2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND WOULD NEED REPLACING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V256000 (INTERIOR LIGHTING) BUT DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

THE ABOVE INFORMATION WAS FROM THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MY WIFE HAS TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT ALLOWS THIS CAR TO HAVE THE KEYS REMOVED WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE IS OFF (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PEO5002). SHE CONTACTED HONDA WHILE IN ORLANDO FL BUT THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR HER VIN. THIS IS STILL PROBLEM AND I CONTACTED HONDA TODAY AND WAS TOLD I COULD HAVE IT FIXED BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I AM NOT SURE BUT I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IF THE PROBLEM EXISTS ON IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO SO HONDA WILL COMPLY WITH THEIR RECALL.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,213. UPDATED 09/01/2011 *LN *TR

I OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE I AM ON THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ALSO WHEN I PULL OVER THE ENGINE WILL START IMMEDIATELY, BUT NOW IT IS HARD TO START AND WILL STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING IT. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER ON 6/7/11. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR UNTIL JUNE 9, 2011, BUT SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT NOBODY HAS BEEN BEHIND ME WHEN THE CAR HAS DIED. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN ON 6/18/11 AND SPOKE WITH ANITA, WHO MADE IT SEEM LIKE I WAS CRAZY. SHE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE CHECKED FOR ANY OPEN RECALLS. I LOOKED ON LINE AND I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER HONDA OWNERS. MY CAR HAS 103,000 MILES, AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN FEBRUARY, BUT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT YOU INVESTIGATED THIS UNDER CAMPAIGN NUMBER 02V120000 BUT I DIDNT SEE THAT 2000 ACCORDS WERE INCLUDED IN THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT
