2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY CAR IS A HONDA ACCORD 2000 4 DOOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE IN THIS CAR. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN 2006 THE SECOND WAS APRIL 2009. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 50,000 MILES BEFORE I NEEDED THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE LASTED MORE THAN 50000 MILES. BOTH TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WAS DONE AT A DEALERSHIP WITH HONDA PARTS. *TR

AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT SEAT CAME UN-WELDED ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT BACK AND FORTH. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, IT NEEDED TO BE WELDED. AUTO REPAIR SAID THAT IT COULDN'T BE WELDED, I NEEDED AT LEAST A NEW SEAT FRAME ($300-$400) OR POSSIBLY A WHOLE NEW SEAT ($800-$900).*TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE HONDA'S I OWN KEEP FAILING AND COST MORE THAN 300 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM ON THE HONDA'S. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ALL 4 DOORS OF MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND 2 DOORS ON MY 2004 HONDA PILOT. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN THE CAR, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS YOU CAN'T PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP ONCE THIS HAPPENS. *TR

VEHICLE IDLE REAL LOW AND SHUT OFF WHEN STOP. WHEN THAT HAPPEN I RESTART ENGINE, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STAY RUNNING, I HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS WHILE I HAVE A FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. NO REPAIRS HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING SRS SYSTEM. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V4. WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL LAST WEEK FRIDAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE D4 LIGHT ALSO BEGAN TO BLINK. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER AND WHILE PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. WITH OTHER CARS BEHIND ME THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT WITH MY SON IN THE CAR. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT AND THIS COULD COST UP TO $3000. I WENT TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY CHANGED THE SOLENOIDS. AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING FINE, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE BRINGING MY SON TO SCHOOL. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE TORQUE CONVERTER CHANGED OR TO POSSIBLY HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. WHILE SEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH EARLY 2000 HONDA ACCORDS AND ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE IS AN EXTENSION ON THIS WARRANTY WHICH DOES ME NO GOOD SINCE I AM PAST IT. ANYTHING DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE A BIG HELP ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR IN MOVING TRAFFIC. *TR

THE COIL PACKS HAVE CAUSED MISFIRINGS. THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLINK. *TR

THE ISSUE AT HAND INVOLVES A 2000 HONDA ACCORD (COUPE); I AM ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK. I AM NOT SURE OF WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGAN. HOWEVER, IN MID-2008, I MISTAKENLY LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND REMOVED THE KEY WHEN PARKING MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT, I LEFT THE PARKING LOT AND MY CAR PROCEEDED TO ROLL BACKWARD AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE AT SOME POINT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MONTH. AFTER THIS POINT, I RESEARCHED RECALL INFORMATION AND SAW THAT IN 2005, NHTSA ISSUED CAMPAIGN 05V025000. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED. MY VEHICLE DID INDEED HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (MALFUNCTIONING INTERLOCK) AS THE ONE IN THE RECALL, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THAT RECALL. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT THOUGH MY CAR FALLS INTO THE DATE RANGE, MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS RECALL AND POSSESSES THE SAME ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A COINCIDENCE. I AM IN DANGER OF LOSING COVERAGE AS A RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION AND CLOGGING. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 626561 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)). THE FAILURE EXCEEDED THE CONSTRAINTS FOR THE VOLUNTARY WARRANTY EXTENSION CAMPAIGN; THEREFORE, THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. SHE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WAS INOPERATIVE. ON ONE OCCASION, A VEHICLE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE OCCUPANT SUSTAINED MODERATE INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

2000 ACCORD SEDAN, BRACKET THAT ATTACHES DRIVER'S SEAT BOTTOM TO SEAT BASE FRACTURED AT LEFT FRONT WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPY RAILROAD CROSSING, CAUSING SEAT TO LURCH BACK, NEARLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. NOW, SEAT LURCHES BACK WITH EVERY ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA STATES THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY ACTION AVAILABLE AND STATES THAT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE02072 IS INAPPLICABLE AS THERE IS NO RECALL CODE FOR MY VIN IN THEIR INTERNAL SYSTEM. THEIR ONLY PROPOSED CORRECTION ACTION IS A $ 1,500 PLUS REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAT TRACK, AT MY EXPENSE. *TR
