2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

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.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. USUALLY STARTS BACK UP. MY RESEARCH INDICATES IGNITION SWITCH WHICH I HAVE FOUND HONDA HAS HAD RECALLED IN THE PAST

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 SPEED AND 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.

PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED OUT. SWAY BAR BUSHING BROKE OFF WHILE DRIVING HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 260514

TAKATA RECALL A HEAD ON COLLISION, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT.

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 OFF WHILE IN TRAFFIC TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION, THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (SACCUCCI HONDA 1350 W. MAIN ROAD, MIDDLETON, RI 02842) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 124,000. UPDATED 08/31/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. THE MODEL WAS PREVIOUSLY SUBJECTED TO A RECALL, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JS

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.

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.

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.
