2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE SRS LIGHT HAS GONE OFF APPROXIMATELY ONCE A YEAR FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 5 YEARS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAUSED BY A SENSOR IN THE SEAT BELT, WHICH IS COVERED BY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE DEALER ALWAYS TRIES TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSIS FEE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE EVERY TIME THE LIGHT GOES OFF. IT IS ALSO A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS THE SEATBELT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE FREQUENTLY NOT WORKING. *LN

I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION GO OUT TWICE IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. EACH TIME, THE GEARS START CLUNKING WHILE SHIFTING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AND IS COMPLETELY USELESS. CURRENTLY, MY CAR WILL REV UP LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL AND THEN SPONTANEOUSLY SLAM INTO GEAR AND SLIP BACK INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN WHICH HAS, AGAIN, RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE THE ISSUE BETTER. *TR

I HAVE HONDA V6 2000 ACCORD AND I AM GETTING P0740 AND P0730 ERROR CODES. I DID CHANGE MY TRANSMISSION OIL RECENTLY WITH HONDA ATF. FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD IT NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. CAR ACTS VERY UNSAFE AND IT JERKS A LOT. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED DOES NOT ACT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND THIS IS BECOMING A HAZARD WHEN PUT IN TO TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V256000 (INTERIOR LIGHTING) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX 4CYL COUPE WHICH WAS GIVEN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 97K MILES BECAUSE OF A RECALL. IT HAS 140K MILES NOW AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE IT AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH THIS ONE ONLY HAS $40K MILES ON IT. THEY WANT ME TO PAY $2200. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS MODEL ACCORD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 85 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND APPLIED THE BRAKES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF TWICE AND RESTARTED IT; THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AFTER THE RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DEFECTIVE; IT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 163,252. UPDATED 01/26/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUDDEN ACCELERTION LASTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMAINED STUCK AT FULL THROTTLE. UPDATED 03/09/11

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE 4TH TIME. FIRST TIME @ 60,000 MILES, THAN 80,000 MILES, THAN 140,000 MILES. HONDA SUCKS... ALL THEY TELL ME NOW IS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THE 2000 ACCORDS HAVE MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA V6 COUPE FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, IT WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING IF SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. IT WOULD START AND THEN STALL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STARTED IS TO GIVE IT GAS AND SHIFT INTO GEAR QUICKLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. ALSO THERE WAS A TSB 00-024 FOR THIS AND I GOT IT DONE FOR CLOSE TO $710. THIS REALLY ISN'T FAIR AS I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY A CASE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE 6 CYLINDERS THE OTHER DAY ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE FOR NO APPARENT REASON JUST QUIT AND LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR IT FINALLY DID START A GAIN AND RAN FINE. *TR
