2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

HI, DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO REPORT THIS INFORMATION. I'VE CALLED BEFORE, LET IT RING FOR UP TO 20 MINUTES, WITH NO KIND OF PICK UP.I WAS GOING TO BUY THE MENTIONED VEHICLE FROM ROSS AUTO, AT 590 28TH ST SE, 49509 . I TOOK THE CAR TO RIVERTOWN HONDA IN GRANDVILLE, MI , KENOWA SW, 49509 FOR INSPECTION. ROSS'S CLAIMS CAR HAS 20,000 ACTUAL MILES. I BROUGHT IT BACK,QUITE LIVID WITH THE LIES. HE TOLD ME TO GIVE HIM CARFAX IN MY HAND, I SAID I WOULD FOR THE $35 FEE. HE FREAKED OUT,SAID THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME FOR BEING UPSET ABOUT THEIR LIES.I TOLD HIM TO GET THE CAR OFF THE LOT.THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY,DROVE TO ROSS', CAR STILL THERE. PRICE RAISED TO $7998.CALLED MY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE >TOLD ME TO CALL THE MY SECRETARY OF STATE.REP GAVE ME PHONE NUMBER CLAIMED 2 B A FEDERAL AGENCY.WAS NOT.CALLED BACK MY SEC STATE,ON HOLD > THAN 1/2HR, TOLD "THIS IS FEDERAL OFFENCE" >CALL ANOTHER #. TOLD>..."NOTHING U CAN DO,CAR IS> THAN 10 YRS OLD".I CALLED FBI IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI. TOLD ME IT'S ISSUE 2 TAKE UP W. THE MY SEC. OF STATE. SEE NOW WHY ROSS' LAUGHING ALL THE WAY 2 BANK, AS HE'S UNACCOUNTABLE 2 MY NEIGHBOR,[XXX] ,DISTRICT COURT JUDGE >OFFICE ABOUT A MILE FROM ROSS', IN CITY OF WYOMING COURT BUILDING. TOLD ME HE HAS NO JURISDICTION, DOESN'T OFFER LEGAL ADVICE. DON'T KNOW IF CAR IS STILL ON LOT. I PRESUME SOMEONE BOUGHT IT & BEEN RIPPED OFF ROYALLY. AT CLOSING TIME, MULTIPLE HISPANIC MEN DRIVE MANY OF THE CARS OFF THE LOT FOR SOME REASON. I FIND THIS QUITE PECULIAR. THIS SITUATION IS AN OUTRAGE, & I'M DUMBFOUNDED THAT THERE IS NO ONE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO STOP THESE LOW LIFES.SO WHAT IF CAR IS >MORE THAN TEN YEARS OLD? DOESN'T THE ODOMETER HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER ON IT THAT CAN PROVE IT'S MUCH LESS THAN TEN YEARS OLD? THIS IS A "TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE" BEING SOLD AS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT. INEXCUSABLE OUTRAGEOUSNESS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 35 MPH DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 V6 ON JULY 13, 2013 APPROXIMATELY @ 2.00 PM EST. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN INCREASING THE SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. SHOCKED BY THE RANDOM ACCELERATION, I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOMPING ON THE PEDAL IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK . THEREFORE IN ORDER TO AVOID GOING TOWARDS THE TRAFFIC I DECIDED TO DRIVE INTO THE WOODS ON TO MY RIGHT SIDE. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP INSIDE A WOODED AREA 45 YARDS FROM THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT LANE KNOCKING OFF ALL THE TREES ON ITS WAY. IT DEPLOYED BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED ( TOTALED). THERE WAS NO INJURIES TO ME OR ANY OTHERS IN THIS CRASH. I FIRMLY BELIEVE & SUSPECT THERE WAS SOME MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE'S SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM THAT RESULTED IN THIS MISHAP. IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP IF YOU COULD ASSIST IN CONTACTING HONDA MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

TL* 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. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ON UNEXPECTED AND INSTABLE..(SOMETIME ON, SOMETIME OFF). *TR

ON NOV 12, 2011 I WENT TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED AND THE WOULD NOT PASS IT BECAUSE THE FRONT REAR SUBFRAME IS ROTTED. THE DRIVER SIDE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION ....THE DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST $1600.. I KNOW IT'S OLD BUT IT ONLY HAS 72000 MILES ON IT ....IM HEARING THAT ALLOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ...I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT, AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR....I DON'T WANT TO SELL IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO GET HURT...HONDA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ... *TR

WE JUST GOT IN THE CAR AFTER VALET PARKING RETURNED IT TO US. AFTER THE FIRST BRAKE APPLICATION AT ABOUT 20 MPH THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE FOUND A PARKING SPACE AND CALLED FOR A TOW TO OUR HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED LATER TO SAY THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT THIS DEALER SINCE NEW AND HAD JUST HAD THE REQUIRED 150,000 MILE INSPECTION WITH NO MENTION OF A PROBLEM. IN 61 YEARS OF AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A PROBLEM. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE SUCH AS A LEAKY BRAKE CYLINDER. *TR

2000 V6 HONDA ACCORD DIED WITHOUT WARNING AT A STOPLIGHT AND SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT OVER SHORTER AND SHORTER TIME PERIODS/DISTANCES. DURING THE FIRST FEW SEVERAL OCCURRENCES LIKE THIS IT JUST DIED EITHER WHILE STOPPED OR WHILE RUNNING BUT COULD BE RE-STARTED BY PUTTING CAR INTO PARK GEAR AND RE-STARTING. NO WARNING, NO SPUTTERING, NO SHAKING AND SO ON PRIOR TO ANY OF THE DYING. THE ONLY INDICATION IT HAS DIED IS THE DASH PANEL INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD ALL BE ON AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS JUST BEING STARTED. DURING RE-START THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS WOULD BE LIT LIKE THEY SHOULD BE JUST PRIOR TO STARTING. NOW AS OF YESTERDAY THE PATTERN HAS CHANGED TO STILL DIES AND THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS COME ON BUT WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN TRY TO RE-START NONE OF THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AND ALL YOU HEAR IS THE CRANKING OF THE ENGINE BUT NOT STARTING. EVENTUALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES (1-5 MINUTES) OF BEING OFF YOU COULD THEN RE-START THE CAR AND THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT UP PRIOR TO THE RE-START LIKE THEY SHOULD. UNFORTUNATELY TOWARD THE END OF YESTERDAY THAT PATTERN AGAIN CHANGED TO WHERE THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON DURING THE ATTEMPT TO RE-START EVEN AFTER 40 MINUTES. I CALLED HONDA ON 06/18/2013 AND SPOKE TO AN AGENT AND TOLD HER THAT I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL FOR DEALING WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH UNDER RECALL#:36754 IN THE USA AND ALSO ANOTHER IN CANADA FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE MY ACCORD IS DEMONSTRATING. HONDA SEEMS TO WANT TO HID BEHIND THE IDEA THAT IF MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL THEN I AM OUT OF LUCK. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DRIVING CONDITION THE CAR DIES WHILE MOVING WITHOUT WARNING. I AM SURE THEY ARE OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE (WEB IS FULL OF OWNERS DECREEING THIS ISSUE) THAT HAVE JUST HAD CAR REPAIRED BUT NEVER FILED REPORT HERE TO BRING ISSUE TO YOUR ORGANIZATION'S ATTENTION. *TR

SRS INDICATOR REMAINS ON AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS DUE TO FAULTY DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH. THIS IS ISSUE RECOGNIZED BY THE HONDA VIA BULLETIN BUT REFUSED TO FIX IT. THIS ISSUE RELATED TO AIR BAG AND SHOULD BE FIXED SINCE IT IS A BASIC SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED. BOTH HONDA AND DEALER DULLES HONDA ARE REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS BASIC SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER IF AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. *TR

2000 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL REPORT . *SMD THE CONSUMER PROVIDED A LIST OF RECALLS. HOWEVER, SHE WAS INFORMED THEY DID NOT APPLY TO HER VEHICLE. UPDATED 06/26/14

HEARD SOME STRANGE NOISES AND TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC. THEY REPORTED THAT THE REAR BEAM HAD RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND TOLD ME IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW COMMON TO THAT YEAR ACCORD. THEY NOTED THAT THE SAME PART ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NOT RUSTED AND ATTRIBUTED THE PASSENGER SIDE PROBLEM TO IT'S LOCATION BENEATH THE DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
