2000 Honda Accord Other / unspecified Problems

SRS INDICATOR ON DASHBOARD. CAR NEEDS THIS REPAIRED BEFORE VALID MA INSPECTION STICKER CAN BE APPLIED. HONDA DEALER REPAIRED FIRST "SRS INCIDENT" DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BUCKLE. HONDA DEALER DECLARED PROBLEM FIXED. DROVE CAR HOME. 2 DAYS LATER, SRS INDICATOR RE-APPEARS ON DASHBOARD. TOOK CAR BACK TO HONDA DEALER. HONDA DEALER NOW SAYS THAT CAR REQUIRED NEW OPDS SENSOR. APPROXIMATE REPAIR COST: JUST UNDER $500. NO MENTION OF PREVIOUS RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE FOR ALL HONDA ACCORDS 2000-2001. RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS AND 157,000 MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE UNDER 154,000 MILES. CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES. BOTH HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE UNWILLING TO HELP. CAN NHTSA HELP WITH GETTING HONDA TO ABIDE BY OLD RECALL? I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. I BELIEVE THE SRS REPAIR FROM LAST WEEK RESULTED IN THE CURRENT SRS OPDS FAILURE. I CAN SEE MANY ANGRY HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ON INTERNET WEB SITES. ADD ME TO THE LIST. *TR

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

HONDA HAD SUPPOSEDLY UNDER A HIDDEN WARRANTY SWAPPED OUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED THE FIRST TIME,IDENTICAL PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN D4 ON THE DASH STARTS BLINKING AND I COULD ONLY DRIVE TO 3RD GEAR. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART ITS OK UNTIL I DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES. RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL REV BUT THE CAR WON'T GO FORWARD UNTIL IT JERKS VIOLENTLY AND CATCHES GEAR. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL NOT UPHOLD THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER. TECHNICALLY AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR IN THE SAME AMOUNT MILEAGE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT THEY TOLD ME FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR I AM OVER THE MILEAGE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF 2000 HONDA ACCORD 1 PIECE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FROM 4CAROPTION.COM. FEW DAYS AFTER I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS I GOT PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER AND WAS ASKED TO PUT BACK MY ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE I AM REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE AN AMBER REFLECTOR ON MY HEADLIGHTS. 4CAROPTION.COM NEVER ADVISED ME ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS' DESIGN IS AGAINST THE LAW. I CALLED 4CAROPTION TO ASK FOR A FULL REFUND, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME HALF OF THE PAYMENT BACK SINCE I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS ALREADY. NM

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. IT WAS SINGLE HANDEDLY DRIVEN SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2000. I HAVE BEEN MAINTAINING IT PER THE SPECIFICATIONS STIPULATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, AND GETTING IT SERVICED FROM HONDA SERVICE CENTERS ONLY. I HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF UN-PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE FROM HONDA'S DEALERSHIPS AND AMERICAN HONDA. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS TIME TO GET MY MAJOR SERVICE DONE I TOOK IT TO LARRY HOPKINS HONDA AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO CHECK THE ENGINE LIGHT. THEY DIDN'T CHECK ANYTHING AND SAID THAT EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. SINCE THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK ANOTHER TIME TO GET IT CHECKED BY PAYING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF A $150 WHICH I COULD HAVE SAVED HAD THEY CHECKED IT THE FIRST TIME. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A STUCK THERMOSTAT, CODE P1486, AND REPLACED IT, CHARGING ME $241 MOSTLY LABOR CHARGE. AFTER A WEEK THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND WHEN I CALLED LARRY HOPKINS I WAS INFORMED THAT ECU NEEDED REPLACEMENT, COSTING $960, AND THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN $1250. RECENTLY, I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY ADVISED ME TO GET ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS DONE AT ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS BEFORE THEY COULD HELP ME. I GOT THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, AND AFTER PAYING $129 THE SAME CODE P1486 WAS FOUND AND WAS INFORMED THAT ECU WAS INDEED A WEAR AND TEAR PART. HOWEVER. I DISAGREED, AND HAVE CHECKED WITH VARIOUS TECHNICIANS WHO DISAGREED THAT ECU WAS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN ECUS GOING BAD AFTER A FEW YEARS OF USAGE. *AK
