CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2000 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS). We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague.
The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000.
Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.
The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under Honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad.

Very dissapointed with Honda's handling of this paint issue. I feel that their should be a recall on all honda vehicles that have this problem clear coat and paint fading etc.. Why should we the owners have to fork out 1000's for a new paint job when the quality of their paint jobs don't last at all. I say BS to there excuses and Honda should stand behind their product. I believe the vehicle itself is a good dependable car and durable but come on man the paint jobs suck. I don't think I would ever buy a Honda again considering the bad paint they come with. I will be letting my family and friends know about this problem before they consider buying a Honda. Too bad great car.
