2000 Honda Accord complaints

I STARTED TO FEEL A LITTLE SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. I CALLED AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HONDA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR THREE DAYS SO I TOOK IT TO MIDAS IT. THE MAN TOLD ME I HAD SOME VERY BAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND COULD NOT TOUCH IT. HE SAID IT WAS LEAKING FLUID OUT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ALL HE COULD DO WOULD BE TO FILL IT UP WITH THE SPECIAL FLUID THAT HONDA USES. SO $80.00 BUCKS LATER I GOT SOME FLUID IN IT AND THEN CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHY MY 2000 ACCORD THAT I PAID $25,000.00 HAD A BAD TRANSMISSION AFTER ONLY 72,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT ,WELL THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 ACCORD AUTO TRANSMISSIONS. I AM BEING TOLD TO BRING IT INTO THE SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT FOR A FEE OF $72.00 AN HOUR AND THEY WOULD TRY TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT SUPPOSEDLY THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS OR 100,000 MILES. I CAN ONLY HOPE TO GOD THAT THIS IS TRUE. OR I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST $3,500.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHY WAS I NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, OR THE TIME OF ALL THE DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES I HAD DONE? I HAD RAN MY HONDA CIVIC UP TO 240,000 MILES WITH NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS 2000 ACCORD AND I WAS GOING TO BUY A NEW 2003 ACCORD NEXT MONTH. ALTHOUGH NOW I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR THAT I HAD THOUGHT WAS THE VERY BEST ON THE MARKET! IS THIS GOI

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, SLID ON A PIECE OF ICE, AND HIT A SMALL TREE. CONSUMER PUT VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AND TRIED TO GET OUT OF DRIVEWAY HOWEVER VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT HAD NO EFFECT.*AK *JB

WHEEL BEARINGS ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE REPLACED TWICE AND ONLY 64K MILES ON THE CAR. ACCELERTOR PEDAL HAS BEEN LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW - BUT CONTINUES TO STICK ESPECIALLY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR AFTER SITTING FOR A LONG TIME IN COLD WEATHER.*JB

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT AND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE AGAINST THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD NOT DEPRESS LOW ENOUGH TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR ARM REST IS MADE OF VERY FLIMSY MATERIAL. THE ARM REST HAS CRACKED AND IS BROKEN. PH

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, A 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX V6, THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE AFTER MOVING THE SEAT FORWARD SO THAT REAR PASSENGERS CAN ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE, THEREFORE POSING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANTS. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALERSHIP, ED VOYLES HONDA (MIKI MULLINAX IS MY SERVICE ADVISOR) ABOUT THIS SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "JUST NORMAL". I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A CONDITION THAT IS POTENTIALLY SO DANGEROUS CAN BE "JUST NORMAL". ALSO, MY SRS INDICATOR HAS COME ON FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AND I EXPLAINED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AFTER LOOKING AT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS WEBSITE, AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE ME PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEE IF THIS WAS TRUE OR NOT. I ACTUALLY ALSO HAD AN INSTANCE OF THE FAILED MIL WHICH WAS RESOLVED BY MY DEALER YESTERDAY (HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN #00-017). PLEASE ADVISE ON THESE ISSUES. THANKS. JODY KELL PS: THE INCIDENT DATE THAT I AM USING IS THE DAY THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS WHEN THE SEAT ISSUE FIRST BEGAN.

VEHICLE SUFFERED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

ALL FOUR DOORS MAKES A BIG NOISE WHEN THEY CLOSE THE DOORS. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

VEHICLE WAS IN A REAR END COLLISION. THE DRIVER/PASSENGER BACK SEAT RECLINED BACKWARD UPON IMPACT. THE REAR SEAT WAS NOT OCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT SO NO ONE WAS HURT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. PH

I OWNED A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS 34,672 MILES. THE CAR MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. I FOUND A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN (00-038) THAT WAS SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM, BUT IT ONLY COVER V6 MODELS.

LEFT DRIVER SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED AFTER BEING HIT FROM REAR. SUSTAINED INJURIES TO BACK, NECK AND KNEE. WOULD LIKE FOR THIS AGENCY TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION AS TO A FAULTY OTR SEAT MANUAL ADJUSTER. PART IS BELIEVED TO BE 81660-884-A01

I HAVE DIFFICULT STARTING THE HONDA, IT HAPPENED MORE THAN TEN TIMES. IT ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS WARM - NEVER A COLD MORNING. YOU CAN FORCE IT TO START BY PUTTING MORE GAS THRU THE ACCELERATOR. BUT WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WILL DIE ON THE ROLLING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE HONDA DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH IT. I SEARCH ON THE DATABASE AND IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO A VAPOR LOCK ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ACCORD 2000 V6. (ODI-719977). PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE SOME HAZARD WARNING TO THE PUBLIC.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

HONDA, 2000 ACCORD, IDLING PROBLEM - FAIL TO START WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM (AFTER A LONG DRIVE-RESTART). ADD GAS TO ACCELERATOR TO GET IT START, BUT WILL EXPERIENCE ROUGH IDLING AND ENGINE DIE AGAIN.

