I HAVE 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX. ON HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WAS ONLY ONE LANE AND I HAD TO OVER TAKE A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE BY MOVING TO INCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. SUDDENLY MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM THE BREAKS AND MOVE BACK TO MY LANE TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. LATER I FOUND THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY CAR. IT SEEMS TO BE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT IN 70K -100K MILES RANGE. IT IS CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD AND THESE SHOULD BE RECALL OR FIXED BY HONDA. MY HONDA HAS ONLY 80K MILES ON IT. *TR

I HAVE 2000 HONDA ACCORD; ODOMETER: 84,196. THE CAR IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FOR WHICH HONDA HAD EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR 93 MONTHS/109,000 MILES.. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM USUALLY HAPPENS BECAUSE OF DRIVING THE CAR FOR LONG.. SINCE I DRIVE LESS, I DID NOT HIT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW, BUT MY CAR IS NOW MORE THAN 93 MONTHS OLD.. HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS ISSUE.. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD (THE CAR STALLS ABRUPTLY IN HIGHWAY) BUT HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO FIX.. I REPLACED THE SOLENOIDS BUT NO IMPROVEMENT. THE REPAIR FACILITY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER , I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG MODULE OF MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 . THE AIR BAG OF THIS VEHICLE IS TURNED ON ALL THE TIME . I SHOWED THEM COPY OF THE ODI NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 02V080000. THEY CLAIMED THAT I HAVE TO PAY $89.00 TO TEST THE CAR , AND THEN THEY WILL CHECK THE VIN NUMBER.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. NO COLLISION TOOK PLACE. THERE WAS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. NO MAJOR INJURY, JUST A LITTLE BANGED UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX 4-DOOR WITH 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND THE AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, YOU CAN THEN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THIS INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE IGNITION SWITCHED INTERLOCK FUNCTION. I CALLED HONDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR HAD NO RECALL NOTICES FOR IT'S V.I.N. NUMBER. I AM AWARE THAT THEIR WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM REF:NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V025000 & NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE05002 . HONDA SHOULD REMEDY THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT COULD RESULT IN A POSSIBLE CRASH OF THE VEHICLE AND SINCE THEIR WAS A PAST HISTORY OF THIS DEFECT. *TR THANKS DALE CLAPPER

MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL "INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS NOT ON" OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V256000 BUT WHEN I CALL THE HONDA MOTOR THEY SAID MAY EXACTLY IS THE SAME YEAR 2000 BUT THE VIN NUMBER NOT INCLUDE IN THE RECALL. *TR

HONDA HAD SUPPOSEDLY UNDER A HIDDEN WARRANTY SWAPPED OUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED THE FIRST TIME,IDENTICAL PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN D4 ON THE DASH STARTS BLINKING AND I COULD ONLY DRIVE TO 3RD GEAR. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART ITS OK UNTIL I DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES. RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL REV BUT THE CAR WON'T GO FORWARD UNTIL IT JERKS VIOLENTLY AND CATCHES GEAR. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL NOT UPHOLD THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER. TECHNICALLY AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR IN THE SAME AMOUNT MILEAGE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT THEY TOLD ME FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR I AM OVER THE MILEAGE. *TR

THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND THIS IS BECOMING A HAZARD WHEN PUT IN TO TRAFFIC. *TR

1) NO PROBLEM UNTIL A RECENT TRIP, 2) SRS LIGHT CAME ON, STAYS ON, AIR BAG/SEAT BELT ISSUE? 3) CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE. *TR

MY CAR IS A HONDA ACCORD 2000 4 DOOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE IN THIS CAR. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN 2006 THE SECOND WAS APRIL 2009. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 50,000 MILES BEFORE I NEEDED THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE LASTED MORE THAN 50000 MILES. BOTH TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WAS DONE AT A DEALERSHIP WITH HONDA PARTS. *TR

CONSUMER IS INQUIRING ABOUT WARRANTY ISSUES FOR HIS 2000 HONDA ACCORD. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. ALSO, THE PANEL LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON. BOTH THE HONDA DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS DISALLOW RESPONSIBLITY. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE. MY CAR IS GARAGED, HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SUFFERED NO ACCIDENTS. YOUR LISTING SHOWS THAT MANY OTHER HONDA ACCORDS HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY DEVICE I FEEL NHTSA SHOULD TREAT THIS SERIOUSLY. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. IN MARCH I HAD TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED. IT WAS NOT THE HEADS AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED IT AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR FOR A MONTH. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE ENGINE COST ME $2,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ESTIMATED PARTS AND LABOR AT $3800. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 7 YEARS 9 MONTHS TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 88,000 MILE AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL. *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

SRS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA SAYS THEY WILL NOT CHECK IT FOR LESS THAN 100 DOLLARS. MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR RESULTS! IF THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AFFECTING MULTIPLE CARS THEN AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD TAKE PLACE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. 134,000 MILES. *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

THE COIL PACKS HAVE CAUSED MISFIRINGS. THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLINK. *TR

HAVE AND OWNED SINCE NEW A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX 4-DOOR SEDAN. IT FAILED VA STATE INSPECTION DUE TO A SRS LIGHT ON. DEALER RIGHT AWAY WANTS TO CHARGE $100 TO $120 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS SRS LIGHT PROBLEMS WITH SAME VEHICLE OWNERS. ALL STATING IT WAS A FAULTY OPDS SENSOR/ OPDS UNIT. DEALER CHARGES FROM $500 TO $900 FOR THIS FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COSTS ARE OUTRAGEOUS. DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD BE FREE ALONG WITH HONDA FREE REPLACEMENT. I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL. *TR

2000 HONDA ACCORD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NECESSARY TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION WITH NO HELP FROM HONDA.

