it replaced and the light has not come on since. the incident occured in 9/10/03. i was looking up recalls and found that many other owners have had the same problem i had. i also have a problem with the backseat seatbelt not working and the recalls on the seatbelt are for the civic and not the accord. now i am making an appointment for the ignition switch. i also have a problem everytime i start the car the gas pedal sticks and you have to "gun it" to make it go forward.

Srs light (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module): this light is on all of the time. i have gotten estimates of $75 to $110 just to analyze the problem. a search on the internet showed that hundreds of consumers are having to pay for the analysis of this light being on. this seems to me to be a major rip-off of consumers for a known, defective system!*ak

My honda accord 2000, v6 always had a problem with the passenger side airbag and the lights used to always come on and off. i went to the dealer and complained and got nowhere where it was still under warranty. no the after the warranty is out the light is turned red. i understand that honda has recalled some of the airbags but when i gave the car dealer my vin number i was told that the recall was for cars manufactured after my car. *jb

The red srs light came on and stayed on for a period of two weeks. during this time, the car went to the dealership for diagnostic. they could not find any problems and cited that perhaps electronic equipment near the driver seat was causing interference of some kind. that doesn't make sense, as i have a 2000 (honda accord cpe ex v6) and have always had a cell phone and not had problems till now. the dealership reset the light and it has not come up since. but i have read that this problem has happened with other cars. i feel a recall should be done. this is an issue that can be potentially serious during an accident if the airbags were not to deploy. the dealership said that it could mean anything from the front or side airbags. i don't think that they should take that risk.*ak

Srs light has failed once, no airbags. dealer "pulled code 15-3" and charged $78.00 for the diagnoses. dealer said the opds unit failed and would require replacement at cost of about $450 us. dealer said honda care extended warranty did not cover this issue. once "pulled," unit failed about 10 days later. spoke to dealer again, said again that unit needed to be replaced. since been driving with srs light on with no air bag protection. dealer blamed the problem on cell phones and/or computer being placed on seat, although i explained to dealer that i do not place phones on any seat, and i don't use/travel with a computer in the car. the dealer representative was clearly dumb founded and attempted to find some other cause. *la

The srs light will not go out. the first time this happened was while we were on vacation and a dealer in fl checked it and reset w/out charge. tech said it may have been caused by placing cell phone on passenger seat. if it came on again, it may have been caused by a defective sensor. i have refrained from having the cell phone on the seat since then (may 03). this past sunday the srs light came back on and will not go out. my dealer's service department stated that since the car has 44,000 miles and was out of warrenty, it would cost $70 to run diagnostics. he did not know for sure, but the cause may be a defective sensor. my concern is that when the srs light is on it means that the air bags are disabled. this is a safety feature and one that is necessary. i checked the edmunds web site and noted there were quite a few complaints about the srs light.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact stated that the srs warning indicator light illuminated while basket was in the passenger seat. he restarted the vehicle, but the light remained illuminated. the vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer. the current and failure mileages were 120,000. updated 09/18/07 *tr

The srs light remains on in my 2000 accord. according to the honda dealer this means the passenger airbag will not deploy in a collision due to a faulty sensor. the car has only 33600 miles. it appears that this is a wide spread problem that should result in a recall campaign. *ak

The sub-frame on passenger's side of car has significant rust through, presumably due to a poorly placed air conditioner condensate drain, which drips water on the affected component. this is a serious design flaw. the top part of the components is mostly eaten away by rust. the part has not broken, yet, but it eventually will. the driver's side of the same component is unaffected. the remainder of the car is in good shape for its age.

Seat welding like other people have listed did not hold up. i was driving on the highway when i heard a noise and my seat fell back. i almost crashed when i was able to grab the top handle near the drivers side window and pull myself back up in order to maintain control of my vehicle. clearly this is not an issue that is a freak accident. the parts clearly have not been welded properly and it is amazing that no one has been hurt by this. honda should offer to fix every one of these seats. the fact that a drivers seat weld could fail in the mist of just sitting and driving your car is scary.

The "srs" light is on in the dashboard. it has been determined that the passenger seat belt latch is faulty. it is dangerous to ride a passenger in this vehicle for fear that the seat belt would not work properly if the vehicle was in an accident or just hit by another driver. please advise on the repair procedures. the pixels on the mileage and miles driven is not working properly. the mileage and miles drives numbers cannot be read.

Srs indicator light came on and stayed on. took vehicle in to honda dealership and they said "scanner test found no communication with air bag module."

See nhtsa campaign #05v025000 (electrical system: ignition: switch) car is experiencing the exact issue listed in the campaign that involves 2000 accords, but honda has said that my vin is not covered.

My security system. sometimes the alarm will go off for no reason. sometimes the car locks itself, and often i attempt to start the car, nothing happens. usally after 3-4 hours i can start the car. this happens when the car is parked and has not bee driven that day. my alarm will go off sometimes when i am driving in the city. these problems have been on going since 2012. when i purchased the honda the paint job was perfect, within1 month all of the paint on the hood was gone, and now both front fenders are becoming infected

Takata recall i bought this car with no air bag and also suspension is no good

I have pictures "images" from my small camera taken the same day of vehicle fire. the vehicle appeared as well to be missing an "engine cap?" of some sort after having been at an automotive shop for about a day.

The honda accord after being returned to myself, had an entire back portion of the vehicle catch fire. it took about 8 coffee pots full of water to douse the flame with before the fire was extinguished in the car port near the side of my home.

My wife was driving one day doing our typical day to day stuff then the transmission @159000 miles starts not shifting or downshifting or when it shift its very jerky and sometimes we have to rev over 5000 rpms to get it to shift and d4 light starts flashing on the city streets we got it home i check fluids they were good added lil extra tranny fluid to be safe because it was below the first dot on dipstick then we drove fine for a day then today we went to an appt we had got there ok then on way back to the house the car starts not upshifting or down shifting no matter how you accelerate coming from dead stop at traffic light it revs up to 5000 rpms then jerks into gear and it went boom 1 boom 2 boom 3 and then the car starts rolling thru the traffic light and only at not only 5 mph then hits 4th gear then it goes safe road speed i have reviewed several online websites like this one http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2000/transmission/ and honda is not replacing them or fixing without charging close to 3k in repairs this car is not worth that money and then we have to replace the tranny for only having it maybe a month i do not feel safe in this car or want my family riding in it because if that tranny fails in middle of street then we are going to get sandwiched or cause a big mess and we don't want that to happen. being a military mechanic over revving the engine to get the vehicle to shift is not good you can blow you engine honda has not put any recalls out on this particular transmission

Structural design flaw rapidly corrodes front subframe. vehicle failed state inspection after significant corrosion of passenger-side front subframe compromised structural integrity. localized corrosion occurring suddenly during hot summer months almost certainly related to faulty placement of air conditioning drain hose. mechanic recommended replacement of entire subframe, repair cost quoted at $1,700. vehicle deemed unsafe to drive pending this necessary structural repair. current vehicle mileage is 123,000.

My 2000 honda accord v6 3.0 vtec engine is having some issues after it heats up when i start it would do some erratic rpm changes on idle and then stall. if i manage to get it moving despite rpm drops, it runs great and would not stall again. also, if i leave it for a while (like 15 minutes) and then come back, it usually starts like nothing happened i believe this is a defect with pcm and fuel pressure regulator the issue has to do with ethanol having a lower boiling point than traditional gas. this causes it to vaporize on the fuel rail when the car’s warm, but no long pumping gas because it’s off. when you go to re-start the car, instead of liquid gas, you are spurting on fumes on the rail. i have not had this fixed on my car yet i’ve been doing some research and found several articles online and refers to this particular problem i’ve had my car service with a tune-up oil change and a fuel induction service i’ve also replaced the alternator and the throttle positioning sensor it is still giving me issues i would like to see if there is validity to my claim.

Honda has not provided resolution to an airbag recall. it has been over 60 days since i spoke with a honda representative. i have the option of either driving my 2000 honda accord with the potential for an exploding airbag or disabling the airbag- neither are good options. in speaking to a honda representative (case # 10346220) they told me the chances were very slim that the airbag would cause harm- however, they refused to provide me with any information regarding the chances of the airbag causing harm. the representative told me she could not send me that information but i could look it up myself online. honda should provide me with alternative transportation until an airbag replacement is available. they have refused to do this. at this point i am not allowing my children to drive this vehicle and i have disabled the airbag through removing the fuse. honda should either offer to purchase this vehicle, provide an alternative vehicle, or provide some other form of compensation while this serious issue is outstanding. *tr

I have been familiar with this car and many other similar honda’s of this year and every single one including the lower mile ones have needed a transmission rebuild or replacement. the j30 transmission is inept to do its job and the strain on it from the v6 vtec renders it useless quickly. much like the honda odyssey if similar years this transmission is no good and needs a recall. this car was moving on the highway on its way back from the city when it went out, straight line. *tr

On january 23,2020, coggin honda started sending me text messages saying i had and open recall schedule free repair now. i called the dealership and they scheduled me an appointment. on february 20,2020 i took my car to the dealership to get the recall repair. they sent me home in an uber and told me it would take about an hour and a half and said, they would call me when it was ready. about 3pm i called them and asked is my car ready yet and i was then informed this is a new recall and the parts wouldn't be in til around mid march. american honda sent me an important safety recall letter in march. in there letter they also said, if american honda or the dealership has failed or is unable to remedy the defect in my vehicle, without charge and within a reasonable period of time to contact you.

Had driver seat belt buckle replaced 6/11/20 as srs light came on. unaware there had been a recall, work not done at honda dealer, paid out of pocket. code 9-3. exact same problem occurred again in early june 2018 where srs light came on. went to honda to purchase part, learned several days later there was an active recall for the driver seat belt buckle issue. honda dealer did not advise active recall for issue at time part was purchased. purchased part, learned of recall, honda dealer repaired at no charge to me. eighteen months later, exact same problem and code. no open recall at this time. clearly there is an issue with the seat belt buckle/sensor failing so the airbags will not deploy. i am not going to pay again to have this issue resolved. received safety recall notice from honda and i am on a waiting list to get the airbag issue resolved as there is an open recall for the airbags but the seat belt problem is ongoing. vehicle was stationary. started car, srs light was illuminated, had code read and learned it was the driver's seat belt buckle that has gone bad again.

The struts on both front and back went bad about 7 years ago. i was driving down the street with my boyfriend at the time, who is a mechanic and heard some thumping and other noises. he looked in under my honda and told me that my struts on both the front and back are bad and need replacing. it’s gotten a lot worse, floating over bumps, having a difficult time keeping it under control while turning around any type of corner and if i happen to not see any kind of bump or whole in the road, it sounds as if my car is going to fall apart. i have taken exceptional care of my accord, but can’t afford to pay for all new struts!!

For 20 years honda has known about substandard/defective parts comprising the air bag system in their vehicles. to date, they have no replacement parts to correct the defects. my honda coupe is 20 years old. how much longer must i wait until this hazardous air bag system is repaired? in 2014, my vehicle was hit from the rear while stopped by another vehicle going 33 mph and my air bags never deployed. i sustained injuries from this accident.

The vehicle handling is poor when making sudden turns (avoidance maneuvers). when i spoke to my local dealer, the honda representative indicated there is no safety recall and everything metal rusts in this area (southeast wisconsin). he gave me a number for some honda care center, but after navigating through the automated phone system i found out the center was not open at the time i called...frustrating. upon examining the underside of the vehicle it is apparent the frame (engine cradle or sub frame) where the stabilizer bar mounts to the frame on the passenger side is totally rusted through, allowing the stabilizer bar to move a great amount only to be held up by the sway bar link pin on the passenger side. my concern is that if the sway bar link pin termination comes loose or breaks, the sway bar will drop and drag on the pavement, possibly catapulting the car.

Srs light came on while stationary at home parked. i went to honda dealership and was told it has a 7-3 code for “internal failure”. they advised me to pay $1056 to replace computer. they said this only comes on when vehicle has been in an accident and airbags deployed. my car has never been in accident. i feel this is a manufacturing defect as well as a safety issue and should be covered. they told me my airbags may or may not deploy. two years ago my srs light had cam on and they said it was for seat belts and they covered it. why would this not be covered as well. this is a very common problem for other people when i searched on google people have this same problem.

The srs sign is on since i bought it from another person, there was a honda accord rep few days back, and he said that the airbags are fine and are in working condition but still, since its related to safety, i dont know....if its really fine and are in a working condition..

My car passenger side subframe is rusted out. i just replaced tires and now the car is unable to drive due to safety concern. i found out this when my car was vibrate a lot during on the road. when i come home, i jacked up the car and inspected the wheel and front chassis. i saw the rust is very bad, it can be seen in the pictures i submit below. the subframe basically separated, it will cause another thousand of dollars to replace the frame. mechanics toll me that the subframe should not be rust like that. it is the basic integrity of the car safety for any car, it should last a life time of the car as long as you own it. i am hope that honda should recall this rust issue. it is hard enough to owned an old car and try to keep it on the road.