MY SON'S 2000 HONDA ACCORD IS FITTED WITH FOUR BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK TIRES FOR WINTER DRIVING. I SUGGESTED THAT THEY BE INFLATED TO 32 PSI AS INDICATED ON THE DOOR FRAME PLATE. THE INSTALLER INSISTS, HOWEVER, THAT THEY SHOULD BE RUN 5 PSI LOWER (I.E. 27 PSI) THAN NOMINAL. I THINK THAT RUNNING AT THE LOWER PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN VERMONT WHERE FRIGID TEMPERATURES DROP TIRE PRESSURES EVEN LOWER. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER'S CONSUMER WEBSITE HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. PLEASE ADVISE WHERE I CAN GET EXPERT ADVICE ON THIS MATTER.

VEHICLE ACCELERATOR - PEDAL STUCK

BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, MY CAR ACCELERATED, SKID ON ICE AND HIT A TREE. I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT AGAIN THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. I COULD NOT CONTROL ITS SPEED, AND BRAKING WAS INEFFECTIVE. IT COULD NOT BE STOPPED. I WENT THROUGH THE BACK WALL OF OUR GARAGE, CAUSING GREAT DAMAGE.

CONSUMER STATES WHEN VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED IN THE MORNING THE ACCELERTOR PEDAL IS RESTRICTED FROM MOVING WITHOUT EXTREME PRESSURE AND THEN VEHICLE JUMPS. DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*JB *DT

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 4 CYLINDER, 2000 HONDA ACCORD, LX WITH 35000 MILES ON IT. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING TO SLIGHT FOOT PRESSURE WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST USED IN THE MORNING. IT SEEMED TO BE STICKING AND THEN SUDDENLY RESPOND TO FOOT PRESSURE. BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 ACCORD AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO REMEDY OR RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO SERVICE BUSINESS WHOM I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR OVER 15 YEARS. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A BUILD-UP OF CARBON ON THE ACCELLERATOR LINKAGE- ESPECIALLY IN THE 2000 HONDA. I HAD HIM CLEAN THE DEPOSIT ($60 PLUS $4.50 FOR CARBON SOLVENT) WHICH IMMEDIATELY REMEDIED THE STICKING. HE TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 10K MILES OR WHEVER IT BECOMES STICKY AGAIN. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD COME UP WITH A CORRECTION AND RECALL OF ALL 2000 ACCORDS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH HONDA? HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS? ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

CAR WOULD NOT START AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES. FIRST TIME, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR NEVER STARTED FOR ME, IT STARTED AT THE DEALER'S PLACE. SECOND TIME, DEALER ADJUSTED BASE IDLE AND CAR REPEATED SAME PROBLEM AFTER COUPLE OF DAYS.THIRD TIME, DEALER AGAIN ADJUSTED BASE IDLE AND CAR REPEATED SAME PROBLEM AFTER COUPLE OF DAYS.FORUTH TIME, DEALER CHANGED CONTROL MODULE AND CAR REPEATED SAME PROBLEM AFTER COUPLE OF DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING THE LOWER FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FELL TO THE GROUND AND THE WHEELS GRAVED IN. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INDICATED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD BROKEN OFF. CONSUMER HAD PART REPLACED,AND SEVERAL MONTHS LATER ANOTHER BALL JOINT BROKE OFF. CONSUMER SEEMS TO THINK THIS VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT IN THE BALL JOINTS. PH

WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE THERE'S A LOUD BANG. DT

CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE MORENO VALLEY HONDA AND SPREEN HONDA REGARDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. MY HUSBAND OWNS A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND HAD TO TELL SPREEN HONDA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I FINALLY CALLED HONDA'S MAIN OFFICE AND IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A WEEK TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. HOME OFFICE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND REQUESTED THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. SPREEN HONDA HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND DID NOT OFFER RENTAL CAR OR REIMBURSEMENT. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL AROUND. MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR. THE BRAKES ARE CONSTANTLY SQUEEKING EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT. THE MATERIAL ON THE REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS MELTED. PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE EXTREMELY TIGHT. THIS 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE HAS BEEN A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. DT

