“Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that the SRS air bag warning light had illuminated on his vehicle. He later received a notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v027000(air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. Lodi honda (1700 s. Cherokee ln, lodi, ca 95240) was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available for the recall repair.”
Owner complaint, filed May 7, 2020 at 140,000 miles
“Srs light came on while stationary at home parked. I went to honda dealership and was told it has a 7-3 code for 'internal failure'. They advised me to pay $1056 to replace computer. They said this only comes on when vehicle has been in an accident and airbags deployed. My car has never been in accident. I feel this is a manufacturing defect as well as a safety issue and should be covered.”

Defect. Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.

These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge.

The subject vehicles are designed with an occupant position detection system (opds) for the passenger seat to suppress the side airbag in the event of an out-of-position occupant.on some vehicles, the opds unit and sensor grid may be susceptible to high moisture content and/or to sporadic electrical interference that would result in the illumination of the SRS readiness indicator.in this condition, opds suppression will not function, but the side airbag will still deploy in the event of a side crash. Honda issued a technical service bulletin in april 2004 to address this problem. However, the …

With all the airbag recalls, is the reason they have not recalled them on my 2000 Honda Accord and my 1996 BMW 328ic because there are so few still on the road and should a death or injury occur, it’s only one so not worth recalling them? I find it hard that cars not quite as old have been recalled but these have not. My son still owns his 1999 Honda civic, too! Thank you for your time and dedication to safety.

Hello, The ignition switch in my vehicle has never worked right. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for a airbag recall and was told them about the ignition switch problem and recall. They said they would not do the recall and wanted me to call Honda. I called Honda and was told that I would have to pay for diagnostic fee before they would attempt any repairs for this recall. The Honda case number is 14383356. I refuse to pay a fee for what should be a free recall. If you could please help me with this issue I would certainly appreciate it. The recall information is as follows: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:05V-025 MFR CAMPAIGN ID:P68 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:99-02 ACCORD IGN INTERLOCK RECALL DATE:01/27/2005 Thank you in advance for all your help.
Power Train

On this vehicle, it is common knowledge that the V6 models have an issue related to the transmission (referred to as the automatic transaxle by Honda) where the system was not reworked to account for the extra torque put out by the more powerful V6 engine causing it to strip and shred portions of the gearing causing gear slippage, rough idling, and other similar issues usually occuring sometimes around or after the 80k mile mark. Upon finding out about this, I did some research and Honda's "solution" offered was that transmissions could be swapped for rebuilt ones salvaged off of other vehicles brought in for similar issues but there have also been reports of these rebuilt transmissions beginning to fail after they reach an additional 80k miles proving the issue was not truly resolved. On top of this, a formal recall was never made, owners were not made aware of this, and the offer was only made available to those who brought their vehicles in for this issues within a certain number of years and certain of mileage after their purchase which is very unsafe, anti-consumer, and shows a lack of care and responsibility on their part especially since this issue affects not only V6 Accord models, but also affects Ridgeline, Odyssey, and CR-V models that use the same engine and transmission combo. It should also be noted that, due to the lack of notice or action regarding this issue on the manufacturer's part, it has never been resolved on my model as the prior owners never knew of t

The seatbelt SRS system light was previously identified as defective by American Honda. When my notification light came on I immediately took vehicle to Honda Dealership for repair. I have been forced to do so multiple time during my vehicle ownership. Currently the SRS light has come back on yet Honda refuses to fully and completely repair the cause. I fear for my safety and others should an unfortunate accident were to occur. I reported the issue to American Honda. Incident report number 12902734.

I had this car for a few weeks with 120K miles on it and the transmission died on me while driving and almost got hit with a big rig. Lucky the big rig has enough distance to slam that break. This car needs attention and recall with the transmission. Been reading a lot of faulty transmission for this model and no recall. Not sure if a crash or fatality will occur first before they will initiate a recall. Honda is a reliable company but has this many complaints and no recall has been initiated.