I bought a honda accord from my nieghboor for 900 dollars and when i took it in for an oil change the did a inspection and found out that the passenger side subframe is totally rotted out but on the drivers side is still intact the car was unsafe to drive and replacement costs over 1,200 dollars to replace the car has over 228,000 miles on it but the mechanic said that its hanging on by a tread and overtime the suspension could collapse leading to a crash

Passenger side rear subframe rusted and broke off i heard a clunking sound when i was going down the street on the way to work i turned the corner and heard a loud clunk sound and got under my car and looked and the passenger side rear subframe is broke off

The passenger side subframe is badly compromised by rust (some holes). parts of the suspension and steering can be compromised is it fails while driving. the driver side is not badly rusted. honda has relocated the air conditioning drip tube in later years which might be the cause of the problem

Takata recall: daughter sustained a medical emergency while stopped at a light wherein she lost consciousness, hitting the car in front of her -- presumably not at a high speed. driver's airbag did not go off but passenger airbag did, despite no one, and nothing, being in the seat. vin is not on recall list (which mysteriously only goes back to mid-2001). called honda multiple times and they will not inspect car, and do not care to investigate issue because the vin is not currently on the recall list. is the driver side airbag faulty (should it have gone off), or was the passenger side faulty (should it not have gone off-- i was told the latter at the body shop)? the car is not worth fixing given the fact that one airbag replacement alone costs approx a couple thousand dollars.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. while driving at unknown speeds, the srs indicator illuminated. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

Right side sub-frame, rear beam, k frame is completely rusted through from a/c drain line installed to drain directly onto the subframe. this causes the steering to flex substantially and according to my mechanic could cause the car steering to fail catastrophically or could allow the motor and transmission to fall out of the car. anti-sway bar is completely broken away from the frame. found by mechanic checking my car to determine what was wrong with the steering and cornering.

Warring light for the airbag remains on, at all times.

Srs panel light is on.

The interlock operation of the ignition switch does not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.

Takata recall - i was contacted last fall by honda motor corp advising me that my 2000 honda accord was part of the takata inflator recall. i contacted my local honda dealer to make necessary repairs and was told by them that my honda was not included in the recall. i did nothing more at that time but am becoming more concerned as i learn of the expanded recalls being announced. it is my understanding that my 2000 accord is virtually the same vehicle as the 2001 and 2002 model years. what is different about the 2000 accord from the 2001 and other model years that would exclude my model year from the recall? and, why would honda motors notify me that my vehicle was included in the recall then later be told by the dealer that it is not? i have not been able to get an answer to either of these questions from my local honda dealer and have been unsuccessful in contacting honda motors for a response. please help. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Headlamps are not bright enough at night... sometimes the car won,t start. i let it sit a while, then it starts. this is usually in the summer. before i turn off the ignition, i turn off all the blowers.

Car failed inspection due to corroded subframe on right hand side front passenger area. seems to be a common problem, and potentially dangerous if component failed.

Recently purchased 2000 honda accord lx and brought it to an independent garage for inspection. upon inspection he found the rear passenger side f the engine sub frame rotted out and unsafe to drive. cause was from the air conditioning drain pipe placement.

While driving around town heard clunk from passenger side front wheel. jacked up car, pulled wheel and found sub frame had rotted through. this is an extremely hazardous condition, as the car could have lost steering control and have been in/caused an accident. this is a 2000 accord and have searched the web and found many other accord vehicles ( 1999-2002) with the same condition. honda needs to step up and take care of their customers and replace the sub frames on the affected accord vehicles.

Passenger side subframe rusted to the point of being dangerous to drive. the issue is claimed to be due to water draining from the air conditioner onto the subframe section where the sway bar mounts. the drivers side is fine without rust. the rust is very bad at this point and has broken through. the rest of the subframe away from this area is fine without rust or surface rust which can be brushed off to expose grey metal in good shape. i was told by the mechanic this is a common problem i.e. rusted subframe under the ac drain hole.

After having the vehicle in "reverse" to get into a stall parking space on the street, it was shifted into "drive". while being in "drive" and tapping on the gas pedal, the vehicle went in "reverse" uncontrollably. the brakes did not respond. in an attempt to avoid reversing into a wall, the vehicle turned and crashed into a parked vehicle. the impact potentially injured a women that was standing behind the impacted vehicle talking with someone.

I am not on the recall list however i called honda as the srs light remains on. after speaking to 4 representatives at honda they informed me that the previous owner responded to a recall in 2006 service bulletin recall 06-009 - code opds which is for faulty airbags and seatbelts. the previous owner had repair done according to honda 3/31/2010 - 10 year warranty. i bought this car at 89000 odometer on 10/11/2012. approx. 6 months ago the srs light came on. i contacted honda with no assistance as they said there is a 10 year warranty on this recall. yesterday i started by getting assistance from emily, briana, nicole and alexis at honda - case no. n012015-05-2002159 and to expect a call from honda. yesterday afternoon james (no id or last name) regional case manager. he informed me that he could not assist me. 1. i am not the original owner. 2. i am not a loyal honda owner as i have not bought another honda. 3. no repairs through honda. 4. the car is over 10 years old. i informed him to check another recall which supercedes the previous recall and dated 3/14/2006. he informed me to have the repair done at my expense at honda and the case is closed. i told him that this was a fault with honda and it is not 10 years since the recall and i fear driving my only car with an enormous problem in case of an accident - seat belts and airbags and an enormous danger to me and my grandchildren. he informed me that this was not his or honda's responsibility. please help me. i need honda to take responsibility.

Side air bag: light comes on and turns off intermittently for no given reason. this has been happening since i bought the car in january 2007. tried to get assistance from buerkle honda who did not make any notes about my request. now tell me i need a new electrical system and that it means the air bags will not work. *tr

At less than 70,000 miles the transmission on my 2000 honda accord ex is failing, even though the car has barley been driven. i started to experience delayed gear engagement, both on up shifts and downshifts as well as transmission fluid leakage which was initially diagnosed as a bad left side axle seal. when the mechanic proceeded to fix the axle seal, he then re diagnosed the problem as bad bearings and a faulty transmission, a very common problem with the 2000 & 2001 accords. since then i have taken the car to several other mechanics and transmission specialists for a second opinion, who have reached the very same conclusion/diagnosis. a vast majority of the transmissions on the 2000 and 2001 accords have failed or are having problems. the scary part is all the transmission shops are familiar with this issue, some of them see an accord or an odyssey (similar problem) once a week! from my personal experience/investigation the common consensus is; the honda transmissions from the late 90's were bulletproof because they were specifically built for the cars from the 90's. however, when honda upgraded the size of their engines and power, honda used the same 90's transmissions, which in the long run could no longer handle the larger engine capacity or the extra power and eventually fail. in 2006 honda was hit with a class-action lawsuit for the faulty transmissions. honda settled the matter out of court by extending the transmission warranty to 93 months or 109,000 miles. however, honda never corrected the problem by redesigning the transmissions or provided a fix. instead, honda simply replaced the old faulty transmissions with new transmissions that still had the same faulty design. now, all the transmission in those cars are failing as well and honda denies any responsibility, claiming the transmissions are out of warranty. *tr

I have had trouble with my honda's seat belt staying locked in. i've also have the srs light on after a battery change. i figured out how to reset it but it comes right back on. i have taken the car into honda and they tell me my car is "not affected" by any recalls...i explained the seat belts are supposed to be covered under a lifetime warranty. they wanted 125.00 diagnostic fee to determine if it was the seat belt and what the code is if it isn't the seat belt i have to pay the diagnostic fee and 800.00.to get the airbags to work for something that is supposed to be covered under a lifetime warranty,.i even tried going back to a different service adviser. reading online i see that many people have the srs failure and some suspect the cause relates to battery and alternator voltage! appears to be a convenient failure to state whatever they want and get the owner to pay! recently, honda has had to recall airbags. maybe it's a blessing that people's airbags have been rendered useless since they blow up and have killed people!! i hope the nhtsa realizes how many peoples airbags haven't even been working! well surprise, my car isn't covered under the latest airbag replacement. i am most dissatisfied with honda they are not standing behind their products and don't seem to care if they lose customers (by death or otherwise). i tried calling there 800 number several times to no avail they were rude and condescending. this was my 3rd honda and my last. the recall even states there is not to be a charge to check this however, they will not without me paying there fee! don't care the nhtsa and honda's own recall notice is irrelevant to them. in light of the latest issues with airbags i think i will write an editorial for the local news or maybe call the local television station to highlight this issue ongoing blatant disregard for their customers. *tr

While driving my 2000 honda accord it made loud banging noise. i took the car into the mechanic to discover that the sub-frame was rusted. after investigating, i come to find out that this is happening to alot of honda accords made in (1999-2002). (http://www.newsnet5.com/news/local-news/investigations/center-for-auto-safety-requesting-recall-of-1-5-million-honda-accords-for-rust-issue-in-sub-frame) further more, honda changed the design location of the drainage hose in 2003, and said it was unrelated to sub-frame rust. nhtsa needs to do something about this before some is killed because of honda failed engineering. the cost to replace the sub-frame is about $1300.00 + incidentals. *tr

Routine maintenance revealed shocking finding: the r/f corner of subframe is rusted through and breaking. dealer advises it should be replaced asap and that the car is dangerous and should not be driven. obviously it makes no sense to spend the $2,500+tax that the dealer proposes, as the car is barely worth that much. this is a design flaw in 1998-2002 hondas as the air conditioner drips right onto this part of the subframe. the incontrovertible evidence is the dozens of other complaints for subframe rust filed here with the nhtsa and elsewhere - all on the passenger side - as well as the fact that honda changed the design on the 2003 models. i don't know why the nhtsa is waiting to force a recall?? what if i hadn't gotten the maintenance for another few months?? what could have potentially happened?? could i have lost control of the car as the bottom partially fell out?? this is a serious injury, if not death, waiting to happen! what are you waiting for!??? as for honda, i will never buy another honda again. they offered minimal goodwill assistance, and, through the dealer, basically said, it's an old car, parts fail. disgusting the callousness and disregard for customer loyalty. this car is supposed to be worth approx $2,500 resale value given its mileage and condition otherwise. now it's a heap of metal. honda, i'll take my hard-earned money to your competitors. *tr

I bought my 2000 honda accord 4cyl. about one month ago from an owner. drove perfect for the first week. then one morning my brake pedal got really soft. after checking all fluids and leaks found out that my brake lines were rusted. i took my vehicle to a small shop to get my brake lines replaced. i then got a call a few days later saying i should go down and check something they noticed on my car. turns out the passenger subframe is rusted and rotted out. everything else underneath the car is clean. the mechanic said it's weird that only the passenger side subframe is rusted. he told me it could break apart anytime. being that it's no longer safe to drive i have to get it replaced now. the cost is going to be about $1200 with labor. when i got home i started doing some research and found that there are thousands of other people who are having the same problem as i do on their honda accords. honda should do a recall on this being it's a structural component to car and safety issue. hopefully honda will recall this subframe problem and reimburse me later. *tr

I backed my 2000 honda accord sedan uphill into my garage, took the key out of the ignition and started to go into my house when i heard a strange noise. when i turned around the honda was rolling downhill towards my neighbors house, it stopped short of hitting my neighbors house by some shrubs and a small tree. no serious damage happened. i still had the key in my hand and when i checked the honda the transmission was in reverse. i tried several times to remove the key in each gear and i was able to remove the key in every position. i took the honda to a local dealer and they said no recall was on my honda for that problem and that i had no recourse except to have it repaired on my own. i always heard safety recalls never expired but i guess i was misinformed. i located an nhtsa recall campaign number: 05v025000 that stated honda accord 1999-2002 ignition key interlock (the key can be taken out of the ignition in any gear and the car could roll and a crash could occur). possibly causing damage or death? *tr

I recently took my car to honda with problems accelerating up a hill and sometime on flat land and they told me i needed a new transmission at a cost of $4300. i asked to speak with a service manager because i only take my car to honda to be serviced and now all of a sunden i need a new transmission. well the service manager told me the transmissions on the 2000 honda accord ex v6 were bad. this prompted me to go online and do research, and there were a whole lot of complaints. these complaints stated a lot of issues i had with my car when i first got it specifically i couldnt get my car to shift out of gear from park. my car broke down on me so much in the earlier years it was ridiculous. so i called honda to no avail since i felt my issues were covered up when i had a warranty with them. they said they couldnt help me im at 116,000 miles and they extended the mileage to 109,000 on their transmissions. i would say that this is bad business for honda. they should have done a recall. they sevice techs should have been more thorough. *tr

Vehicle was being driven on the highway when attempting to go up a hill the car lost power past 3 and 4 gear. would pull car over let it cool of and continue a few more miles down the road for it to do the same thing. car is now parked in my driveway unable to be drove. *tr

While getting new front tires the service tech pointed out the rusted passenger side sub frame and showed me the perfect drivers side. looking up was the air conditioning drain that caused the decay. *tr

A month and a half ago i took my 2000 honda accord for exhaust repair, the mechanic told me that the subframe that hold the car engine motor has completely rusted, i went ahead and to the car to honda motorcar dealer because of defective hood latch switch that made the factory car alarm system to go off non-stop, i living a nightmare. nway the dealer wanted and still want 400 to replace the hood latch switch, the dealer also said the same thing the mechanic had said earlier that the vehicle subframe is rusted and need to be replaced, they need almost 1200 dollars to do so. this a major structural component of the vehicle that can accident and death. i need to drive my car every day for work purposes. how comes there was no recall on this major structural component that holds the vehicle together. *tr

Transmission failed despite the car having the factory recommended service for the transmission being performed at 60k. at the time the car was making a left through an intersection. upon investigating it was found the car was part of a class action due to transmission failure, but i was not eligible since the car was out of the extended warranty period. *tr

My air bag light came on then went off and kept doing that for quite a while. i purchased the car new in connecticut in 2000, but now live in north carolina. i brought the car to honda in myrtle beach, south carolina but the light was not on and they said they could not find out why the air bag light came on. my oil light also comes once in a while then goes off. they checked that too (charged me over $60.00) and sent me on my way. how can i find out what's really going on? *tr

I had a schedule oil change and the technician informed me that my subframe was rusting away. he informed me that it was not safe to drive the car. the subframe should not be in this condition as a result of normal driving condition. i do have photo's of this part. *tr

While bringing the vehicle to a local mechanic for brake work, the staff noticed that the right front subframe had rusted through, was broken, and was likely putting stress on the right front wheel bearing. five days later, i returned the vehicle to the out-of-town user car sales/service business from which it was purchased and they confirmed the problem, tracing it to runoff from condensation over the air conditioning compressor directly on to the corroded area. because of the pre-existing nature of the problem, the used car salesman is willing to pay 50% of the cost, but parts (even with the use of a rust-free used subframe) and labor total cost is $1,200. *tr

I learned when i change my oil. i notice the subframe have fell off and rust out. i call the honda dealer and they sent me to v mail. *tr

I brought my car to a certified auto shop for routine maintenance and during the inspection the mechanic lifted the car and allowed me to take pictures of the rusted sub- frame on the passenger side. it is very clear that the air conditioning unit drains directly into sub-frame causing condensation along with a puddle of water sitting on the frame which caused a rusted hole in the sub-frame. the spout for the air conditioner should be extended to allow the water to go directly onto the ground. due the faulty design several honda owners will need to have their sub frame replace along with the bearing. this is a high safety risk while driving, the rusted frame could fall apart and potentially causing accident. *tr

The ac rubber hose leaks water and drips on the sub frame causing the sub frame to rust out. the rust totally cracked the sub frame, which in turn, caused the suspension to the be loose. from what i have researched online, this has happened to hundred of consumers. my husband has made a video and has taken the steps to warn the consumers of a cars which were engineered so poorly, and could risk the lives of any one driving this model. i wonder who is in charge of safety for vehicles manufactured by honda--the complaints from hundreds of consumers regarding the same issue dated way back 2009, but it seemed that neither honda, nor the government did anything to address the issue. i hope you act, before people get killed due to this safety hazard. i will save this complaint and research honda cars 1999 thru 2002 and when someone dies from this mistake will make sure the world weighs in through social media. *tr

Check engine light kept coming on and wouldn't go off. car was struggling to automatically shift into gear. when it got really hot, car would not start up right away. would take several times of having one foot on brake and one foot on gas to get it to start again.transmission is acting like it is slipping. just bought this used car last year. local honda dealership, don wessel, of springfield, missouri acted like everything was fine with the car when we bought it. took it in there they got the check engine light to go off but then it came back on a few days later. tried to get them to fix it but they wouldn't. took it to another place they, hooked it up to the computer and said that all cylinders were misfiring, and that there was a problem with transmission. trying to find a place to fix the transmission. we think dealership should fix it since we bought it there and they did not think anything was wrong even after we brought it back and told them that check engine light was still on and car is still acting up. *tr

The subframe on the passenger side of the vehicle is rusted out. the rust is below the ac drain hose. the vehicle is unsafe to operate. the dealer gave me an estimate of $1600 for the repair. *tr

Front subframe on 2000 honda accord rusting excessively causing a safety issue. the ac condensation line is designed wrong and honda will not fix. all of us accord owners need your help. the owner i bought this car from first began noticing the rust in 2007. needed to be replaced this year after it completely cracked off. *tr

I went in for a routine oil change and the mechanic found that the subframe was rusted out on the right passenger side. from what he said and what i have been reading, this is quite common. with how serious this is, i don't understand why honda does not recall vehicles for this issue. with the ac leaking right onto this spot and them fixing that defect after 2002, it is clearly their fault. it is potentially dangerous and an overall hassle for something that shouldn't happen, even in a 15 year old car. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact stated that while in park and the key removed from the ignition, the vehicle rolled away and crashed into another vehicle. the failure recurred on multiple occasions. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. the mechanic was unable to determine the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 200,600. the vin was not available.

I noticed that during side wind or going over dips in highway the vehicle would wander and sway making steering quite difficult and so i had midas do a 4 wheel alignment which didn't help. the midas inspector told me that he wasn't able to guarantee the alignment, since he thought it had been wrecked and that the frame was out of kilter. however i researched online, and found that this was a typical design flaw on this year and model, where the a/c liquid discharge was right above the sub-frame and had rusted the rear cross member completely loose from the frame. since i am on social security-disability, i am unable to pay to replace part #50200-584-a00-rr beam. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. the failure recurred on multiple occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and an independent mechanic three times for repairs. the contact stated that the engine oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter were both replaced on all three separate occasions. the failure persisted after each repair was completed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Check engine light is on and has to do with the emission system. mechanic says there is a pin hole in the hose to the gas tank causing this. this is the same issue i had will my 1984 honda accord and it was covered under a recall. has there been or can there be a recall on this 2000 model as well? thanks! *tr

I took my car into the mechanic for two issues: a possible brake fluid leak, and a weak to almost nonfunctional a/c in the summer months. he told me that my front passenger seat subframe was completely rotted out due to rust (the rust was not mentioned whatsoever during the car's inspection only 6 months prior) and would have to be replaced because the car is unsafe to drive. checked online and it seems to be a widely prevalent issue with gen 6 accords (98 - 02). i've lived in a snowy city for the life of the car, but there is no appreciable rust anywhere else on the car. only in this one spot, which is directly under the a/c drain. honda changed the location of the a/c drain in 2003 (with their 7th gen accords), and this problem is not an issue on those cars. honda has said that it is just a coincidence, but they are better off putting out a recall and covering the cost of replacing these front passenger subframes than having to pay for a class action lawsuit once somebody is seriously injured or killed because of a rotting subframe. while i think that my weak a/c may be what caused the acceleration of this subframe rot, it is unacceptable that so many people have had this issue with the subframe and honda has made no attempts to reconcile the issue. ford did a recall on a 12 year old car when they discovered a design flaw. i am consulting lawyers at this time to determine if there is a potential for a class action lawsuit before there is a report of somebody dying due to this. *js

Front passenger side of subframe rotted. driver side is good. inspector said honda will not fix. this is inexcusable. when will nhtsa do something about this. should i call my congress man to get this problem to be known to the mass public. i cant believe that someone hasn't been killed with this blatantly obvious disregard for familes who use these cars, and not know the danger.reminds me of when i contacted the nhsta on my toyota tacoma frame rusting off the truck and having my daughter in the truck praying we could make it home. i ended up selling the truck for half the price of it to only hear a month later that toyota was at least willing to fix the problem. but to late for me and a lot of other owners. *tr

The passenger side seatbelt locks prematurely at low speeds and will not retract properly. we were told by the dealer that seatbelts are not under a lifetime warranty if it is mechanical in nature. the passenger seatbelt also grinds when pulled and the dealer is being difficult to repair. the driver side seatbelt is slow to retract but appears to be working properly. *tr

Heard a noise when breaking, turning, or going over bump. took it to my mechanic & found that the passenger side front suspension sub frame (rear cross member) was completely rusted out. sway bar is no longer attached to the frame. $1600 repair & he can not even find a part as he has seen so many of this same problem in last couple years. this is a very common problem due to ac dripping on the frame in that section. driver side is solid. honda needs to address this issue! *js

Srs indicator on dashboard. car needs this repaired before valid ma inspection sticker can be applied. honda dealer repaired first "srs incident" driver's side seat buckle. honda dealer declared problem fixed. drove car home. 2 days later, srs indicator re-appears on dashboard. took car back to honda dealer. honda dealer now says that car required new opds sensor. approximate repair cost: just under $500. no mention of previous recall regarding this issue for all honda accords 2000-2001. recall was extended to 10 years and 157,000 miles. current mileage under 154,000 miles. called honda corporate offices. both honda dealer and honda corporate unwilling to help. can nhtsa help with getting honda to abide by old recall? i never received a notice. i believe the srs repair from last week resulted in the current srs opds failure. i can see many angry honda accord owners on internet web sites. add me to the list. *tr

To whom it may concern, through this letter, i wish to inform you of my disagreement with the evaluation of the air bags in my 2000 honda accord. i was involved in an accident and the air bags did not deploy to protect me. when i addressed my concern to the dalton agency, i was informed that the service manager, manuel pÁez navarro and the head of mechanics, jorge cardenas only do oil change and filters. they advised if i wanted to know why the air bags did not function correctly, that i should pay a technician $600.00 pesos to connect a scanner to my car to see if there is an error in the system, an error that may have been there from the beginning when the car was assembled. please understand that the factory invoice for my auto specifies that it has air bags at the highest security level. that is why i?ve taken my car to be service regularly at the dalton agency to keep all warranties in place. i placed my trust in the agency, in the honda company and in the global brand and feel that i have been misled about service and quality. i am totally disappointed by the lack of concern from individual lives. the trauma, injury and rehabilitation after the accident has been terrible, least having to deal with you has caused unnecessary frustration and fear. knowing that the air bag situation has been called a simple mistake or accident does not help my dilemma. luckily i am alive today, but a few centimeters could have made a big difference and caused a tragic story. what has happened to me could have happen to anyone else, especially someone having a hard time in life. please consider taking responsibility and do the ?right thing?. i?m attaching pictures and copies of all documents for your review and providing the following information: license plate #: 124-ppu service history: 2001 ? present service agency: honda dalton polanco de mÉxico, d.f.

I fear my vehicle is being denied a recall due to it by honda. my vehicle failed its annual emissions test on aug. 22. the state sent me a notice informing me that my 2000 honda accord was part of a recall class in 2004 that was connected to an emissions problem. i received no alert from honda about such a recall. when i asked honda about it this week, they told me my car was not part of the recall class. and they claimed that they could determine this by my car's vin -- that the vin indicated it was not part of the recall class. so i am asking for your help to determine if my vehicle is part of the recall. based on my review of your "2004 annual summary of emission related recall" (http://www.epa.gov/otaq/cert/recall/420b05022.pdf), it seems like it is part of the class. thank you for your help. *tr

I bought a honda accord with 162,000 miles on it and was told all it needed was brakes and rotors. when i was replacing the brakes and rotor on the front passenger side of the vehicle i inspected all other parts as well and that's when i noticed the big problem. the sub frame was rotted out. i did some research online and found that this is a common problem with this year and that honda recognizes this but fails to do anything about it. the air condition drain is positioned so that it is constantly dripping on to that part of the sub frame. this is a major safety issue and i was advised not to drive the vehicle until i had the part replaced. i researched the price and labor for the part : part: $600+ honda garage. labor: $500+ honda garage. honda needs to take responsibility for this as other honorable companies have. *tr

Hi, don't know where else to report this information. i've called before, let it ring for up to 20 minutes, with no kind of pick up.i was going to buy the mentioned vehicle from ross auto, at 590 28th st se, 49509 . i took the car to rivertown honda in grandville, mi , kenowa sw, 49509 for inspection. ross's claims car has 20,000 actual miles. i brought it back,quite livid with the lies. he told me to give him carfax in my hand, i said i would for the $35 fee. he freaked out,said there's something wrong with me for being upset about their lies.i told him to get the car off the lot.the following sunday,drove to ross', car still there. price raised to $7998.called my attorney general's office >told me to call the my secretary of state.rep gave me phone number claimed 2 b a federal agency.was not.called back my sec state,on hold > than 1/2hr, told "this is federal offence" >call another #. told>..."nothing u can do,car is> than 10 yrs old".i called fbi in grand rapids, mi. told me it's issue 2 take up w. the my sec. of state. see now why ross' laughing all the way 2 bank, as he's unaccountable 2 my neighbor,[xxx] ,district court judge >office about a mile from ross', in city of wyoming court building. told me he has no jurisdiction, doesn't offer legal advice. don't know if car is still on lot. i presume someone bought it & been ripped off royally. at closing time, multiple hispanic men drive many of the cars off the lot for some reason. i find this quite peculiar. this situation is an outrage, & i'm dumbfounded that there is no one who will take the time to stop these low lifes.so what if car is >more than ten years old? doesn't the odometer have a serial number on it that can prove it's much less than ten years old? this is a "total loss vehicle" being sold as something quite different. inexcusable outrageousness. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I was approaching a traffic light at a speed of about 35 mph driving my honda accord 2000 v6 on july 13, 2013 approximately @ 2.00 pm est. i was in the right lane and all of a sudden my car accelerated on its own increasing the speed to approximately 60 mph. shocked by the random acceleration, i applied brakes to stop the vehicle. after stomping on the pedal it was apparent that the brakes did not work . therefore in order to avoid going towards the traffic i decided to drive into the woods on to my right side. the car came to a stop inside a wooded area 45 yards from the edge of the right lane knocking off all the trees on its way. it deployed both airbags in the front. the vehicle is completely damaged ( totaled). there was no injuries to me or any others in this crash. i firmly believe & suspect there was some malfunction in the vehicle's speed control system that resulted in this mishap. it would be a great help if you could assist in contacting honda motor company. *tr

We just got in the car after valet parking returned it to us. after the first brake application at about 20 mph the brakes went to the floor. we found a parking space and called for a tow to our honda dealer. the dealer called later to say that the brake lines had rusted through and could not be driven. this car has been serviced at this dealer since new and had just had the required 150,000 mile inspection with no mention of a problem. in 61 years of automobile ownership, i have never experienced such a problem. i think that this is a safety issue and not a normal wear and tear issue such as a leaky brake cylinder. *tr

On nov 12, 2011 i went to get my car inspected and the would not pass it because the front rear subframe is rotted. the driver side is in perfect condition ....the dealer says it will cost $1600.. i know it's old but it only has 72000 miles on it ....im hearing that allot of people are having this problem ...i am scared to drive it, and i don't want to put my grandchildren in the car....i don't want to sell it because i don't want anyone else to get hurt...honda should have a recall on this issue ... *tr

2000 v6 honda accord died without warning at a stoplight and since then it has become more frequent over shorter and shorter time periods/distances. during the first few several occurrences like this it just died either while stopped or while running but could be re-started by putting car into park gear and re-starting. no warning, no sputtering, no shaking and so on prior to any of the dying. the only indication it has died is the dash panel indicator lights would all be on as though the car was just being started. during re-start the dash panel lights would be lit like they should be just prior to starting. now as of yesterday the pattern has changed to still dies and the dash panel lights come on but when you shift to park and then try to re-start none of the dash panel lights come on and all you hear is the cranking of the engine but not starting. eventually after a few minutes (1-5 minutes) of being off you could then re-start the car and the dash panel lights would light up prior to the re-start like they should. unfortunately toward the end of yesterday that pattern again changed to where the lights would not come on during the attempt to re-start even after 40 minutes. i called honda on 06/18/2013 and spoke to an agent and told her that i believe this is the same issue that honda had a recall for dealing with the ignition switch under recall#:36754 in the usa and also another in canada for the identical issue my accord is demonstrating. honda seems to want to hid behind the idea that if my vin is not in the recall then i am out of luck. this is a life threatening driving condition the car dies while moving without warning. i am sure they are other owners with this same issue (web is full of owners decreeing this issue) that have just had car repaired but never filed report here to bring issue to your organization's attention. *tr

Srs indicator remains on and it looks like it is due to faulty driver's seat belt buckle switch. this is issue recognized by the honda via bulletin but refused to fix it. this issue related to air bag and should be fixed since it is a basic safety issue which should be covered. both honda and dealer dulles honda are refused to address this issue even though this is basic safety issue for the driver or passenger if air bag does not deploy. *tr

Heard some strange noises and took the car to a mechanic. they reported that the rear beam had rusted through on the passenger side and told me it was a design flaw common to that year accord. they noted that the same part on the driver's side was not rusted and attributed the passenger side problem to it's location beneath the drain for the air conditioning condenser. they also indicated that the car was unsafe to drive. *tr

I had given the car for repair due to some noise on the front passenger side wheel. when the mechanic inspected the hub due to ball bearing problem, he removed the knuckle (spindle) and found that the back portion of the cradle was rusted. part # 50200-s84-a00 - rr beam. this has been caused due to water dripping from the air condition unit. it needs replacement as the cradle may not last long. *tr

During a routine maintenance visit at my dealership i was informed that the passenger side subframe of my 2000 honda accord with only 57,000 miles on it was rusted out and not safe to drive. the driver side was fine. i spent over $1,400 to have the car repaired only to see a report on the news that the problem was caused by a badly placed drain off for the air conditioning. i think the cars should be recalled to fix the problem and those who have had the subframe repaired already should be reimbursed. *tr

I was pulling into the parking space after driving the vehicle for 45 mins (approx. 20 miles). when i was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. i was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 mph as i had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space. my leg was also in the break pedal as i made those turns after getting into the private property from il rte 83. i can definitely confirm that my leg was not in gas pedal as my right leg was on the break pedal to make those turns and stop the car in the parking space. it all happened in the matter of few seconds and there was no time to react. the car came to halt only after hitting the building. both air bags deployed as soon as the car hit the building and there was heave smoke inside the car. it was really scary because by looking at the damage the speed at the time of accident looks to be around 50 mph. it was a relatively higher curb in front and the building was just 6 - 8 feet away from the curb, i was also driving into the parking space at less than 10 mph. i am really shocked to see this kind of unintended/sudden acceleration happen with honda accord cars which could prove to be fatal for the driver, passenger and pedestrian alike. *tr

On november 26, 2012 my srs light came on and has stayed on since. this vehicle though it is a 2000 honda accord has only 66,200 original miles will cost about $800-$900 to repair. this is an issue which involves the safety of the driver and any passengers. i am told it could be a possible danger if the airbag does not deploy in any accident. i am not sure of the significance; i get different stories from folks. it is my understanding from some research that this light could possibly come on and stay on after recent transmissions problems. may 9, 2012 just five months after having my transmission fluid replaced i needed to have a rebuilt transmission at a cost of $3757. for several weeks i had discussions with honda customer service department to no avail. i personally will never buy another honda product in my lifetime and intend to discuss this situation with any person considering buying this product. i have been a loyal and faithful car owner with my honda dealer since i purchased the vehicle. i received all scheduled services even though i did not have the recommended mileage. this is my reward, a rotten car from a rotten company. *tr

I first noticed that when the car was idling, it didn't sound exactly right. then about a week later we noticed that when we began to stop, the car jumped. after that when you go to take off from being stopped the car will rev up the rpms and then the motor catches up and jerks into gear. when we called and talked to a mechanic (highly known for transmissions) about it, he told us that they have been having a lot of problems with the 1998-2000 model hondas, after 100,000 miles doing this, that the transmission is going out on it, that we need to have it replaced. i was expecting to have this car for a long, long time, as honda is known for being a very reliable car. *tr

The srs light came on. honda tells us that the component that regulates the airbags (a mini-computer in the dash?) has failed and must be replaced. honda advises that, until replaced, the airbags will not work. based on the internet research i have done, this appears to be a fairly common problem. honda wants to charge $1000 to replace the unit, although it appears that the component is available online for about $325, and requires about an hour of labor to install. this seems to us to be a pretty fundamental safety issue, and this component should be engineered to last well beyond the anticipated lifetime of the vehicle. *tr

My friend and i were driving to go buy some food during heavy traffic and i ended up hitting a pothole i was unable to avoid. after i hit the pothole my car started making a loud grinding sound whenever i turned the wheels. when i got home i checked underneath my car to see what was causing the awful sound and saw a piece of metal heavily rusted and sheared right through. i checked the other side to see if it was also rusted and broken but to my surprise there was barely any rust on it. i went onto the internet and found out that it was the sub-frame of my accord that broke and that i was one of many people this exact situation has happened to. i am extremely relieved that neither my friend or i were injured when this happened, and that it did not cause an accident during heavy traffic. the fact that honda has yet to even address this issue is truly ridiculous and the fact that they have not recalled such a major defect happening to many people is stunning. *tr

I would like to call to your attention abc's investigation into honda accords for dangerous rusted/rotted sub-frames. the center for auto safety in washington d.c. is calling on honda to issue a voluntary recall for one and one-half million 1998 through 2002 honda accords due to rust that is quietly eating away at a major structural component. the center for auto safety's executive director [xxx] said, "there's no question this is a safety concern. what you have are hundreds of thousands of owners driving the roads on a vehicle that may suffer catastrophic frame failure due to corrosion." [xxx] is calling on honda to notify owners to have their vehicles inspected. "sooner or later," said [xxx], "someone is going to be killed, there's going to be a big product liability lawsuit and honda very well may wind up paying more in litigation costs then in doing what they should be doing -- which is do a recall today." records abc news obtained from national highway transportation safety administration detail similar complaints, including sub-frames that were described as "unsafe, failed inspection and in dangerous condition." i believe that this dangerous situation needs to be brought to your attention. honda will just try to wait out the situation and hope that it will go away if it does not get pressure from nhtsa and owners across the nation. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Recently i heard a clunking sound coming from the front of the car. upon inspection the mechanic said that the sub frame on the passenger's side had rusted/rotted out and that the front suspension had come loose from the sub frame. he said that the car was unsafe to drive and that i needed to have it repaired immediately. i called sunnyside honda and spoke with the service manager regarding the problem. i said that i had looked on the internet and this was a honda design defect and that numerous individuals had reported the same problem. i asked if honda was willing to do anything to help with the repair because it was a design defect and that i had been a loyal honda customer for years. the service manager contacted hondas district service manager who replied that honda was not willing to cover any of the $2,000.00 cost of replacing the sub frame. i then followed up with american honda motor co., inc.'s main customer service department in california. i spoke with [xxx] and she put me on hold for a long time. when she returned she said that the district service manager had said honda was not going to do anything to help so the main customer service people were not able to do anything to help. a short time ago my grandson, a student at bowling green state university, purchased a 1998 honda accord for $4000.00. upon recent inspection of that car the sub frame has rusted/rotted out the same as my car and many other honda accords. i believe that honda should be responsible for recalling and repairing these unsafe automobiles before someone is injured or killed as a result of their design defect and that they will continue to be unwilling to do so as long as individuals have no power to make them take responsibility. i am asking that you make it a priority to investigate and issue a recall of all these automobiles with honda's design defect. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Red "srs" light came on in july 2012 and has never gone off since. i have the notice from honda dated spring 2006 about this problem and how they are covering this problem for 10 years or 150,000 miles. i called honda in ca at 800-999-1009 on 8/23/12 and was told that they will not cover the repair because the car is over 10 years from its june 2000 built date. the car had 130100 miles on the day i called. funny thing is that they will cover any seat belt problem for the life of the car regardless of the number of owners but they won't cover the srs airbag system, i called my local honda dealer where i bought the car from and the service manager told me to bring it in now, which i did. they scanned the srs system for a code. came up the occupant position detection system ( opds). i asked if the air bags would still deploy in a crash with the srs light on and he said no. i want to know that the air bags will work and i feel honda should repair this defect for free since it is a life saving safety system. i called honda again after i got home from the dealership to try to speak to someone higher up in management chain and as usual i got nowhere. this is an expensive repair and it's dealer only parts. there seems to be many people with the same problem when i searched "2000 accord srs on" and most of the people with this light on said that they are or did not get it fixed due to the high quoted cost of the repair. these cars are on the road with non-working srs/ airbags systems because honda used substandard parts that did not last as long as they should have and than refuses to properly fix this problem,that's just not right! i wish the nhtsa would order honda to recall and repair these cars regardless of mileage or time at no charge. alot of these older honda accords will end up being purchased used by the younger drivers who can't afford a brand new car. *tr

I spoke with a customer service representative by the name of [xxx] from american honda motor co., inc. on june 12, 2005 about an srs related problem relating to their technical service bulletin 06-009 dated february 5, 2008. i was told that the warranty has already expired because the vehicle is more than 10 years old even if the mileage is less than 124,000 miles. i am the second owner of the vehicle when it was purchased from a private party back in 2004. since these models came without an air conditioning unit, i had one installed the same year (2004) at the closest dealership near our place of residence. because of this service, they should have updated the ownership record for this vehicle to reflect my name as the new owner. when this bulletin came out, honda failed to furnish me a copy of the tsb since i only found out from them on june 25, 2012 that the said vehicle was still registered with the first owner. when the problem about the srs unit occurred which was directly related to the bulletin they released on february 5, 2008 they would not honor the bulletin anymore and even told me that my vehicle was not covered, even if the bulletin specifically states that the vehicles affected included "2000-2001 honda accord 2-dr and 4-dr: all with opds". i went to the dealership last friday, 6/22/2012 without knowing that this tsb ever existed and they were charging me a substantial fee to get it fixed even though it is a factory defect and should be fixed by them without cost to me. my complaint is that they failed to furnish me a copy of the service bulletin and now that this problem has occurred to my vehicle they will not honor that service bulletin. i would have brought my car in to get fixed even without this problem had i received this bulletin on time. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact stated that the paint on the vehicle was deteriorating down to the metal of the vehicle. the contact was concerned that the vehicle would become rusted. the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 160,000.

