2000 Honda Accord complaints

IN 2005 WITH 140K MILES THE TRANNY WENT OUT ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX. I REPLACED IT WITH A REBUILT TRANNY AT A COST OF $2000.00. NOW THE REBUILT HAS DIED AFTER ONLY 75K ADDITIONAL MILES. THE COST TO REPLACE IS $2500.00. *TR

THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR CONCORD HONDA IN 2007 RECOMMENDED THAT I FIX A BROKEN WELD ON THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME BY HAVING IT RE-WELDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO TAKE IT TO HONDA OF AMERICA TO HAVE THE SEAT REPLACED EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD BECAUSE THE WELD SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITHIN A SIX YEAR TIME PERIOD. THE WELD ON THE SEAT HAS BROKEN AGAIN AND THE CURRENT SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE REPAIR BOTH BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED FOR A REPAIR, BUT ALSO HE WOULD NOT REPAIR THE SEAT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL SERVICE MANAGER SHOULD NOT HAVE RE-WELDED THE FRAME AS IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DO SO. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA TO TALK TO THEM THIS TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM IN THE 2006/2007 TIME FRAME, BUT THAT THE CAR WAS NOW TO OLD NOW FOR THEM TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. WHAT IS BOTHERING ME IS THAT THEY ADMIT THE SEATS WILL NOT STAY FIXED TO THE FRAME IN AN ACCIDENT. NOR DO THEY SEEM TO CARE ABOUT EARLY FAILURE OF THE WELDS AND THEM NOT HOLDING. I HAVE HAD A CAR THAT WAS 35 YEARS OLD AND THE WELDS WERE STILL IN PLACE. THANK YOU *TR

DEAR NHTSA: I AM WRITING ABOUT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WHICH HAD AN ACCIDENT ON MAY 22ND, 2010. I WAS DRIVING IN DRY CONDITIONS ALONG I-85 NORTH IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, GEORGIA WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY BLEW OUT CAUSING MY CAR TO FLIP AND ROLL OVER. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE BLOWOUT. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS BRIEFLY AND MY NECK WAS SEVERELY BROKEN. I HAD TO HAVE AN OPERATION AND WILL BE OUT OF WORK FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS. MY SON WAS INJURED BUT NOT AS SEVERELY AS ME, WITH MANY CUTS ON HIS FACE AND EAR. TWO OTHER OCCUPANTS RECEIVED MANY BRUISES AND CUTS ON ARMS, LEGS AND FACES. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THAT SEEM TO POINT TO DEFECTS IN THE CAR. THE FIRST IS THAT THE ROOF COLLAPSED SO MUCH THAT IT HIT MY HEAD AND ALMOST KILLED ME. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT NONE OF THE FOUR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WITH SO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE CAR AS IT ROLLED OVER AND CRUSHED THE ROOF, THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INVESTIGATING THIS CAR TO SEE IF FEDERAL GUIDELINES WERE VIOLATED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE ILLUMINATED. THE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS NOT WORKING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN RECALL 04V256000 WAS RELATED TO THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127000.

FAILURE OF OPDS UNIT ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD 4-DOOR V-6. AS AN OUTCOME OF A JOINT ACTION LAWSUIT HONDA AGREED TO EXTEND THE OPDS WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS FROM THE DELIVERY DATE OF THE VEHICLE OR 156,000 MILES. MY OPDS UNIT HAS FAILED JUST 3 MONTHS AFTER THE 10 YEAR EXTENSION. THIS IS THE 2ND SDS SYSTEM FAILURE AS THE SEAT BELT SENSOR HAS FAILED IN THE PAST. HONDA NOW COVERS THE SEAT BELT FAILURE ON THE MANY ACCORD MODELS FOR LIFETIME AS THE FAILURE IS COMMON. FAILURE OF SDS AIRBAG SYSTEM ON HONDA ACCORDS AND OTHER HONDA VEHICLE MODELS IS AN ON-GOING CHRONIC PROBLEM THAT RENDERS THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM INACTIVE UPON ANY COMPONENT FAILURE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS AND DUE TO THE HIGH COST TO REPAIR THE SDS SYSTEM MANY OWNERS CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THE SDS AIRBAG SYSTEM OPERATIVE AGAIN. HONDA MUST STEP UP TO INSURING THAT LIFETIME WARRANTIES ON THE SDS SYSTEMS ARE IN PLACE FOR ALL OWNERS AS AN SDS FAILURE MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH FOR THE VEHICLE OWNERS. WAY TOO MANY SDS SYSTEM FAILURES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY HONDA DEALERS AND OWNERS. WHO KNOWS JUST HOW MANY "RED LIGHTS" ARE ACTUALLY ON THE DASHBOARDS OF HONDA ACCORDS OUT THERE THAT SIMPLY DON'T GET FIXED DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR? *TR