I received a letter about the airbag recall for my 2000 Honda Accord EX back in year 2020, so I call the dealer in Sanford to make an appointment. They tell me I have to take my car in first, then they will inspect it and order the part (AutoNation Honda Sanford 407-323-6100). I arrived early, they took my car in and in about an hour later they called me that my car was ready. I was surprised on how fast the job was done. I looked at the invoice paperwork Honda gave me and left home. At my house I was looking at the invoice and it did not show anywhere where the airbag was recalled, so there was NO second appointment. I called on the same day of my appointment (Nov. 14, 2020) and speak to a rep who I explained the situation. She placed me on hold a few times and at one point I asked to speak to the person who was in charge who was Michael Donaldson (service advisor 7927). I explained to the service manager that I did not see anything about the airbag being recalled. He said after the tests they performed, my car did not need the airbag to be replaced, so they did not schedule another appointment because of that. Mr. Donaldson did tell me that Honda performed a SOFTWARE update and that would be it. I asked Mr. Donaldson "how a software update is going to fix the metal pieces inside the airbag?" His replied was "that was all the car needed". I decided not to call the same Honda dealer again, but did call Holler Honda (407) 629-1234. Unfortunately before I was able to take my ca

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6 3.0 VTEC ENGINE IS HAVING SOME ISSUES AFTER IT HEATS UP WHEN I START IT WOULD DO SOME ERRATIC RPM CHANGES ON IDLE AND THEN STALL. IF I MANAGE TO GET IT MOVING DESPITE RPM DROPS, IT RUNS GREAT AND WOULD NOT STALL AGAIN. ALSO, IF I LEAVE IT FOR A WHILE (LIKE 15 MINUTES) AND THEN COME BACK, IT USUALLY STARTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT WITH PCM AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH ETHANOL HAVING A LOWER BOILING POINT THAN TRADITIONAL GAS. THIS CAUSES IT TO VAPORIZE ON THE FUEL RAIL WHEN THE CAR'S WARM, BUT NO LONG PUMPING GAS BECAUSE IT'S OFF. WHEN YOU GO TO RE-START THE CAR, INSTEAD OF LIQUID GAS, YOU ARE SPURTING ON FUMES ON THE RAIL. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS FIXED ON MY CAR YET I'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES ONLINE AND REFERS TO THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM I'VE HAD MY CAR SERVICE WITH A TUNE-UP OIL CHANGE AND A FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR IT IS STILL GIVING ME ISSUES I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE IS VALIDITY TO MY CLAIM.

Complaints 1-50 of 1,183, newest first, reproduced as filed.
Going by the federal record, it is one of the Accord years to avoid: owners filed 1,183 complaints, 2.2 times as many as a typical Accord year. The most common complaint is about the airbags (35%).
What is the most common problem with the 2000 Honda Accord?
The airbags: 418 of the 1,183 complaints (35%) are about it. Owners most often say it shows an airbag warning light (59%), sets off warning lights on the dash (30%) and did not deploy its airbags in a crash (6%). The typical report comes at 77,000 miles.
How many recalls does the 2000 Honda Accord have?
21 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Jan 17, 2020. The largest, 20V026000, covered 1,439,841 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.
At what mileage do 2000 Honda Accord problems start?
Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 90,800 miles. For the airbags the midpoint is 77,000 miles.
Has NHTSA investigated the 2000 Honda Accord?
Yes, 5 times. The latest, PE05043 ("SRS READINESS INDICATOR ILLUMINATION"), was opened Aug 12, 2005 and closed Mar 24, 2006.
Are there service bulletins for the 2000 Honda Accord?
The manufacturer filed 253 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the engine (49), the electrical system (43) and the transmission (41). They include a warranty extension, SB-06-009, filed Aug 20, 2012. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
2 deaths reported in complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Most recent recall on file: Jan 17, 2020. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