Abnormal downshifting of gears. hardshifting gears between 1 and 2. reported this issue to honda dealer in year 2006 and they said its all okay and no issues. i experienced the same issue over the years. when i initially reported this issue in 2006 for my accord was covered under honda extended warranted for transmission recall, but the honda dealer refused to acknowledge this issue. in year 2010, another honda dealer diagnosed it as a transmission failure, when the car was out of warranty. i have gone to independent repair shops and they also confirm its a transmission issue due to internal mechanical issue. honda customer service is denying the warranty coverage even though the first instance of report was done while the vehicle was in warranty period. *tr

I had some suspension work(outer tierod ends) and an alignment performed today and was shocked when the technician called me out to the shop so he could show me the condition of the right front subframe member; it is totally corroded yet the left front identical part is fine. this constitutes a serious safety issue given the number and functionality of the associated parts that rely on the integrity of ther subframe to function properly. the fairly obvious causal factor is the routing of the ac drain hose explaining why the left side is fine at this time. in salt states the left side components often suffer corrosion failure before the right side due to road splash from oncoming traffic. in my professional opinion (37 years as a service manager) this is both a design flaw and a serious safety issue; i believt that a recall should be issued. *tr

Front drivers seat came loose, causing the seat to suddenly lean back as my wife was backing out of our garage. it could have been disastrous if our driveway wasn't as long as it is. it took her a while to readjust herself (seat was moving under her) to get her foot back on the brake pedal - when the seat reared back. upon inspection, the mounting bracket that attaches the driver seat assembly on the left front corner has broken where the bracket bends up to mount to the seat assembly. it looks like metal fatigue. it is amazing how thin gauge metal was used for the mounting bracket? we are the original owners of the car ; the car has been very well cared for and has not endured any hard conditions or accidents. this is a major safety issue and could have been even more disastrous has she been involved in an actual accident. it scares me to think of how many 2000 honda accords may be out there with the bracket that has metal fatigue and will not hold up in the event of a collision. i noticed there are a number of similar complaints on the internet (exactly the same thing occurring) and there was a previous investigation done in 2003 ( # pe02072), i believe the investigation should be re-opened asap, especially considering how many older honda accords are still on the road. this failure looks to be a gradual in nature and appears directly related to metal fatigue of a thin gauge metal used on the bracket. the high leverage forces caused by passengers pushing back on their seat back ( e.g., getting in the car, or pulling something from their pockets while sitting) will take a toll on the thin metal bracket; eventually the bracket it will fail and most likely at a time when the integrity of the bracket is needed most (during an accident) for passenger safety. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the driver gear light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the contact had to wait ten to twenty minutes to restart the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised the contact that the transmission shift malfunctioned. the vehicle was also experiencing problems with the ignition where it would not read the key to start the vehicle. the private mechanic stated that it would take ten attempts to start the vehicle so that the ignition could read the key. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 132,346.

After 2 years owning the vehicle when it was driven for about 17k miles front brake pads had worn completely and had been replaced by a mechanic. after replacement when odometer showed 19.5k miles brakes have been overheating extremely and later brake pedal during usage started to exhibit heavy pulsations. car has been taken to the mechanic that replaced pads with honda brand pads and discs have been resurfaced. at 25k miles vehicle pedal pulsations came back, rotors metal turned blue and overheating was bad. i understand that it is a brake design problem and decided to investigate on my own. i have a mechanical engineering master degree. at about 40k miles i made rotor replacement and oiled caliper bolts. also, i investigated how toyota brakes of similar car size never got so hot and found one construction element that different between honda accord 2000 brakes and toyota camry brakes. toyota brakes use v shape return springs on a brake pads and brake pads have holes in them to accept end points of these v springs. i drilled holes in honda brake pads using toyota camry brake pads as a reference. also, bent v shape return springs from piano string 1.2 mm (bought in ace hardware) and installed the same way as on toyota. rotors have been replaced at 40k miles. currently car has 127k miles and same rotors as i put in 2004. i managed to get 35-45k between pads replacements after this modification and overheating of rotors has stopped. whoever interested in fixing this honda brake design problem make sure to oil caliper pins and caliper side contact elements of brake pads during replacement with high temperature graphite grease. this is more important then resurfacing your rotors! use toyota camry brake pads and v springs as reference or just buy v springs designed for camry (brake repair kit). this will solve all overheating and disk wobbling forever. *tr

Ignition key can be removed when the shifter is in non-park position and couple of times when this happened, the vehicle rolled away. this failure symptom was captured in nhtsa 05v-025, but, when asked, honda motor company responded that the nhtsa mandate didn't include this vin number. this suggests there may a reason to expand the vin numbers affected by this mandate. *tr

The first failure was in 2003. while i was driving on the highway my transmission went out completely in traffic. i was able to get off the street before the car completely stopped. the repair was done in 2003 during a national recall. the car started showing signs of slipping in 2009 . i contacted honda about the replacement transmission and they said it was out of warranty. the transmission completely failed in march, 2010. i was traveling at 55 mph when the car started to lose power. this is the second incident with this car where the transmission went out while i was driving this car. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord with an automatic transmission and v6 engine. on 12/13/2008, the transmission was shifting hard and check engine light came on. the transmission has to be rebuilt at the tune of $3200. here has been yearly service done to prevent any other issues. on 12/28/11, the transmission was shifting hard, engine light came on and a p740 code was found. clearly this is a faulty transmission design and a recall should be in order. there are many people that had the same issues from years 1999 to 2001. this issue is a hazard. *tr

The "balance shaft seal pop out" is known issue (defect) since day1, however, american honda motor company was trying to cover it up and my year model (2000) was intentionally not included in the original recall list in order for them to reduce the cost by risking people's life. however, if you google it, 2000 year and even later model are all over the places. honda motor company was betting on its dealer would be supposed to put a retainer on top of the seal when the car is due on its first timing belt replacement. however, it did not happen, the net result is it costs me over $720 to fix it and i was fortunate enough the engine was not blown up (and i had not been killed) on the highway because of the empty engine oil resulted from this sudden sealed being popped out (the oil would be gone seconds after pop out happens). worst yet, after this incident happened, i contacted with american honda motor talked with [xxx] with some japanese last name who had very bad attitude and very unprofessional, simply flattened out and told me i am sorry and we can not help in anyway. i believe it is time to do the right thing and gradually drive this very foreign motor company out of us, they do not care our lives here in us anymore. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*tr

I took this honda accord dx (my2000) to the dealer for 120,000 maintenance in september 2011. they told me the front passenger side subframe rusted very badly. but the driver side subframe was normal with no rust. i thought underbody rust is normal for my car's age and did not pay much attention. but after one month, the front wheels began to make strange noise. i took it to an independent auto repair and they told me the subframe rusted through completely and began to crack. it is a safety hazard to continue to drive. they said it always happened on the passenger side on honda accord because the a/c condensation water drips down on this point. i am taking it to a dealer today to replace it. it will cost me $2000. *tr

I am the original owner and bought my 2000 honda accord brand new from the same dealership that has done 99% of the maintenance on the vehicle, minus a few oil changes. the car has had a "hard" shift at times for approximately a year. i had never thought much about it until the last few weeks when the car started to rev up at low gears and then violently jerking to shift to higher gear. this in addition to also displaying check engine light constantly while green d or drive light is blinking. when this occurs the car will not accelerate when gas pedal is depressed for a few seconds and then will slowly begin to go. i was almost rear ended twice on my way home with my 7 year old son in his booster seat. the car would act like it was going to go and then i had no power, could not even get over to the curb. closest dealership is 30 minutes away via interstate and after reading multiple online complaints and stories of near fatal accidents online i am at a loss as to how to handle this. dealership told me it was okay to drive as long as engine light was steadily on. luckily, i am in walking distance to my job, but i need to make a decision on how to proceed. it appears that honda has known of the defective transmission, but i never received a letter in the mail alerting me to the fact i was facing possible total transmission failure that could have endangered not only myself, but my small son and those drivers around me. i have read that honda will not offer any financial compensation for replacement of the defective transmission. i am going to continue to research the issue, but if this is accurate it is a shame as i have owned two honda's and always bragged about how much i loved driving my honda. not thrilled about owning a vehicle made by a company who is aware of a serious safety hazard and does not do a better job of alerting their loyal customers. *tr

I am able to remove the key from my ignition when my car is in gear. i have checked the nhtsa database and this is a recall issue on 2000 honda accords (nhtsa campaign id number: 05v025000 ). i went to honda and spoke with the corporate customer service and there is nothing they will do for me as my car's vin number is not associated with this recall. i would like to have my car's vin added to the recall list, as it is exhibiting the recall symptoms and needs to be fixed. *tr

The srs light has come on my 2000 accord. now it is past the extended warranty of 10 years. i got suckered into paying $100 to honda for them to diagnose. they came back and said the opds needs to be replaced and the airbag won't deploy because of the srs light on. they wanted another $300 to replace. i decided not to replace because i am not convinced it won't fail again but now i am driving around knowing my airbags won't deploy. there is an obvious faultiness with the srs and opds and i can't believe that honda feel a warranty extension is sufficient. they should be recalling this serious safety problem. *tr

Transmission in 2000 honda accord was diagnosed by two mechanics (independent and honda dealer) as requiring replacement quoted at over $3800. symptoms included: gear shift slippage, d4 indicator light flashing, delayed gear engagement, erratic and harsh shifting resulting in the car lurching forward while in drive, atf leak, erratic acceleration, and the left differential diagnosed with excessive play. car had been well maintained, keeping all fluid levels monitored and in check with routine maintenance. after calling honda america, i was told that "due to age" the "company's position" was that they were unable to provide assistance of any kind despite previous reports of the transmission in 2000 accords as being a known manufacturer's error/faulty production. honda admitted error on the issue but remained firm that they would not support resolution. am left with vehicle in undrivable condition that is unsafe on the road due to erratic transmission behavior. at one point, the vehicle lurched forward uncontrollably, nearly hitting a pedestrian. request nhtsa follow-up and investigation of ongoing transmission issues with these vehicles, encouraging consumer resolution options for honda owners. resolution should not be limited to age of vehicle when safety of consumers and other drivers are at hand. these vehicles should not be allowed on the road with faulty transmissions. had i been aware of the safety issue, i would not have purchased my honda. thank you! *kb

For no apparent reason at all (no moisture problem; no cell phone, computer, etc. use; no disconnecting anything at all, much less related to seat belts, passenger seat occupancy, seat removal, etc.) the srs light came on and has remained on for many months. google shows this to be a widespread problem, which has triggered a very wide range of responses from honda. this has been a wonderful car given timely completion of all scheduled maintenance. but the srs light problem, since it involves the safety restraining systems, should be guaranteed for the life of the car. but, given the various ways people with this issue have been treated, i am reluctant to take the vehicle to honda. it may only require a reset for the light, which should cost nothing. but charges for a diagnosis are in the $70-100 range. then, if there is actually a problem with safety, fixes have cost in a range of $600-1500. the whole situation is absurd.

This is a report of an incident of unintended acceleration of a motor vehicle which is related to an accident which occurred on march 9, 2011. the vehicle involved is a 2000 honda accord se. the driver was reversing out of a parking space when the engine revved up and the car started to move backward very fast. the driver stepped on the brake and tried to put the vehicle in neutral but the vehicle went into drive and lurched forward at a very high rate of speed uncontrollably across the sidewalk, three(3) lanes of traffic, through a lawn where it first struck a brick building, removed a 30-inch landscape boulder, and then struck a second building which stopped it, traveling over 200 feet before coming to a halt in a public alley. all of this happened in only a few seconds and the driver could not stop the vehicle because the brakes did not help. it was a miracle that the driver was not hit or killed going across the highway. it is very important that this incident be investigated

Recently took a 2000 accord se to honda dealer for trade in. the dealership put the car on the hoist for inspection before determining a trade in price. one of the first places that the mechanic looked was at the frame and front suspension on the passenger's side. almost immediately it was found that over half the width of the front cross beam was wasted away, and was in danger of breaking off at any time. both the mechanic and salesman agreed, this was a problem they had seen many times on several different years of this model. the rotting of the beam was apparently caused by condensate dripping from the air conditioner drain, which was located directly above the beam. i was told that because it had been such a problem, the drains had been moved to a different location on the next generation. the estimate to have it repaired was $1300.00. other than that, the car was deemed to be in excellent re-sale condition. *tr

The srs light has turned on so there is something wrong with the air bags. if anyone were to get in an accident deaths will occur as the air bags may not deploy. with a bit of research i have found that this is a common problem with honda accords dating from 1998-2011. http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2000/seat_belts_air_bags/srs_light_is_on.shtml this website provides many owners' accounts of the same exact problem in which honda refuses to solve a problem that they have caused. it is a lethal design flaw and honda should be solving this problem instead of making their customers pay ridiculous prices for it to get fixed just to have the srs light come on moments after the so called repairs. the customers are not responsible, it is honda. please contact honda and resolve this issue. for every moment delayed, the more likely it is for a fatal accident to occur due to this problem.

I started my car and put it in reverse in a parking garage as i was attempting to exit the garage. the car accelerated while i was in reverse, slamming into two parked vehicles. the car then accelerated forward, slamming into a concrete column and coming to a rest. i attempted to slam on my brakes but the car would not stop. it felt like my accelerator was stuck rather than a problem with the brakes.

I was traveling in reverse for approximately 50 yards at a speed of under 5 mph when the vehicle suddenly accelerated. my passenger was able to shift the car into neutral as i stepped on the brake. the car idled at a high rpm for 2-3 seconds after it stopped. i have experienced this situation on 4 or 5 prior occasions over the past several years but this was the first time it happened while backing. the last time i experienced a sudden acceleration was in sept. 2006; a dealer mechanical inspection at that time checked the tcm/pcm for dtc and found no stored codes. *tr

The srs light has gone off approximately once a year for approximately the last 5 years. it has always been caused by a sensor in the seat belt, which is covered by warranty. however, the dealer always tries to charge a diagnosis fee to determine if it is a warranty issue and it is a safety issue every time the light goes off. it is also a huge inconvenience. the dealer has told me that the airbags will not work when the light is on as a safety precaution. each time it happens the seatbelt sensor needs to be replaced. this is a safety concern because the airbags are frequently not working. *ln

I'd drive down the freeway or up a hill to get to a parking structure at school and the car would stall and slip gears where i thought it would roll backwards or people behind me would get annoyed and pass at relatively close and high speeds. i was on my way home from work one night when the transmission completely went out on me roughly 2 blocks away from my house. i barely could make it over 10 mph and had my car sit in the parking lot for 6 months. my brother has put in a new battery and suggested i put new transmission fluid in, but the fluid is full and the car still slips. i knew it was a transmission problem which is more complicated since i know that's a lot more pricey than what i can afford right now, and all i want is for my car to be in working order again since this car should last a lot longer since it's been taken care of. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord lx 4cyl coupe which was given a new transmission at 97k miles because of a recall. it has 140k miles now and the transmission is slipping again. my honda dealership is telling me the only solution is to replace it and that it needs to be done asap. they will not pay for it this time even though this one only has $40k miles on it. they want me to pay $2200. after researching on the internet, this type of transmission problem is widespread on this model accord. *tr

I am the original owner of a 2000 honda accord and have had to replace the transmission for the 4th time. first time @ 60,000 miles, than 80,000 miles, than 140,000 miles. honda sucks... all they tell me now is it's out of warranty. obviously the 2000 accords have major transmission issues. *tr

After driving my 2000 honda v6 coupe for 30 minutes or more, it would have problems starting if shut off for about 20 minutes. it would start and then stall. the only way to get it started is to give it gas and shift into gear quickly which is dangerous. also there was a tsb 00-024 for this and i got it done for close to $710. this really isn't fair as i didn't do anything wrong to have this issue. it is clearly a case of a manufacturing defect. *tr

2000 honda accord ex v6 has transmission problems... when car goes from 1st to 2nd it slips really bad. it is a safety hazard because when i'm behind someone and hit the gas it revs up and nothing happens and then it catches and the tires spin. i almost hit someone today with a child in the car. this needs to be fixed now! *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord. the dashboard lights short out due to a systemic defect in the fuse system, wherein the fuse works itself loose and the bulbs short out. this is supposedly a systemic problem with honda accord models dating back to at least my year, according to honda representatives. they tell me that even though, accords were subjected to recall for this very problem, my vin was "outside the parameters" of the recall. i never received a recall notice for the problem. this is a serious safety defect and creates a dangerous night driving condition. our vehicle has approximately 135,000 miles on it but the shorting out problem has been evident for over two years. in the past, if i tapped on the dashboard, the lights would come back on. no longer. this systemic defect, of which honda is well aware, is dangerous. my wife refuses to drive the vehicle at night and even i feel uncomfortable because i cannot detect the speed, gasoline meter, whether the car is over-heating, etc, all required safety features under probably both federal and california state law. i have attempted to have the problem fixed twice, paid for the repairs, without success. i am asking for you agency to open an investigation into this dangerous safety defect and order honda to recall all accords that may be impacted, which could very well be the entire line since 2000. i find honda's adamant failure to fairly resolve the issue to be shocking. why should a consumer be force to pay over $500.00 for a defect that the manufacturer knows exists and will not correct? updated ivoq 12/17/10 *tr

2000 honda accord whining noise -dealer inspected -said okay to drive.within twenty miles - car stopped moving forward - manually shifted gears - worked temporarily until got car stopped in parking lot - then nothing - towed back to dealer and received diagnosis next day of transmission failure. surprised because dealer had changed transmission at 33,000 under an extended warranty due to known transmission problems. no recall per manufacturer, but offer warranty due to their concern. online reports on www.carcomplaints.com show hundreds of similar problems. this transmission only had 19,000 miles and now needs to be replaced again. this car is owned by an 84 year old woman who has owned it from the beginning. think this warrants a closer look since its pretty dangerous to have a transmission go out without warning while driving down the road. now we have to decide if this car is worth fixing if this is a repetitive defect. *tr

In march of 2008, my 2000 accord se honda's transmission failed and had to be replaced at 122,206 miles; i had to pay for a rebuilt replacement transmission, today i was informed that i will need yet another transmission by honda, that my car is not safe to drive until the repair is completed, and that the three-year or 36,000-mile warranty will only extend as far as the original warranty (that is roughly another 15,000 miles or until march 2012). the current transmission only functioned for less than 21000 miles. i do not understand why there has been no recall for this model's potentially catastrophic failure of a transmission. even though i was not in an accident, i easily could have been as i have to commute 44 miles a day to work. clearly, if the second identical failure happened in so short a time, there is a serious flaw---one with potentially lethal consequences that needs to be investigated. *tr

1. the events leading up to the failure: 133k miles on 2000 honda accord, 4 door, lx 4cyl, 5 spd manual trans. i'm the original owner, purchased in nov of 1999. car has been driven daily 15-30 miles with no problems. regular maintenance has been performed. the car is in excellent condition. 2. the failure, how often it occurs, it's consequences: on 8/3/10, started to drive to work. after 2 miles, i came to a stop light. when the light turned green, i accelerated. when i went to shift from 1st to 2nd gear, the engine over-revved - up to the rev limiter, even though i had taken my foot off the accelerator in order to shift. i coasted with the clutch depressed while the engine "bounced" off the rev limiter for a second. then i shut the engine off. i could not "un-stick" the throttle -which was stuck in wot (wide open throttle) position. 3. what was done to correct the failure; i.e, parts repaired or replaced (and if old part is available)? i tried to lift the throttle off the floor, it was stuck. i removed the floor mat, which made no difference. i then opened the hood. i could see the throttle cables were slack and that the throttle body was stuck. the part of the throttle body which holds the cruise control accelerator cable had broken. when i stepped on the accelerator, the cable (no longer held in place) flopped forward and jammed the throttle open. untangling the jammed throttle body, and securing the cruise control throttle cable to a location where it could not come loose, allowed the throttle body to work again. used throttle bodies are available - $135 +/-. new throttle bodies are available $400 approx. labor is 1-2 hours to replace. very dangerous condition. easy for me to repeat this. i have not repaired this yet. i called the dealership - they wanted to see it. i took it to my mechanic, he verified that the throttle body broke (failed) in a troubling way. *tr

Dear nhtsa: i am writing about my 2000 honda accord coupe which had an accident on may 22nd, 2010. i was driving in dry conditions along i-85 north in jefferson county, georgia when the left rear tire suddenly blew out causing my car to flip and roll over. we do not know what caused the blowout. i lost consciousness briefly and my neck was severely broken. i had to have an operation and will be out of work for at least three months. my son was injured but not as severely as me, with many cuts on his face and ear. two other occupants received many bruises and cuts on arms, legs and faces. the car was a total loss. there are two issues that seem to point to defects in the car. the first is that the roof collapsed so much that it hit my head and almost killed me. the second issue is that none of the four air bags deployed. it seems to me that with so much damage to the car as it rolled over and crushed the roof, that the air bags should have deployed. i would appreciate your investigating this car to see if federal guidelines were violated. *tr

The service manager for concord honda in 2007 recommended that i fix a broken weld on the driver seat frame by having it re-welded to fix the problem. i had asked the service manager to take it to honda of america to have the seat replaced even thought it was past the warranty period because the weld should not have failed within a six year time period. the weld on the seat has broken again and the current service manager said they will not stand behind the repair both because the warranty has passed for a repair, but also he would not repair the seat because the original service manager should not have re-welded the frame as it would not be safe to do so. i called honda of america to talk to them this time and was told that they might have addressed the problem in the 2006/2007 time frame, but that the car was now to old now for them to address the problem. what is bothering me is that they admit the seats will not stay fixed to the frame in an accident. nor do they seem to care about early failure of the welds and them not holding. i have had a car that was 35 years old and the welds were still in place. thank you *tr

Failure of opds unit on my 2000 honda accord 4-door v-6. as an outcome of a joint action lawsuit honda agreed to extend the opds warranty to 10 years from the delivery date of the vehicle or 156,000 miles. my opds unit has failed just 3 months after the 10 year extension. this is the 2nd sds system failure as the seat belt sensor has failed in the past. honda now covers the seat belt failure on the many accord models for lifetime as the failure is common. failure of sds airbag system on honda accords and other honda vehicle models is an on-going chronic problem that renders the entire airbag system inactive upon any component failure. this is a serious safety hazard to owners and due to the high cost to repair the sds system many owners cannot afford to make the sds airbag system operative again. honda must step up to insuring that lifetime warranties on the sds systems are in place for all owners as an sds failure may result in injury or death for the vehicle owners. way too many sds system failures have been documented by honda dealers and owners. who knows just how many "red lights" are actually on the dashboards of honda accords out there that simply don't get fixed due to the high cost of repair? *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord se - 4 cylinder. sometimes when i take my car from park to reverse, i get a thud sound. i didn't think anything about it. at around 120,000 miles, when i put my car in reverse, the car won't move. when i step on the gas to try to get the car to move in reverse, the engine revs, but the car still won't move. i put the car back to park and then put in into reverse and it will be fine. if i am parked on a slanted surface where the front end of my car is sitting lower then the back and i try to put my car into reverse, the car rolls forward, but not reverse. one time i had to put my car into park, then reverse, park then reverse about 20 times to get out of the parking space. because my car is over the warranty period, my local honda dealer won't do anything about it. my husband seems to think that my transmission is slipping and someday i am going to be stuck. we don't have the $2000 to $4000 to have a new transmission put in. i thought hondas were a long lasting car? i bought my car brand new and hoped to get my years out of it before i had to put major money into it. has anyone else had this problem? *tr

I currently own a 2000 honda accord ex v4. while driving my son to school last week friday, the check engine light came on and the d4 light also began to blink. my car immediately lost all power and while pressing on the accelerator the car would not move. with other cars behind me this could have easily caused a huge accident with my son in the car. after taking my car to the repair shop, i was told that my transmission needed to be rebuilt and this could cost up to $3000. i went to another shop for a second opinion and they changed the solenoids. after a week of driving fine, the same incident occurred again while bringing my son to school. currently the car is back in the shop to have the torque converter changed or to possibly have the transmission rebuilt. while searching online, i have noticed that this is an ongoing problem with early 2000 honda accords and all that has been done is an extension on this warranty which does me no good since i am past it. anything done to rectify this problem would be a big help especially considering that it would have been a huge safety issue had i been driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour in moving traffic. *tr

The issue at hand involves a 2000 honda accord (coupe); i am able to turn the car off and remove the key from the ignition without putting the car into park. i am not sure of when this issue began. however, in mid-2008, i mistakenly left the car in drive and removed the key when parking my car in a parking lot, i left the parking lot and my car proceeded to roll backward and struck another vehicle at some point. this happened again this month. after this point, i researched recall information and saw that in 2005, nhtsa issued campaign 05v025000. i took my car into a dealer to have the issue investigated. my vehicle did indeed have the same issue (malfunctioning interlock) as the one in the recall, but my vin was not a part of that recall. it seems odd to me that though my car falls into the date range, make and model of this recall and possesses the same issue described in the recall. i am not convinced that this is a coincidence. i am in danger of losing coverage as a result of this malfunction. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact noticed that the engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument control panel. she took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that there was exhaust gas recirculation and clogging. the manufacturer issued technical service bulletin number 626561 (engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control:gas recirculation valve (egr valve)). the failure exceeded the constraints for the voluntary warranty extension campaign; therefore, the manufacturer would not assist with the repairs. she also noticed that the air bag warning indicator would sporadically illuminate on the instrument control panel, which indicated that the passenger side front air bag was inoperative. on one occasion, a vehicle driving approximately 80 mph crashed into the front passenger side of the contact's vehicle. the front passenger side air bag failed to deploy. the occupant sustained moderate injuries. the manufacturer would not assist. the failure mileage was 1,000 and current mileage was 90,000.

