AIR BAGS
HAVE AND OWNED SINCE NEW A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX 4-DOOR SEDAN. IT FAILED VA STATE INSPECTION DUE TO A SRS LIGHT ON. DEALER RIGHT AWAY WANTS TO CHARGE $100 TO $120 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS SRS LIGHT PROBLEMS WITH SAME VEHICLE OWNERS. ALL STATING IT WAS A FAULTY OPDS SENSOR/ OPDS UNIT. DEALER CHARGES FROM $500 TO $900 FOR THIS FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COSTS ARE OUTRAGEOUS. DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD BE FREE ALONG WITH HONDA FREE REPLACEMENT. I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PURCHASED A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH ABOUT 60,000MILES ON IT. AFTER ABOUT 15,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS SHIFTING VERY HARD FROM 1ST-2ND. AT APPROX. 130,000 MILES THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE AND NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST, WITH MY RPM SOARING TO OVER 3500. THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE LOWER BANDS ARE "BURNT UP" TO THE TUNE OF 1200$. THAT IS JUST TO HAVE THE BANDS REPLACED, AND WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS I AM HEARING WITH TRANSMISSIONS GOING OUT A 2ND AND 3RD TIME ON THESE YEAR MODEL HONDAS IT IS HARD TO INVEST 1200 DOLLARS INTO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT GO OUT AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN MAY OF 2008 MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL OF THE GAS RAN OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE COMPUTER BOARD HAD GONE OUT. THE COMPUTER BOARD WAS REPLACED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEN WAS TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BE REPROGRAMMED. SINCE THEN IT HAS GONE BACK AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MISFIRES. THE COIL PACKS , PLUGS AND WIRES, FUEL INJECTORS, EGR VALVE ALL HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE CAR IS STILL SPITTING AND SPUTTERING LIKE IT IS RUNNING ON 4 CYLINDERS AND IT IS A V6. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF THESE PROBLEMS. ALSO THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON AND YOU CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT THE CAR BEING IN PARK. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF RECALL FROM THE DEALERSHIPS ON THIS RECALL. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2000. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2000 AND AFTER 3 YEARS OF DRIVING I NOTICED A SLIPPING FEELING AS I ACCELERATED. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND HE SUGGESTED DOING A FULL FLUSH. I HAVE DONE SEVERAL FLUSHES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS AND MY PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THIS PROBLEM IS A MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL YEARS AGO! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD IS SHOWING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (P0740, P0730) WITH 123K. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL PAGE WITH WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 100K OR 7 YEARS SO I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR BOTH. THE WARRANTY CLEARLY TELLS THERE MAY BE A MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP ISSUE. HONDA IS WASHING THEIR HANDS AND ASKING ME TO PAY 2200$ FOR REPAIR. WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES?AND I FIRST FELT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED HIGHWAY(DURING THE EVACUATION OF HURRICANE IKE) AND LUCKILY SAVED FROM A BIG ACCIDENT,. I HAD 4 PEOPLE AND A KID IN MY CAR. THIS IS SURELY A MATTER OF SAFETY. I COULD SEE A LOT OF HONDA TRANSMISSION ISSUE AFTER THE INCIDENT IN WEB. PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO TAKE THESE VEHICLES OUT OF THE ROAD AS IT MAY CAUSE BIG ACCIDENTS AND HONDA TO REPLACE ALL FAULTY PARTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG AND SERVICE ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT FOUND NO DEFECTS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE COOLING FAN WOULD REMAIN ACTIVATED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE COULD ONLY PLACE HALF A TANK OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHEN IT HAD A FULL TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 199,259 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2000. I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS REIMBURSED BY HONDA. THIS TIME I'M TOLD IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE $700 SRS CONTROLLER AND IS NOT COVERED. I'M TOLD THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHILE THIS LIGHT IS ON. MINE, AND MANY OTHER 2000 ACCORDS HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM AND IT IS INEXCUSABLE THAT IT NOT BE COVERED BY RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX 4CYL 2.3L 2 DOOR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM DUVAL HONDA 1290 CASSAT AVE JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA 32205 (904-899-1900) IN APRIL OF 2008. THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOW THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO EVERY GEAR AS IT SHIFTS AND SLIPS OUT OF GEAR FREQUENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. NOT KNOWING IF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM EXISTED I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AROUND FOR TRANSMISSIONS TO FIND THEY COST BETWEEN $1400 AND $3000 TO BE REPLACE TO INCLUDE LABOR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE ALL STORES ARE INFORMING ME THE PROBLEM WILL RETURN SOON WITH THIS SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DONE SEVERAL INTERNET SEARCHES TO FIND I AM NOT THEE ONLY HONDA OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE AND I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF MY CONCERNS WITH THIS VEHICLE ALSO. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 68K MILES OR SO AND IS NOW AROUND 80K FOR MILES. THIS ARE NOT NORMAL AREAS OF MILEAGE WHERE A TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE FAILING. I FEEL THIS UNSAFE AND CHRONIC PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BY HONDA, EITHER BY A FACTORY RECALL (100% PAID FOR BY HONDA) OR A TOTAL BUY BACK OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE THEY HAVE SO BLATANTLY AND PURPOSELY SOLD DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE VEHICLES PLACING NOT ONLY MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS BUT ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IN DANGER. IF THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES I KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL CEASE TO WORK AND I MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND HURTING SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THIS MECHANICAL DEFECT HONDA HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE. I AM HOPING THIS LETTER WILL HELP AIDE IN A PUSH TO GET HONDA TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR
