2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT, IT ROLLED INTO A NEIGHBOR'S YARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION WAS NOT IN THE OFF POSITION AND IT WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

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.

PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME RUSTED TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE ISSUE IS CLAIMED TO BE DUE TO WATER DRAINING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER ONTO THE SUBFRAME SECTION WHERE THE SWAY BAR MOUNTS. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FINE WITHOUT RUST. THE RUST IS VERY BAD AT THIS POINT AND HAS BROKEN THROUGH. THE REST OF THE SUBFRAME AWAY FROM THIS AREA IS FINE WITHOUT RUST OR SURFACE RUST WHICH CAN BE BRUSHED OFF TO EXPOSE GREY METAL IN GOOD SHAPE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I.E. RUSTED SUBFRAME UNDER THE AC DRAIN HOLE.

AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IN "REVERSE" TO GET INTO A STALL PARKING SPACE ON THE STREET, IT WAS SHIFTED INTO "DRIVE". WHILE BEING IN "DRIVE" AND TAPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WENT IN "REVERSE" UNCONTROLLABLY. THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID REVERSING INTO A WALL, THE VEHICLE TURNED AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE IMPACT POTENTIALLY INJURED A WOMEN THAT WAS STANDING BEHIND THE IMPACTED VEHICLE TALKING WITH SOMEONE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I AM NOT ON THE RECALL LIST HOWEVER I CALLED HONDA AS THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON.

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 AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. 2. I AM NOT A LOYAL HONDA OWNER AS I HAVE NOT BOUGHT ANOTHER HONDA. 3. NO REPAIRS THROUGH HONDA. 4. THE CAR IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD. I INFORMED HIM TO CHECK ANOTHER RECALL WHICH SUPERCEDES THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND DATED 3/14/2006. HE INFORMED ME TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AT MY EXPENSE AT HONDA AND THE CASE IS CLOSED. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS WAS A FAULT WITH HONDA AND IT IS NOT 10 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL AND I FEAR DRIVING MY ONLY CAR WITH AN ENORMOUS PROBLEM IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT - SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS AND AN ENORMOUS DANGER TO ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN.