Purchased a 2000 honda accord with about 60,000miles on it. after about 15,000 miles the transmission begins shifting very hard from 1st-2nd. at approx. 130,000 miles the car begins to shake and not shift out of first, with my rpm soaring to over 3500. the mechanic tells me the lower bands are "burnt up" to the tune of 1200$. that is just to have the bands replaced, and with all the problems i am hearing with transmissions going out a 2nd and 3rd time on these year model hondas it is hard to invest 1200 dollars into something that might go out again. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord ex 4cyl 2.3l 2 door. i purchased the vehicle used from duval honda 1290 cassat ave jacksonville florida 32205 (904-899-1900) in april of 2008. the car drove perfectly for about 30 days then the transmission started to slip while i was driving. now the transmission jerks into every gear as it shifts and slips out of gear frequently while i am driving. not knowing if a recall for this problem existed i have been shopping around for transmissions to find they cost between $1400 and $3000 to be replace to include labor. this is unacceptable because all stores are informing me the problem will return soon with this specific transmission. i have done several internet searches to find i am not thee only honda owner with this issue and i am writing to inform you of my concerns with this vehicle also. the car was purchased with 68k miles or so and is now around 80k for miles. this are not normal areas of mileage where a transmission should be failing. i feel this unsafe and chronic problem should be fixed by honda, either by a factory recall (100% paid for by honda) or a total buy back of this vehicle since they have so blatantly and purposely sold defective and unsafe vehicles placing not only myself and my passengers but all drivers on the road in danger. if this problem continues i know that the transmission will cease to work and i may be responsible for causing a traffic accident and hurting someone because of this mechanical defect honda has chosen to ignore. i am hoping this letter will help aide in a push to get honda to rectify this problem. *tr

Transmission not engaging nor shifting into gear properly . whenever i start the engine after sitting overnight, the transmission doesn't pick up speed normally. now whenever i start the car and drive off, the rpms go up fairly quickly, but the car accelerates slowly and lurches forward with a thud. and the check engine light is on and the d4 gear indicator light is blinking green. i only had 119,500 miles when this level of symptom manifested itself... now i'm at 120,000. yesterday (08/25/2008) i called american honda 1-800-999-1009 to complain of the issues i've been experiencing. american honda said that i had to bring my car into a dealership and have them diagnose it. (fyi - i'd already spent over $660 at another reputable shop to have the problem repaired without resolution...but, they did say that given all the work they'd done, it could only be the transmission). ironically, during the call the rep could hear that the car was revving at high rpms but wouldn't shift into d4. fearful of a fire or blown transmission, i had to pull over, turn off the engine, and restart after 5 minutes. the dealership informed me that it would still be a mandatory $89 charge to diagnose something both they and i already know. the voluntary extension of the warranty from 100k to 109k is ridiculous. i suspect that there is a very large contingent of honda owners who have, already had, or will soon have the same problem. like many others here that i've read, we got a honda based on their reputation of their transmissions lasting over 200k+ miles. up until this, i'd been mostly happy with the way it drove (despite the lifelong and moderately annoying tendency for the car to "jump" into gear from dead stops despite gradual application of the gas pedal). i certainly hope that posting here helps result in a class action lawsuit because i really feel like i'm getting taken advantage of. it's me (hopefully us) against the big corporation. *tr

Srs sensor light has been on for about half a year now continuously without apparent reason. dealer previously replaced the opds unit (about 2 years ago) and prior to that reset it a few times, but now the car's warranty has expired and srs light is on again. dealer now wants to charge a $75 inspection fee plus $400-$700 to replace the unit, a unit that mind you was already supposed to have been replaced. worried air bags will not properly deploy in the event of a wreck and also that our car will not pass annual state dot inspection. with the exceedingly high number of issues with this same problem, hopefully honda will have to do a recall to fix these units once and for all. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord ex and the current mileage is about 70000. a few days ago, for no reason, my srs light was on. i called the honda dealer and was told that it means in case of an accident, the air bag won't deploy. the dealer charges $130 just to diagnose the problem and not sure how much ensuing cost will be. i read a lot of on-line complaints about the same problem. it's not an isolated problem and has serious safety impact. honda should put such defect under recall. *tr

The srs indicator of my honda accord 2000se is always on. *tr

Transmission failure. i have a 2000 honda accord that fell into the category of having a faulty transmission by honda's own acknowledgement. instead of offering a recall they offered an extended warranty to 109k. well my car has a 130,000 miles. i am extremely upset that after being told this car should go 200,000 miles by the dealer that instead i have to replace a $3000 transmission. if honda has known about their mistake then why is the consumer paying for it? after reading the other complaints i question whether the new transmission being put in will be even last. please force them to offer a recall. driving 20 mph on the highway once the transmission fails is a serious safety issue. *tr

I continue to get these e-mail updates and my problems with my 2000 honda accord sound so eerily familiar. i had 2 major issues with my honda beginning well before 70,000 miles. i too was meticulous about maintaining my vehicle every 3 month at the dealer. first i experienced a transmission failure. they "replaced" it under the recall...within 3 weeks the "replaced" transmission failed. they "replaced" it again; i then found out that it was "replaced" with a "rebuilt" transmission and not a new one. shortly thereafter, i experience all kinds of "check engine" light codes. it was never ending for 6 months...of course everything was my fault. the dealer insisted that i replaced my own radiator fluid and that my radiator needed to be replaced. trust me, i am not mechanical whatsoever. it was always serviced by the dealer...finally i got california involved and after alot of hubabaloo it was decided that i might not need a radiator after all after an experienced tech came out to "look at the engine and cooling system". long story short, california called me and told me that my radiator needed to be replaced and they were certain that the engine issues would go away. this was all at 70,000 miles. this car was purchased brand new from the very same dealer. i find it ironic that other folks are having the same issues and are being jerked around in the same manner. i am a single mother of an autistic child living in the ne; i could not afford the car failing me on a cold winter day in the middle of no where. i traded it in and purchased another vehicle. i want nothing to do with honda's for the remainder of my lifetime! *tr

My 2000 honda accord se is approaching 107,000 miles. around a week ago (june 1s, 2008) , srs light came on and has stayed on ever since. *tr

Surge on acceleration. from a cold start my car excels normally. if make a stop for a few minutes or a couple of hours get in and it accelerates to about 20-25mph and dies. if i hold the pedal it will accel after a few second, if i pump the pedal a couple of time it will accel. cruising at 65+ i can feel a slight jerking. this all started after getting a check engine light and code po131 to replace the primary o2 sensor. a new sensor was the oem equivalent from autozone. if i disconnect the o2 sensor the problem goes away. car is well maintained and has 228,000 miles. *tr

Hesitation. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord with around 117,000 miles and have had issues of the accelerator sticking for at least a year but never thought too much off it until yesterday when pulling into a parking spot in a parking garage. as i was pulling in my gas pedal stuck and jerked my car forward into a cement wall. i was applying the brakes but the car would not stop. the force of the impact threw my car into neutral from drive, my stereo is now sunken into my dashboard, i hit my head on the roof of my car and my knee went into the dashboard. (the airbag did not deploy which is also a little concerning with how much damage there is to my car) my front bumper is scratched and cracked and it has separated from the front passenger side panel. when i called honda to have them look at it they quoted me at least $200 diagnoses the problem. *tr

"2000 4-door honda lx" - on or about october 2007, its srs readiness indicator light illuminated. during its regular maintenance service, i took the car to honda santa ana, ca and complained about this situation. the srs light was reset only to find out after 3 days that it came back on. on january 2008 and march 2008, the same situation was handled by santa ana honda and after 6-10 days, the light turned on again and again. i was finally informed that the control panel to the srs unit was defective. because the warranty had expired long after this problem persisted, the service advisor indicated that if santa ana honda were to fix the equipment, it would cost me at least $1,600 which was reduced by 30% by its service manager john marker. it was then that i brought up the case to american north honda motor co inc and was handled by wayne at 1(800) 999-1009 ext. 118198. wayne called and informed me that they are participating to this repair by reducing the cost by $300. it didn't make logical sense to me that the consumer is liable for costs involved in fixing a safety-related device that came with the vehicle. the fact that both santa ana honda and north american honda are both contributing to the costs of this repair, tells me that this is a defect of the vehicle. my family's 1999 toyota camry and friends' 2000 toyota corolla never had their srs worn out in the course of time, why would honda have this problem? please assist me contact honda to carry the burden of this costs or extend the warranty. my current mileage is now 120,000. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact stated that the srs (safety restraint system) lights illuminated in her vehicle and would not dim. she took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the passenger side seat belt switch was the cause of the failure. the manufacturer asked her to sign a release, but the contact refused. the parts for the repair were ordered in march of 2008 and when she called again in april 10, 2008, she was informed that the parts were on backorder. most recently, when she went to the dealer to check the status, she was informed that there was no record of the order. the current mileage was approximately 47,800 and failure mileage was 45,834. updated 06/16/08 *bf

The same year, make & model lke my car had been recalled a few years back. this yr 2008 my car had barely reached over 100,000 miles and i started noticing my car making a sound and the car jumping slightly at times when i would accelerate. i did my tune up as soon as possible and chevron mechanics said that my transmission had a leak in between and the motor. they informed me about the recall and to check with the manufacturer to fix the problem. so i did and they gave me a so called extension to 109,000 when i brought it to them at about 108,000 miles. they kept my car for about a week and told me they changed the transmission oil and ran tests on it and found no leaks or anything wrong with the transmission. i thought maybe when they did the transmission oil change it miraculously fixed the problem but a few days later i had the same problems with my car and i have been checking my transmission and motor oil every 3 to 5 days and refilling both cause it seams both are leaking. i feel that the manufacturer didn't put the time or effort to check what was the problem with the transmission cause they would have found that it is in fact leaking oil. i wonder if they even checked my car or didn't want to take the expenses if it indeed fall under the recall. i don't know what to do. please help me and inform me about what i can do to get more information on investigating if it is a recall at all. i strongly feel that i haven't caused my car any damages or neglects that would make me at fault for the problem with my vehicle. i always kept my car up to date with oil changes, tune ups, etc. *tr

Around may 10, 2008 while driving my d3 indicator started flashing on the instrument panel. when i took the car to the dealer they ran some test and said that they found a p0780 shift malfunction and a p0303, p0305, p0306 egr valve codes. both of these codes are problems that honda knows about. i have received warranty extension for both but the egr problem only good for 80,000 miles and the trans warranty is good for 100.000 miles. instead of give out extended warranty they should have paid for these problems to be fixed. the egr problem has coasted me 336.10 and the trans is going to cost 2467.38. i have a 2000 honda accord ex. i think that there should be a recall for both problems. please check into these problems. thank you. *tr

Srs light is on constantly. paid dealer $100 to diagnose problem. i was told that both the left and right seat belt buckles need to be replaced at a cost of $600. i feel that this should be covered by the lifetime seatbelt warranty. *tr

Srs light on dash...heard that it is the opds sensor going out have not repaired yet. *tr

My 2000 honda accord ex is approaching 130,000 miles. the other day the srs light came on and has stayed on ever since. after some research i found that honda had extended the warranty on the opds sensor and belt assembly. i went to a dealership and had them diagnose the problem. they found that it was the controller unit which had failed. i asked how a solid state computer component would fail other than defect and they said they did not know. i believe that a key safety feature such as this on a car should be covered under an extended warranty. especially since they have extended the warranty on related components acknowledging that there are defects in the srs system. *tr

Air bags-srs light: light has been on a few weeks now, found that it is a honda problem. concerned about safety, will air bags deploy in a crash? also, nj will not pass inspection with light illuminated, not safe. main reason for purchase of the honda was the safety reputation. when will a recall/fix be issued? *tr

Srs light turns on intermittently. this lasted for several months but now the light has remained on. *tr

There are 2 recalls on my year, make & model that i am experiencing. however, honda claims my vin is not included in the recall. i find it very odd that i could be experiencing both of the recalls, but my car is excluded. i also have seen several complaints all over the internet about the clearcoat on '98-'02 honda's peeling. honda is not accepting responsibility for the defective clearcoat. *tr

Two years ago my dash lights would just suddenly go out and then come back on, my srs light stayed on as well. when i took it to the dealership they reset my srs light but told me nothing was wrong. last year my dashlight problem got worse and my srs light continues to go on and off constantly. took it back to the dealer and they told me i need a new drivers side multiplex unit and that nothing is wrong with my srs. i have a 2000 2dr v6 ex. i am not covered under this recall because i have a sunroof. *tr

The transmission of the car was a recall but i never received a letter from the american honda. the car only has 93,587 miles and the transmission broke down. when i called the american honda they told me that the car was a recall with the warranty the seven years and 9 months or 109,000 miles. of course when i call the warranty was expired. i explained to them that i never received that letter. they told they did not have record of my address. *tr

Brake light failure on exterior of vehicle. high brake light in rear window will light up, but other brake lights do not light up when brake is depressed. took to honda of seattle. they took electrical wiring apart and put it back together, and it worked temporarily, but they did know why it was fixed. one week later, my brake lights are out again. *tr

