2000 Honda Accord complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ALMOST CAUSED A SIDE COLLISION AT INTERSECTION AFTER D4 LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC STOP SIGNAL AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED WITH VERY LITTLE RESPONSE. AFTER FORCEFULLY ENGAGING THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR REPEATEDLY, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM AND RESUMED WITH CAUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE FAULTY AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,395.

RECENTLY TOOK A 2000 ACCORD SE TO HONDA DEALER FOR TRADE IN. THE DEALERSHIP PUT THE CAR ON THE HOIST FOR INSPECTION BEFORE DETERMINING A TRADE IN PRICE. ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES THAT THE MECHANIC LOOKED WAS AT THE FRAME AND FRONT SUSPENSION ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IT WAS FOUND THAT OVER HALF THE WIDTH OF THE FRONT CROSS BEAM WAS WASTED AWAY, AND WAS IN DANGER OF BREAKING OFF AT ANY TIME. BOTH THE MECHANIC AND SALESMAN AGREED, THIS WAS A PROBLEM THEY HAD SEEN MANY TIMES ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT YEARS OF THIS MODEL. THE ROTTING OF THE BEAM WAS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY CONDENSATE DRIPPING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN, WHICH WAS LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE BEAM. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SUCH A PROBLEM, THE DRAINS HAD BEEN MOVED TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION ON THE NEXT GENERATION. THE ESTIMATE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED WAS $1300.00. OTHER THAN THAT, THE CAR WAS DEEMED TO BE IN EXCELLENT RE-SALE CONDITION. *TR

2000 HONDA ACCORD BRAKE LINE CORRODED LEADING TO TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP BY IF I WAS GOING ANY FASTER IT WOULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH AND POSSIBLY INJURY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE PCM AND THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE IN A PARKING GARAGE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE GARAGE. THE CAR ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE, SLAMMING INTO TWO PARKED VEHICLES. THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED FORWARD, SLAMMING INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN AND COMING TO A REST. I ATTEMPTED TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. IT FELT LIKE MY ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK RATHER THAN A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

I WAS TRAVELING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS AT A SPEED OF UNDER 5 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. MY PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR IDLED AT A HIGH RPM FOR 2-3 SECONDS AFTER IT STOPPED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION ON 4 OR 5 PRIOR OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE BACKING. THE LAST TIME I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS IN SEPT. 2006; A DEALER MECHANICAL INSPECTION AT THAT TIME CHECKED THE TCM/PCM FOR DTC AND FOUND NO STORED CODES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE FROM THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 05V025000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 164,200.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH INTERLOCK FAILED; THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY. THE VEHICLE THEN ROLLED DOWN A HILL INTO SOME BUSHES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 120,000.

THE SRS LIGHT HAS TURNED ON SO THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAGS. IF ANYONE WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT DEATHS WILL OCCUR AS THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. WITH A BIT OF RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORDS DATING FROM 1998-2011. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2000/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/SRS_LIGHT_IS_ON.SHTML THIS WEBSITE PROVIDES MANY OWNERS' ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE CAUSED. IT IS A LETHAL DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD BE SOLVING THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY RIDICULOUS PRICES FOR IT TO GET FIXED JUST TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT COME ON MOMENTS AFTER THE SO CALLED REPAIRS. THE CUSTOMERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, IT IS HONDA. PLEASE CONTACT HONDA AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. FOR EVERY MOMENT DELAYED, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT TO OCCUR DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AT ANY SELECTED GEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V025000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. HONDA LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD COVER THIS, BUT THEY DON'T. SEAT BELT SWITCHES WERE CHECKED AND OK SO SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR COST ESTIMATE: UP TP $900. WHY ISN'T NHTSA ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE? LOOK AT THE LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS IN THE DATABASE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD BEGUN TO PIT CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GLARE FROM THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE NIGHT DUE TO THE GLARE OF HEADLIGHTS OR DURING THE DAY WITH THE GLARE OF THE SUN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I'D DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY OR UP A HILL TO GET TO A PARKING STRUCTURE AT SCHOOL AND THE CAR WOULD STALL AND SLIP GEARS WHERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS OR PEOPLE BEHIND ME WOULD GET ANNOYED AND PASS AT RELATIVELY CLOSE AND HIGH SPEEDS. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON ME ROUGHLY 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. I BARELY COULD MAKE IT OVER 10 MPH AND HAD MY CAR SIT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR 6 MONTHS. MY BROTHER HAS PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND SUGGESTED I PUT NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID IN, BUT THE FLUID IS FULL AND THE CAR STILL SLIPS. I KNEW IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH IS MORE COMPLICATED SINCE I KNOW THAT'S A LOT MORE PRICEY THAN WHAT I CAN AFFORD RIGHT NOW, AND ALL I WANT IS FOR MY CAR TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AGAIN SINCE THIS CAR SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER SINCE IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT HAS GONE OFF APPROXIMATELY ONCE A YEAR FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 5 YEARS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAUSED BY A SENSOR IN THE SEAT BELT, WHICH IS COVERED BY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE DEALER ALWAYS TRIES TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSIS FEE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE EVERY TIME THE LIGHT GOES OFF. IT IS ALSO A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS THE SEATBELT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE FREQUENTLY NOT WORKING. *LN

I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION GO OUT TWICE IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. EACH TIME, THE GEARS START CLUNKING WHILE SHIFTING AND SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AND IS COMPLETELY USELESS. CURRENTLY, MY CAR WILL REV UP LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL AND THEN SPONTANEOUSLY SLAM INTO GEAR AND SLIP BACK INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN WHICH HAS, AGAIN, RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE THE ISSUE BETTER. *TR

THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND THIS IS BECOMING A HAZARD WHEN PUT IN TO TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAVE HONDA V6 2000 ACCORD AND I AM GETTING P0740 AND P0730 ERROR CODES. I DID CHANGE MY TRANSMISSION OIL RECENTLY WITH HONDA ATF. FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD IT NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. CAR ACTS VERY UNSAFE AND IT JERKS A LOT. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED DOES NOT ACT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V256000 (INTERIOR LIGHTING) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX 4CYL COUPE WHICH WAS GIVEN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 97K MILES BECAUSE OF A RECALL. IT HAS 140K MILES NOW AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE IT AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH THIS ONE ONLY HAS $40K MILES ON IT. THEY WANT ME TO PAY $2200. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS MODEL ACCORD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 85 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND APPLIED THE BRAKES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF TWICE AND RESTARTED IT; THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AFTER THE RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DEFECTIVE; IT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 163,252. UPDATED 01/26/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUDDEN ACCELERTION LASTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMAINED STUCK AT FULL THROTTLE. UPDATED 03/09/11

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE 4TH TIME. FIRST TIME @ 60,000 MILES, THAN 80,000 MILES, THAN 140,000 MILES. HONDA SUCKS... ALL THEY TELL ME NOW IS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THE 2000 ACCORDS HAVE MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS FROM NEW. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA V6 COUPE FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, IT WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING IF SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. IT WOULD START AND THEN STALL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STARTED IS TO GIVE IT GAS AND SHIFT INTO GEAR QUICKLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. ALSO THERE WAS A TSB 00-024 FOR THIS AND I GOT IT DONE FOR CLOSE TO $710. THIS REALLY ISN'T FAIR AS I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY A CASE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE 6 CYLINDERS THE OTHER DAY ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE FOR NO APPARENT REASON JUST QUIT AND LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR IT FINALLY DID START A GAIN AND RAN FINE. *TR

TREAD ON LEFT FRONT TIRE SEPARATED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 60 MPH. TREAD DID NOT COME COMPLETELY OFF AND IT DAMAGED TIRE WELL AND BUMPER. *TR

