2000 Honda Accord Problems

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. The contact stated that immediately after purchasing the vehicle, it was discovered that the SRS warning light was illuminated and remained illuminated while operating the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted regarding the failure. No further information was available. The failure mileage was 129,000.

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.

My 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 has a few issues: 1. Front/rear struts, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links. This has caused my car to fail safety tests for the last 5 years. I have received an itemized estimate for these issues from a mechanic. 2. Electrical. The front instrument panel is not working properly. I can not touch any buttons on the dash or the lights on the panel will go off completely. Both of these are a huge safety issue and it is not safe to drive! No lights or warning of any kind regarding these issues!

On this Car the AC drain hose causes unnecessary expedited rust of the subframe as it drips on the subframe where the steering rack and pinion are. this causes that part of the subframe to rust abnormally faster than normal due to the water. The hose whould have been redirected away from the subframe to prevent safety issues.

The engine cradle is rooting out from the AC unit is draining on it and it about to brake because of the way Honda did it I hope the recall is made on it

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER FRONT SEAT FRACTURED AND COLLAPSED BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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 this issue when they bought the car new but the Honda owned dealership was happy enough to quote me a $1406 repair the last time I inquired about this issue.

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 WAS APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT LOW SPEED THROUGH A PARKING LOT , MADE A TURN TO PARK REVERSE, FOOT ON BRAKE PUT CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK UP, PUT FOOT LIGHTLY ON GAS PEDAL AND IT GAIN SPEED AND LURCHED FORWARD INSTEAD, OVER A CURB, UP AN SLIGHT INCLINE AND HIT LIBRARY WALL, AND STOPPED. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM SORE, IT WAS TOWED AND I PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC TO LOOK AT NEXT WEEK.

THE SRS LIGHT IS ON AND THE AIRBAG LIGHTS CONE ON

Passenger side subframe rusted out near steering/suspension components causing my sone to lose control of vehicle and crash. This is a well know defect of this vehicle.

THE STRUTS ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK WENT BAD ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WITH MY BOYFRIEND AT THE TIME, WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HEARD SOME THUMPING AND OTHER NOISES. HE LOOKED IN UNDER MY HONDA AND TOLD ME THAT MY STRUTS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK ARE BAD AND NEED REPLACING. IT'S GOTTEN A LOT WORSE, FLOATING OVER BUMPS, HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING IT UNDER CONTROL WHILE TURNING AROUND ANY TYPE OF CORNER AND IF I HAPPEN TO NOT SEE ANY KIND OF BUMP OR WHOLE IN THE ROAD, IT SOUNDS AS IF MY CAR IS GOING TO FALL APART. I HAVE TAKEN EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY ACCORD, BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR ALL NEW STRUTS!!

My Honda dealership has the necessary seat belt part back ordered for months on end.

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 rotated the tires looked at the tread and noticed all 4 tires had cracks along the tread in all directions. The cracked tread make the tires unsafe for road use. I emailed the company but did not receive a reply to my message. At this time the tires loose about 10-15 PSI of air within a few days.