I purchased a honda accord as a second owner approximately two years ago and after a couple months of driving started to experience transmission problems. after some investigation, i found this is a normal complication with the 2000 honda accord v6 ex. there is website after website complaining about this problem. i wrote honda to see if they had more information on the type of problems that could happen from this faulty transmission and after reaching the highest level person i could get, he told me he had no information. after asking if there was any thing honda could do, realizing that they have moved there warranty from 30,000 miles to 110,000 miles to cover this problem, he again stated he had no information. the honda representative did not know if this specific problem with the transmission could lead to a hazard or not. i do understand that once you purchase a vehicle that concerns are not typically covered, but this is a well documented safety hazard. due to honda's faulty construction, many transmissions were replaced or need replaced at the owners cost. i was wondering why there has not been a recall due to the safety hazards related to a faulty transmission (hesitation with pressing gas pedal, and decrease of use in 1st and 2nd gear). by extending the warranty, i believe honda recognizes they have a problem but leave many individuals to find their own solutions. i have owned honda's for years and will probably make it my last. i am now, however, stuck with a car that has very possibly safety hazards to me as a driver. even if the transmission is repaired, there are many cases of failure multiple times of different transmissions. as to date, i have not had the transmission replaced and the car continues to get harder to drive. thanks *tr

I bought my honda accord this september. it had a rebuilt title due to minor dents and blemishes to the outside. no major wrecks. looked and seemed in good condition. dealer assured me that all of his cars were insurance claims due to minor exterior wear. he didn't take any cars that had been involved in wrecks. he was an "engineer" and didn't need to screw people over for money. i had my mechanic inspect it right away because it had a 30 day return policy, no questions asked. my regular mechanic said the engine was fine but there were minor things i needed such as; new rotors, new tires, and something to do with the emergency brake. his secretary said these were all optional things to have fixed. 1 month later...the radiator goes bad and must be replaced. my regular mechanic charges me $600.00 dollars for the procedure. i compare prices and find a better price for the same radiator. unfortunately, my regular mechanic still charges me $70.00 for his opinion. i go to the cheaper place, get a new radiator and have my rotors replaced. since about 2 weeks after owning the car i notice that the srs airbag light flashes on and off randomly. a $80.00 diagnostic check was performed and nothing showed up. my mechanic didn't notice it when he drove it. i still don't know if my airbags work! a month after that..transmission goes bad when in reverse. makes a terrible grinding of metal sound and lurches when put in reverse. probably needs a new transmission which i have no way to pay for. luckily, it is only a problem during the cold and/or when i first start the engine. im very worried about the safety of my car and myself! because i've had 3 different people assure me the car is in good shape, only to find out about or have a major problem occur. i don't feel safe in my mystery car! i bought a honda after being a loyal toyota customer because i thought they had the best reputation for long lasting vehicles. i'm thinking i made a mistake. please help lessen my worries. *tr

My car's srs airbag indicator has turned on, and the side airbag indicator turns on then and now. i researched on the internet to know that this is a common problem with 2000/01 honda accords. the airbags wont deploy because of this indicator even though the air bag system is not faulty. *tr

My 2000 honda accord ex v6 with about 94,000 miles has the srs light on permanently. the diagnostic code provided to me by the dealer is 5-8, which is internal srs failure, and requires the srs unit to be replaced. this is not covered under the current warranty extension (campaign code q08, service bulletin 06-009) for opds. given that the part is integral to the safety system, it seems that should have a much longer warranty. the car has not been involved in any sort of accident in two years, and previous accidents were minor rear end collisions (impacting the rear of my car). there was no incident to cause the srs light to remain on. *tr

2000 honda. catastrophic failure of front left ball joint. (see prior recall of hondas 1998-1999 for this, also.) left urn into a driveway, from virtual standstill. left front ball-joint/knuckle failed, suspension collapse, tearing away of undercarriage, wheel collapse.

I have a 2000 honda accord se with 85k. my srs light recently came on and honda wants a $100 to check it out. my cousin has the same exact vehicle and had the same problem. so i decided to google the problem. it seems everyone is having the same issue. i haven't taking the car in yet to get it fixed because i don't have the money for them to diagnose the problem. but hopefully there will be some sort of recall since there is obviously a defect in the system and when the light is on the safety systems such as the airbags will not work. *tr

Srs light has been on for over a year. the dealer said it would be very expensive to have it "looked at." recently, the o2 sensor came on and i've made 3 trips to have it fixed. it will cost me 420.20 to have the problem solved. i've been reading about recalls for this very problem, and as a senior, i'd sure appreciate some help. this doesn't seem fair. *tr

Key can be removed while the gear indicator is in "d". if the car is parked on an incline, it can begin to roll once the brake is disengaged. there is a recall for the same year and model with this specific defect, but my accord's vin "does not qualify" for the recall. dealership offered to replace mechanism at my expense. *jb

I noticed when i stopped my car made an abnormal idol noise. i took my car into the local honda dealer who proceeded to inform me that the spark plug in my car was stripped and the threading coils were now completely stripped as well and the cylinder head needs replaced. the spark plug in the car is a genuine honda spark plug which if this is not caused by normal wear then it must have been poor workmanship. honda is only willing to pay for half of the damage (total cost is $2000.75) i am stuck because i do not feel i should pay for damages that were incurred while the spark plugs were placed by honda. *jb

I owned a honda accord 2000 ex model. we bought from dealer as new.5 years ago, the srs light came on. we took to the dealer in atlanta georgia (before we moved to california), their service attitude was extremely bad. and told us that we need to paid for our diagnostic fee and could cost us $1,500 to fix it i was extremely mad and called honda corporate office in torrance. they were very bad too. we took it to the dealer in orange county, california. the service was outrageous bad. the srs concern the deployment of airbag and should be a lifetime warranty. after extensive research, i found out that so many honda accord owners have the identical problem. we suggest nhts make this case with honda and ask them to put this issue as lifetime warranty honda north america is very bad. *jb

2000 accord srs light came on and dealer refused to fix the vehicle. customer states honda should fix his vehicle with no charge since he was not aware of the recall on the air bags. *kb the consumer learned the manufacturer had extended the warranty to 10 years or 150,000 which ever came first, however the consumers vehicle has exceeded the 150,000 mark. *jb

I own a 2000 honda accord ex-v6. my srs light has come on twice now. the first time i had it reset by the dealer, and it cost me $100. they also claimed it was my front impact sensor. this vehicle has not been bumped or had an accident since i have owned it, so i fail to see how that could break. now, the second time, the srs light has again come on and has been on my dash for several months. i am fairly certain that i will not have a functional driver's side airbag if ever i am hit. this is a huge safety issue. i have read several similar complaints about this srs light situation on your site and many others. i believe that this problem warrants a recall, as the dealer is set to charge me close to $400 to replace the sensor and still cannot guarantee this will fix the problem in the long-term. since this is so prevalent, why is this not a priority??? this should be a recall or some sort of campaign, because frankly, many of us feel very unsafe. *jb updated 01/02/08. *lj updated 12/12/07 *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. while driving 30 mph, the contact crashed into the driver side door of another vehicle. the driver sustained injuries to her left leg and side. a police report was filed. the seat belt did not restrain her from moving forward and the air bag failed to deploy. the dealer replaced the seat belt buckle in june of 2007 and diagnosed the vehicle due to the srs light illuminating. in august of 2002, the srs was replaced due to recall number 02v051000 (seat belts:front:buckle assembly). honda also sent an investigator to inspect the vehicle and concluded that they were not responsible for the failure. the current mileage was 51,250 and failure mileage was 51,184. the consumer stated was severely injured with hernia on right side and fractured pelvis on left major surgery to be performed. the consumer further stated seatbelt did not restrain nor did airbags deploy. updated 09/10/07 *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord ex-v6 coupe and for about about a week now the srs light will not go out. i contacted honda and was told there was not a recall and warranty would not cover after 10 years or 150,000 miles (which ever came first) i have 188,000 on my car so i did some searching on the internet and was stunned to find so many people looking for a solution to get the srs light off. so if i am in a accident will the airbags deploy? i think someone should find out before a death results from this issue this is a safety hazard and should definitely be looked into. please do a little research and require honda to do a recall. *tr

My 2000 honda accord se v4 auto has the mileage of 86,000. no accident or anything. out of nowhere, srs light stayed on. i have nothing on or around the passage seat. the car does not have side airbags. it bothers me a lot because of safety concern. i called honda dealer and was told that they'd need the car during weekday for a whole day to diagnose, and cost would be from $150.00 and up. sky is the limit. besides, i can't go to work without the car or i have to rent a car myself. what a hassle. i am not sure if honda warranty covers srs light. i searched on the internet just to find out that i am not alone. *jb

Without any reason whatsoever, srs light came on and dealer would not even diagnose the problem without a substantial payment. i've read on the web that many honda users experience this problem around 100k miles. air bags are federally mandated safety equipment like seatbelts. seatbelts are covered by life-time warranty and so should be the air bags. the customer should not have to pay for failures of life-saving equipment that is not due to wear and tear or accident. *tr

Occupant position detection system fails. passenger seat sensor failed according to dealer diagnostics. item was repaired under warranty at 125,000 miles. same component has failed again 13 months later at 155,000 miles.

The srs light wont go out .the air bags won't deploy if i am in a accident . *ak

Srs light came on around 80,000 miles. i have been told everything from it was no big deal, your air bags will not work. i just wanted to know that danger, if it could be fixed, and if there was a warranty coverage issue. it didn't seem to be covered by a recall, even though there were hundreds of cases on the web of people with accords all having the same problem. *ak

Not able to remove key from ignition in any gear. *tr

I had left the car in a parking structure. apparently i had left the gear in reverse rather than in park. after leaving the car with my ignition key in hand the car began to roll, and subsequently crashed into another car which was parked. the damage was minimal, but costly to repair anyhow. there was a woman with a baby in a carriage which was narrowly missed by the moving vehicle. i have since learned that i should not have been able to remove the key from the ignition with the gear shift lever not in park. in fact, there has been a recall 05v025000 for the exact same problem. although almost 500000 cars of the same year and model of mine were affected by the recall, my particular vin was not included. honda disclaims any responsibility since my warranty has long expired and my car is not covered by the recall. it was interesting that the recall notice included the following words under "defect consequence:" "if the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and failed to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur" this was the exact scenario of the incident which occurred. *ak

Srs light came on after 100,000. see honda accords in this year are notorious for these problems. honda dealer is trying to say before i even bring it in that it oculd be 20 diff. things setting this light on. think he will tell me it is not covered if it really is. there are several tsb's on this issue with many disatisfied honda owners.

I own a 2000 honda accord se and the srs indicator illuminated causing me to take into my honda mechanic. he ran a diagnostic and discovered a temporary code 09-03 indicates a malfunction in the drivers seat belt switch. this cost me $75. he scanned the engine computer for stored codes and retrieved the temporary code 09-03 occurred 14 times over 157 key cycles. felt problem was very intermittent and reset should last a while or never return. not more than a few days later, the srs illuminated. called mechanic and he said to bring the car in and we will reset; no charge. this back-and-forth continued for a while until it just became completely inconvenient and had to consider how to fix. options were to: 1) replace the seat belt buckle on an educated guess with no guarantee this will solve the problem. cost: $250. 2) continue the test procedures they have and remove seat and disassembling the seat cover to inspect the seat belt wiring, again with no guarantee. cost: $225. i have not selected either option as i feel it is a honda defect and should be covered by them. *jb

The srs light on my 2000 honda accord ex indicating failure has illuminated for the secoind time. the first time i took the car to my honda dealereship and they rest the light, 1 minute job for $100. they said if it goes on again i may need a new system which can run up to $1000 or more. if this is an important safety component as defined by nhtsa, why is not covered by a lifetime warranty? *ak

Srs light turned on spontaneously; honda keeping diagnostic codes secret, so my local shop is unable to fix; could be simple seat belt switch, could be airbag failure; not with $150+ to check for simple seat belt switch. solution is to make the codes accessible to the public instead of keeping them secret so customers can choose where to have the repairs done instead of forcing repairs at honda dealership. *jb

2000 honda accord ex 4 cyl. vin# 1hgcg565xya0xxxxx experience sudden loss of instrument panel lighting, automatic transmission selection indicator light, door and trunk open indicator light when running light and headlight switch was turned on. this failure presents the same symptoms as a recall for 2000 accords with a v-6 engine but is outside the narrow scope of the honda recall. *nm

My srs light has been on since december 31, 2006. it is my understanding from the dealership that my airbags are now disabled and will most likely need to be replaced at a minimum cost of $1,300.00. based on the safety risks and the number of consumer complaints, honda should issue an immediate recall. *jb

Car key can be removed from the ignition without requiring the driver to place the transmission in park. i purchased the car used last month and am not accustomed to driving an automatic-transmission vehicle. on multiple occasions, i have left the car in drive and attempted to exit the vehicle after shutting off the motor, only to have the car begin rolling forward or backward. condition is extremely dangerous. curiously, this is the exact problem for which the nhtsa issued recall no. 05v025000. however, dealer and american honda motor co. refuse to repair the car because its vin number does not fall within the range that honda believes to be inclusive of cars with this defect. unbelievable. car is a 2000 honda accord. *nm
