2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

SRS LIGHT ON DASH...HEARD THAT IT IS THE OPDS SENSOR GOING OUT HAVE NOT REPAIRED YET. *TR

THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON MY YEAR, MAKE & MODEL THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. HOWEVER, HONDA CLAIMS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FIND IT VERY ODD THAT I COULD BE EXPERIENCING BOTH OF THE RECALLS, BUT MY CAR IS EXCLUDED. I ALSO HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE CLEARCOAT ON '98-'02 HONDA'S PEELING. HONDA IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE CLEARCOAT. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR WAS A RECALL BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN HONDA. THE CAR ONLY HAS 93,587 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN. WHEN I CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS A RECALL WITH THE WARRANTY THE SEVEN YEARS AND 9 MONTHS OR 109,000 MILES. OF COURSE WHEN I CALL THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I NEVER RECEIVED THAT LETTER. THEY TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE RECORD OF MY ADDRESS. *TR

CAR WAS IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE ALMOST STOPPED RUNNING. SEEMED LIKE IT HAD ONLY 1 OR 2 CYLINDERS WORKING. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING LOT, TURN OFF ENGINE, WOULDN'T RESTART. TOWED IN TO SHOP AND FOUND GASOLINE FILLING 3 CYLINDERS (6 CYL. ENGINE). BROKE A CONNECTING ROD, REPLACED ENGINE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE ON EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE. HIGH BRAKE LIGHT IN REAR WINDOW WILL LIGHT UP, BUT OTHER BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP WHEN BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. TOOK TO HONDA OF SEATTLE. THEY TOOK ELECTRICAL WIRING APART AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER, AND IT WORKED TEMPORARILY, BUT THEY DID KNOW WHY IT WAS FIXED. ONE WEEK LATER, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVER'S SEAT TRACK IS NOT BOLTED TO THE GROUND OR THE SEAT; THEREFORE, THE SEAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRACKING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHORT DISTANCES, THE ENGINE BECAME HOT AND THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START, SHAKE, AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V12000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,621 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. UPDATED 03-11-08 *BF

TWO YEARS AGO MY DASH LIGHTS WOULD JUST SUDDENLY GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON, MY SRS LIGHT STAYED ON AS WELL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY RESET MY SRS LIGHT BUT TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. LAST YEAR MY DASHLIGHT PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND MY SRS LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW DRIVERS SIDE MULTIPLEX UNIT AND THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY SRS. I HAVE A 2000 2DR V6 EX. I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE A SUNROOF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTO ZONE AND NO FAILURE WAS FOUND AT THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 88,000. UPDATED 04/21/08 *BF

THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSTANTLY FOR THE PAST WEEK. THE DEALER CHARGES $97 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE ANY CHARGE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. *TR
