2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

HONDA ACCORD 2000 - CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE CAR BEING IN PARK. WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER, AND BY HONDA USA, THAT MY CAR DIDN'T FALL INTO THE ONES COVERED BY FACTORY RECALL. NOT SURE WHEN IT FIRST STARTED ONLY REALLY NOTICED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. *TR

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD IS SHOWING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (P0740, P0730) WITH 123K. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL PAGE WITH WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 100K OR 7 YEARS SO I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR BOTH. THE WARRANTY CLEARLY TELLS THERE MAY BE A MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP ISSUE. HONDA IS WASHING THEIR HANDS AND ASKING ME TO PAY 2200$ FOR REPAIR. WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES?AND I FIRST FELT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED HIGHWAY(DURING THE EVACUATION OF HURRICANE IKE) AND LUCKILY SAVED FROM A BIG ACCIDENT,. I HAD 4 PEOPLE AND A KID IN MY CAR. THIS IS SURELY A MATTER OF SAFETY. I COULD SEE A LOT OF HONDA TRANSMISSION ISSUE AFTER THE INCIDENT IN WEB. PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO TAKE THESE VEHICLES OUT OF THE ROAD AS IT MAY CAUSE BIG ACCIDENTS AND HONDA TO REPLACE ALL FAULTY PARTS. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2000 AND AFTER 3 YEARS OF DRIVING I NOTICED A SLIPPING FEELING AS I ACCELERATED. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND HE SUGGESTED DOING A FULL FLUSH. I HAVE DONE SEVERAL FLUSHES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS AND MY PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THIS PROBLEM IS A MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL YEARS AGO! *TR

I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2000. I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS REIMBURSED BY HONDA. THIS TIME I'M TOLD IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE $700 SRS CONTROLLER AND IS NOT COVERED. I'M TOLD THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHILE THIS LIGHT IS ON. MINE, AND MANY OTHER 2000 ACCORDS HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM AND IT IS INEXCUSABLE THAT IT NOT BE COVERED BY RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG AND SERVICE ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT FOUND NO DEFECTS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE COOLING FAN WOULD REMAIN ACTIVATED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE COULD ONLY PLACE HALF A TANK OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHEN IT HAD A FULL TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 199,259 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX 4CYL 2.3L 2 DOOR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM DUVAL HONDA 1290 CASSAT AVE JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA 32205 (904-899-1900) IN APRIL OF 2008. THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOW THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO EVERY GEAR AS IT SHIFTS AND SLIPS OUT OF GEAR FREQUENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. NOT KNOWING IF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM EXISTED I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AROUND FOR TRANSMISSIONS TO FIND THEY COST BETWEEN $1400 AND $3000 TO BE REPLACE TO INCLUDE LABOR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE ALL STORES ARE INFORMING ME THE PROBLEM WILL RETURN SOON WITH THIS SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DONE SEVERAL INTERNET SEARCHES TO FIND I AM NOT THEE ONLY HONDA OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE AND I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF MY CONCERNS WITH THIS VEHICLE ALSO. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 68K MILES OR SO AND IS NOW AROUND 80K FOR MILES. THIS ARE NOT NORMAL AREAS OF MILEAGE WHERE A TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE FAILING. I FEEL THIS UNSAFE AND CHRONIC PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BY HONDA, EITHER BY A FACTORY RECALL (100% PAID FOR BY HONDA) OR A TOTAL BUY BACK OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE THEY HAVE SO BLATANTLY AND PURPOSELY SOLD DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE VEHICLES PLACING NOT ONLY MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS BUT ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IN DANGER. IF THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES I KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL CEASE TO WORK AND I MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND HURTING SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THIS MECHANICAL DEFECT HONDA HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE. I AM HOPING THIS LETTER WILL HELP AIDE IN A PUSH TO GET HONDA TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2008 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE BACK OF A STOPPED VEHICLE AT A SIGNIFICANT SPEED.
