2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE PCM AND THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE IN A PARKING GARAGE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE GARAGE. THE CAR ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE, SLAMMING INTO TWO PARKED VEHICLES. THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED FORWARD, SLAMMING INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN AND COMING TO A REST. I ATTEMPTED TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. IT FELT LIKE MY ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK RATHER THAN A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

I WAS TRAVELING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS AT A SPEED OF UNDER 5 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. MY PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR IDLED AT A HIGH RPM FOR 2-3 SECONDS AFTER IT STOPPED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION ON 4 OR 5 PRIOR OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE BACKING. THE LAST TIME I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS IN SEPT. 2006; A DEALER MECHANICAL INSPECTION AT THAT TIME CHECKED THE TCM/PCM FOR DTC AND FOUND NO STORED CODES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE FROM THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 05V025000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 164,200.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH INTERLOCK FAILED; THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY. THE VEHICLE THEN ROLLED DOWN A HILL INTO SOME BUSHES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 120,000.

THE SRS LIGHT HAS TURNED ON SO THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAGS. IF ANYONE WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT DEATHS WILL OCCUR AS THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. WITH A BIT OF RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORDS DATING FROM 1998-2011. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2000/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/SRS_LIGHT_IS_ON.SHTML THIS WEBSITE PROVIDES MANY OWNERS' ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE CAUSED. IT IS A LETHAL DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD BE SOLVING THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY RIDICULOUS PRICES FOR IT TO GET FIXED JUST TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT COME ON MOMENTS AFTER THE SO CALLED REPAIRS. THE CUSTOMERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, IT IS HONDA. PLEASE CONTACT HONDA AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. FOR EVERY MOMENT DELAYED, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT TO OCCUR DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. HONDA LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD COVER THIS, BUT THEY DON'T. SEAT BELT SWITCHES WERE CHECKED AND OK SO SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR COST ESTIMATE: UP TP $900. WHY ISN'T NHTSA ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE? LOOK AT THE LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS IN THE DATABASE! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AT ANY SELECTED GEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD BEGUN TO PIT CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GLARE FROM THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE NIGHT DUE TO THE GLARE OF HEADLIGHTS OR DURING THE DAY WITH THE GLARE OF THE SUN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I'D DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY OR UP A HILL TO GET TO A PARKING STRUCTURE AT SCHOOL AND THE CAR WOULD STALL AND SLIP GEARS WHERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS OR PEOPLE BEHIND ME WOULD GET ANNOYED AND PASS AT RELATIVELY CLOSE AND HIGH SPEEDS. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON ME ROUGHLY 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. I BARELY COULD MAKE IT OVER 10 MPH AND HAD MY CAR SIT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR 6 MONTHS. MY BROTHER HAS PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND SUGGESTED I PUT NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID IN, BUT THE FLUID IS FULL AND THE CAR STILL SLIPS. I KNEW IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH IS MORE COMPLICATED SINCE I KNOW THAT'S A LOT MORE PRICEY THAN WHAT I CAN AFFORD RIGHT NOW, AND ALL I WANT IS FOR MY CAR TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AGAIN SINCE THIS CAR SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER SINCE IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