2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS... WHEN CAR GOES FROM 1ST TO 2ND IT SLIPS REALLY BAD. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN I'M BEHIND SOMEONE AND HIT THE GAS IT REVS UP AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEN IT CATCHES AND THE TIRES SPIN. I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE TODAY WITH A CHILD IN THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW! *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS SHORT OUT DUE TO A SYSTEMIC DEFECT IN THE FUSE SYSTEM, WHEREIN THE FUSE WORKS ITSELF LOOSE AND THE BULBS SHORT OUT. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD MODELS DATING BACK TO AT LEAST MY YEAR, ACCORDING TO HONDA REPRESENTATIVES. THEY TELL ME THAT EVEN THOUGH, ACCORDS WERE SUBJECTED TO RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, MY VIN WAS "OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS" OF THE RECALL. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND CREATES A DANGEROUS NIGHT DRIVING CONDITION. OUR VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE SHORTING OUT PROBLEM HAS BEEN EVIDENT FOR OVER TWO YEARS. IN THE PAST, IF I TAPPED ON THE DASHBOARD, THE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON. NO LONGER. THIS SYSTEMIC DEFECT, OF WHICH HONDA IS WELL AWARE, IS DANGEROUS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND EVEN I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE I CANNOT DETECT THE SPEED, GASOLINE METER, WHETHER THE CAR IS OVER-HEATING, ETC, ALL REQUIRED SAFETY FEATURES UNDER PROBABLY BOTH FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA STATE LAW. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED TWICE, PAID FOR THE REPAIRS, WITHOUT SUCCESS. I AM ASKING FOR YOU AGENCY TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT AND ORDER HONDA TO RECALL ALL ACCORDS THAT MAY BE IMPACTED, WHICH COULD VERY WELL BE THE ENTIRE LINE SINCE 2000. I FIND HONDA'S ADAMANT FAILURE TO FAIRLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE TO BE SHOCKING. WHY SHOULD A CONSUMER BE FORCE TO PAY OVER $500.00 FOR A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HE STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SRS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V080000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

2000 HONDA ACCORD EX. CONSUMER STATES DEFECTIVE SRS LIGHT AND AIRBAG DISABLED NOT FUNCTIONING *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER PROPERLY REPAIRED. THE OPDS SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $500.00 THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED HIS VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OXYGEN SENSOR.

2000 HONDA ACCORD WHINING NOISE -DEALER INSPECTED -SAID OKAY TO DRIVE.WITHIN TWENTY MILES - CAR STOPPED MOVING FORWARD - MANUALLY SHIFTED GEARS - WORKED TEMPORARILY UNTIL GOT CAR STOPPED IN PARKING LOT - THEN NOTHING - TOWED BACK TO DEALER AND RECEIVED DIAGNOSIS NEXT DAY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SURPRISED BECAUSE DEALER HAD CHANGED TRANSMISSION AT 33,000 UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NO RECALL PER MANUFACTURER, BUT OFFER WARRANTY DUE TO THEIR CONCERN. ONLINE REPORTS ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM SHOW HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS TRANSMISSION ONLY HAD 19,000 MILES AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS CAR IS OWNED BY AN 84 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO HAS OWNED IT FROM THE BEGINNING. THINK THIS WARRANTS A CLOSER LOOK SINCE ITS PRETTY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOW WE HAVE TO DECIDE IF THIS CAR IS WORTH FIXING IF THIS IS A REPETITIVE DEFECT. *TR

SRS WARNING LIGHT. UNABLE TO ANALYZE. DRL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENLY. *TR

CAR IS SHIFTING LATE OR ERRATICALLY. I BELIEVE IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED OR REPAIRED. *TR

IN MARCH OF 2008, MY 2000 ACCORD SE HONDA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 122,206 MILES; I HAD TO PAY FOR A REBUILT REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, TODAY I WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL NEED YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION BY HONDA, THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED, AND THAT THE THREE-YEAR OR 36,000-MILE WARRANTY WILL ONLY EXTEND AS FAR AS THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY (THAT IS ROUGHLY ANOTHER 15,000 MILES OR UNTIL MARCH 2012). THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION ONLY FUNCTIONED FOR LESS THAN 21000 MILES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL'S POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN AS I HAVE TO COMMUTE 44 MILES A DAY TO WORK. CLEARLY, IF THE SECOND IDENTICAL FAILURE HAPPENED IN SO SHORT A TIME, THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW---ONE WITH POTENTIALLY LETHAL CONSEQUENCES THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY COULD BE PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS BUT WAS STOPPED BY A CEMENT BRICK IN A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH THE KEY BEING TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE NOT IN PARK THREE TIMES PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED HIM TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT IS ON, NO ANY ACCIDENT WAS INVOLVED. THE LIGHT KEEPS ON EVEN AFTER RESET SEVERAL TIMES. I WONDER IF THE MANUFACTURER COVERS THE COST OF REPLACEMENT FOR VEHICLE SAFETY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS PARKED WHEN SHE DISCOVERED SHE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING IN PARK. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V025000, COMPONENT: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH) BUT WAS ADVISED BY BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 249,000.

1. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: 133K MILES ON 2000 HONDA ACCORD, 4 DOOR, LX 4CYL, 5 SPD MANUAL TRANS. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED IN NOV OF 1999. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN DAILY 15-30 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. 2. THE FAILURE, HOW OFTEN IT OCCURS, IT'S CONSEQUENCES: ON 8/3/10, STARTED TO DRIVE TO WORK. AFTER 2 MILES, I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ACCELERATED. WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, THE ENGINE OVER-REVVED - UP TO THE REV LIMITER, EVEN THOUGH I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO SHIFT. I COASTED WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED WHILE THE ENGINE "BOUNCED" OFF THE REV LIMITER FOR A SECOND. THEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I COULD NOT "UN-STICK" THE THROTTLE -WHICH WAS STUCK IN WOT (WIDE OPEN THROTTLE) POSITION. 3. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE; I.E, PARTS REPAIRED OR REPLACED (AND IF OLD PART IS AVAILABLE)? I TRIED TO LIFT THE THROTTLE OFF THE FLOOR, IT WAS STUCK. I REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I THEN OPENED THE HOOD. I COULD SEE THE THROTTLE CABLES WERE SLACK AND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STUCK. THE PART OF THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH HOLDS THE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATOR CABLE HAD BROKEN. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CABLE (NO LONGER HELD IN PLACE) FLOPPED FORWARD AND JAMMED THE THROTTLE OPEN. UNTANGLING THE JAMMED THROTTLE BODY, AND SECURING THE CRUISE CONTROL THROTTLE CABLE TO A LOCATION WHERE IT COULD NOT COME LOOSE

IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION WITHOUT TRANSMISSION SELECTOR BEING PUT INTO PARK. ACCORDING TO HONDA THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE RANGE OF RECALLS AND WILL NOT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND WAS IN DRIVE MODE HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION WITHOUT SHIFTING INTO PARK.

THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED OR REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I CAN REMOVE MY IGNITION KEY FROM MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 EX . 4 DR. 4CYL WITHOUT PUTTING ON PARK. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS BETWEEN 1ST. AND 2ND. GEARS. OCCURS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND STAY ON. NOT REPAIRED AS OF YET DUE TO EXCESS COST INVOLVED. *TR

THE ISSUE IS I CAN REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY WITHOUT THE SHIFT LEVER BEING IN "PARK" ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD, VIN [XXX]. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL, BUT THE DEALER STATES IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY WHEN IT IS NOT IN PARK. I KNOW A RECENT RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 2003 AND/OR LATER HONDAS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE 2000 HONDAS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT LOCK AND THE KEY CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING IN THE PARK POSITION. THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FROM A STANDING POSITION AND POTENTIALLY CRASH INTO A VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIANS. RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V025000 FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DEALING WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT WAS IDENTICAL TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE GEAR SELECTOR SHIFTED INTO THE "DRIVE" POSITION; AND UNEXPECTEDLY THE IGNITION KEY RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE IGNITION SWITCH INTERLOCK WAS REPLACED. THE IDENTICAL FAILURE RECURRED SIX TO EIGHT YEARS LATER AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE CONTACT REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTED INTO THE PARK GEAR. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR LOCAL MECHANIC. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE "DRIVE" POSITION, THE KEY RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD HAS THE SAME FAILURE OF THE IGNITION INTERLOCK MECHANISM AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECENT RECALL OF THE 2003 MODEL YEAR ACCORDS. *TR

THE THIRD TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED ON MY HONDA ACCORD. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST 2 WITH ONLY A $200 CHARGE ON THE SECOND ONE. THE FAILURE MODE IS SUCH THAT THE CAR SLIPS INTO A NEUTRAL LIKE STATE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THINK ABOUT TURNING LEFT, CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND YOU STEP ON THE GAS, THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE AND GOES INTO NEUTRAL. YOU ARE STUCK IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. *TR
