2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I AM ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM MY IGNITION WHEN MY CAR IS IN GEAR. I HAVE CHECKED THE NHTSA DATABASE AND THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE ON 2000 HONDA ACCORDS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V025000 ). I WENT TO HONDA AND SPOKE WITH THE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO FOR ME AS MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR'S VIN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST, AS IT IS EXHIBITING THE RECALL SYMPTOMS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FAILED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE GAUGE READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V256000 (INTERIOR LIGHTING) THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

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. *TR

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.

2000 HONDA ACCORD RECEIVED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. CONSUMER STATES TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT SHE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE GEARS WOULD SLIP AND GRIND UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION AND WHILE DRIVING. *JB

MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO 'OVERHEAT'. THE CAR WILL START AND GO FINE WHEN COLD BUT WHEN THE ENGINE GETS HOT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS BADLY. *TR

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. *TT