I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD LX 2000 IN 2004 WITH 46 K ON IT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE WHY IT WAS ON. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE MY AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. NOT ABLE TO BEAR THE EXPENSE OF REPAIR, I HAVE DRIVEN IT AS IS & THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS ALMOST 87,000. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON JUNE 2, 2010 WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN, SHE NOTICED SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE STEERING MODULE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I ALSO HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH APPROX. 134,000 MILES AND THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON. THE AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER REPORTED THAT THIS WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL PER MY VIN. EVEN A QUICK SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SRS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA SAYS THEY WILL NOT CHECK IT FOR LESS THAN 100 DOLLARS. MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR RESULTS! IF THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AFFECTING MULTIPLE CARS THEN AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD TAKE PLACE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. 134,000 MILES. *TR

SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON OUR 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH 67K MILES ON IT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR THIS ISSUE TO 10 YEARS OR 150K MILES, OURS IS NOW TEN YEARS OLD. WE FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THAT HONDA SHOULD COVER THIS FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE BUY VEHICLES WITH ALL THE AIRBAGS...SAFETY! HONDA SHOULD COVER THIS PROBLEM NO QUESTIONS ASKED!! FOR LIFE.*DT

IN JUNE 09, HAVE AN ISSUE WITH SRS LIGHT COMING ON IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THIS IS AN SEAT BELT ISSUE AND FIXED IT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP IN JAN-2010 FOR SRS SYMBOL, DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS AN OPDS SENSOR ISSUE AND SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY THIS WILL NOT BE COVERED. MY QUESTION- SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS, WHY IS HONDA NOT RECALLING. MY CAR HAS 115,000 MILES AND THIS IS PURCHASED IN NOV 1999. CAN WE HAVE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS INSTEAD OF WARRANTY EXTENSION? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRAIGHTENED WHEELS AND STARTED FORWARD TO BEGIN LEFT TURN ON NARROW ROAD, A MANEUVER I HAVE PERFORMED DOZENS OF TIMES. CAR ACCELERATED DESPITE IMMEDIATE BRAKING AND RAN OFF EMBANKMENT INTO WOODS. UNABLE TO STOP I DELIBERATELY HIT A TREE TO AVOID DRIVING INTO POND. TRIPLE A PULLED THE CAR OUT OF THE WOODS AND CRAFTSMAN AUTO BODY OF CHANTILLY (VA) DID THE REPAIRS. I ASSUMED IT HAD BEEN A GLITCH IN THE ACCELERATOR BUT COULD NOT PROVE IT. I NOW PRACTICE THROWING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL FROM TIME TO TIME IN CASE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. RECENT NEWSPAPER REPORTS OF SIMILAR CASES INDUCED ME TO MAKE THIS REPORT. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). SUBJECT: HONDA ACCORD - MILEAGE/SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY DEAR SIR, I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD 200 AND ITS SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. COMPARE WITH DIFF GPS, HIGHWAY MILESTONES ETC. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CORRECT. I HAVE ASKED AND COMPARE WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS AND THEY HAVE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK/COMPLAIN TO CAR DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM AS WELL, BUT THEY CANNOT FIX IT, ITS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WHILE COMPARE WITH GPS SPEED AND SPEEDOMETER ON CAR, CAR'S SPEEDOMETER IS RUNNING FASTER BY 5 MPH MORE. I UNDERSTAND FROM AN INTERNAL SOURCE, THAT IT'S A HONDAS DIRTY PRACTICE TO CONVINCE CUSTOMER THAT HONDA PROVIDES BETTER MILEAGE EFFICIENCY WHILE COMPARING OTHER CARS. CAN YOU LOOK IN TO IT, PLEASE?[XXX] *TR

AT AROUND 120,000 MILES, WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, THE CAR WON'T MOVE. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO TRY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE REVS, BUT THE CAR STILL WON'T MOVE. I PUT THE CAR BACK TO PARK AND THEN PUT IN INTO REVERSE AND IT WILL BE FINE.

WE DON'T HAVE THE $2000 TO $4000 TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. I THOUGHT HONDAS WERE A LONG LASTING CAR?