THE DASHBOARD LIGHT LABELED "SRS" ILLUMINATED AROUND 34,500 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE PROVIDED OWNERS MANUAL THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONAL AS INDICATED BY THE SRS LIGHT. I HAD THE SYSTEM EXAMINED BY THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED PASSENGER POSITION SENSOR, LOCATED WITHIN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER FIXED EVERYTHING BUT THE SENSOR, CLAIMING THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. SEEING THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS OVERALL SAFETY OF THE CAR, WHICH COMPOSED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF MY REASONING TO BUY THE VEHICLE I ADVISED THEM TO REPLACE THE PART, AT APPROXIMATELY $500 ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THIS POSITION SENSING COMPONENT AND SEVERELY COMPROMISES THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE FOR ALL OCCUPANTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPANY AND DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING UNTIL I PERSONALLY FOLLOWED UP, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. CURRENTLY, MY SRS SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE FROM NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I DON'T THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD MARKET, INSTALL AND SELL SUCH A SYSTEM IF THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO GET IT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY FOR AT LEAST 35000 MILES IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND IT, ASIDE FROM THE FACT THE POSSIBILITY OF A SEVERE INJURY HAS NOW INCREASE BY AND EXPONENTIAL AMOUNT, WHAT CONSUMERS PAY TO PREVENT AND INSURANCE COMPANIES OFFER DISCOUNTS TO PROMOTE

CONSUMER NOTICE WHILE TRAVELING SRS INDICATION LIGHT WAS FLASHING VEHICLE WAS SERVICE BY DEALER TECHNICIAN NOTICE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY DUE TO SRS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT OWNERS COST. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS FAILED AT LOW MILEAGE. OWNER HAS TO REPLACE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. GREAT SAFETY CONCERNS HERE AS IT CAN FAIL AT HIGH SPEED. DT

ONE MONTH AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED I HAD TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS. FIRST MY ALTERNATOR WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED AS SOON AS I STARTED GETTING SOME SOUND. THE VERY NEXT DAY I GOT A CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ON. WHICH RESULTED IN SOME EMISSION PARTS BEING ORDERED TO BE REPLACED TODAY WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE DELAERSHIP MY SRS INDICATOR STARTED TO DISPLAY . I HOPE THE AIRBAGS WONT MALFUNCTION...

WHILE DRIVING AND BEING HIT ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A YEAR. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER WAS TOO SENSITIVE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW COMPUTER - WAIT WAS APPROX 3-4 MONTHS. THIS HAPPENED AT 3600 MILES AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS OXYGEN SENSOR AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM IS UNRELIABLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITHIN 53K MILES.*AK

WHILE DRIVING/BRAKING, AND WHEN RELEASING BRAKES CAR ROLLS BACK . VEHICLE HAS AUTOMACTIC TRANSMISSION.*AK

HEARD A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE QUALITY OF HONDA. I AM GOING GET THE NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN TOMORROW. I WILL POST ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE LATER (I HOPE IT IS GOOD). HOWEVER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS GOING TO RUN OUT IN LESS THAN 3000 MILES, I NEED AN EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FROM HONDA. IF HONDA DOES NOT COME AROUND, I WILL TRADE THIS CARR AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN MY LIFE AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE I DO NOT CONSIDER AS MY ENEMY.*AK

IT HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION, DRIVING AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE MOST DANGEROUS TIMES WHEN IT HAPPENED IS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC.*AK

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. WE BOUGHT A NEW 2000 MODEL YEAR HONDA ACCORD IN NOV. 1999. AT 22K MILES (MAY-JULY 2001), THE GAS PEDAL GIT STUCK WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT USED FOR A WHILE, LIKE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. WE HAD TO STEP ON IT HARD AND RELEASED QUICKLY. THEN IT WAS GOOD FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. WE REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER (LEITH HONDA). THEY FIXED IT AND I HAVE THE REPORT. A FEW MONTHS AGO THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURED. WE HAVE ABOUT 44K MILES NOW. LEITH HONDA CHARGED ME $85 TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT CHARGE US THE FIRST TIME. THEIR REASON IS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY GASOLINE. THEY FURTHER CLAIMED THAT ALL OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IT AND CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY ON A REGULAR BASIS. OTHERWISE THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE SO MANY CAR IN THE LAST 25 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF NEWS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY CAUSED BY THE STICKY GAS PEDAL. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM? I HAVE NAMES OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED THE "CLEANING". I ALSO HAVE REPORT ON HAND WHICH SHOW THE "REPAIR" WORK. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFO AND FACT. THANKS FOR YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. BEST RAGARDS, KIEN. *AK
