Read complaints for HONDA ACCORD (2000)
My supplemental restraint system (srs) warning light went on.this is serious because when the light is on, honda told me, that the airbags are disengaged.i took the 2006 honda accord sedan v6 to the dealer.the service department told me that there was a service bulletin out on this problem, 02-077 dated dec 17, 2002.i was told it would take $1600 to fix.i read the service bulletin.it states that this problem is due to static electricity problem in the system.as an electrical engineer this means there is a design problem with this vehicle.even though this is a design problem and the bulletin came out while my car was still under warranty, honda, east coast headquarters, has only offered to cover parts.i believe that this not just my problem and that honda needs to issue a recall due to the safety issues related to a srs light.again, when the srs light is on, airbags will not deploy.
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 isif it isn't the seat belt i have to pay the diagnostic feeand800.00.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'sairbags 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 thishowever, 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.
I bought a honda accord lx2000 in 2004 with 46 k on it. Shortly thereafter the srs light came on.i was at the dealership to inquire why it was on.theytold meit was because my airbag might not deploy in the case of an accident.not able to bear the expense of repair, i havedriven it as is & the current mileage is almost 87,000.
My 2000 honda accord srs light is on, no any accident was involved.the light keeps on even after reset several times. I wonder if the manufacturercovers the cost of replacement for vehicle safety.
The contact owned a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speed, the rear passenger side tire deflated and caused the vehicle to fishtail and crashed on the rail at the side of the road. There was no warning.the air bags deployed and popped and emitted noxious smelling smoke. The contact and his wife sustained sore shoulders, ribs and lower back injuries but did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was totaled and was towed away. The dealer and the manufacturer were not called. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.
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?
No deployment of air bag during frontal and rear end collision.nlm

Takata recall i am afraid to drivbe my car because of these issues
Srs onboard computer and passenger airbag failure at 5 miles. 9-3 seat belt driver side failure 85k. American honda states it is by design and even though they have a lifetime warranty on the belts they will not cover this.
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.
Nhtsa recall 20v-026 has not been repaired on my car and i am very concerned. Yes, my auto is old and that is my major concern.american honda should be more on top of the urgency to get the oldest repairs done first. The recall is associated with heat and moisture. My car is has been very well maintained but it lives in a hot, humid part of the usa. Please apply the necessary pressure on honda to make this repair happen.thank you
Passenger air bag deployed with nothing in it. Drivers airbag, did not deploy , having an accident at 30 miles an hour, straight on, rear ended an suv. The side seat airbags, also did not deploy on impact.
I discovered there is a recall on 2000 honda accords that pertain to airbags not deploying.my research discovered that the first sign there is a problem with the airbags is the srs light on the dash comes on & stays on.this happened to my 2000 honda accord.1 week ago i contacted emily in the service dept at rock honda in fontana ca.i was told my vin did not apply to the recall. I explained that my car is experiencing the same problem as the cars that were recalled.i asked how they could know for absolute sure that my airbag is not defective based on a vin number.an answer was never provided.after pushing the issue emily scheduled an appointment with me to have the car looked at free of charge.emily told me that she would for sure see me on the scheduled day and to make sure that i talk to her.at the time of the appointment it was found that emily had gone on vacation w/o informing me about my scheduled appointment possibly needing to be changed, nor did she leave any info for the service members about my situation.i was told to just inspect the car it would cost $75 and since the srs light is on there is definitely something wrong w/ my airbag and it would cost an additional $800 to fix.honda said that they will not fix my car free of chargebecause of my vin number, even thoughthey are aware that there is indeed a serious safety problem w/ defective airbags in the 2000 honda accords.it was also found that since my car is a canadian honda, but was sold to me brand new in so. California at rock honda, that american honda will not deal with the situation and have been told that canadian honda cannot force a u.s. Dealership to fix the problem.my concern is i drive 6 days a week to & from work.a 1 way trip is 45 minutes long in heavy stop & go traffic.i'm extremely scared i will have an accident & will be injured because my airbags will not deploy.i feel lucky in the 3 & half years i've owned the car i have not yet had an accident.
The srs circiut disables airbags and doesn't reset itself.
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.
The srs light on my 2000 honda accord ex is on.this indicates a defect in the airbag system, increasing my risk for injury in an accident.honda should fix this problem under warranty as it is a common problem with this model.
I have a 2000 honda accord lx.the srs light is on.honda service centers don't want to fix this under the warranty because they say there is no recall for this item.however, i have found out that there are thousands of people with this same issue online.there is no way of knowing if this is a seat belt or air bag problem and honda wants to charge $100 for a diagnostics on a very common issue among honda owners.this is a safety item that needs to be recalled on all hondas with the srs light on.
When in motion vehicle transmission slips terribly and is difficult to shift.car only has 100,000 miles on it.also air bag lights are always on.steering wheel also locked on the car.
Returned to honda for service for srs light that stays on, service states airbags non-operational and no updated parts currently available for problemon this model year at this time, service reset sensor lightand problem returned the following day and service claims there is no available fix ,leaving us with a car with no airbags.
Srs in 2000 honda accord is on.advised it is the opds sensor, and opds unit. Recalls on similar models, but not my vin #. Air bag will not deploy if there is an accident.
My car srs indicator light started to come on back in april of 2005.it stays on while my car is on with and without passengers.i finally took my car to a mechanic hoping that they could reset the light.they told me that there is a malfunction in the air bag system and it could deploy at anytime.the mechanic also told me that this is quite common in this make and model.this is very frightening because i bought a honda for their reputation for safety and quality.but to think that my airbags can deploy at anytime i drive or even not working in the case of an accident is very concerning. Please investigate this with the honda accord coupe models between 1998-2003.my car is a 2000 v6 honda accord coupe lx.thanks.
2000 honda accord 6-cyl - srs light has come on 6 times since new.again last week. I purchased an extended warranty which runs out 11/04.*la
Was in an accident, car was totalled.no airbags went off exwct the passwnger side airbag,which no one or anything was in the seat. Was a head on collision. Was moving about 20 to 30 miles an hour. Comung to a stop
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..
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

Srs light lights up along with the side airbag light.
Pulling out of the garage and srs light went on and stayed on for ever.
Takata recall i bought this car with no air bag and also suspension is no good
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 pez 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-ppuservice history:2001 ? presentservice agency:honda dalton polanco de mxico, d.f.

I would like to replace the air bag, especially because of the recall. I am the head or household in my family and our safety is extremely important. Thank you, i need your assistance to get a local dealership to fix this issue.
Side impact airbag light illuminates at various times, sometimes while vehicle is in motion.dealer has stated several times that the system is operating normally even though the light illuminating is showing a fault somewhere in the system.
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.
At around 43,000 miles,the srs light came on in our 2000 honda accord.i called the local honda dealer and they said that i would have to pay $60 for a diagnostic test, then a charge for fixing the defective part. I asked what would be the cost to replace the air bag, if that was the problem, and they said that they would not tell me the cost.
"takata recall"srs light has remained consistently on in the instrument panel since 10/20/16. I was told by the garage that services my car that i need to have my airbag replaced. The light had come on after i started my car, and it has not shut off since.
Dt: the tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it isin reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealerto the dealer twice andthey couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is themotor mounts. The first time this happened was in october of 2002. Dash board lighting goes blank.a faulty multiflex light unit was found.front brakes worn.check engine light was on.found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced.srs light is on.faulty opds unit was found.
My wife owns 2000 honda accord se and having problem with srs warning light on all the time.we had the light turned off and few months later it comes back on again.it was repeated for few years now and no use.don't understand why because her car's front and back bumpers are in good condition.searched the internet and noticed that lot of other owners had the same problem.was there any recall on this ??it makes me really nervous that the air bag might engaged and blow certainly while driving.could you investigate this problem please ?
The srs light came on with no reason.it was reset by an approved ase mechanic.but after 2 days, it come on again.

Letter from senator nelson on behalf of constituent re a highly volatile takata airbag that is installed in his 2001 honda civic.the consumer was informed there was no open campaign recall information available for his vehicle. The consumer never referenced owning a 2001 honda civic. He stated he owns a 2000 honda accord. The consumer stated older models, were mysteriously missing from the official honda recall list, which only go back as far as july 2001.

Srs indicator light stays on. Both the honda dealer and american honda motors disallow responsiblity.
Srs light stays on. This indicates that the airbags may not deploy in an accident. Honda lifetime warranty for restraint system should cover this, but they don't. Seat belt switches were checked and ok so sensor needs to be replaced. Repair cost estimate: up tp $900. Why isn't nhtsa issuing a recall for this potential safety issue? look at the long list of complaints for this in the database!
Summary:on the 2000 honda accord after having problems with the alternator the air bags would be useless in a crash unless honda services the vehicle and erases the failure code the computer is reporting.i recently had the alternator in my 2000 accord ex v6 replaced because it was not working.after it was replaced the srs (air bag) light was on and would not turn off.i then went to the local honda service center and they told me that because the alternator was not powering the computer that controls the airbags with the correct voltage it triggered the failure light.i was then told that while the light is on the air bags are disabled and would not be deployed in the event of a crash.i then told the employee that this was the stupidest thing i have ever heard, and is there any way to reset the system.i was told the car would have to be serviced and hooked up to their computer system to reset the cars internal computer (at a cost of $89.00).i set up an appointment to have this done next week but got to thinking how this is truly a safety issue.the system shouldreset itself when everything is normalso the consumer does not have todrive around in a car with air bags that do not deploy in the event of a crash.to have the car disable this vital part of its safety features because the voltage dropped below a certain point makes no sense.i can see it detecting an error but then when everything is back to normal it should reset.now the car is working perfectly but because the computer detected that one error now the air bags will not work at all until honda resets it (and takes $89.00).
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

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.

Srs onboard failure for the second time despite entire sytem being replaced at 100 miles by honda burns in nj. Now the repair is only paritally covered rendering a dangerous vehicle unless thousdands of dollars are spent to repair this system again!
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.
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.
The air bag indicator lights have come on repeatedly, the dealer is aware and replacement parts are on special order.nlm
Chronic problem with srs warning light.fixed once by honda dealer under warranty.problem reoccured when vehicle out of warranty.no apparent reason for problem, no accidents, nothing i did.auto would not pass state inspection with srs light on, so fixed again ($500 repair bill) at acura dealer that sold car to me.problem reoccured after 3 months, went away by itself after 3 days, then reoccured again at 4 months after repair.talked to several other honda owners and this seems to be a common problem and possible latent defect in manufacturer's product.

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.
Problem began when airbag srs light came on.i brought the car to my mechanic who informed me that the entire airbag system needed to be replaced.a couple months later, the light again turned back on and it turned out that one of the replacement parts was again defective and needed to be replaced again.my mechanic informed me that this was a common problem with the honda's but it was not a recall, i contacted the honda service department and they stated that this was not considered a defect and therefore could not be replaced without charge since my warrantee had run out.in may 2004 my check engine light came on and i was informed by my mechanic that this was a defect within the engine and required the egr to be fixed.i checked online to see if this could be something i could get some recourse on and again it is not a recall even though it is a known problem among honda accords.i just feel like i should have some recourse.within the last year i've had to pay out more than two thousand dollars in charges to have these defective parts fixed.if they are defective they should be replaced by honda free of charge.
My passenger airbag is faulty. It ejected on it's own as i was parked in the walmart parking lot.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained a bump to the head that did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000. The vin was unavailable.
Srs indication light illuminates after seat belt was replaced.
The airbag warning light (srv) came on, and local garage checked it out on their computer.they came up with a "code 9-2 air bag internal fault", and said i would have to take it to the honda dealer for repair.i took it to the honda dealer, and was told that they would have to run their own independent computer check, and, if a fault was found, i would be responsible for the cost of repair.my complaint: first, air bags being such an important safety item, and their installation mandated by the government, i feel that when a defect appears, a recall at the manufacturer's expense is in order.second, if the safety board does not have a sufficient number of similiar complaints to order a recall, then at the very least the manufacturer should be required to pay for the computer test.
Srs light stays on, airbags are not functional.
Last 25 days srs light comes on all the time. I did google and many many car owner is having same issue.
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 becausethe 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).

The honda service people won't provide a loaner vehicle until parts are ordered so now i will have to rent my own vehicle i wanted to know if they you will make them reimburse me, i really don't know what you guys do i'm just following up like the letter says to do they won't have it fixed within sixty days .
The srs airbag light came on at approximately 69,000 mi.the car was taken to dealer and no fault codes were found on the computer.i had the delphi alternator load tested and determined that could be the culprit.during this time, i also had both of my headlamps burned out within weeks of each other.i replaced the alternator with an aftermarket one and have not had any problems since.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving at an unknown speed, the srs warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the opds codes needed to be cleared. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 155,769.
Bought car in april,2000 since then i've brought this car in for service for the same problem 5 times. No safety defect mentioned.
When the battery was replaced, the asr light turns on.
One month after my warranty expired i had two major problems. First my alternator was completely replaced as soon as i started getting some sound. The very next day i got a check engine indicator on. Which resulted in some emission parts being ordered to be replaced today when i came out of the delaership my srs indicator started to display . I hope the airbags wont malfunction...
I have taken my honda into the dealership 5 times because the srs light comes on and stays on. The third visit to the service dealer, they detected that the sensor was malfunctioning and a replacement part would be ordered.one month later, the part arrived, was installed, and the light came back on.upon my return, the service dealer (clair honda) informed me that the honda tech line said that honda is aware of the problem, instructed the service dealer to reset the light and told the dealer that a replacement part may be ready in june, at which time honda isplanning a recall.in the meantime my airbags will not deploy, and i will have been without functioning airbags for over a year.being that i drive 25000 miles a year, i am very upset at the lack of response from honda.i bought this car for its safety features and am disappointed that honda will not stand behind this.
I have the known issue with my 2000 honda accord where the srs airbag light stays on. You cando a google search and see the widespread nature of this problem. Honda says if the airbag light is on the airbag may not deploy in a accident and others have had the airbag go off while driving normally. When i call my dealer they pretend not to know anything and want tons of money to even check it out. I have the honda care extended warranty and the dealer won't even verify if the problem is covered or not.
Air bag warning light is on. There attempts have been made by the dealership to correct this problem. The air bag warning light remains on. Please provide any further information.
(1) the air bag light came on (2) honda said it was because it fried the computer and it was because of a cell phone being on in the car.
Consumer has been to the dealership numerous times for the air bag light coming on, 2 times they reset the light, 3rd attempt they replaced the air bag unit, however the light continues to illuminate.*mjs
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.
Helloi am writing about my honda accord lx, 2000, 4 cylinders.without any reason (while driving the car), the srs light went on. When i checked with the honda dealerfrom where i purchased the car, they mentioned that the computer that controls the airbags is not working anymore. The cost to fix/replace the computer is $960.00.i research on the internet and there are many honda accord with the same problem. This is a very important safety module that should be fixed by honda and not by the consumer. Thank you.
While driving, the srs light illuminated on the dashboard.dealer has been notified several times; however, was unable to solve the problem.consumer states that after the occupant position detection system unit was replaced since april 02, the consumer was taking the vehicle for repairs at dealer for srs light every month (almost twice a month).*scc
When i first purchased my vehicle, a 2000 honda accord coupe ex v6, the passenger seat will not lock into place after moving the seat forward so that rear passengers can enter or exit the vehicle, therefore posing an extreme safety hazard to front passenger occupants.i have told my dealership, ed voyles honda (miki mullinax is my service advisor) about this since i first purchased the vehicle and i was told that this is "just normal".i don't understand how a condition that is potentially so dangerous can be "just normal".also, my srs indicator has come on for no particular reason and i explained this to my dealership, after looking at the technical service bulletin on this website, and they were going to have me pay a diagnostic fee to see if this was true or not.i actually also had an instance of the failed mil which was resolved by my dealer yesterday (honda service bulletin #00-017).please advise on these issues.thanks.jody kellps: the incident date that i am using is the day that i purchased the vehicle, which is when the seat issue first began.
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 andairbags 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.
While driving, the airbag warning light illuminated. This was an intermittent problem. The consumer contacted the dealer. The problem with air bag light was still occurring. The consumer was advised by dealer that there was no problem as long as the light did not stay on. The light came intermittentlywhile driving and also when someone was sitting in the passenger seat.however the condition had not reappeared for 4 weeks.
Red airbag light is on.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. After the vehicle was started, the srs warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
The air bag indicator lights have come on repeatedly, the dealer is aware and replacement parts are on special order.nlm
I owned ahonda 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 iti 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 warrantyhonda north america is very bad.
While driving the air bag warning light continuously illuminated on the dash board. As a result the air bags were inoperative and wouldn't deploy when needed. Dealer notified.
The srs light comes on by itself. This means that airbags won't be deployed in a crash. The dealer said it will scost ~ 1000-1500 $ to fix it. Airbags should be covered for lifetime. Reading the following website:http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2001/seat_belts_air_bags/srs_light_keeps_coming_on.shtmlthis is a very common complaint.
I have a 2000 honda accord vtec v6. I take good care of it, and all of a sudden all the air bag systems have shutdown indicated by the srs light. Now i am starting to have electrical failures left and right. Majority of my warning llights on, my console which include battery, all doors, trunk, and brake light lights are on. The transmission is starting to slip. I don't know if i got a bad honda from the batch, but just being 2 years old, it is experiencing some tough problems. I also have the extened honda plan upto 100,000 miles/6 yrs.. But of course the plan does not cover any of my problems. I don't have money to waste on the car that is nearly new, and i still owe 23000 on. Please help.
Srs light illuminates for no apparent reason.has been traced to the passenger seat sensor.dealers claim this srs component not covered under warranty.srs system is disabled when the srs light is illuminated.a simple reset of the srs system does not permanently fix the problem.
Srspanel light is on.
Airbaglight indicator "srs" is on all the time when the vehicle had 33000 miles. He vehicle was bought brandnew and never been in any accidents.ealer found srs code 9-3, meaning drive's seatbelt buckle switch failure temporary code).no sign of damage to the wire harness and wiring.dealer cleared the code.
While driving 60mph, consumer hit a pig weighing approx. 250 to 300 lbs. And airbags didnot deploy. Took to dealer and dealer indicated voltage was to low on airbags.consumer is concerned because previous vehicle was traded in for airbag same problem.photos attached.
Subject: honda 2000 accord srs light safety defectdear administrator:honda dealer at salinas in california performed recall ?ignition lock? work on my car on 3/16/05 (please see attached invoice). After that, the srs (airbags) light remains on my car. My car currently only has 32,600 miles. Before the dealer performed the recall work, my car was perfectly fine. I called dealer about this srs light issue. Dealer said i have to pay $101 for a computer diagnoses plus extra fee to fix the problem found. I, however, disagree because the srs light was on right after the dealer performed the recall work. Before that, my car was in the perfectly shape and never got involve in any accident. As the dealer said, the airbags will not deploy while the srs light is on. I think my car?s srs light issue is caused by either the dealer is unable to remedy the defect in my vehicle or it is another safety defect in honda 2000 accord. Therefore, your kind help on my case is greatly appreciated!sincerely, [xxx]p.s.

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.bothhonda 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.

Srs lighton accord 2000 lx. Heard there will be a recall.
Srs light illuminated, airbags will not deploy if involved in accident. This has occurred on our 2000 honda accord with 67k miles on it. We understand that the warranty has been extended for this issue to 10 years or 150k miles, ours is now ten years old. We feel this is unacceptable and that honda should cover this for the lifetime of the vehicle. This is why people buy vehicles with all the airbags...safety! honda should cover this problem no questions asked!! for life.*dt
While simply driving, the srs light on the dash turned on for my 2000 honda accord v6.it appears that many people receive the srs light in their hondas, yet few ever go get them fixed.the light has been fixed by the dealer for a whopping ~$400!this is absolutely outrageous.no wonder the people i know that has the srs light don't want to get it fixed.this is a safety hazard for the driver and should be fixed for free!there were no injuries or and crashes in my case, but if there was to be a good sized accident, the airbags will not deploy.the dealer, i believe, replaced the entire driver's seat and the srs sensor.please, this has been a frequent problem with hondas - that the srs light would spontaneously light up.this problem has to be addressed as this is a serious safety hazard.
2000 honda accord hit dry ice and hit sanding truck on front of accord no air bags deployed i was passenger and wearing a seat belt broke my sternum due to great impact of crash.ended up spending 3 days in hospital and 6 weeks off of work.
Consumer bought vehicle in may 22 of 2000.then, on june 12, 2 000, airbag modular light sensor came on, and was still on at this time. Consumer took vehicle to dealership, andmechaniic told her thatvehicle is under correction process.
The srs light stays on all the time.
2000 accord srs light on after 70k miles.this is allegedly due to increase cell phone usage.its a common problem on this car should be recalled.consequences are prevention airbag deployment, possible injury or death.
I have a 2000 honda accord with 2 door and 4 cylinder; mileage is about 105000. The car has the srs sign on it. Took it to couple dealers and talked to some car enthusiasts, and they say it's an airbag issue. Airbag may not deploy in case of an accident. Honda dealer wants to charge around 100+ to diagnose and then would tell me how much it will take to fix the problem. I feel if it's a safety issue, it should be taken care of by honda.

Honda dealer refused to replace recalled airbags in my car. Dealer claims that honda is not releasing the part until next year. I have been waiting for them to fulfill the request to replace the airbags, but they haven't responded.
Rsr (airbag lights) replaced twice.
On four different occaisions, the srs light (air bag) goes on.it remains on.each time, we have taken it to three different honda dealership.they claim that they fix it.within a few days, the light goes on again.it is now in a honda shop in orlando.the service department told her that some hondas are having this problem and they don't know how to fix it.he told her that the air bags may not deploy during a crash.therefore the car has no safety value.they also told her that a palm pilot, laptop computer or cell phone can be used in the front seat.honda must recall these cars and fix the airbag or replace the car.
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.
This problem (srs lights) started within 12 miles from driving off the dealer lot. Was told it's normal-"forget about it".there have been only fleeting days between the christmas light show the dash lights put on. It does not instill confidence. Poor servic e guys can't fix it because nothing works. I don't want to drive a car without airbags . If i wanted a non-airbag equiped car, i would have paid less for one - an old one most likely. I can't believe this is a honda product!!!! i
Was hit on the drivers side front.
After multiple resets, my srs light has been on for about 6 months.
My srs light is on in my 2000 honda accord.the dealership is telling me this is not covered under a recall.
Car wreck broke arm in two places by airbag
Srs light on indicates air bag system problem.dealer wants $100+ to test.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that the srs warning lamp illuminated, indicating an air bag malfunction. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 02v080000 (air bags). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
Srs light remains on. Side srs comes on in turns. Dealer has stated that something in the seat needs to be replaced and we have no driver srs at this time. Vehicle is under used certified warranty but dealer states this is not covered by warranty. We puchased a honda (have owned many!) because of reliability, durability and safety. Does not federal law require srs on current model vehicles? how can such a company refuse to fix such a major problem>>>
Srs light on.took to dealership, paid almost $455 to replace opds unit which is a common and well known defect by honda.
Srs light always on thus preventing deployment of airbags should an accident occur.
2000 honda accord se with 105k mileage.the srs faulty light is constantly on, which i was told may cost over $1000 to fix. Airbag system is a basic safety feature in automobile. It should have life time warranty on it same as the seat belt.
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.
Air bag cel is on thus disable the air bag function in the car. Check system results in no apparent problem. Reset would clear the problem from 1 day to 1 month, then the cel is re-appeared again.according to the mechanic, the problem is a faulty air bag control module from the manufacture and affect many similar cars within this model year. People on the internet forum are experienced the same thing with this srs warning light.since this is related to the function of vehicle airbag system, this should be a major concern of safety issue.please look into it and advice us....the consumer.so far, the honda dealer does not acknowledge the existing problem and demand an expensive fix in the air bag control module.thank you for your helps.
Srs light has been on for weeks, found it means faulty airbag. Found honda issued "technical bulletin 02034 (update 06-009) for a faulty control unit that caused the srs to come on. The warranty is for 10 years or 150,000 miles." called stevens creek honda dealership (san jose), and service advisor quoted $126 just for checking if my case applies to it. If it is, he said he will call honda for action. Why does not honda just recall this ? do i have to pay $126 just to see if it is warranty item ? i know from website (http://www.carcomplaints.com) that many guys are reporting same problem.thanks.
The car was parked. Got into the car to leave and the air bags deployed when the ignition was turned on. The car was stationary and there was no impact to the front.
Egr port valve ,air bag light.

Takata recalla head on collision, the passenger airbag deployed but the driver side did not.
The dashboard light labeled "srs" illuminated around 34,500 miles.according to the provided owners manual the entire system is non-functional as indicated by the srs light.i had the system examined by the dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a failed passenger position sensor, located within the right side of the passenger seat.the dealer fixed everything but the sensor, claiming that it was my responsibility to repair it because it wasn't covered under the warranty.seeing that the airbag system is overall safety of the car, which composed a significant portion of my reasoning to buy the vehicle i advised them to replace the part, at approximately $500 only to be told that it was on back order.the airbag system will not function as a result of the failure of this position sensing component and severely compromises the overall safety of the vehicle for all occupants.i filed a complaint with the company and did not hear anything until i personally followed up, only to be told that i would have to pay for the repair, when the part arrived.currently, my srs system is inoperative from no fault of my own.i don't think that honda should market, install and sell such a system if they can not seem to get it to function correctly for at least 35000 miles if they are not willing to stand behind it, aside from the fact the possibility of a severe injury has now increase by and exponential amount, what consumers pay to prevent and insurance companies offer discounts to promote, due to the malfunction of the factory installed defective components.seeing the fact that the supply is insufficent to meet the demand for the part leads me to believe that my vehicle is not the only one with this problem, and not the only whose safety of both passengers and driver a like is being compromised without the proper function of the purchased system.dt

I have accord se 2000. The srs light stays on. The dealer must take responsibility and fix this problem of main control unit malfunction.
2000 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to vehicle air bag problems. The consumer stated the air bag exploded last summer, while his son was driving. The air bag deployed, but did not inflate.the dealer replaced a sensor in the passenger seat. The consumer stated prior to the incident, a similar sensor was replaced in august 2013.
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.
After years of paying $100 a shot to have my honda accord srs light analyzed and turned off, the opds was replaced under honda's extended warranty.guess what?the srs light came back on a week later.i'm told by honda customer service i have to go back to a dealer, pay another $100 for another evaluation.they also said i could get reimbursed for all the times i already paid the fee if i could get the service history from the dealers.guess how cooperative the dealerships are being at providing that information?i wonder how much the company has made off of this "defect" and how many people -- like myself -- are still driving around with two young children wondering if my air bags will deploy if i have an accident?my nys inspection is coming up and i'm not going to pass unless i pay yet again for this light to be evaluated and simply shut off...only to turn on again in days.

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-$900to 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.
My srs light came on for no reason and stayed on.
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.
After a 200 mile drive on a rainy day (nov 29,2005), the srs light came on and has not gone off. The rain may be a coincidence. The vehicle was hit in front, but did not set off the airbags. Living in atlanta, driving in our traffic at a rate of 3000+ miles per month, i am not excited about not having working airbags. Several mechanics have attempted to diagnose, but no permanent solution has been found.
Warring light for the airbag remains on, at all times.
Driver side airbag light on unexpected and instable..(sometime on, sometime off).
Srs light is on all the time. It used to come on at different times, now it stays on all the time. It costs a lot of money to fix it. It is an important safety feature, and i feel airbags should have lifetime warranty just like seat belts. I noticed that this is a common problem in many 2000 and 2001 honda accords from searching on google.com

In june 09, have an issue with srs light coming on in my 2000 honda accord vehicle. The dealership said that this is an seat belt issue and fixed it. When i took the car to dealership in jan-2010 for srs symbol, dealer said that this is an opds sensor issue and since my car is out of warranty this will not be covered. My question- since this is a safety issue and honda is aware of this, why is honda not recalling. My car has 115,000 miles and this is purchased in nov 1999.can we have honda issue a recall for this instead of warranty extension?[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Srs light is on again, see odi number 10121769 this is the fourth time it has come onsee prior complaints.
Srs light stays on all the time.
Started car on that date and light would not go out talked to honda said there was a recall but not on this vehicle talked to mechanic to see about repair they said it was part of recall. It is not on list missed by one year so did they not get my car?srs light remains onno accidents or any other related issues
Srs light keeps on.i have a 2000 honda accord v6 and have it maintained by o'donnell honda(8620 baltimore national pike, ellicott city, md 21043). In sept. 2005, the srs light began to keep coming on. On oct.18, 2005, i took my car to the o'donnell honda. A representative/technician told me the air bag has no problem but it has a code 15-3 and need to be re-set. I was charged $41.50 for re-setting the srs light.the srs light kept off for about two weeks, then it came back and have kept coming on since then.if i keep taking my car to the dealer, it looks like they will keep charging me for the re-resetting because they said the air bag has no problem.i checked the internet and knew many people have the same problem with accord and civic. I don't think the technicians in the dealer are able to solve this problem. It is the problem in honda car design and specification. If the srs light is on and the air bag has no problem,when the srs light is off, the air bag may have problem?
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).
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.the contact noticed that the srs warning light would consistently illuminate on the instrument control panel, which indicated that the air bags were inoperative.she took the vehicle to the dealer on two occasions and they performed routine maintenance, which temporarily corrected the issue.weeks later, the failure recurred and the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel.she took her vehicle back to the dealer and they stated that she needed to replace both components at the discounted cost of $2,600.the vehicle has not been repaired.the contact sent a letter to the manufacturer, but never received a response.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 100,000 and current mileage was 122,000.
The srs warning light was on.the diagnosis determined the fault was caused by low system voltage even though the battery and electrical system tested to oem specs.no parts were replaced.the servicing dealership (gillman honda - houston) said the fault is due to a misdesign by honda.this problem may prevent the airbags from deploying (if the srs fault light is illuminated again).a safety recall should be considered.
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.
Srs light stays on meaning airbag malfunction. After reset it comes on again.
Srs light always on.8nm
Dash light for right airbag came on and an alarm while driving and is still on.
At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on.took accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared.the mechanic said to take to honda due to recall for this part. Picked car up from mechanic and car also had srs light on.researched online since i already have recall for dash light.found many other honda owners with same srs light.found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated.also, called honda and they said i was beyond the mileage (80k) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement.asked what honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made.i have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission.so when i'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy.my seat weld joint broke at 54k too!i used a 99 toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat.my accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! this car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing.honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.
When driving at any speed air bag warning light appeared on the dashboard. Consumer contacted with dealership.
Car: 2000 honda accord 2dr v6problem: srs lightafter numerous computer resets, srs light manages to come back on. After taking to dealer, was told on various occasions that it was due to faulty seat-belt sensor. Honda did not service due to out-of-warranty, and excessive cost to fix the sensor. Seems to be a manufacturer defect due to the nature of failure.
Air bag light illuminated while driving. The vehicle had been to the dealer on several occasions. Each occasion the light would come back onevery 7,000 miles. Currently, the air bag light is on again.
Srssystem determined bad by honda dealer 3 months ago. On 12/05/2001 srs system determined bad by honda dealer for a second time. Was told by dealer that the solution to the problem was unknown at this time.
My 2000 honda accord ex has 60,000 miles. A week and a half ago, the srs light came on indicating that there was a problem with my airbags. I took it to my mechanic who didn't know what the problem was. The light is still illuminated, which is bothersome since i'm driving around with faulty airbags. There apparently are several people who have encountered the same problem. There was even a recall issued for cars of my make and model that year for this problem, however, when i called honda today, they said that my car isn't included in this. I would like to be able to get this corrected and believe honda should be responsible for this since this seems to be quite a common problem with cars from my year. I have had no recent impacts that would cause the car to have such problems. It is less than 5 years old.

I purchased a 2000 honda accord for my daughter and the srs light came on.i took it to the dealer who scanned it and said it needed a new opds unit and sensor costing over $800.50.as i research it, i am astonished to see how many honda's are affected by this problem and that a widespread recall is not in effect.please investigate this serious safety issue that could cause airbags not to deploy.this is unacceptable in this day and age.
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.
In a period of 4 weeks the vehicle has been returned to the dealership twice for repairs to the air bag system, the srs on the dashbroad lit up indicating that a problem exist with the system, first for the air bag on the driver's side, then for the air bag on the passenger's side. *cj
I am having the same problem that thousands others are having with the srs light staying on. Honda should take care of the bother some error code once and for all. People are paying $80 to $100 just for the diagnosis, then more to fix or reset the light. Please help us in this endeavor to ratify a annoying problem.thank you in advance,paul radics.

My 2000 honda accord ex multiplex control unit malfunctioned causing my dash lights to go out and i can't see my dash panel at night ie. Speedometer. This is a safety issue and i am a single mom with 2 young kids and haven't owned the car for even a year and less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles and nothing i did caused the multiplex control unit to malfunction and there is a recall on this already for 2000 honda accord but american honda has given my several excuses as well as the salesperson at the dealership called and was told a different answer one was with the plant car came from.one was if it was a v6 then one was having an lx model one was with saying the mileage issue or they would fix it. Basically just a bunch of bs over and over. They need to honor their recall. Honda is supposed to be a safe dependable car and now i have a safety issue with driving and i am nurse and have to use my car for work and oncall but a night can't see the dash lights. I also have my srs light on which is another issue which my total airbag system needs to be replaced with a warranty on it as well but not with my exactly problem which there is another manufacturer malfunction but won't fix as well when nothing i did with either safety issues caused these to malfunction and american honda is aware and has recalls on these but won't honor the recalls with my 2000 honda accord.

Hit on the front drivers side.
Srs light on, reset. On again 5/2/2005 opds replaced, on again 5/3/2005.old parts not availablehonda dosent know what is wrong, or what componnet is causing the air bags to be inoperative and has know way to pin point which componnet is the cause, just replace parts until the light goes out.
Srs light remained consistently on for several days for no apparent reason.dealer noted the electronic sensor in the passenger seat might be affected by electronic equipment (ex.cell phone, laptop) or the control module might be defective.the srs system is not covered by any warranty beyond the normal 3yr/36k miles... Since this is a life safety system that was "properly" installed, shouldn't it be covered like the seat belts with a lifetime warranty?no other explanation was given as to the cause of the srs light remaining on for several days.
I have a 2000 accord, the srs light came on and stays on. I have read that this condition will make my air bags useless until repaired. I will take my honda in for the repair and hope that i will not be charged for this since it has been a honda problem for several years according to honda owners web sites.
I too have problems with the srs light.it came on about a year ago, i new they would charge a small fourtune to repair.then i received the extended warranty letter.however, i can't afford to give up my car for a day or so while they diagnose what the cause is.

When in reverse car makes a loud "clunk" feels as though car ran over something.dealer was contacted 3 times - states they do not hear anything.first time they said this was "normal".srs light has also been repaired 2 and is currently malfunctioning.
I have a 2000 honda accord.the "srs" light came onthe dash and stays on whenever the ignition is on.i took it to the dealer and they told me it is a switch within the driver's side seat belt buckle.they told me the belt and the buckle are covered under the seat belt warranty but the switch is not covered and the diagnostic test is not covered either.the whole assembly is part of the safety system and should be covered along with the diagnostic test.
My 2000 honda accord has its srs lights on again and will not go off.i brought it to my mechanic who put the car on the computer and said "theres a malfunction in my airbags, i have to go to honda" ($40.00).i brought the car to honda that same morning (9:30 am), informed them about my mechanic's response & that i commute a distance and don't feel safe driving the car, so they took it in.at 4:30 pm, they decided to put it on the computer and wow...there is a problem with my air bag system ($94.61).no accidents, nothing - it just came on while i was driving.honda told me "not to worry, that my airbag isn't just going to go off as i drive down the highway.....it just won't go off if you crash".real safety feature of the car. My diagnosis: code 9-3...drivers seat belt buckle failure (estimated cost to repair:$287.00 plus tax on top of the initial $94.00 i just gave them).this is 100% a safety issue and should absolutely be hondas responsibility.how can i be certain that they have not always been broken?this is totally ridiculous and i am appalled at honda's ignorance to this matter.
The problem this vehicle is experiencing is with the supplemental restraint system.it is continuously inoperative.the srs light has required service six (6) times since purchase of the vehicle.the system has been reset four(4) times, the srs control board was replaced and the electronic control module has been replaced.*jg
Transmission when in reverse jolted, consumer stated that it felt like he backed into something or rolled over an object. Honda said they had about 300 complaints,only v6 engines. Consumer has been to dealer a few times with the complaint. Finally called honda who admitted the defectiveproblem. Vehicle had a defectiveairbag light.
My 2000 honda accord lx (srs light remain on). Gas pedal get stuck, rotor and drum was bended.
Side air bag: light comes on and turns offintermittently 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.

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 jobfor $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 bynhtsa, why is not covered by a lifetime warranty?
I bought my honda accord thisseptember. 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 optionalthings 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 thecar 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 isin 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.
My srs light on my 2000honda accord has come on and it means my airbags arent working. I brought it in to a dealership and they gave me some bs about electonic interference. They didnt give me a permanent fix and im nervous that my airbags might not work. Honda doesnt have a permanent solution for getting the srs light fixed! why do i have to pay for fixing a safety issue that clearly is honda's defective airbags?
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.
While driving air bag warning light illuminated.dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The dealer replaced the driver's side air bag.
Honda srs light on.dealer will check.
"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 calledand 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.

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.
1) no problem until a recent trip, 2) srs light came on, stays on, air bag/seat belt issue?3) charge me to diagnose.
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.
Airbag light indicator stays on while driving. Cause unknown. Dealer notified.
The srs light stays on in my 2000 honda accord. The honda dealership stated they reset the switch the first time i took my car in to be fixed. The light came back on a few days later. I took it back to the honda dealership a second time and they said a switch in the seat belt needed to be replaced. In the mean time, the dealership stated that the air bags in my car are not working because of the srs light being on.
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.

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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 35 mph when the passenger side air bag deployed inadvertently without impact to the vehicle.there was not an occupant in the passenger seat at the time. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 146,300.
Transmission made a loud sqeaking noise and the air bag system failed twice. The dealer was informed appx. 7 day after the car was purchased of the problem and insisted it was just new car noises they will work themselves out. And again in april may i informed the dealer and the same things was said. Now i have a replaced transmission and they do not know why the srs system keeps failing.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact was driving 35 mph when another vehicle drove through a stop sign and crashed into the front of the contact's vehicle. The air bags did not deploy and the seat belt tightened around the contact. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis. The contact was advised that the seat belt buckle assembly would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and the current mileage was 869,900.
Engine check light went on twice. Took vehicleto dealer, and they said fuel filler: cap was not on properly.then,it was electrical system causingengine light to come on.a week later,srs light came on, indicating something wrong with airbag and seatbelts.
I've had problems with my srs dashboard light since i purchased the vehicle new in 2000.i had it repaired once and was reimbursed by honda.this time i'm told it is a problem with the $700 srs controller and is not covered.i'm told the airbags will not deploy while this light is on.mine, and many other 2000 accords have had this safety related problem and it is inexcusable that it not be covered by recall/extended warranty.
The srs light will not go off after starting the car.it was tested by a honda dealer and i was told that they reset the light but if it came on again, i would have to purchase a new srs unit at a very high cost.three hours after leaving the dealer, the light came back on and will not go off.since this is a safety feature like the seat belts, the dealer/manufacturer should replace this at no cost to me.
Srs light came on and remains on for no apparent reason. Side airbag light also comes on and flashes off while driving. Car was never in an accident.
Passenger side airbag lights intermittently when no one is in the seat. This has happened since the car was new. Now the srs light stays on.
Srs light came on and will not turn off. My car's vin is not part of the safety recall, so honda will not pay for the repair.no accidents, under 66k miles on a 2000 accord. This is ridiculous.
I also have a 2000 honda accord lx with approx. 134,000 miles and the srs indicator light stays on.the authorized honda dealer reported that this was not under a recall per my vin.even a quick search indicates that this is a very common defect with this model and year.honda needs to issue a safety recall on this problem.
While driving 60 mph driver applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor.this caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and hit the vehicle in front.upon impact,air bags did not deploy.the vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection.
The srs (supplemental restraint system) warning indicator has been lit for quite some time.i received a recall notice in march 2020. It is august 2020, 5 months from the recall letter, andi am concerned that parts are not available, and there is no availability date for an open recall to remedy this.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v026000 (air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.the contact called to ocean honda of burlingame (200 california dr, burlingame, ca 94010;(650) 620-7469) where it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Airbag light comes on intermittently.dealer has reset it twice, but stated there was nothing else they could do to remedy problem.consumer states that since march 2002 the srs has been on constantly.jlg
The sub frame 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 $2200 for the repair. No damage/rust on drivers side where a/c does not drain. The mileage is 158,080. Also see srs light.
We purchased a 2000 honda accord ex and the srs light has been on for the last year. We have had it reset 3 times but after a week it comes back on.it has been to the dealer twice but have no answers. Seems to be a big problam from what i have been reading.
The srs indicator light came on at 74,000 miles. From reading through the complaints, it seems this is a common problem with 2000 honda accords. It also seems that people have spent a lot of money to "try" to correct this problem, but with little success. Now i have to decide between spending a lot of money, possibly to no avail, or driving an unsafe car with no airbags. Please investigate asap and issue a recall, if needed, before someone dies.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that the srs air bag warning light had illuminated on his vehicle. He later received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v027000(air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. Lodi honda (1700 s. Cherokee ln, lodi, ca 95240) was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available for the recall repair. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.the manufacturer had not been notified of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning air bag light appeared on the dashboard.
Same problem as described in investigation #pe05043. The red srs warning light stuck on in my 2000 honda accord exv6 recently. It is after the warranty expired. There are two lights related to airbag in the car, one red, one orange "side airbag off". The orange light comes on and off depends on whether there is a light object on the passenger seat or not. The red light indicates problems and does not goes off even there is nothing on the front passenger seat.it is the first time we saw the red light stuck on in the past 5 years since we bought the car new. From searching the internet, we know the problem is common, and can be recurring. Honda has the obligation to fix the design, and recall the cars.please help us! let me know if you need further info regarding my car.
On or about august 2003, i brought my car in with about 12000 miles to dealer because the srs light was going on. Dealer could not detect a problem. It when on or off until 95,000 miles. At 95,000 miles the light stood on. At 98,000 miles, i brought the car in to have the transmission inspected due to a recall. I asked dealer to checked my air bag problem. They detected problem as being a faulty air bag module. Unfortunately dealer, did not want to repair module under original warranty because it had expired. Although, i brought in my car at 12,000 miles letting them know of a problem. It was an expensive repair and opted not to have it repaired by the dealer. I took it to another mechanic and had the air bag system re- set. The light when off. However, the light came back on a month later. Currently, iam riding the car with no air bags on and the manufacturer refuses to honor my warranty when i first brought in the car to the dealer at 12,000 miles and informed me that it is not their responsibility. What can i do?
Honda accord 2000 srs light on and stays on. Checked on line many honda owners have that issue and airbag would not deploy. Called honda customer service told me my vin is not covered under their extended warranty, need to pay for diagnostic check. This is serious safety issue, wanted to bring to your attention.
My srs light came on. I believe this is related to a safety item, the airbags of the car. When i called the local dealership (open road honda) they informed me that it would cost 105 just to diagnose the problem then from there it would be additional costs. I read on your website that all safety items should be fixed at no cost. The dealer told me that only safety belts are under that warranty. I'm very unhappy. I looked around some websites and other dealers have fixed it for no cost. Why is my local dealer asking me for 105 just to diagnose a safety product on my car? it is unsafe to drive without my airbags on! i am afraid of driving it since one of the reasons why i bought the car was because it has airbags. Now they don't work.
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?
Air bag warning light came on while driving. Dealership did a diagnostic test in which the opds unit failed. This rendered the air bag as inoperative. The opds unit had to be replaced.
My 2000 honda accord ex has recently had the srs light come on, when i took it to the dealer cambridge honda they charged me $98 informed me that the car had recently been inaccident (it hasn't) and that the box wouldn't communicate with their test set so to fix it would require replacing the entire system ($1000 +).

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was not made aware of the issue.

Srs (supplemental restraint system) light on instrument panel, light has come on three (3) times, dealership has examined vehicle each time, srs control module has been replaced, and reset which has failed to correct the problem. *yd
My 2000 honda accord v-6 has approximately 85,000 miles on it and i have had very few problems.always took to dealer for maintenance/repair.i had the alternator replaced in june 2005, and within 2 weeks of getting the car back, the srs light came on.i called the dealer and they said i should bring the car in right away.i paid $68 to have the system "tested" and was told i needed to replace the entire computer system for the air bags at a cost of $575, or i could have them reset it and it may or may not come back on.i asked what happens when the light was on and was told that the airbags just won't work.i opted for the reset.now, 2 weeks later, the light is back on.i have done some internet research and have found that not only is this a known problem, but the "cures" that are suggested by the dealer are all over the map.i find it incredible that honda is not responsible for this defect in a mandated safety device.my family will hold honda responsible if i am injured or killed due to a non-inflating airbag.i do not believe the company is taking the airbag issue seriously.my daughter was thankfully not killed in a serious accident last june in her civic, whose airbags did not deploy when she was hit with such force that it tore the front engine housing off her car and resulted in a total loss.the honda folks told us then that sometimes the car isn't "hit the right way" and the sensors don't register that the airbags should deploy.i think the same government that requires these devices be installed on all cars (and the ones we pay for when purchasing the cars) should hold the car makers/dealers responsible for making sure they are operable.

The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the issue. No assistance was provided. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The srs light is on and the airbag lights cone on
The srs light stays on.not sure if airbags will work in a collision.dealer will try to fix with new srs control modules.speedometer head unitis up to 13% off (depending on speed)and is somewhat unresponsive to minor speed changes.disconcerting while driving in traffic since i can't verify my actual speed due to the slow to respond and inaccurate speedometer unit readout.this leads to overaccelerating or overdeccelerating while driving in traffic in an attempt to hold local speed zone laws.verified by a pgm test at local dealer.no fix for the speedometer head unitfor now...told by honda customer relations to wait for a possible fix in november 2000.the driver's power seat makes a clunking noise while driving, not sure why.finally, while driving in traffic many times when i press the accelerator pedal the car does not respond very quickly or even falls flat for a second before it goes, pretty disconcerting at times, especially at intersections.
2000 honda accord srs warning light. Honda should repair this defect regardless of age or mileage of this car. My car has 159,000 miles so it is not within the window of their service bulletin.
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 againafter 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 nhtsawould 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.
Since date of purchase consumer has taken vehicle to dealership four times for airbag illumination. Manufacturer contacted dealership to inform them they were aware ofproblem, but no remedy could be found at this time. Please provide furthur details.

The srs light came on for no reason ,the failure was intermittent failure of srs unit, what was done , honda ran a system diagnosis and couldn't find problem, they cleared code for 98.00 dollars.
2000 honda accord was involved in an accident where the passenger side air bag deployed but the driver's side air bag did not deploy.*mrthe impact was on the front driver's side.prior to this accident the vehicle srs light had illuminated several times.the dealer reset it once, replaced a sensor in the seat back of the passenger's seat and replaced the driver's seat belt clasp.
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 soi 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.
The srs light has been on constantly for the past week.the dealer charges $97 just to diagnose the problem.after reading about all the similar complaints on this site and the fact that this is a safety issue, i don't believe there should be any charge to repair the airbag system.
I have a 2000 honda accord sedan and my srs light came on one day & ever since then it has not went off. I am very concern about this with 2 kids that rides in this car i brought this car because it is known for its safety and is dependable. But if the airbags don't deploy that is dangerous.
While traveling at 35 mph and as a result of an accident driver's side air bag did not deploy, but passanger side deployed.
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.
Consumer was going around a curve about 40-45mph andhit a patch of gravel.consumerhydroplaned into a ditch, anddriver side airbag didn't deploy.consumer had severe neck/shoulder injuries.dealerwas waiting to hear frominsurance company.dealer stated the airbag did everything it was suppose to do, not deploy.dealer feltit was up toinsurance to say it was supposed to deploy.the passenger side air bag did experience deployment, insurance company has decided other airbag should have deployed, consumer states usaa insurance company, skip holliday, has information regarding reports.

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.

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.

Airbag malfunction indicator light is on. Creating a critical and dangerous problem that needs to be addressed asap. Since this is a safety related defect and is covered by law as stated by nhtsa on there web site under voq and recall booklet. The airbag malfunction creates a situation in which could causedeath and critical injuries to the driver and passenger. I contacted american honda motor co. They refuse 100% to repair the malfunction. They refused to let me speak to a dept. Supervisor. They also stated that the dept. Supervisor never contacts or speaks to any customer. Stating that this was the way they do business.i spoke to mr. Todd yamatsuka american honda motor co. At automobile customer service. I told him more than one time that the airbag malfunction was a critical safety related defect and i also informed him that by refusing to repair the malfunction would be a violation under nhtsa law requirements. He even offered me what can be considered as a bribe, stating that he could get me free spark plugs, dist.cap, and wires. I refused to accept this. In order to end this conversation i ask for the last time if he was going to repair the airbag malfunction he stated no. Ps i do not know what oem stands for please let me know when ever possible.
I have a 2000 honda accord lx. The srs light came on a few weeks ago and it has remained on ever since. I was looking at some blogs and a number of accord owners (2000 and 2001 model years) have this problem.
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.
While driving and beinghit onthe front right side ofvehicle air bags did not deploy. Dealer notified.
Dt:contact has a 2000 honda accord and he says that he is having problems with his sbs-air bag light. He says the light came on and stayed on so he took his vehicle to the mechanic and he said that the wiring bundle had been cut through because someone that manufacturer the vehicle had put the bundle under the passenger side seat andthey wired the bundle wrong they put the wire to the air bag over the wire to the seat. And the movement of the seat going forward and back and the vibration of the vehicle had cut the wire to his air bag and disabled it. The contact called the american honda coporationon april 29th and they gave him a case number n012005-042900577 he talked to brian ho and he told him that he was going to mail a letter to his honda dealer stating the problem the contact was having. So in a couple of days he took his vehicle to his honda dealer he said he never recieved a letter so they told him they would look at the vehicle and so when the contact called back may 9th and they told him they were going to dismiss. The contact says that his warrenty is out on his vehicle and that's the reason why he thinks they dismissed the problem.
Dt:thecontact stated the passenger's side front air bag deployed without a collision while the consumer was driving a t40-50 mph.she did not hit anything. She was on a paved road and did not go over any big bumps in the road.the srs light was coming on and going off intermittently a couple of weeks prior to this happening. No one was hurt. The dealer gave her an estimate of $2,000.00 to put it back the air bag back in. She contacted honda and they decided there was nothing wrong with the air bag.
Consumer stated upon taking delivery of vehicle, before leaving the car lot, the supplemental restraint light remained lit after all the other dashboard panel lights went out, consumer was informed by dealer that was normal and if the light did not go off within 1,000 miles to bring the vehicle back, consumer then returned the vehicle 1 month later and informed the dealer that the light was still comong on, the cause was a faulty seat sensor and the problem was supposedly corrected, however 4 months later the light illuminated again, and a new part and sensor were installed, on october 16, 2001 consumer was involved in an automobile accident in which the drivers air bag failed to deploy, however the passenger air bag did deploy.
Various problems with 2000 honda accord. *mr the alternator failed, the egr valve failed, the srs light illuminated, the driver's seat back panel had fallen due to s defective plastic anchor pin, the a/c stopped working, and the front passenger door seal at the bottom was falling off. *sc

The contact sustainedminor head and neck injuries. Upon impact, neither of the air bags deployed. He has not contacted the manufacturer. The vehicle has been repaired, and is now drivable.a police report was taken. Updated 11/29/05.

While driving, the srs light illuminated on three occasions.the part that was needed had not arrived at this time.the consumers vehicle was not included in recall# 02v080000.there was a faulty switch in the left seat belt buckle. *sc
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.
Was traveling about 65mph onhighway and another vehicle jumped in front of consumer's vehicle.he applied brakes anddual airbags didn't go off.
Consumer notice while traveling srs indication light was flashing vehicle was service by dealer technician notice air bags would not deploy due to srs needed to be replaced at owners cost. Please provide further information.ts
The srs unit for airbag deployment has failed on my 2000 honda accord lx with 104,000 miles. The honda dealers want ~$740.00 to replace this unit as there is no extended warranty or coverage beyond the manufacturers 36/36 factory warranty. Considering the essential necessity of this unit it seems unreasonable for this unit should fail within 104,000 miles and in less than 6 years. I had today 3 different honda dealerships tell me today that it can be expected that these units will begin failing at 100,000 miles! how can this be the case? isn't it reasonable to expect the safety of the airbags being deployed in a car that is in very good condition mechanically and structurally to continue for a much longer period? isn't it also to be expected that early failure of this unit should be covered either fully or partially by honda?it is reasonable to think so.i also own a 1992 and a 1994 honda accord with the same srs unit with no failures having occurred. I would like the nhtsa to investigate this matter as to premature failure occurring.
Nhtsa campaign 02v080000; honda issued an air bag inflator module recall. This vehicle was not included in the recall, however the air baglight remained on, which the owner's manual stated the air bag may not deploy. The vin was outside the remedy scope.
The srs light came on indicating that the passenger airbagwould not work.i called my honda dealer and they told me that "some" ofthe 2000 accords were covered in by anextended (10 year, 150k mile) warranty for this system. However, when they ran the vin on my 2000 accord, they informed me thatmine was not covered.they could give me no answer as to why some of 2000 were covered but mine, which has this critical safety problem, was not.honda is making a big mistake with this vital safety issue.

I was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden a car cut in front of me. Then the flow of traffic came to a complete halt. I applied my brakes. The car that cut me off, moved out from the lane i was on into the next lane. I was involved in a rear end collision with honda crv. My honda accord 2000 received major damage . The front srs airbags never functioned. This collision took place in the freeway at least 40 miles per hour. The front airbags didn't work.the honda dealership that i took my car for repairs which came out to five thousand dollars, told me that the reason the airbags didn't work was because it was not a direct hit, in other words they didn't want to be held responsible for checking the airbags or replacing them.they stated, that there was no recall from honda on the airbags. The community honda dealership just replaced the parts that where damaged in the collision.the front end of the car was damaged badly, it was pushed back approximately 3 feet.i was lucky, not to have had serious injuries. However, i don't trust the front airbags because they should of functioned and they didn't. I, strongly believe that honda motors u.s.a. Should correct the problem with the airbags at no charge.someone should investigate this problem with this vehicle the honda accord se 2000.vehicle [xxx].thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
The "srs" light comes on, indicating a problem with airbag system, both frontal and side airbags .dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem or which airbag system is having the problem.please provide further information.

We have not received an estimate on the damages from the appraiser/insurance company.vehicle was hit on the driver side on the headlight at an angle.this threw the vehicle into a ditch on the right side.the i-beam from the frame can be seen thru the bumper to illustrate the impact on both driver and passenger side.the police and the tow truck operator immediately pointed out that they felt the driver airbag should have deployed.i filed a complaint with honda consumer affairs on 5/7/01, but have not heard a word from them since.i would like to get the car inspected by a professional before anyone starts tampering with the vehicle.

Srs light remains on. Side srs comes on in turns. Dealer has stated that something in the seat needs to be replaced and we have no driver srs at this time. Vehicle is under used certified warranty but dealer states this is not covered by warranty. We puchased a honda (have owned many!) because of reliability, durability and safety.

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.
Theair bag light came on . Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and had the vehicle serviced. Later, consumer hadher son drive and unintentionally air bag deployed on the driver's side.consumertook the vehicle back to the dealer,and had the vehicle put on the diagnostic machine. Service manager said that some gravel or water may have caused the problem. However, the vehicle was not hit to cause the air bag to deploy.
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.
Consumer honda accord srs light came on and remained on.***nar received 10-12-05***the consumer stated when he placed his cell phone on the seat, that is when the srs light illuminated.the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer where they cleared the code, however the light illuminated again. The consumer was told the position detection sensor needed to be replaced again.
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.
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.
Srs light on instrument panel stays on..
Srs sensor light stays continued to come on. The partwas reset twice. However, the problem recurred.consumer was concerned that the airbags will not deploy upon impact.
While driving my srs indicator light came one. Airbags should be lifetime warranty. Problem is systemic.
Srs indicator always stay on since 07/03/2004.
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.
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.
Srs light keeps on coming on.
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.
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.
Consumer noticed the srs light on and took the vehicle to the dealership, the dealer stated that there was a defective sensor in the passenger seat cushion and the cushion would need replaced, it has been over one month and the seat cushion is still on back order.
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?
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)
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.
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.
Srs dashboard light comes on.this is a problem of many honda vehicles, and very expensive to repair, up to $700.
My car is a 2000 honda accord se.the srs light will not go off.it is going to cost a lot of money to replace part.there are may complaints about this area of concern.when is the recall going to be issued?
While driving the srs light illuminated on the dashboard. Consumer contacted the repair facility, but problem recurred.the vehicle was taken to two different repair facilities.each time the light went off for a few day then came back on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the problemwas not fixed.the air bag light is still on.
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.
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.
Srs light is on, dealership states 450.00 to correct this problem. I feel this should be a honda issue, some type of defect, they have never deployed ...how can this "wear out"as i was told by the dealership.
(1) srs indicator turned on and stays on(2) could indicate problems with the srs system.
When traveling the red srs dashboard light went on.when we returned and took it to the mechanic who has serviced this verhicle, he said that he had received a safety notice regarding this manufacturer's defect.the air bag controller was defective and the dealer refused to repair it, stating it was past the warranty. The auto is a 2000 honda accord 4 door sedan.my mechanic said when this light is on the air bags will not function--which is very dangerous, and he recommended that i contact the dot.we had to have the part replaced, at a cost of $625.00.
The vehicle's has had multiple transmission failures.the vehicles engine revved etween 4000 to 5000 rpm before the consumer noticed the vehicle was not moving forward.once the transmission slipped into gear the consumer was whip-lashed and body slammed into my seat belt.the vehicle driver seat has a sudden shift movementwhile the consumer drives that occurs intermittently as vehicle rounds sharp corners and turns.in sep 2003 sent a notice about a problem with the drivers seat loosening.the key gets stuck in the ignition.the side airbag light comes on whenthe consumer has something on the front passenger seat cushion.the consumer hears a rattle in the dash near the coin drawer.*tc
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.the contact stated that the srs light illuminated.he found a recall for the srs light; however, the dealer stated that his vin was not included.the light has not yet been repaired.the current and failure mileages were 67,000. Updated 03-04-08 the dealer told the consumer she would have to pay to get the srs tested.
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.
Dt:2000 honda accord.the srs (safety restraint system) light came on and stayed on. The consumer contacteddealership, and they said it wasprobably a switch that was under a recall.the light toldthem it something to do with the electrical system.contacted my manufacturer, they said that vehicle was notrecalled.srs light has been coming on for about a month and a half. Consumer was concerned about his family'ssafety.
Srs light is oni 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.
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.
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.
The srs light stays on and can't seem to be fixed.
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 opdssensor.
Air bag warning light on 2000 honda accord with 55,000 miles (out of warranty) due to alleged defective passenger seat sensor. Same scenario as your recently opened defect investigation for this problem (august 12, 2005). Spent close to $400 for replacement of sensor.
Srs dashboard light comes on and stays on.honda accord ex 2000.many others have similar problems.
I have been to the honda dealer/service 4 times to fix a srs malfunction.todayi 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 originallyblamed me,but when questionedhe 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 srsproblem 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 ansrs problem. It should be investigated by honda.
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.
Dt:the contact complained about the air bag sensor. The air bag sensorindicator light (srs) cameon intermittently.the light cameon every time the car was driven.the opds switch short circuited.the warranty on the switch was for only 36 months or 36,000 miles.the switch had not been repaired.updated 11/29/2005 - the consumer also had problems with the seat belts since the vehicle was purchased.this problem was brought to the attention of the dealer but they claimed there was no problem.
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.
I have a honda accord 2000 and the car has 72k. The srs warning light went on for no reason. I read on the website and this seems to be a manufacture defect. I hope honda will have a recall to fix this problem for all the owners.
Thesrs light wont go out .theair bags won't deploy if i am in a accident .
Vehicle is experiencing a problem with the air bag warning light. Owner took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that the sensors are defective causing the air bag light to come on inadvertently and deactivate the airbag, while on.provide further details.

Srs light staying on after 100k miles.
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.
1) the srs light keeps coming on. 2) passenger side seat-belt occassionally unclips itself.
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.
Safety restraint light for the air bags kept coming on.consumer has not taken vehicle to the dealer .
Srs light came on (again). Almost a year ago,i had the srs unit replaced which cost >$1200: the dealer had my car for a month - they could not figure out why the srs light wouldn't go out.
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.

I & my inlaw bought the 2000 honda accord ex in the same week (9/1999), after 7 years, the srs light came on at the same time with no incidents occurred. Also in the last couple days, the brake light came on. I called honda manufacturer, they rejected the problem because only certain vehicle they cover up to 10 years on the opds (occupant position detection system) unit, which failed and caused the srs light came on.

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.
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 onincidents.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.

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 apart wasreplaced.needless to say this was my first honda and will be my last!!!!
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.
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.

Srs light on dash...heard that it is the opds sensor going outhave not repaired yet.
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!
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.

Srs light remains on. Side srs comes on in turns. Dealer has stated that something in the seat needs to be replaced and we have no driver srs at this time. Vehicle is under used certified warranty but dealer states this is not covered by warranty. We puchased a honda (have owned many!) because of reliability, durability and safety. Does not federal law require srs on current model vehicles? how can such a company refuse to fix such a major problem>>>

Srs light comes on for no reason. The dealer resets the light and it will come back a few days later. This is differant than the passenger light.
For past few years the srs light would flick on and off. Last month it stayed on and the dealer charged me over $300 to replace the opds sensor and clear the codes.the passenger seat is generally unoccupied.i understand that you have started an investigation into this disarming of the airbag and wanted to report this.
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

Srs light came on around 80,000 miles. I have been told everything from it wasno big deal, your air bags will not work. I just wanted to know that danger, if it couldbe fixed, and if there was a warranty coverage issue. It didn'tseem to be covered by a recall, even though therewerehundreds of cases on the web of people with accords all having the same problem.
Nhtsa action number:pe05043already had service in 2009, srs problem back, dealer refused warranty corrective action.
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.
Srs warning light always on.
Dt:the consumer owns a 2000 accord coupe.the air bag light illuminated on the dashboard.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!

I am having the same problem as many other owners are with the srs indicator light staying on.it sounds like everyone is getting their alternators changed at their personal cost, but then the light turns back on after a few days and the problem is not fixed.this is dangerous as the airbags will not work properly whilst the light is on.this problem needs to be addressed.

I have taken my 2000 honda accord into the dealership multiple times because the side airbag light will intermittently come on and stay on while driving, thereby disabling the side airbag system.this occurs mostly when nobody is sitting in the passenger seat.i have taken this to three honda dealers and each and every one says that they don't know how to fix it.what do i do?i bought the car because of the protection the side bags offered, yet they seem to be inoperative a lot of the time and nobody knows how to fix them.
The ignition kay be taken out while the car is not in parking gear. The keys can switch off the car engine while its in gear and going at a speed. Its a safety concern. I spoke to honda and they would not honor this a s a safety recall.

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.

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. (air) that seems to work. The windows fog up when it is humid and the blowers won't clear them.
The green key light on the dash starts flashing and my car shuts off when i'm driving down the road. Sometimes my car will not start due to the key light not coming on at all. I have seen this problem with several honda accord's. It is very dangerous.
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.
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: 05v025000that 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?

I searched on the internet and realized that is a common problem with many honda and acura car models after any power related issue.

I will be one of the customer gives serious thought on any future honda purchases.

The above information was from the most recent incident, however this problem has existed for several years. My wife has told me about the problem with the ignition switch that allows this car to have the keys removed while the car is in drive and the engine is off (nhtsa action number peo5002). She contacted honda while in orlando fl but they said the recall was not for her vin. This is still problem and i contacted honda today and was told i could have it fixed but would have to pay for it. I am not sure but i believe this car should be included in the recall if the problem exists on it. Please let me know what i have to do so honda will comply with their recall.

Ignition key can be removed from ignition without transmission selector being put into park.according to honda the vin number is not in the range of recalls and will not repair this problem unless i pay for the repair.

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 becausethe 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).
I was driving home from work about 6.30 pm and in a flash my dash lights went out. I went to a honda dealer, they told me it was a multiplex control unit, and it was not under warranty. So i looked up ,if there was any recalls on this vehicle, their is, but honda said my vin# wasn't on their list.
The wiring throughout the vehicle affects the interior and exterior lights.the vehicle will not remain on, will crank but cuts off.have replaced 4 sensors and the alternator twice. All of the electrical components are effected.the car has never been involved in an accident. The vehicle cut offwhile in traffic traveling on the expressway.
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?
I have a 2000 honda accord vtec v6. I take good care of it, and all of a sudden all the air bag systems have shutdown indicated by the srs light. Now i am starting to have electrical failures left and right. Majority of my warning llights on, my console which include battery, all doors, trunk, and brake light lights are on. The transmission is starting to slip. I don't know if i got a bad honda from the batch, but just being 2 years old, it is experiencing some tough problems. I also have the extened honda plan upto 100,000 miles/6 yrs.. But of course the plan does not cover any of my problems. I don't have money to waste on the car that is nearly new, and i still owe 23000 on. Please help.
The key won't come out ignition. And transmission is failing. . the gear lights blimk. It throws car into an almost standstill while driving. Gears slip. It's very dangerous.
The dimmer control for the instrument panel light failed and can not see the instruments at night. There is already a report for this failure (#04v256000), for my same model year. Honda will not honor recall because my vin does not apply.
Dashboard light go out without notice and they turn back on at times. Unable to see at night the speedometer. Gears in car jerk while driving at all times from gear to gear, signs of sand like metal residue in transmission fluid when changed. I purchased the vehicle a little over a year ago and did not think much of it until it became worse and i began to research the possible issues.
Ignition switch contacts have failed - causing intermittent stalling of engine.
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
After going for a short drive my car will not restart. Found out that the pcm is defective.the computer module need to be replaced.non are available.they are discontinued.
It is possible to turn the ignition key to the offposition and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 45 mph, the instrument panel lighting failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the failure occurred once or twice a week for the past year. The failure occurred so many times that the interior lighting also failed to illuminate. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 04v256000 (interior lighting) as the cause of the failure. The dealer (joyce koon honda, 10640 automotive dr., manassas, va 20109) confirmed that the failures were identical; however, the vin was not included in the recall. The contact would be responsible for the repair cost. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 197,025.
Consumer stated every time the front doors or the electric lock buttons on the front doors are touched the consumer feels an electric shock and the problem has gradually worsened and has become unbearable.
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.
Air conditioner stopped working and all lights on hvac control panel went out. A small amount of smoke filled passenger compartment and temperature control knob became warm and loose. The plastic temperature control knob came off and i burned myself on the metal temperature control shaft which the knob attaches to.the metal temperature easily exceeded 300 degrees fahrenheit. Once the car was parked and cooled down i removed the hvac control panel from the dash.the plastic is melted where the temperature control knob is and on the inside of the control panel.i removed the circuit board from the control panel and it smells like burned electronics.the circuit board has brown burn marks and bubbling on the board itself.the entire hvac control unit will have to replaced at the cost of $200-$300.
The coilpacks have caused misfirings. The car runs rough as if it is going to stall. The engine light continues to blink.

Srs light lights up along with the side airbag light.
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.
Consumer states that when turning on the head lights the dashboard lights will not come on. Contacted dealer.nlm
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.
Dt: the tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it isin reverse. Now it shifts slugishly.

Intermittent ignition switch function.
I own a 2000 honda accord that i purchased brand new. The car has been shutting down while i am on the road with no warning. This happens at different speeds. Also when i pull over the engine will start immediately, but now it is hard to start and will stall immediately after starting it. I took my car to dealer on 6/7/11. The dealership had my car until june 9, 2011, but said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. So far i have been lucky that nobody has been behind me when the car has died. I called the dealer again on 6/18/11 and spoke with anita, who made it seem like i was crazy. She said they would have checked for any open recalls. I looked on line and i found that this has been an ongoing problem for other honda owners. My car has 103,000 miles, and this started happening in february, but is occurring more frequently. I did some research and found out that you investigated this under campaign number 02v120000 but i didnt see that 2000 accords were included in this.

When my 2000 honda accord ex v6 was about 2 years old, the light display on my audio tuner/cd went out.i thought someone just needed to change the display to get the light back on, but it turned out that the whole unit needed to be replaced.the dealer did replace it free, but not until i pushed them to see the technical service bulletins.today, about 2 years after the unit was replaced, i started my car to find that the light was on, but the audio unit was not producing any sound.i am calling the dealer today, but i am concerned because i have never had to replace a radio on a car at all, now i am going to replace it twice on a car that is 4 years old.some how i don't think this is going to be gratis.
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.

In may of 2008 my 2000 honda accord lost power while driving and would not restart. All of the gas ran out from the front of the car. The computer board had gone out. The computer board was replaced by another mechanic and then was towed to the honda dealership to be reprogrammed. Since then it has gone back and was diagnosed with misfires. The coil packs , plugs and wires, fuel injectors, egr valve all have been replaced. The car is still spitting and sputtering like it is running on 4 cylinders and it is a v6. I have researched and there seems to be alot of these problems. Also the srs light stays on and you can turn the car off and remove the key without the car being in park. I never received any kind of recall from the dealerships on this recall. This car was bought new in 2000.

Over the past few years, my honda accord experienced electrical problems in the instrument panel on the dashboard. The light would flicker off and on while driving during the night. Eventually that flickering stopped and the whole interior light in the dashboard failed to illuminate. I took it in to a certified ase auto mechanic and he said there was a safety recall on this particular issue and to check my mail and files for any letters. I found a letter in my files dating back to july 2004 stating a safety recall on 2000-2001 accord lx v6 models for the multiplex control unit in the dashboard had to be replaced due to heat buildup and can cause accidents because the inside dashboard lights will not illuminate. I took the car to the fairfax honda dealer in virginia and they could not honor my recall because my vin# did not call for it. I contacted honda consumer affairs about my problem and they told me my car was listed as a honda accord lx 4-cylinder. I spoke to a rep. Named andrea. After checking my files more thoroughly, they confirmed my car was a honda accord ex v6.the recall was for a lx v6, not a ex v6. The only difference is that the ex has a different trim then the lx, but the problem was the same, due to heat build up the instrument panel may not display lights. This is very dangerous for a driver and this problem needs to be addressed and resolved before someone gets injured. Honda corporation should provide a workaround or take full responsibility of their defect.

Compare with diff gps, highway milestones etc. The speedometer is not correct. I have asked and compare with other honda owners and they have noticed the same problem.i took/complain to car dealer and they have noticed the problem as well, but they cannot fix it, its a manufacturing defect. While compare with gps speed and speedometer on car, car's speedometer is running faster by 5 mph more.i understand from an internal source, that it's a hondas dirty practice to convince customer that honda provides better mileage efficiency while comparing other cars.can you look in to it, please?[xxx]

I was told by many that this was a very common problem with the '1998 to '2002 accord v6 models which used this delphi built alternator.complete alternator failure caused the srs and abs lights to come on due to a low voltage condition in the car's electrical system possibly rendering both of these important safety systems useless with the warning lights on. The battery light never came on. I replaced the alternator with a bosch unit as i did not want the problem to occur again. I called honda in ca to inform them of this problem on 1/18/06. I still have the defective oem alternator.
I purchased a new 2000 honda accord v6 in june of 2000.it is now 4 1/2 years old and has fewer than 18,000 miles.about 1 week ago i started hearing a whine or whirr and took it to the dealer today (12/15/04).it checked out to be a bad alternator, and they said it would be over $500 to fix!!i found seven complaints on this site and all of them (including mine) share a defective air bag light which comes on intermittently.mine has been coming on since almost day 1.honda dealership told me back then it was due to some clothes or cushion blocking some sensor at the back of the seat and was nothing to worry about.i have had maintenance done every 3 months or so, the most recent of which was december 4, 2004.at that time, there was no whine, no engine warning lights, or any indication of anything wrong, but i was told i needed a new battery.i was surprised to hear that, but now i know why. It was a few days after that i began hearing the noise that was today diagnosed as a bad alternator.again, good maintenance record, fewer than 18000 miles, no warning lights, bad alternator.i am driving 300 miles this coming saturday and am scared to death--hoping that it is fixed completely and that nothing else goes wrong.i hope this gets some attention from nhtsa!.
Alternator failure.driving 60 mph alternator failed along with battery.vehicle completely shut down at 60 mph at night in the desert.vehicle almost caused major accident. Alternator replaced three times already.possible passenger side air bag issue.
Sudden battery failure causes loss of power, steering, and all-around control of the car. Alternator has been replaced by selling dealer three times within one year. Dealer insists that the alternators have all gone bad. No diagnosis for what may be causing alternator failure.*la
The seat belt, brake,door, emergency and srs lights were constantly burning at different times on the consumers 200 honda accord. The dealer replaced the alternator.
My 2000 honda accord v-6 has approximately 85,000 miles on it and i have had very few problems.always took to dealer for maintenance/repair.i had the alternator replaced in june 2005, and within 2 weeks of getting the car back, the srs light came on.i called the dealer and they said i should bring the car in right away.i paid $68 to have the system "tested" and was told i needed to replace the entire computer system for the air bags at a cost of $575, or i could have them reset it and it may or may not come back on.i asked what happens when the light was on and was told that the airbags just won't work.i opted for the reset.now, 2 weeks later, the light is back on.i have done some internet research and have found that not only is this a known problem, but the "cures" that are suggested by the dealer are all over the map.i find it incredible that honda is not responsible for this defect in a mandated safety device.my family will hold honda responsible if i am injured or killed due to a non-inflating airbag.i do not believe the company is taking the airbag issue seriously.my daughter was thankfully not killed in a serious accident last june in her civic, whose airbags did not deploy when she was hit with such force that it tore the front engine housing off her car and resulted in a total loss.the honda folks told us then that sometimes the car isn't "hit the right way" and the sensors don't register that the airbags should deploy.i think the same government that requires these devices be installed on all cars (and the ones we pay for when purchasing the cars) should hold the car makers/dealers responsible for making sure they are operable.
Summary:on the 2000 honda accord after having problems with the alternator the air bags would be useless in a crash unless honda services the vehicle and erases the failure code the computer is reporting.i recently had the alternator in my 2000 accord ex v6 replaced because it was not working.after it was replaced the srs (air bag) light was on and would not turn off.i then went to the local honda service center and they told me that because the alternator was not powering the computer that controls the airbags with the correct voltage it triggered the failure light.i was then told that while the light is on the air bags are disabled and would not be deployed in the event of a crash.i then told the employee that this was the stupidest thing i have ever heard, and is there any way to reset the system.i was told the car would have to be serviced and hooked up to their computer system to reset the cars internal computer (at a cost of $89.00).i set up an appointment to have this done next week but got to thinking how this is truly a safety issue.the system shouldreset itself when everything is normalso the consumer does not have todrive around in a car with air bags that do not deploy in the event of a crash.to have the car disable this vital part of its safety features because the voltage dropped below a certain point makes no sense.i can see it detecting an error but then when everything is back to normal it should reset.now the car is working perfectly but because the computer detected that one error now the air bags will not work at all until honda resets it (and takes $89.00).
Delphi alternator failed.first noticed due to noise coming from alternator. With no dash warning lights on, voltage measured as low as ~8 volts, and engine then stalled completely when high beam lights were switched on.confirmed wiring good, removed discharged battery, recharged battery, battery condition load-tested good, and warning light finally came on only after running engine at idle and then ~3000rpm for ~5 minutes.voltage monitoring confirmed only battery voltage had been present long before warning light came on.alternator should not have failed this soon, but not having an immediate warning indication that charging system has failed is a very unsafe condition.(luckily the car stalled in my garage, not minutes before in middle of traffic.
Dt:while the consumerhusband was driving, the vehicle stopped with no warning.he was sitting in traffic and then pushed the vehicle to the side of the road.it was then towed to the dealership, and they found the alternator failed.the alternator was replaced. Updated 12/07/05.
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.
The srs airbag light came on at approximately 69,000 mi.the car was taken to dealer and no fault codes were found on the computer.i had the delphi alternator load tested and determined that could be the culprit.during this time, i also had both of my headlamps burned out within weeks of each other.i replaced the alternator with an aftermarket one and have not had any problems since.
The horn button is located at the very center of the steering wheel and only at the one spot. During an emergency situation the horn is very difficult to find and most of the time you miss it. This results in a dangerous situation being made worse.in the time i have the car there have been three situations where i could not find the horn, pounding on the steering wheel uselessly.there should be a three or a four point horn button.
At firstrightlight blewout; then,left side light went out.consumer felt unsafe because there wasa chance of being rear ended. Consumer while traveling on highway a motorist told him that consumer had no brake lights this was the second time inone year due to horn shortening out, first the left brake light and then the right one, also shifter will not come out of park unless the emergency release is used.

Picked car up from mechanic and car also had srs light on.researched online since i already have recall for dash light.found many other honda owners with same srs light.found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated.also, called honda and they said i was beyond the mileage (80k) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement.asked what honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made.i have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission.so when i'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy.my seat weld joint broke at 54k too!i used a 99 toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat.my accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! this car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing.honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.
While traveling on the highway the vehicle will shut down without prior warning.please fill in additional information dealer is aware of the problem. Ts
My srs light stays on all the time
The srs light is on and the airbag lights cone on
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.
Transmission failed but car was far past the extended warranty that existed from the 2006 class action lawsuit covering this make/model vehicle.dealership never informed the existence of a recall.
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.
When car is driven during hot days and you turn the car off, it will not start again tell the car cools off. This happens during the summer months.now that the car is older, it will not start at all during some of the hot days. This include when i start the car for first time that day. Took the car in once years ago and they said they fixed it but i keep having the same problem. They wanted to charge me more money to try to fix it again. Front passage headlights always been foggy. Car also never hugged the road right. Dealership could never find the problem.

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.
My 2000 honda accord v6 3.0 vtec engine is having some issuesafter it heats up wheni 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.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
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.

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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.after driving the vehicle short distances, the engine became hot and the contact attempted to restart the vehicle.the vehicle would start, shake, and then shut off.the vehicle has been taken to a dealer twice, but they were unable to duplicate the failure.the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 02v12000 (electrical system:ignition:switch).the current mileage was 90,621 and failure mileage was 83,000.

I owned a 2000 honda accord lx 4 door sedan with automatic transmission. The car has 34,672 miles. The car makes loud noise when accelerating. I found a honda service bulletin (00-038) that was similar to my problem, but it only cover v6 models.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.after the vehicle was started, the air bag and service engine indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.the vehicle was driven to the dealer and they performed a diagnostic, but found no defects.immediately following, the contact noticed that the cooling fan would remain activated for long periods of time after the vehicle was turned off.she also stated that she could only place half a tank of gasoline in the vehicle.the vehicle would stall when it had a full tank of fuel.the vehicle was driven to the dealer a second time for a diagnostic and no defects were found.the cause of the failures have not been determined.the manufacturer has not been notified and the vehicle has not been repaired.the current mileage was 199,259 and failure mileage was 180,000.

After driving the vehicle for a while, the vehicle has a problem with restarting. Vehicle would hesitate for a while and you need to apply the accelerator pedal to the floor before starting. Vehicle has been to two separate dealers. The first dealer replaced the erg valve. And the problem recurred and the second dealer replaced the fuel pressure regulator kit and the problem still recurring. . check engine light continues to appear on dashboard. Intermittent stalling. Dealer removed and replaced egr valve/removed intake manifold and cleaned ports.
The case # is n012005121900955.this is my story: i was driving north on i-5 in heavy traffic. When i slowed down to about 40 miles an hour my car just died. I was able to barely able start the car and slowly drove off the off the road less than 50 feet. I barely made it off the road. I had no clue happened. Up to that point car ran good. Fortunately i was on the far right lane. It could have been disastrous with all the traffic. I wonder if any accidents have been caused by harmonic balancer coming loose and loosing all power?both fan belts were off. Upon further inspection by the hi way rescue team, he noticed that the harmonic balancer was not inline.i called tacoma honda the following morning and inquired about the harmonic balancer coming loose on honda engines and the service manager said he hasn't heard any problems. So i had the car towed to a mechanic friend of mine, vin, and he repaired. Vin informed me that he worked on one who had the same thing happen about the same day on a 1999 honda with less miles. Also his friend had a harmonic balance come loose on a prelude. I don't know what year this car was made. This cannot be just a tacoma, washington problem.i asked the parts manager about harmonic balancers coming loose and he said he has heard of it.a harmonic balancer should never come loose for 2 reasons. One, it is tighten so tight that you can not loosen it with a impact wrench. Two, it turn against the direction of the thread.this is what carla told me this morning that she is not aware of any problems similar to what i experienced. I will wait for a week for any feedback from you. If your research finds no problems with harmonic balancer coming loose i would like to know. You should be able to find out how many harmonic balancers has been sold or replaced. I will write to nhtsa to see if this is a fluke that happened in tacoma or more widespread.
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
2004 honda accord developed a cold fast idle of 1500 rpm for 2-6 minutes..***no answer required***.*mr
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.repgave 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 someonebought 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).
Vehicle idle real low and shut off when stop.when that happen i restart engine, put it in drive and vehicle will shut off again. In order to make it stay running, i have to give it some gas while i have a foot on the brake.
With 46,270 miles,two head bolts broke resulting in the failure of the head gasket.the vehicle did not overheat until after the gasket failed.the dealer has "suggested' that the bolts were over torqued after manufacturer, however, i purchased this vehicle new and no work has been done on it that would involve the head bolts. Repair involved a new gasket kit and 12 new bolts.i have the old bolts.
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).
The engine leaked coolant.*nlm
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.
If temperature warms up during winter, fuel will boil over and flood the engine preventing the engine from starting up.
Radiator is not protected in the front of vehicle . Therefore, any object could demage the radiator, and that's what happend to radiator in consumer's vehicle.
I bought my honda accord thisseptember. 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 optionalthings 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 thecar 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 isin 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.
During a normal drive and then a stop at a red light, car's engine stalls. After auto shop examination, the conclusion was that the ball bearing in the engine's tensioner locked up, thus throwing the timing belt off and bending valves due to incorrect timing. A whole new engine was required to fix it because of the extensive damage. Old engine has been removed and replaced and i don't think it would be available.
At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on.took accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared.the mechanic said to take to honda due to recall for this part.

Dt: the tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it isin reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealerto the dealer twice andthey couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is themotor mounts. The first time this happened was in october of 2002. Dash board lighting goes blank.a faulty multiflex light unit was found.front brakes worn.check engine light was on.found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced.srs light is on.faulty opds unit was found.
The balancer shaft oil seal failed prior to recall notice causing oil to leak from the front of the engine, the consumer requested reimbursement but has not received a reply or reimbursement.nlm
Experiencing a thump as the ingition is released from the start position or as the engine starts.this noise occurs only on a cold start,usually overnight. Dealer mechanic tells me thatthe noise appears to be coming from the rear motor mount. Honda has issued a service bulletin pertaining to this noise,but the dealer mechanic tells me that hnnda's service engineers tells him that the service bulletin pertains to the honda 4cyl only, and not the 6cylit seems to me that the service bulletin issued for the 2000 honda 4cyl. Should also cover the 2000 honda 6cyl. In closing i might add that this same type noise has also been heard in the honda 2001 6cyl. Thank you for your help.
While driving, the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard and remained on.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection.the mechanic informed the consumer that the engine needed to be replaced.please provide further details.
Upon inspection ofvehiclemechanic discovered thatoil panwas leaking attiming belt cover. Please provide further information.
My "malfunction indicator lamp' on my 6 cylinder 2000 honda accord came on. The dealer let me know that their diagnosticspointed to a problem with cylinder #4. He had me authorize a $1000 "tear down the engine" estimate in case my extended warranty didn't cover the repair. American honda corp sent their adjuster to determine that it was excessive carbon build up in the engine which is not covered by my extended warranty. The dealer had the parts sent to a machinist to determine if there is a damaged part in the cylinder that would be covered under warranty. I have been given a $2300 approximate repair bill to pay on my own if no damage is found. Not that long ago, i spent $300 at the dealership cleaning a carbon build up problem that was causing my accelerator to stick.
Dt:the vehicle is a 2000 honda accord v6 ex, the cylinder has a cracked head.on 6-18-05 consumerwas drivingwhen white smoke came out of the dual exhaust. Consumerhad vehicle towed to the dealership.they told her that it was because of the cracked cylinder head.the coolant mixed with the oil andcaused hot steamto comefrom the vehicle.previously the srs light came on. Consumer believed that it meant the air bagsweredisabled. Nothing has been done to fix the vehicle.it is currently at the dealership.
Check engine lights on - making driver thinking there's something wrong with engine.since i have a child i took my car to manchester honda, found that my gas cap was not on tight.manchester honda charged me $163 and this is the biggest scam honda ever does this and how many people did they do this too...
I have had my transmission go out twice in my 2000 honda accord.each time, the gears start clunking while shifting and shortly after the transmission fails and is completely useless.currently, my car will rev up like it's in neutral and then spontaneously slam into gear and slip back into neutral again which has, again, ruined the transmission.this is a recurrent problem and nothing has been done to make the issue better.
I have a 2000 honda accord lx v6 4door sedan.after the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes, the engine failed to start after it was shut off for 5-10 minutes.the first time this happened, the car was only 2 years old.each time i try to restart the engine, the engine would turnover and run for about 2 seconds and then stalled.each time i would have to depress the gas to get the engine going and if i release the gas, the engine would die. The engine sounds like it's running out of gas and just die.the strange part is if i can get the car in gear and drive with the gas applied for about one block, the engine would return to normal.this can be dangerous since i have to depress the gas and brake at the same time so the vehicle would stay in control.i went to the dealer and they hooked up some kind of computer to the car and they said they were unable to find any problem.the accord is a nice car but this constant engine-starting problem needs to be addressed.
3 transmission leaks as of 04/04/2000: at third leak - replacing transmission...oil leak: engine replaced due to indentation b/w valve cover & block.received 5yr/60k bumper-bumper warrenty.
Surge on acceleration. From a cold start my carexcels 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.
It happens during acceleration, driving and stop and go traffic. The most dangerous times when it happened is when trying tomerge onto highway traffic.
Engine hesitates when pressing accelerator traveling between 20-40 mph. Engine pings loses power after car sits for 10 to 15 minutes when air temp. Is above 60 degrees.
When driving at any speed withoutprior warning vehicle stalls and cuts off, causing loss of vehicle control. Problem occurs more often when vehicle is at a stand still. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
I backed out of a parking spot and proceeded through the parking lot and turned left onto busy road.all of the sudden the car shut off and i was stuck in the middle of oncoming traffic.i was able to re-start the engine and made it safely to my next stop.when i tried to start the engine again it started but shut off right away.this happened several times.i had the vehicle towed to the dealership and it started when it got there and they said it was probably due to the type of gas i used.they said that gas stations switch to a different type of fuel in the fall/winter and that it can cause this to happen.y
1. 3.0 l v-6 engines hesitates under slight load or acceleraion between 5 and 60 mph.honda refuses any attempt at repair."a characteristic of that car"
The honda accord 3.0 v-6 engine has a hesitiation problem at all speeds anytime that the engine is placed upon a slight load condition, such as going up any grade.honda indicates that they consider this to be an acceptable 'driveability condition' and refuse to even attempt to correct.i have been advised by another honda service representative that honda has attempted many times to correct the problem but have been unable to do so.that being the case, honda should be forced to state in all their sales promotional literature to prospective buyers that the 3.0 v-6 has a driveability condition which honda can not or will not be fixing.if i had been made aware of the 'driveability problem' before the purchase, i would never have purchased the automobile, but would have gone to another manufacturer.
I have reason to believe the accord i purchased is unsafe. There is a hesitation at 40 mph. I feel unsafe in this vehicle, and that if someone were following to closely when the hesitation occurs and my cars speed decreases then i am subject to possibly be rear ended potentially causing myself or passengers to be injured. I was never told of this so called normal function as honda has stated. I feel as though i should have been told and the vehicle has been misrepresented, and that i at that time could have opted to purchase another vehicle. Honda refuses to do anything, i have spoken to and written about this to them. Thank you.
Either engine siezed (0w-20 oil) or inadvertent air bag depolyment.
Car was idling at a stop light when suddenly the engine almost stopped running. Seemed like it had only 1 or 2 cylinders working. Was able to get to a parking lot, turn off engine, wouldn't restart. Towed in to shop and found gasoline filling 3 cylinders (6 cyl. Engine). Broke a connecting rod, replaced engine.
Consumer stated on 2 occassions the vehicle would not start, the dealer attributed the problem as the consumer flooding the engine, also after the oil has been changed the engine gives off a burning smell for a short time.
No summary listed for above vehicle.

Sirs:we have had two problems with our 2000 accord ex from time of purchase that our dealer, crown honda, has been unable to resolve. The first problem is the car has a stutter within the first mile driven when started. The second is a problem with the supplemental restraint system.
The entire electrical system is affected by the use of the blinkers when the car is cold.the engine will not start until the fourth attempt at least once monthly.

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.
Engine check light came on for the second time within a year.the first time i was told that the computer was too sensitive and they had to order a new computer - wait was approx 3-4 months.this happened at 3600 miles and was covered under warranty.less than a year later the engine check light came on, and the dealer told me it was oxygen sensor and it had to be replaced.the emission control system is unreliable for this to happen within 53k miles.
Surge on acceleration. From a cold start my carexcels 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.

Http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2000/honda/accord/interior+lighting . I recently had this issue happen to my car while i was driving and i feared about not being able to get home that night. My dash lights went out and my tail lights and signal lights, but my headlights were still working. The recall includes only some 2000 honda accord models, and not all of them. Like the ones in the forum listed i myself was not included in this recall.

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.
Lights blinking out on dashboard while driving...works periodically
My nighttime dashboard lights have stopped working on my honda accord ex v6.i can no longer see my gauges at night.doing some searching it appears that the multiplex control unit may have failed.it looks like honda has recalled this on 2000 accord lx v6 but not the ex.
When car is driven during hot days and you turn the car off, it will not start again tell the car cools off. This happens during the summer months.now that the car is older, it will not start at all during some of the hot days. This include when i start the car for first time that day. Took the car in once years ago and they said they fixed it but i keep having the same problem. They wanted to charge me more money to try to fix it again. Front passage headlights always been foggy. Car also never hugged the road right. Dealership could never find the problem.
The dashboard illumination lighting failedon my honda 2000 accord ex v6 while driving during night time. The dimmer switch had no response to its control. Right now there is no lighting in the dashboard.
Takata recall i am afraid to drivbe my car because of these issues
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.
When the vehicle was first started, thebrake light illuminated andstayed on until the pads warmed up a little.the problem has occurred more than ten times with this vehicle.failure only occurred when it was cold outside. Consumer was informed that the failure was do to a sensor that didn't sit right and it caused the light to illuminate.*ph
The brake lights were failing intermittently without my knowledge.the only indication was that the automatic console shifter would not unlock sometimes.both conditions were caused be a defective switch under the brake pedal.
Consumer states brake lights failed. Dealer notified.
Stop lights do not work. No indicator light to warn driver that lights are not working.(bulbs are not burned out,stop light switch is working)
I & my inlaw bought the 2000 honda accord ex in the same week (9/1999), after 7 years, the srs light came on at the same time with no incidents occurred. Also in the last couple days, the brake light came on. I called honda manufacturer, they rejected the problem because only certain vehicle they cover up to 10 years on the opds (occupant position detection system) unit, which failed and caused the srs light came on.
At firstrightlight blewout; then,left side light went out.consumer felt unsafe because there wasa chance of being rear ended. Consumer while traveling on highway a motorist told him that consumer had no brake lights this was the second time inone year due to horn shortening out, first the left brake light and then the right one, also shifter will not come out of park unless the emergency release is used.
While driving at night with headlights on they will cut off without prior warning, leaving consumer without a vision of the road. Dealer was contacted.
All makes and models with halogen or hi intensity headlights are unsafe for on-oming drivers over 45. They hide features with a great deal of dangerous dazzling from light hitting "floaters" and cataracts that may be forming, andbouncing around within normal, but aging, eyes. Please investigate this age-related danger and take them off the road!
The srs airbag light came on at approximately 69,000 mi.the car was taken to dealer and no fault codes were found on the computer.i had the delphi alternator load tested and determined that could be the culprit.during this time, i also had both of my headlamps burned out within weeks of each other.i replaced the alternator with an aftermarket one and have not had any problems since.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated when driving the vehicle in hot weather the engine would shut off, and restart independently the failure would occur without the key being in the ignition. The dealer advised there was a technical service bulletin available for the failure but no recalls. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 85,000.
Honda admits a problem with the 2000 redesign of their v6 engines. This causes a vapor lock type problem, which has caused my car to be difficult to start on 7 occasions. On one occasion, the car started but then died again as i backed out of a parking space, which could have resulted in an accident if there had been oncoming traffic. Honda told me that they fixed the problem during a service on january 31, 2000. When i reported that the car still has problems, i was told that the previous fix was not the definitive fix after all. They say they are waiting for epa approval of the definitive fix. If this is true, they should be forced to issue a recall, not just a service bulletin, since a safety hazard exists when the car dies in traffic.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord ex. The contact stated that the vehicle would not restart after it was turned off. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised him that the pcm and the fuel pressure regulator needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired for the fuel pressure regulator. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.after the vehicle was started, the air bag and service engine indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.the vehicle was driven to the dealer and they performed a diagnostic, but found no defects.immediately following, the contact noticed that the cooling fan would remain activated for long periods of time after the vehicle was turned off.she also stated that she could only place half a tank of gasoline in the vehicle.the vehicle would stall when it had a full tank of fuel.the vehicle was driven to the dealer a second time for a diagnostic and no defects were found.the cause of the failures have not been determined.the manufacturer has not been notified and the vehicle has not been repaired.the current mileage was 199,259 and failure mileage was 180,000.
Strongfuel emission in cab of vehicle.
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.

Egr port valve ,air bag light.
I have difficult starting the honda, it happened more than ten times. It only happen when the car is warm - never a cold morning. You can force it to start by putting more gas thru the accelerator. But when i put the car in drive it will die on the rolling.this almost caused me an accident.i took the car to the dealer, the honda dealer cannot find any thing wrong with it.i search on the database and it might be related to a vapor lock issue with the honda accord 2000 v6. (odi-719977).please investigate and issue some hazard warning to the public.
I recently purchased a 4 cylinder, 2000 honda accord, lx with 35000 miles on it.the next day, i noticed that the gas pedal was not responding to slight foot pressure when the car was first used in the morning.it seemed to be sticking and then suddenly respond to foot pressure. Because of this condition, the car would suddenly lurch forward when pressing on the accelerator pedal.i took the vehicle to the dealer who told me it was an inherent problem with the 2000 accord and told me there was no remedy or recall for the problem.they didn't tell me that when i bought the car.i then took the car to a local auto service business whom i have been dealing with for over 15 years.they told me the problem was caused by a build-up of carbon on the accellerator linkage- especially in the 2000 honda.i had him clean the deposit ($60 plus $4.50 for carbon solvent) which immediately remedied the sticking.he told me that it should be done every 10k miles or whever it becomes sticky again.i really believe this is a safety issue and honda should come up with a correction and recall of all 2000 accords that may be affected.do i have any recourse with honda?have you received any other complaints about this?any suggestions would be appreciated.thank you.
My 2000 honda accord se start to developing a problem during the last sevreral months.when it is started first time in the morning after parked overnight, the throttle of the car feels stucked. I have to press the throttle really hard to get rid of the stuck, by doing so, the vehicle will accelarate absurdly because of the hard pressing on the throttle pedal(i.e., at first it isstucked, when you push the throttle pedal really hard, the throttle willget loose suddenly and the vehicle starts to accelerate absurdly)
On three separate occassionsmy car would not start. I had to make several attempts and eventually it would start but would not stay running unless i kept giving it gas. Theservice manager said the problem was caused by the winter fuel formula. This was causing a boiling of the fuel and a vapor lock condition. He also said honda was aware that this was happening only in the v6 and they were working on a fix. To date i have not been notified by honda or my dealer that a fix is available.
I purchased a certified used car from dublin honda with a little over 7k miles, around the 12th of august 2001. My car started stalling while driving when the gas tank was between 1/4-1/8 tank. I also noticed a black flap hanging under my car and a lot of duct tape wrapped around the front axel and caught on the tires. It took three trips to the service department. They finally removed the fuel tank and found damage fuel tank damage and damage under fuel pump. They said but did not put in writing that there was a patch on an area of the damage. They asked me what i had hit, which i hadn't hit as there was a patch repair in the area. I have not hit anything. Therefore honda sold me a car that was damaged and did not report this to me. What i really want is honda to replace my car with a new one. I know that it is illegal to sell a damaged car without the purchasers notified of any defects, etc. And i was not. My car stalled while driving 75 miles and hour on a very busy freeway and therefore i could not get off the freeway and had too many near misses from other cars to want to remember. I thought at what point that i was going to die out there. I could see the headlines. "hospice nurse dies on freeway after visiting patient."
Fuel line was leaking gas. Dealer has inspected and agreed with the problem.
The wires that connect to the fuel injectors appear to have their insulation melted away revealing the copper wire.multiple injector wires are involved.the insulation is missing a third of the circumferance and about 17mm in length.i suspect excess engine heat has caused this defect.the defect was only spotted when the plastic engine cover was removed during in installation of a aftermarket cruise control device.
Accelerator sticks when car has been sitting for a while causing excessive acceleration during first pedal depression.potential problem in tight parking lot situations.dealer not contacted.car out of warranty.
Car fuel injection system completely failed in heavy traffic almost causing a major collision on i-94 in chicago, il. The main relay system had to be replaced. This is a major hazard, and honda must be forced to look into this. This is the same car where the transmission had to be completely replaced within a year. Something must be done, for the safety of drivers and other vehicle drivers who may be involved in these vehicle failures.
Accelerator pedal stuck when my car was cold.the second time it happen is was parrallel parking, the car was cold and the pedal stuck on open throttle.
Engine check light went on twice. Took vehicleto dealer, and they said fuel filler: cap was not on properly.then,it was electrical system causingengine light to come on.a week later,srs light came on, indicating something wrong with airbag and seatbelts.
In may of 2008 my 2000 honda accord lost power while driving and would not restart. All of the gas ran out from the front of the car. The computer board had gone out. The computer board was replaced by another mechanic and then was towed to the honda dealership to be reprogrammed. Since then it has gone back and was diagnosed with misfires. The coil packs , plugs and wires, fuel injectors, egr valve all have been replaced. The car is still spitting and sputtering like it is running on 4 cylinders and it is a v6. I have researched and there seems to be alot of these problems. Also the srs light stays on and you can turn the car off and remove the key without the car being in park. I never received any kind of recall from the dealerships on this recall. This car was bought new in 2000.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).subject: honda accord - mileage/speedometer is not working properlydear sir, i have a honda accord 200 and its speedometer is not working properly. Compare with diff gps, highway milestones etc. The speedometer is not correct. I have asked and compare with other honda owners and they have noticed the same problem.i took/complain to car dealer and they have noticed the problem as well, but they cannot fix it, its a manufacturing defect. While compare with gps speed and speedometer on car, car's speedometer is running faster by 5 mph more.i understand from an internal source, that it's a hondas dirty practice to convince customer that honda provides better mileage efficiency while comparing other cars.can you look in to it, please?[xxx]
Honda, 2000 accord, idling problem - fail to start when the engine is warm (after a long drive-restart).add gas to accelerator to get it start, but will experience rough idling and engine die again.
Engine will fire and then immediatly stall if engine is already warm.otherwise it will run fine.a trouble code was taken from the computer (p1399) which honda tells me does not exist for a 2000 accord.another honda rep told me that the fuel pressure regulator does not read well with "winter fuels" in warmer (50-60f) weather.the warrantee on this part only goes to 80,000 miles.
Transmission failed but car was far past the extended warranty that existed from the 2006 class action lawsuit covering this make/model vehicle.dealership never informed the existence of a recall.
Fuel line is leaking
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!
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.
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.
My 2000 honda accord v6 3.0 vtec engine is having some issuesafter it heats up wheni 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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that the lighting and gauges on the instrument panel would not illuminate or provide any readings. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis, who stated the multiplex control unit would have to be replaced. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 04v256000 (interior lighting) but was advised by the manufacturer that the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
Dash light on instrument panel comes and goes darkening the entire dashboard while driving at night. Vehicle was stopped at night by police on dark highway along coastline road due to driving too slow creating a traffic hazard for others. Driver could not see panel to gauge speed.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that all the lights on the dashboard failed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the failure was consistent with nhtsa recall campaign number: 04v256000 (interior lighting) but the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 93,000.
Dash board lights went off without any warning signs. The entire instrument panel was invisible in night. It is a safety issue as i could not read any of the instrument panels. The car was taken to honda dealership for failure analysis and repairs. They found that the multiplex unit on the driver side of the car had failed and needs replacement. Honda has already issued recall for the same component for the same problem for the same model year (2000) car as mine, but since my vin# was not part of recall, they refused to honor the recall. At this point i had to pay $428.00 to get the car fixed. I would like nhtsa to take this up honda to get this taken care as part of recall as this has been one of the common problem in this model year. Therecall campaign number for this problem in nhtsa database is 04v256000 and hondarecall number is p36.

My 2000 honda accord ex multiplex control unit malfunctioned causing my dash lights to go out and i can't see my dash panel at night ie. Speedometer. This is a safety issue and i am a single mom with 2 young kids and haven't owned the car for even a year and less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles and nothing i did caused the multiplex control unit to malfunction and there is a recall on this already for 2000 honda accord but american honda has given my several excuses as well as the salesperson at the dealership called and was told a different answer one was with the plant car came from.one was if it was a v6 then one was having an lx model one was with saying the mileage issue or they would fix it. Basically just a bunch of bs over and over. They need to honor their recall. Honda is supposed to be a safe dependable car and now i have a safety issue with driving and i am nurse and have to use my car for work and oncall but a night can't see the dash lights. I also have my srs light on which is another issue which my total airbag system needs to be replaced with a warranty on it as well but not with my exactly problem which there is another manufacturer malfunction but won't fix as well when nothing i did with either safety issues caused these to malfunction and american honda is aware and has recalls on these but won't honor the recalls with my 2000 honda accord.

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

The window regulators and power door locks on the honda's i own keep failing and cost more than 300 dollars to repair. This seems to be a systemic problem on the honda's. I have had this happen on all 4 doors of my 2000 honda accord and 2 doors on my 2004 honda pilot. Honda needs to do a recall and fix this issue. People shouldn't have to pay for a systemic issue in the car, which can be a safety issue as well as you can't put the windows down or up once this happens.

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.
Dashboard light go out without notice and they turn back on at times. Unable to see at night the speedometer. Gears in car jerk while driving at all times from gear to gear, signs of sand like metal residue in transmission fluid when changed. I purchased the vehicle a little over a year ago and did not think much of it until it became worse and i began to research the possible issues.
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.
2000 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to transmission failure.the consumer stated while driving one night, the vehicle started making strange noises and it would not pick up speed after braking or halting at traffic signals. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and inspected. The dealer informed the consumer, there was known recall on the vehicle regarding the transmission.the consumer stated he was never notified about the recall.
Transmission became unreliable, never shifts properly, and sometimes doesn't shift at all.i have to pull over and wait a while until traffic is clear, then i try again.
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.
While driving, transmission randomly slipped to neutral and would not go back to driving. White suv behind me ended up small colliding with my back bumper.
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.
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

Just purchased a 2000 accord on sat 8-22-15. Body looks great,runs shifts great,but when attempting oil change i realized passenger side front subframe is completelygone. Yes,gone. It's missing @4 inches of metal which has obviously rusted away,with surrounding metal rusted. Driver side looks perfect. Same part,two different places,acting completely different.
I was driving my honda accord on a residential street, when the transmission started to shift erratically.the d4 light started to flash and the 'check engine' light came on.the honda dealership that serviced the vehicle told me that the transmission had failed.this from a car that i had purchased six weeks earlier.luckily the incident happened on a vacant road and not a highway on-ramp where smooth shifting is a life or death scenario.
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.
The srs light stays on.not sure if airbags will work in a collision.dealer will try to fix with new srs control modules.speedometer head unitis up to 13% off (depending on speed)and is somewhat unresponsive to minor speed changes.disconcerting while driving in traffic since i can't verify my actual speed due to the slow to respond and inaccurate speedometer unit readout.this leads to overaccelerating or overdeccelerating while driving in traffic in an attempt to hold local speed zone laws.verified by a pgm test at local dealer.no fix for the speedometer head unitfor now...told by honda customer relations to wait for a possible fix in november 2000.the driver's power seat makes a clunking noise while driving, not sure why.finally, while driving in traffic many times when i press the accelerator pedal the car does not respond very quickly or even falls flat for a second before it goes, pretty disconcerting at times, especially at intersections.

Warning light and the vehicles can't drive more than 20 miles an hour. This happens a few times within the last 6 months. Park the car for a few days and the problem goes away for a few weeks. This has not happen on the freeway, if it has, we would have an accident for sure. It happens again 2 days ago while driving and d4 lights came on, the car can't go more than 20 miles/hr on residential street.
Transmission started slipping just outside of the 100,000 extended warranty honda did because of multiple complaints about transmission issues.
It is possible to turn the ignition key to the offposition and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.
I have had my transmission go out twice in my 2000 honda accord.each time, the gears start clunking while shifting and shortly after the transmission fails and is completely useless.currently, my car will rev up like it's in neutral and then spontaneously slam into gear and slip back into neutral again which has, again, ruined the transmission.this is a recurrent problem and nothing has been done to make the issue better.
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.

Transmission was starting to jerk forward and balking when starting from a start. Transmission started to over heat. My son said that the car seamed to just give out on highway and scared him as it caused a strange feeling of something terrible wrong. Now when transmission is put into reverse a very startling noise like a loud bang is happening. Now i am afraid to let my son because of safety reasons use it. I am on a fixed income and i always take care of this car, but this is just going to break me to try to get fixed. I have read so many complaints since i started to investigate this problem that i just can't believethat hondaand the nhtsa has not remedied this dangerous and expensive problem. I had the same problem with toyota on rusting frame rails that almost killed me and my daughter. I had to try to sell my tacoma truck at more than half its resale value, because toyota just like honda just wont admit or fix this serious problem. By the time the nhtsa did get toyota to do something about the unsafe frame rust most of us owners had already had to try to get what ever money we could try to get. It was horrible to lose all that money and try to get another vehicle. Now honda is playing with nhtsa and it is starting all over again for a lot of us honda owners.what more can us owners do to get our fair share. I know i filed a complaint against toyota and now honda. I hope nhsta does something fast because as of now i have no car to use. Lets right this now. I know that a lot of hard working people deserve better than what honda is even thinking of doing or not doing to right this problem.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that she entered a parking space, removed the key from the ignition and exited the vehicle. As she exited the vehicle, it began to roll away. The contact then realized that the vehicle was still in drive so she applied the brakes, restarted the vehicle and pulled shifted into park. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection.

Updated 02-20-13 the consumer stated there where recalls for vehicles that are the same make and models. The recall was dependent upon where the vehicle was manufactured.

2000 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to transmission problems.the consumer stated on august 5, 2010, he spent $2488.77 to have the transmission replaced. He recently began experiencing transmission problems again. It was then, he decided to do some research, and discovered there was a known issue with the automatic transmission starting with model years 2000-2003. The consumer was denied reimbursement, due to the fact the warranty had expired. Honda stated they did not why the consumer was never informed of the extended warranty.
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 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.
Speedometer is not accurate. It appears to be from 7 to 10 mph off from surrounding traffic.dealer claims it is within the 10% allowable difference.this is unacceptable.they tell us when it reads 65 we are actualling going 60. They have not provided any documentation to support the inaccuracy.
Transmission failed but car was far past the extended warranty that existed from the 2006 class action lawsuit covering this make/model vehicle.dealership never informed the existence of a recall.
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.
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.
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, anotherhonda 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.

2nd gear will not engage.
Transmission failed on 2000 honda accord v-6 at 105,000 miles. Vehicle was in motion on a city street, right off highway exit, in an area with high traffic.
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
When the key was not in the ignition switch, the gear shifted from park. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cause was not determined. Please provide more information.since purchase the key could be removed in any position of the transmission lever.*tc
2000 honda accord se with transmission problems customer is looking for reimbursement**nar**ccthe transmission failed unexpectedly.
The key won't come out ignition. And transmission is failing. . the gear lights blimk. It throws car into an almost standstill while driving. Gears slip. It's very dangerous.
Service department tested the accuracy of the speedometer unit and found it to be off by 8-10%
Car will not shift out of park without holding down key in emergency interlock near shifter. Interlock solenoid went bad.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled and did not accelerate over 20 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who inspected the failure and stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission was replaced at least four prior times by the dealer. The manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 213,000.
My air bags are takita and needs replacedi can leave my car in any gear but park and it drifts awayi have replaced my transmission 2xwith only150k miles
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.
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!
Transmission has begun slipping, jerking badly.when coming to a full stop, noticeable jerk of transmission.when starting from full stop, significant drag, then thump as transmission engages.
On may 29, 2014 our daughter was driving our car and had just dropped a friend off at the bus station, after the friend got out of the car, she pulls off and goes around a corner and the car accelerates and jumps a curb, uproots a tree, hits a parked car, which crashes into another parked car. Our car was totaled. I think the other car was totaled and the other car had moderate damage. Our daughter had a gash in her arm and a lot of bumps and bruises. My daughter is scared to death to drive. I would like to see honda fix this problem, this is not the first incident, nor will it be the last.
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 onup 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 thelarger 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.
As reported by numerous other owners, the speedometer reads about 8% faster than actual speed. Dealer refuses to do anything, says honda requires at least 10% error before it will do anything.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.the contact stated that the key could be removed from the ignition without the vehicle being placed into park.the shifter would also display that the vehicle was in park and drive at the same time.the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 05v025000 (electrical system:ignition:switch), although the failures were identical.the failure and current mileages were less than 170,000.

The transmissions on my 2000 honda accord lx v6 started slipping then erratically revving up to 4000 rpms then shift all the sudden. And most of the time when i shift to reverse it just does a huge clunk noise and a sudden hard shift then goes into reverse. My honda only have 93,000 miles.
The problem i have is the transmission leak(bleeding oil) this problem happens twice @ 22500 mi & 39929 mi.the first time happened the dealer added dye and told me to drive it for a week and bring ther car back for check up. They told me that the pressure hose is loose so they tightened it back that was find with me. But then @39929mi it happen again and i took it back to them atthe dealer in diamond bar they told me that there is no leak because the oil fliud is at the full level.but when i asked him why is that there are lots of dirtbuild up around the transmission and it is still wet(oil mix with dirt). They could not give me an answer butjust told me to drive the car back and wait to see if it still leak.this is so unprofessional.and all along i do feel that the transmission is not shifting as smooth as before. I know that there are a lot of hondas owners that have transmmision problems as well.i hope that this could be resolve. Please let me knowthanks.
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.

Honda automatic transmission are failing left and right, and the new transmission honda is replacing with are as bad as the originals.my 2000 honda accord automatic transmission failed at 53000 mile after many miles of making whistling, clicking, grinding noises and generally giving the impression you were about to be stranded.honda replaced transmission under extended warranty in march of 2005 after requiring me to spend a $100 bucks to service the old one prior to diagnostics.replacement transmission jerks and makes all kinds of noise when put in reverse and hit the gas.local honda dealer (hughes honda in warner robins, ga) tries to link it to the some brake pad alignment non-sense in an attempt to get another $130 out of me. I told the service manager to change the pads with the agreement being the dealership would absorb the cost if the transmission noise was not fixed.then the pads they just told me were worn out all of a sudden had tons of life left. The car with the same brake components and pads did not make the noise until after the new transmission was installed.honda has a real problem and should be forced via recall to address any and all transmission problems or buy the car back.
I have a 2000 honda accord vtec v6. I take good care of it, and all of a sudden all the air bag systems have shutdown indicated by the srs light. Now i am starting to have electrical failures left and right. Majority of my warning llights on, my console which include battery, all doors, trunk, and brake light lights are on. The transmission is starting to slip. I don't know if i got a bad honda from the batch, but just being 2 years old, it is experiencing some tough problems. I also have the extened honda plan upto 100,000 miles/6 yrs.. But of course the plan does not cover any of my problems. I don't have money to waste on the car that is nearly new, and i still owe 23000 on. Please help.
Within the 1st month of the vehicle being purchased a refurbished transmission was replaced on the vehicle.the srs light came on.*tcthe consumer contacted the manufacturer about the problem and they indicated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls due to vin.
Transmission replaced at 1308 miles & now the car doesn't ride smooth.at lower speed the car is jerky, hesitates, slow down very quickly as soon as you left off the gas, feels llike the brake is on.also has a noise coming from front right of car everytime i start up and pull away i hear it once.didn't hear it with the original transmission.the whole feel of the car driving is very different with the new transmission and i really don't like it. It's not smooth and flowy like the first transmission.it's verytight and feels like you constantly need gas.rides terrible on hills. I told honda that my wheels pull left on highway driving and they told me that's normal.not happy here.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.the contact stated that the dealer will not honor the recall (recall number was unknown) for the automatic transmission.the dealer stated that the vehicle is over the mileage, which voids the warranty.the current and failure mileages were 167,000.
This vehicle has an automatic transmission yet it rolls backward when in drive, especially while at a stop light on a hill it is like having stick shift.
Honda accord 2000 automatic transmission.
Mechanical "clunk" when put in reverse. Sometimes accompanied by a nudge, like not fully engaged.
Unreasonable failure of transmission occurred to 2 year old vehilcle with 38,000 miles.honda would only pay for part replacement, not for associated labor and rental car.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. He stated that while driving 55 mph the transmission started slipping gears. He then turned the engine off and disconnected the battery to reset the engine error code. As a consequence, his risk for a vehicle crash was increased. The vehicle has not been taken to a dealer for inspection, nor has it been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 143000.
With the car is put into reverse gear, this causes the automatic transmission to make a loud metal to metal popping noise.
When the car is put in reverse there's a loud bang.dt
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 wasapril 2009. I had onlydriven 50,000 miles before i needed the secondtransmission.the transmission shouldhave lastedmore than50000 miles. Both times the transmission was done at a dealership with honda parts.
When pulling out of a parking spacetransmission gear jumped into reverse, and then consumerhit another vehicle. Inadvertentlyair bags deployed. After the vehicle was inspected it was totaled. There were no injuries.
It does not shift from 1-2 gear smoothly. It goes into high rpm (5000) and then jumps to second. The jerks are very noticeable when its shifts gears.
The day after we purchased the vehicle we noticed a loud "thump" when putting the car in reverse. This noise was heard almost every time the vehicle was shifted into reverse. Upon calling the service dept. At the dealer where the vehicle was purchased we were told this was a normal sound when shifting into reverse. The noise continued to happen & it was obvious it was not normal so we again called the dealer's service dept.which then said it was indeed not normal & to bring it in. It apparently was a known defect in 2000 accord v6 models. The transmission was replaced.in aug 2000 the car would not start. It was not a battery problem as lights, etc. Worked. I tried several times to start the car & upon turning the ignition had no response. None of the dash lights indicating engine trouble remained on, although they did intially come on & then go out. I let the car sit for 15-20 mins at which time i then was able to start the car. This problem has not yet repeated itself.
2000 honda accord lx sedan, current mileage 165k miles. Transmission final drive unita lot of play in the carrier bearings. The original transmission was replaced under the "transmission warranty extension campaign" on 09/01/2005 at 90k miles. August of 2009, 155k miles, took car into honda dealer for service and to isolate scrapping noise, dealer unable to determine source. On feb 18, 2010 took car back to honda dealer and noise was isolated to 'transmission final drive, alot of play in carrier bearings'.remedy according to service manager is to replace transmission at a cost of $2700 + tax. Opened case number with honda corp on 02/18/10 asking assistance in cost of replacing transmission. Honda representative denied assistance on 02/24/10. The car has been maintained by honda dealer and is in good mechanical shape other than transmission. I feel the replacement transmission is as defective as the one they replaced. I will be replacing transmission either at my cost or dealers cost.
This is my second time filling out this report , i just want to clarify something.ireceiveda new transmission when the car had only 1308 miles on it because the first transmission clunked everytime i backed up.the replacement transmission rides nowhere as nice as the first transmission in forward gears.i explained all the problems in the first report i submitted to you. Thanks.
Within five days of purchasing this vehicle, owner noticed vehicle shaking and shuddering at 25 mph and 40 mph under light throttle. This condition was and is repeatable. Problem is always present at aforementioned speeds. Dealer was notified, and owner was informed that dealer would contact manufacturer regarding this problem. Owner was contacted 01/04/00 by dealer, and told that manufacturer will be shipping a complete transmission assembly to replace factory installed transmission. Dealer stated that upon their receipt of transmission, they will contact owner to schedule 2-3 day r&r of defective transmission. Owner is concerned about potential future powertrain failures due to the complexity and scope of this proceedures which will take place at dealership. Owner would expect extended powertrain warranty for this vehicle.
Automatic transmission emits noise ("thunk") while vehicle is moving in reverse, accompanied by abrupt shift as if not fully engaged in gear.
The car has a hard time shifting and this is becoming a hazard when put in to traffic.
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 andafter 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 butleave 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
Vehicle would roll back on a hill while in drive iffootwas taken off brake pedal.dealersaid nothing was wrong with it.
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 thefront end of my car is sitting lower then the backand 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?

