POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE - 4 CYLINDER. SOMETIMES WHEN I TAKE MY CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE, I GET A THUD SOUND. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 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. IF I AM PARKED ON A SLANTED SURFACE WHERE THE FRONT END OF MY CAR IS SITTING LOWER THEN THE BACK AND I TRY TO PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE, THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD, BUT NOT REVERSE. ONE TIME I HAD TO PUT MY CAR INTO PARK, THEN REVERSE, PARK THEN REVERSE ABOUT 20 TIMES TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD, MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY HUSBAND SEEMS TO THINK THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND SOMEDAY I AM GOING TO BE STUCK. WE DON'T HAVE THE $2000 TO $4000 TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. I THOUGHT HONDAS WERE A LONG LASTING CAR? I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND HOPED TO GET MY YEARS OUT OF IT BEFORE I HAD TO PUT MAJOR MONEY INTO IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. HE STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING GEARS. HE THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO RESET THE ENGINE ERROR CODE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, HIS RISK FOR A VEHICLE CRASH WAS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION, NOR HAS IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 143000.

AIR BAGS
MY WIFE OWNS 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE AND HAVING PROBLEM WITH SRS WARNING LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. WE HAD THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND FEW MONTHS LATER IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. IT WAS REPEATED FOR FEW YEARS NOW AND NO USE. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE HER CAR'S FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND NOTICED THAT LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WAS THERE ANY RECALL ON THIS ?? IT MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT ENGAGED AND BLOW CERTAINLY WHILE DRIVING. COULD YOU INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM PLEASE ? *TR

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE "SRS" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND STAYS ON WHENEVER THE IGNITION IS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS A SWITCH WITHIN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THEY TOLD ME THE BELT AND THE BUCKLE ARE COVERED UNDER THE SEAT BELT WARRANTY BUT THE SWITCH IS NOT COVERED AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST IS NOT COVERED EITHER. THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY IS PART OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED ALONG WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. IN MARCH I HAD TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED. IT WAS NOT THE HEADS AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED IT AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR FOR A MONTH. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE ENGINE COST ME $2,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ESTIMATED PARTS AND LABOR AT $3800. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 7 YEARS 9 MONTHS TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 88,000 MILE AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX. ON HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WAS ONLY ONE LANE AND I HAD TO OVER TAKE A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE BY MOVING TO INCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. SUDDENLY MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM THE BREAKS AND MOVE BACK TO MY LANE TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. LATER I FOUND THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY CAR. IT SEEMS TO BE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT IN 70K -100K MILES RANGE. IT IS CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD AND THESE SHOULD BE RECALL OR FIXED BY HONDA. MY HONDA HAS ONLY 80K MILES ON IT. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH 2 DOOR AND 4 CYLINDER; MILEAGE IS ABOUT 105000. THE CAR HAS THE SRS SIGN ON IT. TOOK IT TO COUPLE DEALERS AND TALKED TO SOME CAR ENTHUSIASTS, AND THEY SAY IT'S AN AIRBAG ISSUE. AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE AROUND 100+ TO DIAGNOSE AND THEN WOULD TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WILL TAKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FEEL IF IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HONDA. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE 2000 HONDA ACCORD; ODOMETER: 84,196. THE CAR IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FOR WHICH HONDA HAD EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR 93 MONTHS/109,000 MILES.. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM USUALLY HAPPENS BECAUSE OF DRIVING THE CAR FOR LONG.. SINCE I DRIVE LESS, I DID NOT HIT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW, BUT MY CAR IS NOW MORE THAN 93 MONTHS OLD.. HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS ISSUE.. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD (THE CAR STALLS ABRUPTLY IN HIGHWAY) BUT HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO FIX.. I REPLACED THE SOLENOIDS BUT NO IMPROVEMENT. THE REPAIR FACILITY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