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORDS TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 93,000 MILES. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (CASE NO. RG 03099677) WAS WON IN CALIFORNIA IN 2006 EXTENDING THE WARRANTY OF THE 2000-2001 ACCORDS TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 93 MONTHS/ 109,000 MILES. HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED NEED FOR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT (APPROX $2800) DUE TO TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND WHEN CAR STOPPING, JUMPING AND STUTTERING. CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SERVICED REGULARLY. I CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA CORPORATE ABOUT A GOODWILL GESTURE DUE TO CAR BEING UNDER IN MILES OF WARRANTY, BUT OVER IN MONTHS BASED ON DATE OF CAR PURCHASE. WAS INFORMED BY CASE MANAGER (CASE NO.N012009-01-2200226) THAT WARRANTY IS "UP" IN CAR AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP IN REPAIR. *TR

TAKATA INFLATORS

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

2000 ACCORD SEDAN, BRACKET THAT ATTACHES DRIVER'S SEAT BOTTOM TO SEAT BASE FRACTURED AT LEFT FRONT WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPY RAILROAD CROSSING, CAUSING SEAT TO LURCH BACK, NEARLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. NOW, SEAT LURCHES BACK WITH EVERY ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA STATES THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY ACTION AVAILABLE AND STATES THAT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE02072 IS INAPPLICABLE AS THERE IS NO RECALL CODE FOR MY VIN IN THEIR INTERNAL SYSTEM. THEIR ONLY PROPOSED CORRECTION ACTION IS A $ 1,500 PLUS REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAT TRACK, AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING ABNORMALLY AS IF IT WOULD STALL. THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION COIL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $332.78.

UPDATED 03/04/09.*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 03/06/09. *JB

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!!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AND LEAK TRANSMISSION FLUID. SHE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY EVERY TIME SHE WOULD ACCELERATE. SHE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CONSISTENTLY. THE DEALER ADVISED HER THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE PAID $100 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. SHE WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY $200-$300 FOR THE REPAIR BUT SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY $2,400. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000. UPDATED 01/05/10. *LJ UPDATED 01/05/10.*JB

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

DASH LIGHTS GO OUT; THERE'S A RECALL ON THE LX MODEL AND THE EX MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT DASH LIGHTS. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLDGE PROBLEM. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

LAST 25 DAYS SRS LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. I DID GOOGLE AND MANY MANY CAR OWNER IS HAVING SAME ISSUE. *TR

AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT SEAT CAME UN-WELDED ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT BACK AND FORTH. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, IT NEEDED TO BE WELDED. AUTO REPAIR SAID THAT IT COULDN'T BE WELDED, I NEEDED AT LEAST A NEW SEAT FRAME ($300-$400) OR POSSIBLY A WHOLE NEW SEAT ($800-$900).*TR

DRIVER SEAT WELDING HAS LOOSENED REQUIRING A REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE SEAT INCLUDING THE SEAT MOUNT. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT COULD NOT BE REWELDED BUT WOULD NEED THE ENTIRE SEAT INCLUDING THE SEAT MOUNT COMPLETELY REPLACED. MY VEHICLE FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO THE SEAT COMING LOOSE THEREFORE A BRAKE TEST CANNOT BE COMPLETED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATING ON THE VEHICLE.

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON, AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2008 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE BACK OF A STOPPED VEHICLE AT A SIGNIFICANT SPEED. THE AIRBAGS IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD DID NOT INFLATE. THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGES TOTALED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS INTERESTED IN DETERMINING IF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION. *TR

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD IS SHOWING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (P0740, P0730) WITH 123K. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL PAGE WITH WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 100K OR 7 YEARS SO I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR BOTH. THE WARRANTY CLEARLY TELLS THERE MAY BE A MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP ISSUE. HONDA IS WASHING THEIR HANDS AND ASKING ME TO PAY 2200$ FOR REPAIR. WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES?AND I FIRST FELT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED HIGHWAY(DURING THE EVACUATION OF HURRICANE IKE) AND LUCKILY SAVED FROM A BIG ACCIDENT,. I HAD 4 PEOPLE AND A KID IN MY CAR. THIS IS SURELY A MATTER OF SAFETY. I COULD SEE A LOT OF HONDA TRANSMISSION ISSUE AFTER THE INCIDENT IN WEB. PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO TAKE THESE VEHICLES OUT OF THE ROAD AS IT MAY CAUSE BIG ACCIDENTS AND HONDA TO REPLACE ALL FAULTY PARTS. *TR