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.
When shifting to reverse, loud thump comes from under car. Upon initial startup, engine makes loud thump, motor seems to shift or move, creak or tapping noise coming from front supsension or frame of car when moving forward from complete stop, dealer could not find problem.
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!
2000 honda accord received transmission replacement. Consumer states two months after the replacement she is experiencing the same issue.the consumer stated the gears would slip and grind upon accelerating from a stop position and while driving.
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.
Transmission replaced.
My accord dies out on warm start ups when it is in cold weather conditions. I also called honda usa and they told me that it was not suppose to no matter how cold it was. I brought it to honda of sf twice already, but they couldn't duplicate the problem. A few of my friends have the same problems with their accords.
Transmission slips between 1st. And 2nd. Gears. Occurs often enough that it is causing check engine light to come on and stay on. Not repaired as of yet due to excess cost involved.
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.
Automobile shudders or misses at 1800 - 2200 rpm or 45 - 70 mph.the condition is getting worse.honda will not fix it.
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.
A loud, mechanical "thunk" is heard when the car is put intoreverse - the sound comes after the car rolls back 2-3 feet.it is very disconcerting. The dealer says that the problem is "under investigation" by honda and that a transmission replacement may be necessary.they can do nothing until honda figures out how to handle it.i assume the car is safe to drive ???
When in reverse car makes a loud "clunk" feels as though car ran over something.dealer was contacted 3 times - states they do not hear anything.first time they said this was "normal".srs light has also been repaired 2 and is currently malfunctioning.
Dt: the tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it isin reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealerto the dealer twice andthey couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is themotor mounts. The first time this happened was in october of 2002. Dash board lighting goes blank.a faulty multiflex light unit was found.front brakes worn.check engine light was on.found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced.srs light is on.faulty opds unit was found.
After the consumer down shifted the gear, it felt as though the gear was in fourth gear. The vehicle went into reverse instead of forward.*scc
Totally i am not satisfy with this honda accord/2dr/ v6. No safety defectlisted.
2000 honda accord lx v6 automatic, with what else " transmission trouble" we purchased car and within 2 months would make horrible bang noide while backing up. Took to dealership with complaint 5 seperate times and they lied stating they did not know what problem was and could not find anything wrong. When i demanded the service manager and their transmission tech meet me one morning i described the problem and the tech knew exactly what it was and that a new transmission would need to be installed. After they put god knows what in it i tooks it back complaining of a noise they said they had it on the lift listened to it and could not find anything except tire noise, they thing broke right in there parking lot when we went to pick it up. I just looked at the jerk manager and said to him " couldn't find nothing wrong, don't ever go hicking there are rattlesnakes that make less noise than this transmission did and we don't need to loose anymore liars on our little planet now do we?!!!!". He had no response. Well now transmission # 3 is getting ready to bite the dirt, has been serviced every 30,000 miles and needing replaced with only 118,000 miles on vehicle, 68,000 since last one was put in. It will be the absolute coldest day in hell before i ever darken hondas doors again.
Transmission vibrates in the 1000-2000 r.p.m. Range, and most noticable at 1200 and 1800 rpm. The transmission also exhibits a random but very noticeable clunking noise when shifted into reverse.
Heard a grinding noise from the front of the car. Upon investigation at the dealership, they said it needs a new transmission. I have lost faith in the quality of honda. I am going get the new transmission put in tomorrow. I will post about that experience later (i hope it is good). However, because my warranty is going to run out in less than 3000 miles, i need an extended power train warranty from honda. If honda does not come around, i will trade this carr and never buy another honda in my life and i will never recommend it to anyone i do not consider as my enemy.
Car was taken to the moreno valley honda and spreen honda regarding transmissionproblems and we were told that the transmission was fine.my husband owns a transmission repair shop and had to tell spreen honda what was wrong with the transmission.i finally called honda's main office and it took them about a week to remedy the problem.home office contacted the dealer and requested the transmission be replaced.spreen honda had the car for several weeks and did not offer rental car or reimbursement.terrible customer service all around.my husband could have fixed the problem but the car was about 2 years old and under warranty when the problems started to occur.the brakes are constantly squeeking even after replacement.the material on the rear interior door handles has melted.passenger seat belts are extremely tight.this 2000 honda accord se has been a total disappointment.dt
Left side axle seal failed leaking auto transmission fluid. Dealer replaced seal.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.while driving 5 mph, the vehicle hesitated and then accelerated when shifted from first to second gear.when pulling out of a driveway, the vehicle stopped after 10-20 seconds.the vehicle was inspected and the mechanic stated that the driver's side axle shield failed.the mechanic stated that there was a 50/50 chance that the repair would correct the failure or a new transmission would be needed.the vehicle has had two transmission repairs, but the second transmission began displaying the same symptoms as the first one.the contact will need a new transmission.the check engine light illuminated during the first failure.the dealer stated that there was class action suit in 2006 that was settled.they also stated that the transmission failure would be repaired under warranty.however, the dealer is currently being uncooperative and will not assist.the vehicle has not yet been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 161,000.
I bought my honda accord thisseptember. 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 optionalthings 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 thecar 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 isin 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.
My transmission seems to 'overheat'.the car will start and go fine when cold but when theengine gets hot the transmission slips badly.
Car was placed in park. Motor suddenly revved with loud clanking sound and vehicle shot forward and hit tree. After collision, transmission shifted into reverse.
At firstrightlight blewout; then,left side light went out.consumer felt unsafe because there wasa chance of being rear ended. Consumer while traveling on highway a motorist told him that consumer had no brake lights this was the second time inone year due to horn shortening out, first the left brake light and then the right one, also shifter will not come out of park unless the emergency release is used.
Car is shifting late or erratically. I believe it is the transmission. I have not gotten it fixed or repaired.
While driving withvehicle in drive and with foot onaccelerator pedal vehicle would not move forward,resulting in a rearend collision. Cause of the problem has yet to be determined.please provide any further details.
Automatic transmissions failed at low mileage. Owner has to replace it at the dealership. Great safety concerns here as it can fail at high speed.dt
2000 honda accord. Consumer states p0740 code keeps coming on and transmission hesitation *tgw
The thirdtransmission has failed on my honda accord.honda replaced the first 2 with only a $200 charge on the second one.the failure mode is such that the car slips into a neutral like state without warning.this is very dangerous.think about turning left, crossing oncoming traffic and you step on the gas, the car starts to move and goes into neutral.you are stuck in the oncoming traffic lane.
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.
2000 honda accord. Consumer states problem with vehicle transmission *tgwthe consumer stated the check engine light illuminated, as well as the drive/4th gear light.the consumer was informed the transmissionneeded to be replaced at a cost of $4,000.
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.
This is a manufacturer's fault as it is mentioned on the web as well as by auto shops about the transmission. The car can stop anytime! i have spent thousands of $$ already fixing other parts and cannot fix this problem as this is a known problem/default from the manufacturers. Please all raise your voice and have the company take care of this as they are not helping me in this matter!
2000 honda accord automatic transmission failure. Necessary to replace transmission with no help from honda.
Consumer stated the light that illuminates the settings in the automatic shifting lever does not light when the lights are turned on at night, therefore the consumer does not know if the vehicle is in drive or reverse, also when the brakes were pressed there was a noise coming from below the shifter for the automatic transmission .
My transmission on my 2000 honda accord just went out.took it to dealer and even though it falls within the perameters of the honda extended warranity, they refuse to fix it. I think these faulty transmissions should be recalled.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 50 mph, there was a lag in the transmission while attempting to accelerate.there was no warning prior to the incident, and the vehicle was not seen by a dealer.
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.
I bought my 2000 honda accord 2 drive in december 1999 brand new, and my first problem was the clunking noise everytime i would reverse. It felt i had hit something because it would jerk. I contacted the dealer and my transmission was replaced after only 4 months of having the car. Then again in 2002 my car started jerking and taking a long delay getting in gear. I took it into the dealer and my transmission was replaced at no charge. Now it's 2005, and i was advised i need another transmission because it jerks when i accelerate and it also delays when going into gear (feels like it in neutral when i'm accelerating). I've lost my faith in honda's and something has to be done about this because i know of other people same car same problems.
Transmission failed while in rush hour traffic.almost caused a side collision at intersection after d4 light came on and engine light.
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!
I bought my 2000 honda accord brand new. I noticed immediately it shifted rough but i kept it anyway. In 2003 at 84000 miles i was driving down the interstate and the car would not go over 30 mph, almost causing an accident on a busy day. I took it to the honda dealer and they said i had too much transmission fluid in it. They cleaned the filter, and sent it back. It was still doing the same thing. I took it back and they made some adjustment, and it ran somewhat okay.several months later it began to do it again. I took it somewhere else and they told me it was something else, and that the previous year there was an extended warranty issued on the car. I was 2-3 thousand miles over the extension at that point. I knew the transmission was bad the year before. The car would not run right after that. Dealer knows they were in the wrong and they were very rude with me. There has to be something i can do. I can't afford $4000.00 for a new transmission right now. I am thinking of taking legal action.
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.
Whencoming to a stop sign or lightand shifting in high gears vehicle returns back to a lower gear. Dealership is aware ofproblem.
In 2005 with 140k miles the tranny went out on my 2000 honda accord ex.i replaced it with a rebuilt tranny at a cost of $2000.00.now the rebuilt has died after only 75k additional miles.the cost to replace is $2500.00.
2000 honda accord sedan with approximately 109000 miles (10900 miles per year) experienced transmission failure on highway at 65 mph caused sudden deacceleration. At that high speed, if failure continued a serious accident could occur. Fortunately, the transmission became operable again. 15 minutes later in heavy city traffic the transmission would not shift in lower gears making a tow necessary. Currently, the vehicle is at a service garage awaiting evaluation.*tw
When placed in reverse and starting back loud thump from under the car and car jerks then continues back.at time there is another noise (quite) which sounds as if a 'worm gear' is winding up or down.dealer has stated a tec bullentin is out and honda is working on fix, however a call to america honda's consumer affairs (1-800-999-1009) and no one seems to know about the porblem.
Vehicle was unable to go into reverse when put into gear, which was preventing the vehicle from backing out if it needed to move outin case of an emergency. Consumercontacted manufacturer, and was informed that the vehicle was under warranty but the dealer could not duplicate the problem.updated 3/28/2006 - the transmission is sluggish when going up hills until it reaches 20 mph -3/3/2006.
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.
Honda replaced the converter and transmission, but the car still vibrates sometimes on the level but most of the time when going up hill. I am almost ready to trade the car in for a different make. The local mechanics cant seem to be able to help.
Whenvehicle is put into reverse it accelerates.dealer has to replace the transmission.
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 thati never received that letter. They told they did not have record of my address.
Severe internal transmission damage (1) transmission began chugging and slipping(2) failure is eminent according to honda service department(3) nothing.price for replace transmission: approx. $2900.according to honda repair department.
While driving in heavy traffic and acceleratingvehicle hesitated which could have resulted in a collision, cause unknown. Dealer could not identify the cause of the problem.please give any further details.
Automatic transmissions problems still persist.transmission has been replaced three times already.each time there is a new occurrence of problems.for this latest transmission when driving in congested traffic areas where the transmission does not always go to the next gear, it will "lag" and fall back to the lower gear as if the brake was being applied very hard.took the car to the service center and was told by the mechanic that the"transmission is shifting through all of its points normally". I indicated to them this is not the reason when i came to them.they ignored my reasons for coming to them and they then proceeded to claim that its normal for the transmission to "hang" and fall back due to "the computer getting confused as to what gear to go to".as a result its normal for the transmission to "lag" or "hang".i have never experienced this problem with the other two transmissions i had....so, this is anything but normal !!!
I have a 2000 honda accord ex that allows you to turn the car off and remove the key when it is not in park.i know a recent recall has been issued for 2003 and/or later hondas with this problem.i believe that the 2000 hondas should be included in this recall.
Ongoing problem with automatic transmission clunking during sudden stops. Vehicle been in dealer's shop on three occasions, and informed nothing could be found.please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
Complaint received via e-mail."am the original owner of a 2000 honda accord se. In 9-25-03 i took the car to the dealership because i was able to remove my key from the ignition without the car in park. Was told the switch inside the center console failed because soda was spilled. I would have to pay to replace it. I asked if it was a safety issue, andwas told not to worry about it.if i wanted it fixed it would cost me about $200.00, andthe part had to be ordered. Took car home, inspected under the console, and found no evidence of soda or any other substance. On 6-12-04 the car seemed to be having poor acceleration home at 4 pm, and at1130 pm police notified me that my car was found in neighbor's yard,had ran into the corner of the home, causing $3000 damage to home and $800.00 to front ofcar. On july 13 2004 check engine light came on. Car had smoke coming from underneath, as well as transmission fluid leaking. Had to have car towed to dealership. Requested they check the ignition issue.also, next day i received a call, stating thattransmission had to be replaced. I asked about the ignition issue, and was told that they forgot to look at it. I insisted it be looked at,and told them what happened the last time atanother dealership. I was aware of a recall on the 1999 model, andthat other people with same make & model hada similar problem.
My 2000 honda accord is showing transmission problem (p0740, p0730) with 123k. I have seen a recall page with warranty extension for 100k or 7 years so i didn't qualify for both. The warranty clearly tells there may be a material or workmanship issue. Honda is washing their hands and asking me to pay 2200$ 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.
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!
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While the contact was driving approximately 35 mph the accelerator pedal was depressed with a delay response. The rpms also began to increase. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing who stated that the failure was related to the transmission. The technician stated that the vehicle could be repaired at the owners expense. A complaint was filed with the manufacturer in regards to the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 106,000.
Honda replaced the converter and transmission, but the car still vibrates sometimes on the level but most of the time when going up hill. I am almost ready to trade the car in for a different make. The local mechanics cant seem to be able to help.
Automatic transmission has been slipping hard for quite some time. Transmission has always been checked at regular scheduled maintenance. Transmission fluid has been replaced according to manufacturer's maintenance schedule. On 4/24/11 transmission would not engage while merging on a busy road, almost causing an accident. Transmission would not engage into 1st gear returning vehicle to home. This vehicle has very low mileage.
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.
My 2000 honda accord transmissions has began to slip on march 28,2011 as i was making a delivery for my job traveling uphill,i got a couple of readings froma mechanic which was codes p730,p740,&p780 it hasn't stopped and continues to slip as i drive at any speed & slips everytime i drive.i had a mechanic clean the solenoids and do a transmission fluid flush for $200.00,i also added lucas transmission slip stop and problem still occur.i got an estimate forrepair for the transmission for $3000.00.
I started to feel a little slip in the transmission when taking off from a stop sign or backing out of my drive way. I called and set up an appointment with the honda dealer. They could not get me in for three days so i took it to midas it. The man told me i had some very bad transmission problems and could not touch it. He said it was leaking fluid out the left side of the transmission and all he could do would be to fill it up with the special fluid that honda uses. So $80.00 bucks later i got some fluid in it and then called the local honda dealership to ask why my 2000 accord that i paid $25,000.00 had a bad transmission after only 72,000 miles. I was told that ,well there has been a problem with the 2000 accord auto transmissions. I am being told to bring it into the shop to be looked at for a fee of $72.00 an hour and they would try to detect the problem. And i am being told that supposedly that honda had extended the warranty to 72 months or 100,000 miles. I can only hope to god that this is true. Or i am going to have to pay at least $3,500.00 for a new transmission.why was i not told about this problem at the time of purchase, or the time of all the different maintenance schedules i had done? i had ran my honda civic up to 240,000 miles with no transmission problems before i purchased this 2000 accord and i was going to buy a new 2003 accordnext month. Although now i have lost all confidence in the car that i had thought was the very best on the market! is this going to be under a warranty?.
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.
Automobile shudders or misses at 1800 - 2200 rpm or 45 - 70 mph.the condition is getting worse.honda will not fix it.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.while driving 40 mph, the engine light illuminated and the vehicle lurched backwards.the contact continued to drive and the vehicle went into reverse on its own.she slammed on her brakes and the vehicle failed.the dealer stated that it was ok to still drive the vehicle.the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the transmission failed.the repair would cost $3,800.the manufacturer stated that the failure was very unpredictable, but honda was aware of the issue.if the mileage on the vehicle was 109,000 or less, they could possibly repair the vehicle under warranty.the vin was unavailable.the failure mileage was 123,000.
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.
Egr port valve ,air bag light.
Two separate transmission failures at 30,000 miles of wear while driving within 35-55 mph. Dealer contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.
Plagued with check engine light issues:1. Transmission -- caused light to come on was finally replaced afterr several resetsof light.2. Ecm -- was replaced after two incidents.3. Another round of check engine light
Honda accord transmission failed at 84000 miles.never received letter form honda motor corp to have it checked. Extended warranty for 109,000 miles to 2007.never notified.now paying 2100 out of pocket to change.not to mention serious slipping issue while driving.should have sent certified letter.dangerous and expensive.
I have a 2000 honda accord lx sedan with a little over 75,000 miles on it. Saturday may 4th of this year on my way from mesquite to arlington my car just failed to move. Engine was running but the car wouldn't pick a gear to move on, luckily a gentleman behind me helped push the car off to the shoulder. I was stranded on the side of interstate 35 and had to request aaa come tow my car to the dealership lute riley in richardson.the dealership was closed sat by the time i got there so monday morning when i went in i had researched and discovered this was a known defect in the sixth generation accords.but i was informed at midday by my service advisor shawn that i needed to pay to have my solenoids replaced since thats what the technician reports as the problem so me being a college student and heavily reliant on my transportation especially during finals week paid for it. Sure enough couple of days later same issue where the car dies again in my school parking lot and i had it towed once again by aaa over to lute riley. This time when i went in on thursday may 6th they sang a different tune that my transmission had failed and that it was covered under an extended warranty by honda so they will replace it for free but will need to keep it for a week while they order one.now my issue is returning the $350 plus that i spent on repairing solenoids that weren't in need of being replaced.i will be reporting this to honda's corporate hq like so many other honda owners have already done.please do what you can to help save other people this headache and possible endangerment of life when a vehicle fails on our highways! additionally i request that you include honda's recall\extension of warranty on all 2000-2001 accords, oddesseys, and preludes in your "safety recall" search engine (this is open information on honda's homepage but it would be nice to have it available in as many places possible).
When backing out and puttingvehicle into gear,vehicle grabbed but only when in reverse.
1. Early (2006) i took my car in for service because the check engine was on, the car would buckle when changing gears and it was having problems accelerating.the car would not accelerate and this would occur more often after a stop.i would find myself turning at an intersection, etc. And the car would partially stall.honda in jersey city nj rt 440 replaced the erg (?) value after i took it in for service.2. Picked up the car after a 1 mile the check engine light returned and the car was giving me the same issue.3.honda replaced an additional part, the car appeared to be driving fine for a couple of weeks.4. Dropped off the honda for an oil change at and the buckling issue when changing gears to planet honda on rt 22 in elizabeth nj.the car was returned stating no problem.the issue was never resolved.5. I problem in recent months had worsen, yesterday 10/9/06 the car started stalling i was able to get it to a mechanic.the problem identified new transmission required.mechanic also identified the problem as being seen by him on other honda v6 cars.i want to mentioned that my car was under an extended warranty while in the shop in jersey city an of course the parts replaced were not covered by the warranty, granted that transmission would have been.i have also found a list of people complaining about their v6 transmission failing around the 85k mileage just as mine.below is one of the list of complaints i found with a simple search.http://www.autofan.com/forum_thread.asp?message=10543.
When in reverse, there is a bang after rolling for a few feet. It does not happen every time.
Transmission made a loud sqeaking noise and the air bag system failed twice. The dealer was informed appx. 7 day after the car was purchased of the problem and insisted it was just new car noises they will work themselves out. And again in april may i informed the dealer and the same things was said. Now i have a replaced transmission and they do not know why the srs system keeps failing.
This is honda accord v6, i have noticed a clunk when operating the vehicle in reverse.i have taken it to a local dealer and they say they cannot reproduce the problem.they informed me that there aren't any complaints or issuances on the bulletin boards of this problem.however, there are.i believe it is referred to as the 'reverse clunk' problem.this problem is not consisent every time i operate my car in reverse, but it happens about 90% of the time.the car is operated under normal driving conditions.this is a manufacturing defect that i want fixed.when you pay for quality that is what i expect to get.i will also be contacting the honda corporation about this problem.
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.
The vehicle rolls forward when in revese gear.nlm
Dt: the consumer started having problems with transmission in 2001. When the vehicle shifted to reverse it jerked abruptly.problembecame worse. Vehicle hesitated when in drive. This occurred every time the vehicle wa s driven. The vehicle will not shift smoothly from one gear to another. This becameworse after the vehicle was driven for a while. Hesitation occurred while driving, even when the gears were not being changed.dealer was never able to duplicate the problem. Therefore,no repair were done. Vehicle's owner noticed what she thought was transmission fluid in 2003. Dealer statedthere was no problem with the transmission. Owner took vehicle to the service dealer several times ,and every time the dealer relied on the computer to find a problem. None was ever found.
2000 honda accord se - 2nd and 3rd gear slips on automatic transmission as it takes a lot of time to change gear.the car accelerates a lot before the gear is changed.
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.
One day while driving on down the highway, my car shifted from 4th gear to 2nd gear, and about made me run off the road. . i turned the car off for about 15 minutes. I was a long way from home or any place i could stop, so i tried to go again. When i tried again, the car did the same thing, and then became stuck in 2nd gear. I then had the car towed and the transmission replaced. The car had about 96k miles on it.
At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on.took accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared.the mechanic said to take to honda due to recall for this part. Picked car up from mechanic and car also had srs light on.researched online since i already have recall for dash light.found many other honda owners with same srs light.found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated.also, called honda and they said i was beyond the mileage (80k) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement.asked what honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made.i have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission.so when i'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy.my seat weld joint broke at 54k too!i used a 99 toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat.my accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! this car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing.honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While stopped at a traffic signal the contact removed pressure from the brake pedal when the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The contact placed the vehicle in neutral while applying pressure to the brake pedal and parked the vehicle. The contact shut the vehicle off and restarted the engine. The vehicle accelerated on its own twice. The contact could also hear a grinding sound in the transmission. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were notified and stated they could not provide assistance because the warranty had expired. The approximate failure mileage was.
When placed in reverse and starting to back uptransmission engages, disengages and then re-engages. Car makes a clunking sound and jerky movement.
I have honda accord 2000se, 125,000 mileage, hardshift- 1st to second gear,honda says it needs new transmission. $2600 to replace it. Are there any help from honda about this, they extended warranty for this problem to 100000miles, but from what i've seen online re: this problem- it always happen after 100,000. Is there anyway you can help honda owners about this problem? my car is well maintained and so im expecting my car to last longer. Please help us. Thanks so much.
This is the 2nd time in 6 months that i have had to have my transmission replaced in my 2000 honda accord se. There is 83,000 miles on it this time and approximately 60,000 miles on it the first time.
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.
I have honda v6 2000 accord and i am getting p0740 and p0730 error codes. I did change my transmission oil recently with honda atf. From what i have heard it needs new transmission. Car acts very unsafe and it jerks a lot. When brakes are applied does not act immediately.
3 transmission leaks as of 04/04/2000: at third leak - replacing transmission...oil leak: engine replaced due to indentation b/w valve cover & block.received 5yr/60k bumper-bumper warrenty.
Vehicle was taken in for 90,000 maintenance check.upon receiving vehicle from dealer transmission was leaking fluid. Took back to dealer, dealer stated in order to fix leak transmission needed replacement.please provide any furtherinformation.
When consumer shifted gears, the gear shifter lever fell apart. Please provide more details. Ts
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. After turning thevehicle off, the contact removed the key from the ignition and noticed that the vehicle was not shifted into the park gear. The failure was not diagnosed by a dealer or local mechanic. There were no prior warnings. The failure mileage was 117000 and the current mileage was 120000.
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.
Aamco reports defect in torque converter and vehicle slips into gears in cold driving sticks to second gear even stopped. Dealer never replaced tans fluids. During maintenance schedules.
Honda replaced the converter and transmission, but the car still vibrates sometimes on the level but most of the time when going up hill. I am almost ready to trade the car in for a different make. The local mechanics cant seem to be able to help.
I have a 2000 honda accord lx sedan with a little over 75,000 miles on it. Saturday may 4th of this year on my way from mesquite to arlington my car just failed to move. Engine was running but the car wouldn't pick a gear to move on, luckily a gentleman behind me helped push the car off to the shoulder. I was stranded on the side of interstate 35 and had to request aaa come tow my car to the dealership lute riley in richardson.the dealership was closed sat by the time i got there so monday morning when i went in i had researched and discovered this was a known defect in the sixth generation accords.but i was informed at midday by my service advisor shawn that i needed to pay to have my solenoids replaced since thats what the technician reports as the problem so me being a college student and heavily reliant on my transportation especially during finals week paid for it. Sure enough couple of days later same issue where the car dies again in my school parking lot and i had it towed once again by aaa over to lute riley. This time when i went in on thursday may 6th they sang a different tune that my transmission had failed and that it was covered under an extended warranty by honda so they will replace it for free but will need to keep it for a week while they order one.now my issue is returning the $350 plus that i spent on repairing solenoids that weren't in need of being replaced.i will be reporting this to honda's corporate hq like so many other honda owners have already done.please do what you can to help save other people this headache and possible endangerment of life when a vehicle fails on our highways! additionally i request that you include honda's recall\extension of warranty on all 2000-2001 accords, oddesseys, and preludes in your "safety recall" search engine (this is open information on honda's homepage but it would be nice to have it available in as many places possible).
Honda replaced the converter and transmission, but the car still vibrates sometimes on the level but most of the time when going up hill. I am almost ready to trade the car in for a different make. The local mechanics cant seem to be able to help.
2000 honda accord:power train axle-wheel bearings.both front wheel bearings had to be replaced. 70,000 miles on odometer. Car is gently driven over smooth roads. Honda contacted. Dealer not contacted. *nlm
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.while driving 5 mph, the vehicle hesitated and then accelerated when shifted from first to second gear.when pulling out of a driveway, the vehicle stopped after 10-20 seconds.the vehicle was inspected and the mechanic stated that the driver's side axle shield failed.the mechanic stated that there was a 50/50 chance that the repair would correct the failure or a new transmission would be needed.the vehicle has had two transmission repairs, but the second transmission began displaying the same symptoms as the first one.the contact will need a new transmission.the check engine light illuminated during the first failure.the dealer stated that there was class action suit in 2006 that was settled.they also stated that the transmission failure would be repaired under warranty.however, the dealer is currently being uncooperative and will not assist.the vehicle has not yet been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 161,000.
While in reverse and traveling backwards there is a loud clunk and thump from under the car. The dealer told me that honda was investigating the problem and no fix was made to my car.
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!
Vehicle runs well but every time you initially start up and back up it jolts you as you release the brakes and start moving. It is more noticeable in reverse than drive. It has been brought to the dealer three times but they refuse to investigate saying the manufacturer is working on it. I fear the drivetrain will fall apart while driving causing a major accident.
The car began to jerk suddenly and without warning.it would "choke" when the accelerator was pressed or when car was in gear shift change.the car would jerk a significant distance, almost to the point where it could have hit another car.it stalled often, especially after being at a traffic light waiting for it to change.i immediately took the car in for a diagnosis and was told that it was a transmission defect and the entire transmission would have to be replaced.i then calledthe american honda service contract corporation to see what steps needed to take place in order to repair the problem.i contacted a local honda dealership to set up repair.i am currently in wait on their decision as to whether or not they will repair it.i have full coverage under my extended warranty.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.the contact stated that the seat belt fails to lock after the restraints are pulled in place.she purchased the vehicle "as is".the contact took the vehicle back to the dealer for repair, but they could not make the repairs.she was advised to call the honda manufacturer to check if the recall pertained to her vehicle.the failure mileage was 165,041.
Dt:the contact complained about the air bag sensor. The air bag sensorindicator light (srs) cameon intermittently.the light cameon every time the car was driven.the opds switch short circuited.the warranty on the switch was for only 36 months or 36,000 miles.the switch had not been repaired.updated 11/29/2005 - the consumer also had problems with the seat belts since the vehicle was purchased.this problem was brought to the attention of the dealer but they claimed there was no problem.
Nhtsa action number:pe05043already had service in 2009, srs problem back, dealer refused warranty corrective action.
Srs indication light illuminates after seat belt was replaced.
Srs light illuminated, airbags will not deploy if involved in accident. This has occurred on our 2000 honda accord with 67k miles on it. We understand that the warranty has been extended for this issue to 10 years or 150k miles, ours is now ten years old. We feel this is unacceptable and that honda should cover this for the lifetime of the vehicle. This is why people buy vehicles with all the airbags...safety! honda should cover this problem no questions asked!! for life.*dt
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact was driving 35 mph when another vehicle drove through a stop sign and crashed into the front of the contact's vehicle. The air bags did not deploy and the seat belt tightened around the contact. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis. The contact was advised that the seat belt buckle assembly would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and the current mileage was 869,900.
The arm broke into on my car. The welding was bad. Also the clear coat look awful, it was painted cheaply and , it a eye sore. I just want it fixed . I love my car, but should not have to deal with recalls.
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 isif it isn't the seat belt i have to pay the diagnostic feeand800.00.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'sairbags 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 thishowever, 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.
While vehicle is in motion rear seatbeltwill tighten up on its own,causing pain and discomfort to passengers. Dealer refuses to inspect vehicle . Told consumershe must contact manufacturer.
"takata recall"srs light has remained consistently on in the instrument panel since 10/20/16. I was told by the garage that services my car that i need to have my airbag replaced. The light had come on after i started my car, and it has not shut off since.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord ex. The contact stated the srs light illuminated constantly. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic shop who inspected and stated that the seat belt sensor on the driver side had failed. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the seat belts could be replaced at the contacts expense.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 130,000.
Was hit on the drivers side front.
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 contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 10 mph over potholes or bumps in the road, the seat belt ratcheting system tightened up the passenger side seat belt. The seat belt failed and would not readjust tension until unhitched and returned back to the start position. The manufacturer was notified. The vin and failure mileage were unknown.
Srs warning light. Unable to analyze.drl warning light comes on intermittenly.
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.
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 andairbags 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.
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
In may of 2008 my 2000 honda accord lost power while driving and would not restart. All of the gas ran out from the front of the car. The computer board had gone out. The computer board was replaced by another mechanic and then was towed to the honda dealership to be reprogrammed. Since then it has gone back and was diagnosed with misfires. The coil packs , plugs and wires, fuel injectors, egr valve all have been replaced. The car is still spitting and sputtering like it is running on 4 cylinders and it is a v6. I have researched and there seems to be alot of these problems. Also the srs light stays on and you can turn the car off and remove the key without the car being in park. I never received any kind of recall from the dealerships on this recall. This car was bought new in 2000.
Hit on the front drivers side.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the supplemental restraint system and the air bag warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the sensor inside the seat belt buckle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,370.
I have a 2000 honda accord.the "srs" light came onthe dash and stays on whenever the ignition is on.i took it to the dealer and they told me it is a switch within the driver's side seat belt buckle.they told me the belt and the buckle are covered under the seat belt warranty but the switch is not covered and the diagnostic test is not covered either.the whole assembly is part of the safety system and should be covered along with the diagnostic test.
The srs light stays on in my 2000 honda accord. The honda dealership stated they reset the switch the first time i took my car in to be fixed. The light came back on a few days later. I took it back to the honda dealership a second time and they said a switch in the seat belt needed to be replaced. In the mean time, the dealership stated that the air bags in my car are not working because of the srs light being on.
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.
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.
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.
Srs light came on in my 2000 honda accord ex.took my car to a honda dealership.they fixed the problem by replacing the driver's side seat belt (female side).the light has now been off for two weeks.
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.
Honda accord 2000 srs light on and stays on. Checked on line many honda owners have that issue and airbag would not deploy. Called honda customer service told me my vin is not covered under their extended warranty, need to pay for diagnostic check. This is serious safety issue, wanted to bring to your attention.
Hit on the front drivers side.
Consumer stated that the seat belt will not release for more room causing discomfort for the consumer while driving. Dealer notified. Ts
Sirs:we have had two problems with our 2000 accord ex from time of purchase that our dealer, crown honda, has been unable to resolve. The first problem is the car has a stutter within the first mile driven when started. The second is a problem with the supplemental restraint system.
Car was taken to the moreno valley honda and spreen honda regarding transmissionproblems and we were told that the transmission was fine.my husband owns a transmission repair shop and had to tell spreen honda what was wrong with the transmission.i finally called honda's main office and it took them about a week to remedy the problem.home office contacted the dealer and requested the transmission be replaced.spreen honda had the car for several weeks and did not offer rental car or reimbursement.terrible customer service all around.my husband could have fixed the problem but the car was about 2 years old and under warranty when the problems started to occur.the brakes are constantly squeeking even after replacement.the material on the rear interior door handles has melted.passenger seat belts are extremely tight.this 2000 honda accord se has been a total disappointment.dt
Engine check light went on twice. Took vehicleto dealer, and they said fuel filler: cap was not on properly.then,it was electrical system causingengine light to come on.a week later,srs light came on, indicating something wrong with airbag and seatbelts.
The safety restraint light stays on.
Because srs warning light did not go off after startingvehicle , it was taken todealership.dealership believes that the problem is with the seat belts.vehicle has been at the dealership for a monthwaiting for part(s) to correct this problem.the dealer installed temporary replacement but it failed within a month.
The consumers safety belts are too tight.nlm
Unless the front passenger seat is in the full-back position, and has been pushed hard to lock it into position, it is very difficult to get it to lock in position if the position is changed when a passenger enters the rear seat.the result is that after the front passenger is seated and the car begins to move, the seat will usually freely move forward or backward, unless the passenger has figured out how to move the seat fore-aft lever down into the locked position while gently moving the seat forward or back.normally i warn passengers of this problem, but none seem able to accomplish the locking of the seat in a midway fore-aft position without endangering the knees of the rear seat passenger.i have not taken the car into the dealer yet due to time constraints, and no one has been injured because i have warned them about the seat.still, this car should not have left the factory without the passenger seat lock working easily and predictably.
While driving, the srs light illuminated on three occasions.the part that was needed had not arrived at this time.the consumers vehicle was not included in recall# 02v080000.there was a faulty switch in the left seat belt buckle. *sc
Seatbelt switch failed and turned on the "srs" dashboard indicator light and thus disables the airbag system the vehicle.
My 2000 honda accord gives me a problem with: 1stmy passenger seat belt. It's extremly hard to fasten. 2ndmy accord stalles every time i atempt to take off from a complete stop.also, there is a roaring bumping sound comming from around my exaust system.
Seat belts on both sides of front have opened by themselves after seeming to be latched;first time was driver's side, i took it to local dealer who "cleaned" it even though i saw no dirt, seems to be working;but now the passenger side is doing the same thing, opening by itself during driving;again took it to local dealer, they offered to "clean" it again but i said no, i did not see any dirt and they told me that if someone had spilled a drink on it the seat belt would not work any more;i advised north american honda (tina at 1-800-999-1009, ext. 118088, case number n-012001-10-18-00512), they offered to replace seat belt with new one but of same design and i said no.to sum up, belts appear to be latched but are not, and i did not see any dirt or other barriers, and furthermore even if someone did actually spill a drink i cannot imagine that would cause a seatbelt (twice now) to fail to stay closed.i am convinced this design is not safe.

This happened while driving in snowy weather.the contact stated that thishappened again on2-27-07, and thought nhtsa should be aware of this.the failure mileage was 32950 , and the current mileage was 33000.

The seat belt/air bag mechanism.honda only reset the srs button, but would not honor the warranty specified by the vehicle's handbook.no faults were found. *scit turned out that the seat belt was sending false information t the air bag mechanism
The srs light continues to come on after being reset. The computer code is 9-4 our mechanic says there is a problem with the sensor in the passenger side seat belt sensor.
Seat belts are too tight.cj
Rear seat belts often retract in the process of putting them on, making them so uncomfortable that passengers do not want to wear their seat belt.rear seat belts need to be longer, or need to be able to be pulled out further before going into retract mode, so they can comfortably be worn. *la
Rear seat belts in my 2000 honda accord ex are too short for adults.it is very difficult to get them on without activating the automatic retraction mechanism, which makes them very uncomfortable.it often takes 4-6 attempts to get them on comfortably, and if you lean forward with the belt on, you have to start over.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving, the driver front seat fractured and collapsed backward. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The back of driver's side front seat fell off approximately 1 year ago. A bolt was tightened and the seat seemed ok,but then became loose. Car was at dealer for regular servicing a few months ago and was told this was normal. Last week seat back became very loose and when car was in for regular service i asked them to look at it andwas told bracket would have to be replaced at cost of approximately $800. After much protest, dealer claimed they needed tocontact the manufacturer. Later that day they agreed to replace at no cost as "good will" gesture and scheduled repair for next day. After doing some research, i found out that this is a known problem on both the accord and civic and there is a nhtsa pending. Ref action # pe02072. I also own a saturn and it was recalled for a similar seat bracket problem . Honda should be required to correct this problem with a recall.
Passenger seat does not lock into place causing seat to fly forward when brakes are applied.i have taken the car to the dealer to be repaired twice.they replaced the track the seat slides on.the seat still slides forward, and they said this is just normal. I am considering a lawsuit.
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.
Front drivers seat came loose, causing the seat to suddenly lean back as my wife was backing out of ourgarage. 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.
After going over a small sharp speed bump in a parking lot the left front drivers seat "l" bracketbroke, allowing the seat to tilt back and forth and the srs light to came on. A honda dealer told me , it needed to be replaced or possibly welded.costs ranged($300-$400) for welding ornew seat bracket ($1300 - $1500).
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.
Was hit on the drivers side front.
The front driver seat broke from track and caused driver to move freely even with seat belt on.this occurred at approximately 54k on my accord.it broke when my father (200 lbs) reached in his front pocket to retrieve his wallet.took to mechanic and they removed seat and had to weld seat back.i have seen other accord owners with similar seat malfunction and the potential injury this could cause if in a collision to driver.the seat should not break so easily and with only 54k on vehicle either.
Passenger side seat will not lock into position.on several occasions, passengers have been thrown forward in the seat when stopping abruptly with the seat belt tightening to a severely uncomfortable state. This has been reported to the dealer on 2 occasions - each time they report there is no problem.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.while driving at an unknown speed, the weld in the front driver's seat fractured, which caused the seat to moveexcessively without warning.the risk of a serious crash or injury was increased.the contact took the vehicle to a certified welder, who welded the seat to its proper position.months later, the failure recurred.she took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that she would have to purchase a new seat assembly at the cost of $800.the vehicle has not been repaired.the manufacturer did not assist.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 83,000 and current mileage was 90,000.
Vehicle was in a rear end collision. The driver/passenger back seat reclined backward uponimpact. Therearseat was not occupied at the time of the accident so no one was hurt. Pleaseprovide more details.ph
Was in an accident, car was totalled.no airbags went off exwct the passwnger side airbag,which no one or anything was in the seat. Was a head on collision. Was moving about 20 to 30 miles an hour. Comung to a stop
Hit on the front drivers side.
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
Hit on the front drivers side.
At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on.took accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared.the mechanic said to take to honda due to recall for this part. Picked car up from mechanic and car also had srs light on.researched online since i already have recall for dash light.found many other honda owners with same srs light.found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated.also, called honda and they said i was beyond the mileage (80k) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement.asked what honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made.i have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission.so when i'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy.my seat weld joint broke at 54k too!i used a 99 toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat.my accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! this car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing.honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.
The consumer entered the vehicle to discover the front driver seat had come off the frame.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the consumer was responsible for the cost of the repair.
When i first purchased my vehicle, a 2000 honda accord coupe ex v6, the passenger seat will not lock into place after moving the seat forward so that rear passengers can enter or exit the vehicle, therefore posing an extreme safety hazard to front passenger occupants.i have told my dealership, ed voyles honda (miki mullinax is my service advisor) about this since i first purchased the vehicle and i was told that this is "just normal".i don't understand how a condition that is potentially so dangerous can be "just normal".also, my srs indicator has come on for no particular reason and i explained this to my dealership, after looking at the technical service bulletin on this website, and they were going to have me pay a diagnostic fee to see if this was true or not.i actually also had an instance of the failed mil which was resolved by my dealer yesterday (honda service bulletin #00-017).please advise on these issues.thanks.jody kellps: the incident date that i am using is the day that i purchased the vehicle, which is when the seat issue first began.
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-$900).
No summary listed for above vehicle.
I have a 2000 honda accord coupe v6 the window latches and driver's side door have completely locked up again this is the second time i've paid out of my pocket 500$ for a door that should have been recalled years ago considering all the videos i have seen of this exact same problem with this exact same years and models i'm serious about considering a class action suit against honda for ignoring this issue and now yet again the driver side door has locked up again this needs to be recalled there's thousands of cars same year same problem and you have done nothing to right this wrong also the frame bracket of the seat is unstable
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.
Dt*: the contact stated the driver side seat was loose on the floor base.the vehicle was inspected by an independent repair shop who determined the seat adjustor bracket that attached the seat to the seat base was fractured and needed to be welded back onto the base.the manufacturer was alerted.
The vehicle is a 2000 honda accord. The drivers power seat bracket has broke. This is the front left corner. This is a power seat. I think the weld failed. I will take it to a shop for repair and reinforcement. I believe this is a very serious condition and would cause injury or death in a collision. I think this is a part that should never fail. Incidentally, i am not obese. I weigh 215 pounds and am a 6 ft tall male.
The design of the drivers side two-way power seats sit too high up in the "down position" causing the driver's right leg to slam against the ignition and steering during braking.et.
Driver's side power seat continued to fail. The seat link support was replaced, however problem recurred.
Left driver side seat collapsed after being hit from rear.sustained injuries to back, neck and knee. Would like for this agency to conduct an investigation as toa faulty otr seat manual adjuster.part is believed to be 81660-884-a01
Drivers seat broke during vehicle collision causing a fractured vertebrea in the neck and damage knees from hitting the dashboard beneath the steering wheel.nlm
Front passenger seat has for 3 years failed to lock into place after the front seat is moved forward to allow access in the backseat.my wife was sitting in the front seat and upon a abrupt stop he seat accelerated forward and she hit her head on the front windshield.even with a seat belt on this dangerous defect could not prevent bodily injury to my wife.the manufactuer states that even after looking at this seat several time, it is operational as expected.
The driver's seat back is loose and is getting worse.i am concerned that it won't hold if there is an accident.this was first noticed a couple of months ago.

After being rear ended, front seats broke and fell backwards, laying on back seats. Consumer states that the seat did not support the passengers neck or back, the seat was difficult to free from trapped objects that were on the back seat.
Broken weld under driver seat permitted the seat to "rock" backwards during acceleration with possible loss of control.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord.the driver's seat track is not bolted to the ground or the seat; therefore, the seat moves back and forth unexpectedly while driving at various speeds.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the tracking needed to be replaced.the failure mileage was 148,000 and current mileage was 150,000.
Various problems with 2000 honda accord. *mr the alternator failed, the egr valve failed, the srs light illuminated, the driver's seat back panel had fallen due to s defective plastic anchor pin, the a/c stopped working, and the front passenger door seal at the bottom was falling off. *sc
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.
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.
My air bags are takita and needs replacedi can leave my car in any gear but park and it drifts awayi have replaced my transmission 2xwith only150k miles
Honda had the main brake line with hydraulic fluid burst causing accident.pushed on brake pedal went straight to floor and did not stop. Was working fine the day before, pumping brake pedal was uselesss. Car was heading for another vehicle so i drove off the road, speed was about 30mph when i ended in a median strip.
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!!
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 stopinside 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.
Car was taken to the moreno valley honda and spreen honda regarding transmissionproblems and we were told that the transmission was fine.my husband owns a transmission repair shop and had to tell spreen honda what was wrong with the transmission.i finally called honda's main office and it took them about a week to remedy the problem.home office contacted the dealer and requested the transmission be replaced.spreen honda had the car for several weeks and did not offer rental car or reimbursement.terrible customer service all around.my husband could have fixed the problem but the car was about 2 years old and under warranty when the problems started to occur.the brakes are constantly squeeking even after replacement.the material on the rear interior door handles has melted.passenger seat belts are extremely tight.this 2000 honda accord se has been a total disappointment.dt
The car lost total traction,beforeand after i saw alot of accidentsi do not beleive it isjusthonda civicor accord just slip from the roadwant you if can studyand bring the truth out if something wrong with vehicle manufacturer thank you. Haresh.
2000 honda accord brake line corroded leading to total brake failure. I was able to coast to a stop by if i was going any faster it would have lead to a crash and possibly injury.
Dt: the tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it isin reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealerto the dealer twice andthey couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is themotor mounts. The first time this happened was in october of 2002. Dash board lighting goes blank.a faulty multiflex light unit was found.front brakes worn.check engine light was on.found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced.srs light is on.faulty opds unit was found.
While pulling out of the driveway consumer applied the brakesand theywere not working. Thishappened twice in the last month.vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the vehicle needed to be warmed up before applying the brakes.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 40 mph and approaching a traffic stop signal and when the brake pedal was applied with very little response. After forcefully engaging the brakes to the floor repeatedly, the vehicle came to a stop. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and inspected. The contact was unable to detect the problem and resumed with caution. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and they informed the contact that the brake lines were faulty and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 157,395.
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.
My 2000 honda accord lx (srs light remain on). Gas pedal get stuck, rotor and drum was bended.
At 3 pm i drove down to pick up mail (from car window) at the end of pipestem. Backed up turning right to make u turn for return.straightened wheels and started forward to begin left turn on narrow road, a maneuver i have performed dozens of times. Car accelerated despite immediate braking and ran off embankment into woods. Unable to stop i deliberately hit a tree to avoid driving into pond.triple a pulled the car out of the woods and craftsman auto body of chantilly (va) did the repairs.i assumed it had been a glitch in the accelerator but could not prove it. I now practice throwing the car into neutral from time to time in case it happens again. Recent newspaper reports of similar cases induced me to make this report.
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 feetbefore 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
Two rotors had to be replaced after the alarm mechanism (metal pin) failed to alert the consumer the front brakes needed replacing.*ph*mr
When on the road vehicle wanders. It has no neutral point. When trying to correct it,vehicle wanders to the other side. Dealer has been contacted.also, when brakes are applied, brake pedal continues down its full travel to a mechanical "clunk".mastercylinder has been replaced, but still occurs. *ml
After 2 years owning the vehicle when it was driven for about 17k miles frontbrake 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. Rotorshave 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.
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 pez 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-ppuservice history:2001 ? presentservice agency:honda dalton polanco de mxico, d.f.

I purchased a 2000 honda accord used in 2003.it had approx 14,000 miles. At 30,000 i had to turn the rotors.i was told it was my driving habits that caused it. I am 54 yrs old and have owned numerous vehicles in my lifetime and have never had to turn rotors until near 60,000. I again was told the rotors were warped at 45,000 and they turned them again.i now have 54,000 miles on the vehicle and the front end is shaking again when i drive and brake normally at 60 miles an hour.i'm going to take the car back to honda again.if my rotors need replacing then i plan to ask for my parts back so i can show nys dept of motor vehicles and attorney general's office.i have read numerous complaints on honda brakes and i can't find any technical service bulletin or recalls for my model and year.unbelievable.i want nhtsa to look into this. I recently got a class action suit letter regarding the transmission - they are extending my warranty 9 months - big deal.the attorneys get rich and if my transmission goes after the extra 9 months then i pay.
I bought my honda accord thisseptember. 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 optionalthings 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 thecar 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 isin 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.
Disc brake rotors warped. Dealer turned them but they continue to re-warp. Dealer denied presence of problem on second visit without a visual inspection.
Brakes - i took my car into lia honda in albany in april 2004 for my nys inspection and 30,000 mile service.i was told that i needed rotors turned.i was verysurprised that i needed rotors turned at 29,000 miles.perhaps this is normal but previously i owned a nissan and i did not have to do any brake work until 50,000 miles.i wanted to report this in case there were any other owners of honda accords with this problem.i wonder if they use a cheaper quality brake parts than nissan.
Repetitive warping of front disk brakes on a 2000 honda accord ex v6.causes dificulty to stop safely.have heard of other accords with the same problem.
Whenbrakes are appliedvehicle pulls to the right due to problem with brake rotors prematurely wearing out.please give any further details.
Front disc rotors continue to re-warp and need turning, despite careful driving practices and no sudden stops and no riding of brakes. Vibration makes vehicle hard to control during normal stops. Dealer denies there is any problem.
Consumer applied the brakes andpedal went to the floor. A loud noise was heard coming from the front. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, andmechanic determined that the brakes pads and rotors needed to be replaced.
Bought car 12-31-1999. In 2001, significant "warbling"/shaking of steering column when braking, at higher speeds, to the point stopping was becoming precarious. Dealer said rotors had warped, most likely because i hit the brakes hard during wet conditions, getting rotors wet, and causing the warping. Rotors were turned. "pulsing" of brakes started again in near future; dealer said they fixed at no charge when doing routine maintenance.problem recurred again. Dealer said couldn't turn rotors again, and needed to replace them and pads (july 2004). I complained; mechanic acknowledged when asked directly that he had seen more problems with this year/model of honda. I paid for replacement. Again, november, 2004 pulsing started. Dealer did break inspection (for $19.95); it was obvious they were familiar with the issue - they acknowledged the warping was recurring - on the replacement rotor. I disclosed finding other complaints on nhtsa web site; service manager asked if i had talked to honda - if honda agreed to cover it, they could do the work. Problem is, cover what? the problem appears to be related to this specific braking system. This car is the 6th honda my spouse and i have purchased. Unfortunately, it may well be the last.
Vehicle was taken to the dealer for a routine inspection, andmechanic determined that the rotors needed to be replaced due to worn out parts.
Disc brake rotors warped. Dealer turned them but they continue to re-warp. Dealer denied presence of problem and blamed the problem on ecessive driving.
The front and rear brakes are starting to wear prematurely and make noise due to a new design, both rear wheel cylinders are leaking.nlm
Whenbrake pedal was applied it went tofloor.then hit two curbs, and some bushes before coming to a stop. Whenvehicle was inspected bydealer, they replacedmaster cylinder.consumer states abs makes loud noise when starting up and steering wheel grabs to the left, consumer also states that the brake pedal is low and mushy.
Design flaw caused both acceleratorand brake pedalsto be too close; intermittently causing problem when applyingbrakes and accelerator pedals at the same time.dealer notified.
The brake pedal is soft and when i apply the brakes i depress the accelerator at the same time causing the vehicle to continue to move against the brake. The brake pedal should not depress low enough to depress the accelerator
Consumer stated the gaspedal and brake pedal were designed too close together.the consumer had been in the position where he had to make a panic stop. When this happened, his kneeshit the steering wheel to prevent a raised pedal. Dealer stated the interior was redesigned to accommodate shorter people whom wanted minimum time going from the brake to the pedal and vice versa.*ph
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, various warning lights illuminated and the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. In addition, the power steering pump was leaking. The contact switched off and restarted the vehicle but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 258,321.
Since new the speedometer has been reading 8 to 9% in error-verified by the dealer service department.honda claims a 10% variance is normal.this can be a concern while driving the car-may be driving at the posted limits or i may not be if the calibration is off and is waverying in its readings.
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.
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
The srs light is on and the airbag lights cone on
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated the power steering hose was leaking. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the power steering hose fractured. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 200,000. P
Subframe rot caused from the ac drain line. My frame is completely rotted through and broken because of this. Could've caused a crash.
Passenger side rear subframe rusted and broke off i heard a clunking sound when i was going downthe street on the way to worki turned the cornerand heard a loud clunk sound and got under my car and looked and the passenger side rear subframe is broke off
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.
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.
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.
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!!
When in motion vehicle transmission slips terribly and is difficult to shift.car only has 100,000 miles on it.also air bag lights are always on.steering wheel also locked on the car.
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.
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.
Having problems of stering wheel on honda accord 2000 model. Changed the brake pads in october'03 with honda dealer and have the similar problem again.
While driving at 40-50 mph power steering went out andconsumer could not controlvehicle, and it ran into side rail. Then, across the highway intoemergency lane. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
Steering seems to be overly tight and hard to turn for power steering. No play at all in steering.
Premature power steering pump failure as exhibited by whining noise coming from the unit. Dealer acknowledges this noise will lead to power steering failure, that the failure (at 60000 miles in this case) is premature, and that there is an apparent pattern of such failures in honda accord cars.the dealer refused to do anything and said the manufacturer is not looking into the problem in spite of its safety implications and the apparent pattern of failures.
Honda says they will not cover the part because they say it cracked and there might be evidence of a hit. But the car has neverhad an acident and honda says they will not cover the part. I think this poses a significant saftey thread. And if any body dies due to falure of this part in the future honda should be charged.
Dt: 2000 honda accord ex - the power steering rack and pinion broke.while driving my vehicle the maintenance indicator came on and stayed on and i didn't have any power steering.took to the honda dealership and they stated that the rack pinion had broke.the vehicle has not been fixed.the dealership did not provide any information on recall or safety defect on this problem.the dealership did not give any indication on why this happened.updated 12/27/2005 -
Various problems with 2000 honda accord. *mr the alternator failed, the egr valve failed, the srs light illuminated, the driver's seat back panel had fallen due to s defective plastic anchor pin, the a/c stopped working, and the front passenger door seal at the bottom was falling off. *sc
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.
Took vehicle to mechanic to inspect wheel noise. Inspection resulted in replacement of ball joint. Inspection also revealed 80-85% rust-out of subframe on passenger side. No other undercarriage rust is evident and the vehicle is otherwise in excellent condition. This is the same area of the subframe which has been reported as a 'defect' due to factory placement of the a/c drain hose.this is a dangerous condition waiting to happen.
2000 honda accord v6 4 door sedan, wanted to report the drivers side honda carpet jams under the brake and gas pedal.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle rattled, shook, and an abnormal sound emitted from the front passenger side without warning. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that the front passenger side subframe was fractured and rotted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 214,000.
Consumer states there is an odor in vehicle with or without ventilation on, dealer has attempted to solve the problem many times by cleaning evaporator assembly, replacing air conditioner filters, and cleaning evap box, however still is still in vehicle.
The ac rubber hose leaks water and drips on the sub frame causing the sub frame to rust out. The rusttotally cracked the sub frame, which in turn, caused the suspension to the be loose. Fromwhat 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 ofany 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.
Noise level so high when driving on hwy (get headaches), rattles on both sides, sides window, panel, sideview mirrors, mirror on passenger's side not working. Cj

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 truckpraying 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.
Paint bubbles on the front roof near the windshield has resulted in windshield seal to disintegrate and leak water when it rains. Can't run the car through carwash! expect the water leak to damage internal electronics in the near future.

