2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH AROUND 117,000 MILES AND HAVE HAD ISSUES OF THE ACCELERATOR STICKING FOR AT LEAST A YEAR BUT NEVER THOUGHT TOO MUCH OFF IT UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING GARAGE. AS I WAS PULLING IN MY GAS PEDAL STUCK AND JERKED MY CAR FORWARD INTO A CEMENT WALL. I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT THREW MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE, MY STEREO IS NOW SUNKEN INTO MY DASHBOARD, I HIT MY HEAD ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR AND MY KNEE WENT INTO THE DASHBOARD. (THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH IS ALSO A LITTLE CONCERNING WITH HOW MUCH DAMAGE THERE IS TO MY CAR) MY FRONT BUMPER IS SCRATCHED AND CRACKED AND IT HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE PANEL. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT THEY QUOTED ME AT LEAST $200 DIAGNOSES THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE IS APPROACHING 107,000 MILES. AROUND A WEEK AGO (JUNE 1S, 2008) , SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. *TR

THE SAME YEAR, MAKE & MODEL LKE MY CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED A FEW YEARS BACK. THIS YR 2008 MY CAR HAD BARELY REACHED OVER 100,000 MILES AND I STARTED NOTICING MY CAR MAKING A SOUND AND THE CAR JUMPING SLIGHTLY AT TIMES WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. I DID MY TUNE UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND CHEVRON MECHANICS SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD A LEAK IN BETWEEN AND THE MOTOR. THEY INFORMED ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO I DID AND THEY GAVE ME A SO CALLED EXTENSION TO 109,000 WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEM AT ABOUT 108,000 MILES. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND TOLD ME THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND RAN TESTS ON IT AND FOUND NO LEAKS OR ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I THOUGHT MAYBE WHEN THEY DID THE TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE IT MIRACULOUSLY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT A FEW DAYS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND I HAVE BEEN CHECKING MY TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR OIL EVERY 3 TO 5 DAYS AND REFILLING BOTH CAUSE IT SEAMS BOTH ARE LEAKING. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER DIDN'T PUT THE TIME OR EFFORT TO CHECK WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION CAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS IN FACT LEAKING OIL. I WONDER IF THEY EVEN CHECKED MY CAR OR DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE EXPENSES IF IT INDEED FALL UNDER THE RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP ME AND INFORM ME ABOUT WHAT I CAN DO TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON INVESTIGATING IF IT IS A RECALL AT ALL. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT I HAVEN'T CAUSED MY CAR ANY DAMAGES OR NEGLECTS THAT WOULD MAKE ME AT FAULT FOR THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I ALWAYS KEPT MY CAR UP TO DATE WITH OIL CHANGES, TUNE UPS, ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS (SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHTS ILLUMINATED IN HER VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT DIM. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ASKED HER TO SIGN A RELEASE, BUT THE CONTACT REFUSED. THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE ORDERED IN MARCH OF 2008 AND WHEN SHE CALLED AGAIN IN APRIL 10, 2008, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER. MOST RECENTLY, WHEN SHE WENT TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THE STATUS, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THE ORDER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,834. UPDATED 06/16/08 *BF

SRS LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY. PAID DEALER $100 TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SEAT BELT BUCKLES NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $600. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE LIFETIME SEATBELT WARRANTY. *TR

AROUND MAY 10, 2008 WHILE DRIVING MY D3 INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY RAN SOME TEST AND SAID THAT THEY FOUND A P0780 SHIFT MALFUNCTION AND A P0303, P0305, P0306 EGR VALVE CODES. BOTH OF THESE CODES ARE PROBLEMS THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT. I HAVE RECEIVED WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR BOTH BUT THE EGR PROBLEM ONLY GOOD FOR 80,000 MILES AND THE TRANS WARRANTY IS GOOD FOR 100.000 MILES. INSTEAD OF GIVE OUT EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BE FIXED. THE EGR PROBLEM HAS COASTED ME 336.10 AND THE TRANS IS GOING TO COST 2467.38. I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX. I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR BOTH PROBLEMS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THESE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AND THE GEAR SHIFT IS IN ANY POSITION, THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS ON ITS OWN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

AIR BAGS-SRS LIGHT: LIGHT HAS BEEN ON A FEW WEEKS NOW, FOUND THAT IT IS A HONDA PROBLEM. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY, WILL AIR BAGS DEPLOY IN A CRASH? ALSO, NJ WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITH LIGHT ILLUMINATED, NOT SAFE. MAIN REASON FOR PURCHASE OF THE HONDA WAS THE SAFETY REPUTATION. WHEN WILL A RECALL/FIX BE ISSUED? *TR

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX IS APPROACHING 130,000 MILES. THE OTHER DAY THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE OPDS SENSOR AND BELT ASSEMBLY. I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE CONTROLLER UNIT WHICH HAD FAILED. I ASKED HOW A SOLID STATE COMPUTER COMPONENT WOULD FAIL OTHER THAN DEFECT AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW. I BELIEVE THAT A KEY SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS THIS ON A CAR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON RELATED COMPONENTS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE ARE DEFECTS IN THE SRS SYSTEM. *TR

SRS LIGHT TURNS ON INTERMITTENTLY. THIS LASTED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BUT NOW THE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON. *TR
