2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* 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.

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 PROBLEM WAS 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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT BLOCK THE REMOVAL OF THE IGNITION KEY WHEN THE VEHICLE ISN'T IN PARK. I HAVE PARKED MY CAR, REMOVED MY KEY NOT REALIZING THE CAR IS IN PARK, THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO ROLL WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AND ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. THERE ARE PREVIOUS RECALLS ON THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD HOWEVER HONDA ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL HOWEVER IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER PE05002 AS WELL AS PE03014. *TR