Subframe rust-out of front engine cradle back beam on right (passenger) side, both behind and in front of the lower control arm. Large hole in frame was noted during other repair work and matches numerous complaints and pictures of similar problems that can be found online. Dealer says there is no recall or other corrective action from honda.
Passenger side engine cradle rusted out. Sway bar bushing broke off while driving had to have the vehicle towed home vehicle mileage is 260514
The car made a knocking sound and pulls to the right at 55 miles per hour. Mechanic noticed the sub frame on the right front side of the vehicle was rusted out and stated it was unsafe to drive. Entire front sub frame to be replaced. No evidence of rust on the rest of the sub frame or undercarriage.
On my honda accord 2000, i can remove the ignition key without switching the transmission to 'park'. I parked my car, and left the transmission on 'drive'. The car rolled down the slope and crashed into another car parked few yards away.the description of the recall 05v02500 (ignition-park interlock) matches exactly my car characteristics and the problem i am having with the interlock system. I called honda and they said that the recall does not apply to my vin.
Just purchased a 2000 accord on sat 8-22-15. Body looks great,runs shifts great,but when attempting oil change i realized passenger side front subframe is completelygone. Yes,gone. It's missing @4 inches of metal which has obviously rusted away,with surrounding metal rusted. Driver side looks perfect. Same part,two different places,acting completely different.
After a long trip out west we noticed a noise in the front end, we had the car looked at and they said the sub frame on right side was rusted out. We consider ourselves lucky nothing happened on the trip. From ohio to south dakota.
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
The arm broke into on my car. The welding was bad. Also the clear coat look awful, it was painted cheaply and , it a eye sore. I just want it fixed . I love my car, but should not have to deal with recalls.
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.
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.
Paint looks like a brillo pad was taken to it
I was driving on city when i heard metal noise from right front passenger side i had it check ed and i was told that the k frame-subframe had rusted and cracked only on passenger side righti checked online and found out that a lot of people had this problem due that the ac was dripping water on top of it it was a manufacture defect
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.
Front sub-frame or engine cradle is rusted and broken. Its very unusual in honda. My whole car was rust free except that part. There are lot of customers complaining about this issue.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle struck a pothole and heard an abnormal noise emit from under the passenger side of the vehicle.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 185,000.
I have a 2000 honda accord coupe v6 the window latches and driver's side door have completely locked up again this is the second time i've paid out of my pocket 500$ for a door that should have been recalled years ago considering all the videos i have seen of this exact same problem with this exact same years and models i'm serious about considering a class action suit against honda for ignoring this issue and now yet again the driver side door has locked up again this needs to be recalled there's thousands of cars same year same problem and you have done nothing to right this wrong also the frame bracket of the seat is unstable
Takata recall i bought this car with no air bag and also suspension is no good
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.
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 ofdefective 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, theyneed 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.
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.
Car failed inspection due to corroded subframe on right hand side front passenger area. Seems to be a commonproblem, and potentially dangerous if component failed.
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.

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.
My son was driving his 2000 honda accord going on to 270 north all of a sudden his hood came popping up smashing his windshield and he was lucky he was in the lane closest to the brim.he could not see and was lucky no one was in front or at the side of him.the police officer that arrived asked us if this was a 2000-2002 honda and my son said yes.he explained to us this is the 5th honda vehicle in a month that this same thing occurred. His daughters same car as my son did this a month ago. He recommended to me to email you and let you know.obviously this is an issue, and if this columbus ohio police officer has seen 5 i wonder what has been going on in other states. The police officers name is officer [xxx]phone number [xxx] police officer number [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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.
4th july my wife was in a collision which resulted in her suffering memory loss, speech issues , stutter, a severe concussion and weeks and weeks on continued therapy to include physical therapy, speech therapy and continued care. The air bag didnt deploy . No reason with the damage sustained by the car it shouldn't have deployed. My three children where also in the car to include my 12yr old son in the front passenger. My child sustained minor bumps and bruises but as a result of failed equipment my wife nearly forgot who i was to include last last ten years of our lives amoungst other things , and could possibly have most her life.one of the doctor diagnosis is :concussion with loss of consciousness, subsequent encounter. (speech pathological treatment plan ongoing ) my wife is also unable to work and provide , and take care of my children in my absence. Vehicle was in motion , speed 40-55mph ohio state route 68 in urbana, ohio. Night time following july 4th fireworks.
The paint and clear coat have chipped off.

Subframe/cradle rusted through on the passenger side due to manufacturers routing of air conditioner condensation onto subframe. No damage/rust on drivers side where a/c does not drain. Around $400 in parts and over $700 in work.
Subframe rot caused from the ac drain line. My frame is completely rotted through and broken because of this. Could've caused a crash.
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).
The paint on the front bumber is peeling within a year after purchase,my friends with other hondas have the same problem,after i contacted the dealership they used touch up paint and then it started peeling again within a year.i have had other hondas before and none had this problem. No safetty defect.
The noise level is so loud while driving on the highway it causes the consumer to get a headache, both side windows, panel and side view mirrors rattle.nlm

Totally i am not satisfy with this honda accord/2dr/ v6. No safety defectlisted.
I own a 200 honda accord that is causing me to bury my head in the sand. When my spouse and i went looking for a new car 3 years ago, i told him if he wanted a car that lasted long after the last payment to look at a honda. I am quite surprised at the problems we have encountered. This new one is: the driver's side window regulator needs replaced. Car has 70k miles on it. I've talked to 2 friends who also own hondas-same exact problems. $350 to fix. There's got to be a defect somewhere. Please help, we still have $$$ to pay on the car and although i have always wanted a honda, it's making me second-guess myself.
Driver side door arm rest is made of very flimsy material. The arm rest has cracked and is broken.ph

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 overhalf 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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph over a road bump, the front frame became fractured. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, who inspected the problem and stated that the water from the air conditioning hose leaked onto the frame and as a result, the frame had become severely rusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The current and failure mileage was 250,000.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, there was an abnormal noise and the vehicle failed to steer properly. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the front passenger's side sub-structure had become rusted and detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving at 55 mph over a pothole, a loud noise emitted from the vehicle. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed that the subframe was corroded. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the passenger side subframe needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated while having regular maintenance performed on his vehicle, the independent mechanic notified him that the subframe was corroded.

The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for routine maintenance, it was found that the front passenger side subframe was severely corroded. The air conditioning condensation line dripped fluid on top of the key suspension component, which caused the failure. The vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The dealer was not notified. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 62,000.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 problemwas 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.
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.
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.
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.
During an oil change, my husband notice a crack in the rear beam of the front crossmember.upon further investigation, he identified that the subframe had rusted through from the top down where the air conditioner drain was.the replacement part cost $530 (regularly $720 from honda) and over $400 in labor to replace it.the part was completely rusted through, broken in several places, and would have eventually caused a steering problem, according to the mechanic who replaced the part.
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 ...
Sub-frame rusting:upon recent inspection this vehicle was determined to have rusting through the sub-frame on the front passenger side resulting in failure to pass inspection due to being unsafe.cost to repair and replace the part and allow the vehicle to be safe to drive will be $1500.00.no other sign of rust anywhere else on the undercarriage of this vehicle.upon research into this serious and expensive defect we noted that there are significant numbers of accord vehicle owners who have experienced the identical flaw.additionally, our mechanic noted that the air conditioning weep hole drains directly onto this area of the vehicle contributing to the sub-frame rot.
State inspection found passenger side of front subframe has rusted through.no other rust is visible on frame.mechanic claims failure from rust may be due to ac drain routed onto frame at this location.another 2000 accord was in in the shop at the same time for repair of the same damage.
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.
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.
Recently bought a 2000 honda accord in great condition. Upon inspection noticed that there the front suspension cross member/subframe was rotted on the passenger side of the vehicle. This is only on the passenger side of the vehicle. Upon researching online have noticed that there have been similar complaints from other owners about the ac unit leaking and rotting out that part of the sub frame.
State inspection found passenger side of front subframe has rusted through.no other rust is visible on frame.mechanic claims failure from rust may be due to ac drain routed onto frame at this location.another 2000 accord was in in the shop at the same time for repair of the same damage.
Clicking noise was coming from front suspension area.car was inspected by a local mechanic and stated that there was a water leak from the air conditioner condenser onto the passenger side of the front subframe. As a result, the subframe fractured on the passenger side. The mechanic stated that the subframe was rusted and fractured. The front subframe needed to be replaced. Mechanic stated that the car was unsafe to drive as it could have resulted in severe injuries/death.contacted american honda on 7-15-15 to get a goodwill repair since this is a common issue with other owners as a result of manufacture defect.amal, the representative in the product concerns department stated that it is honda's policy not to issue goodwill since the car is out of warranty and is 15 years old.honda - not everyone can afford brand new cars!!!your reputation has been to produce safe, dependable vehicles, but your lack of actual "customer support" shows otherwise.i was shocked to see that in 2012 this issue was brought to the public's attention including the safety regulators, 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.i urge nhtsa to do the right thing and represent us consumers by having honda issue a recall for this defect.please do something asap before people get hurt and we have another fiasco, i.e., gm ignition, takata airbags.

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.
Took vehicle to mechanic to inspect wheel noise. Inspection resulted in replacement of ball joint. Inspection also revealed 80-85% rust-out of subframe on passenger side. No other undercarriage rust is evident and the vehicle is otherwise in excellent condition. This is the same area of the subframe which has been reported as a 'defect' due to factory placement of the a/c drain hose.this is a dangerous condition waiting to happen.
Subframe rot caused from the ac drain line. My frame is completely rotted through and broken because of this. Could've caused a crash.

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!!
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.
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.
The arm broke into on my car. The welding was bad. Also the clear coat look awful, it was painted cheaply and , it a eye sore. I just want it fixed . I love my car, but should not have to deal with recalls.
Takata recall i bought this car with no air bag and also suspension is no good

When on the road vehicle wanders. It has no neutral point. When trying to correct it,vehicle wanders to the other side. Dealer has been contacted.also, when brakes are applied, brake pedal continues down its full travel to a mechanical "clunk".mastercylinder has been replaced, but still occurs. *ml

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.
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.

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.
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
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.
When the vehicle is strolling in reverse you can hear a loud clunking noise/bang and may even feel the vehicle being lifted an inch or so and drop.nlm
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.
Just purchased a 2000 accord on sat 8-22-15. Body looks great,runs shifts great,but when attempting oil change i realized passenger side front subframe is completelygone. Yes,gone. It's missing @4 inches of metal which has obviously rusted away,with surrounding metal rusted. Driver side looks perfect. Same part,two different places,acting completely different.
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.
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!
During an oil change, my husband notice a crack in the rear beam of the front crossmember.upon further investigation, he identified that the subframe had rusted through from the top down where the air conditioner drain was.the replacement part cost $530 (regularly $720 from honda) and over $400 in labor to replace it.the part was completely rusted through, broken in several places, and would have eventually caused a steering problem, according to the mechanic who replaced the part.
Car failed inspection due to corroded subframe on right hand side front passenger area. Seems to be a commonproblem, and potentially dangerous if component failed.
Sub-frame rusting:upon recent inspection this vehicle was determined to have rusting through the sub-frame on the front passenger side resulting in failure to pass inspection due to being unsafe.cost to repair and replace the part and allow the vehicle to be safe to drive will be $1500.00.no other sign of rust anywhere else on the undercarriage of this vehicle.upon research into this serious and expensive defect we noted that there are significant numbers of accord vehicle owners who have experienced the identical flaw.additionally, our mechanic noted that the air conditioning weep hole drains directly onto this area of the vehicle contributing to the sub-frame rot.
Excessive rust on passenger side sub frame under air conditioner drain. Driver side is ok.
When car is driven during hot days and you turn the car off, it will not start again tell the car cools off. This happens during the summer months.now that the car is older, it will not start at all during some of the hot days. This include when i start the car for first time that day. Took the car in once years ago and they said they fixed it but i keep having the same problem. They wanted to charge me more money to try to fix it again. Front passage headlights always been foggy. Car also never hugged the road right. Dealership could never find the problem.
The a/c drain drips on the engine frame beam / cross member causing them to rust. They are now broken in two. Later models were supplied with a drain tube to re-route the condensation away from the beams eliminating this concern.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for routine maintenance, it was found that the front passenger side subframe was severely corroded. The air conditioning condensation line dripped fluid on top of the key suspension component, which caused the failure. The vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The dealer was not notified. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 62,000.
Passenger side rear subframe rusted and broke off i heard a clunking sound when i was going downthe street on the way to worki turned the cornerand heard a loud clunk sound and got under my car and looked and the passenger side rear subframe is broke off
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).

I purchase a 2000 honda accord 4dr.sedan, s/e new in 2000.on april 18,2005 while having the oil/filter changed at honda west in las vegas, nv i was informed that a sway bar link was broken. It was replaced by that dealership at a cost of $103.58 to me. I saw the broken part and it appeared to have broken at the weld on that part. That was the driver side.on sept 17, 2006, i was havingthe oil/filter changed and was told that the "sway bar link" on the passenger side was broken, i saw that also and it appears to have broken at the weld like the one on the drivers side a year before.at this point i have contacted honda of america and they say that the recall you show on july 12, 2000, campaign id number 00v184000 does not effect my vehicle.note i did not get the part that was replaced in las vegas, and i have appointment to have the broke part now replaced by battle creek honda probably on wednesday or thursday this week.i will get the broken part this time.

I bought my honda accord thisseptember. 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 optionalthings 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 thecar 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 isin 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.

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 pez 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-ppuservice history:2001 ? presentservice agency:honda dalton polanco de mxico, d.f.

It felt like my accelerator was stuck rather than a problem with the brakes.

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.

Clicking noise was coming from front suspension area.car was inspected by a local mechanic and stated that there was a water leak from the air conditioner condenser onto the passenger side of the front subframe. As a result, the subframe fractured on the passenger side. The mechanic stated that the subframe was rusted and fractured. The front subframe needed to be replaced. Mechanic stated that the car was unsafe to drive as it could have resulted in severe injuries/death.contacted american honda on 7-15-15 to get a goodwill repair since this is a common issue with other owners as a result of manufacture defect.amal, the representative in the product concerns department stated that it is honda's policy not to issue goodwill since the car is out of warranty and is 15 years old.honda - not everyone can afford brand new cars!!!your reputation has been to produce safe, dependable vehicles, but your lack of actual "customer support" shows otherwise.i was shocked to see that in 2012 this issue was brought to the public's attention including the safety regulators, 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.i urge nhtsa to do the right thing and represent us consumers by having honda issue a recall for this defect.please do something asap before people get hurt and we have another fiasco, i.e., gm ignition, takata airbags.
Engine check light went on twice. Took vehicleto dealer, and they said fuel filler: cap was not on properly.then,it was electrical system causingengine light to come on.a week later,srs light came on, indicating something wrong with airbag and seatbelts.
1st time dealer stated bad gas for car jerking when trying to accelerate andengine check light was on- fixed problem.2nd time (next day) car repeated same problem - another dealer stated bad gas and loose wire - fixed problem3rd time same dealer stated needed new top dead center sensor.sensor had malfunctioned.i know too many people who had the same problem and continue to even after getting fixed repeatedly.i am scared to drive my new car - not even a year old.
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 have a 2000 honda accord. It runs fine but, the other nite it locked me in. On the driver's side and i could not get out, i am disabled with a back injury. And this is not acceptable. If i were in a wreck it could have been worse. But, then 2 days later the car locked me in on both sides. I could not get out. My boyfriend finally got me out on the passenger side, but its been 3 days now and they can still not get my car undone on the driver's side. They have taken door panel apart and everything, still can't get it to open.( it was stationary when trying to unlock it)
Engine check light came on for the second time within a year.the first time i was told that the computer was too sensitive and they had to order a new computer - wait was approx 3-4 months.this happened at 3600 miles and was covered under warranty.less than a year later the engine check light came on, and the dealer told me it was oxygen sensor and it had to be replaced.the emission control system is unreliable for this to happen within 53k miles.
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.
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.
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 cableto 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.

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 feetbefore 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
Vehicle suffered sudden acceleration when shifting from park into drive. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information.ph
Consumer states while moving gear shift to drive, he/sheexperienced sudden acceleration, vehicle went airborn over a fence and hit a tree, the brakes would not work, so the consumer finally had to turn off the ignition, consumer states that the service dept couldn't find a problem. *yd
At 3 pm i drove down to pick up mail (from car window) at the end of pipestem. Backed up turning right to make u turn for return.straightened wheels and started forward to begin left turn on narrow road, a maneuver i have performed dozens of times. Car accelerated despite immediate braking and ran off embankment into woods. Unable to stop i deliberately hit a tree to avoid driving into pond.triple a pulled the car out of the woods and craftsman auto body of chantilly (va) did the repairs.i assumed it had been a glitch in the accelerator but could not prove it. I now practice throwing the car into neutral from time to time in case it happens again. Recent newspaper reports of similar cases induced me to make this report.
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 stopinside 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.
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!

While pulling into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated while my foot was on the brake. The enigne reved loudly, i was unable to stop the vehicle as the speed increased. The car surged over a median separating the parking space rows and struck two other cars in the row facing the row i was pulling into. My foot was on the brake the whole time, but the car kept accelerating. I contacted my dealer to see if there had been any similar reports. They reported none.
Would be waiting atlight.whenengine would start to rev up while footwas onbrakes, it would then take off. Needed to slam on brakes to prevent vehicle from moving. Been to dealership 5 times, but mechanic could not locate cause of problem.
On april 9, 2004, i was backing my 2000 honda accord, 4 door to a pump at a gas station.the car suddenly accelerated at such a velocity while backing that i ran into two other cars and stopped only when i ran into the service station building's wall.even though i applied the brake the car continued to careen out of control despite my efforts to stop it.it is most fortunate no one was maimed or killed.

The car took off like a bullet causing damage to both vehicles and landed me in apposing traffic. Thank god no-one was injured. Manufacturer found no defects or cause for malfunction.
Car was placed in park. Motor suddenly revved with loud clanking sound and vehicle shot forward and hit tree. After collision, transmission shifted into reverse.
I was driving my honda accord on a residential street, when the transmission started to shift erratically.the d4 light started to flash and the 'check engine' light came on.the honda dealership that serviced the vehicle told me that the transmission had failed.this from a car that i had purchased six weeks earlier.luckily the incident happened on a vacant road and not a highway on-ramp where smooth shifting is a life or death scenario.
Vehicle accelerated suddenly while the brakes were applied, resulting in a collision. Dealer has inspectedvehicle, and could not duplicate or correct the problem.

The accelerator pedal became stuck intermittently at 2-3 mph. The dealer could not find a problem.*nlm
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.
My 2000 honda accord lx (srs light remain on). Gas pedal get stuck, rotor and drum was bended.
While exiting the parking spacevehicle began to accelerate on its own.consumer tapped the brake, and the speed increased even more. As a result, driver loss control of vehicle an hit a concrete poll, and another vehicle.
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.
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.
Backing out of the driveway, my car accelerated, skid on ice and hit a tree.i put it in drive but again the car went out of control.i could not control its speed, andbraking was ineffective.it could not be stopped.i went through the back wall of our garage, causing great damage.
When the consumer stepped on the accelerator, nothing happened, then all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated out of control.after taking the auto to the dealer a number of times, the transmission was replaced , but it did not resolve the problem. Then after another visit to the dealer/mechanic, the consumer was told they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle, since the problem could not be duplicated.the consumer was advised, to keep a record of the mishaps and present it to the states attorney's office.then one day her husband was driving the vehicle, and it happened again, killing her husband in an auto collision. The consumer stated there was a recall in effect because of the problem.
Accelerator pedal sticks closed due to obstruction in throttle body.to overcome inertia; excess pressure on pedal is required.when obstruction clears; engine rpm is very high causing vehicle to surge if in gear. Cleaning throttle body is required every six months.cost is prohibitive.
I was applying brake pressure at low speed through a parking lot , made a turn to park reverse, foot on brake put car in reverse to back up, put foot lightly on gas pedal and it gain speedand lurched forward instead, over a curb, up an slight incline and hit library wall, and stopped. Air bag did not deploy. I am sore, it was towed and i pay to have it towed to my mechanic to look at next week.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer but the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
When braking or while stopping at stop light the engine races (rpms in red zone).must slam on brakes andshift into park to prevent vehicle from surging into traffic.this has occurred on four separate occasions--the first in december and the most recent one week ago.the problem appears to be identical with those reported for this vehicle in odi id 89408 and odi id 882677.can you advise how those problems were resolved.american honda advised me that they had had no complaints similar to mine, which obviously is not correct.

The accelerator stuck and i applied the brakes but the car continued to go faster. The car continued to gain speed which resulted with the right side of the car going in the ditch.this caused the car to airborne. When the car landed it continued to plow forward for another 20 feet or so before stopping two feet from another ditch.i was applying the brakes the entire time with no results.both of the air bags deployed which caused injury to my hand and arm.

Accelerator pedal (gas pedal) "sticks" when starting the car in the morning or after periods when the car is not used. Excessive amount of foot force needs to applied which results in high rpm (and quick jerk from stop if car is in drive) after pedal depresses. Dealer has been contacted, they offered no assistance and did not refer us to any other source for warranty help.
Vehicle accelerator - pedal stuck

The accelerator pedal locked up intermittently while driving. Thisalmost caused consumer's vehicle to hit another vehicle when consumer had to apply the accelerator pedal harder then normal. Vehicle accelerated at a high speed and lurched forward. Vehicle was taken to the dealer on two separate occasions, and dealer lubricated the linkage the first time, and replaced the accelerator throttle assembly the second time, butproblem recurred.
The contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contactnoticed resistance in the accelerator pedal so he applied more pressure to it. He felt as if "something gave way" and the pedal suddenly became stuck. He used his hand to place the pedal in the upright position and had no further problems. He had not taken the vehicle to the dealership to-date. When he called the manufacturer they instructed him to take it to the dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current mileage was approximately 121,000. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.
The accelerator stuck and i was unable to get the car to slow down.i attempted pulling the emergency brake, putting the car in first gear, and applying the break with no response.this incident was recorded on a911 call that i made during the entire event.i did give details of what i was doing to prevent the car from accelerating however all measures failed.i did eventually put the car in park and turned the key to get the vehicle to stop. Honda is now denying any malfuction.
To whom it may concern.we bought a new 2000 model year honda accord in nov. 1999. At 22k miles (may-july 2001), the gas pedal git stuck when the car was not used for a while, like first thing in the morning. We had to step on it hard and released quickly. Then it was good for the rest of the day. We report this to the dealer (leith honda). They fixed it and i have the report. A few months ago this problem re-occured. We have about 44k miles now. Leith honda charged me $85 to fix it. They did not charge us the first time. Their reason is that my car is out of warranty and this sticky gas pedal problem is caused by gasoline. They further claimed that all other vehicles have the same problem because of the gasoline. They told me that i have to bring the car it and clean the throttle body on a regular basis. Otherwise this sticky gas pedal problem will continue to occur. I have so many car in the last 25 years and never heard of this kind of news. I am very concerned about the safety caused by the sticky gas pedal. What would you recommend me to do to fix the problem? i have names of the service manager and mechanic who performed the "cleaning". I also have report on hand which show the "repair" work. Please contact me if you need more info and fact. Thanks for your looking into this matter. Best ragards, kien.

Impossible to see out of rear window -- defective material used by honda.
The window regulators and power door locks on the honda's i own keep failing and cost more than 300 dollars to repair. This seems to be a systemic problem on the honda's.
