2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD 2000 AND THE CAR HAS 72K. THE SRS WARNING LIGHT WENT ON FOR NO REASON. I READ ON THE WEBSITE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I HOPE HONDA WILL HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL THE OWNERS. *TR

I PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD AS A SECOND OWNER APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO AND AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF DRIVING STARTED TO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS IS A NORMAL COMPLICATION WITH THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX. THERE IS WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WROTE HONDA TO SEE IF THEY HAD MORE INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF PROBLEMS THAT COULD HAPPEN FROM THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND AFTER REACHING THE HIGHEST LEVEL PERSON I COULD GET, HE TOLD ME HE HAD NO INFORMATION. AFTER ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY THING HONDA COULD DO, REALIZING THAT THEY HAVE MOVED THERE WARRANTY FROM 30,000 MILES TO 110,000 MILES TO COVER THIS PROBLEM, HE AGAIN STATED HE HAD NO INFORMATION. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE DID NOT KNOW IF THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION COULD LEAD TO A HAZARD OR NOT. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT ONCE YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT CONCERNS ARE NOT TYPICALLY COVERED, BUT THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY HAZARD. DUE TO HONDA'S FAULTY CONSTRUCTION, MANY TRANSMISSIONS WERE REPLACED OR NEED REPLACED AT THE OWNERS COST. I WAS WONDERING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS RELATED TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION (HESITATION WITH PRESSING GAS PEDAL, AND DECREASE OF USE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR). BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY, I BELIEVE HONDA RECOGNIZES THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT LEAVE MANY INDIVIDUALS TO FIND THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS. I HAVE OWNED HONDA'S FOR YEARS AND WILL PROBABLY MAKE IT MY LAST. I AM NOW, HOWEVER, STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS VERY POSSIBLY SAFETY HAZARDS TO ME AS A DRIVER. EVEN IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPAIRED, THERE ARE MANY CASES OF FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES OF DIFFERENT TRANSMISSIONS. AS TO DATE, I HAVE NOT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO GET HARDER TO DRIVE. THANKS *TR

SRS ONBOARD COMPUTER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILURE AT 5 MILES. 9-3 SEAT BELT DRIVER SIDE FAILURE 85K. AMERICAN HONDA STATES IT IS BY DESIGN AND EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE BELTS THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS. *TR

COMMENT: IT IS RELATED TO A SAFETY ISSUE, MEANING SOME PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. HE FOUND A RECALL FOR THE SRS LIGHT; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE LIGHT HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 67,000. UPDATED 03-04-08 *BF THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE SRS TESTED.

I & MY INLAW BOUGHT THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX IN THE SAME WEEK (9/1999), AFTER 7 YEARS, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME WITH NO INCIDENTS OCCURRED. ALSO IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED HONDA MANUFACTURER, THEY REJECTED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLE THEY COVER UP TO 10 YEARS ON THE OPDS (OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM) UNIT, WHICH FAILED AND CAUSED THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS WITHOUT APPARENT REASON. DEALERS HAVE LOOKED AT IT, RESET IT AND IT AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX IS ON. THIS INDICATES A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, INCREASING MY RISK FOR INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY AS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR
