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 have been familiar with this car and many other similar Honda's of this year and every single one including the lower mile ones have needed a transmission rebuild or replacement. The J30 transmission is inept to do its job and the strain on it from the V6 vtec renders it useless quickly. Much like the Honda Odyssey if similar years this transmission is no good and needs a recall. This car was moving on the highway on its way back from the city when it went out, straight line.

The interlock operation of the ignition switch does not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.

My wife was driving one day doing our typical day to day stuff then the transmission @159000 miles starts not shifting or downshifting or when it shift its very jerky and sometimes we have to rev over 5000 rpms to get it to shift and D4 light starts flashing on the city streets we got it home I check fluids they were good added lil extra tranny fluid to be safe because it was below the first dot on dipstick then we drove fine for a day then today we went to an appt we had got there ok then on way back to the house the car starts not upshifting or down shifting no matter how you accelerate coming from dead stop at traffic light it revs up to 5000 rpms then jerks into gear and it went boom 1 boom 2 boom 3 and then the car starts rolling thru the traffic light and only at not only 5 mph then hits 4th gear then it goes safe road speed I have reviewed several online websites like this one www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Accord/2000/transmission/ and Honda is not replacing them or fixing without charging close to 3K in repairs this car is not worth that money and then we have to replace the tranny for only having it maybe a month I do not feel safe in this car or want my family riding in it because if that tranny fails in middle of street then we are going to get sandwiched or cause a big mess and we don't want that to happen. Being a military mechanic over revving the engine to get the vehicle to shift is not good you can blow you engine Honda has not put any recalls out on this particular transmission

Transmission failed on 2000 Honda Accord V-6 at 105,000 miles. Vehicle was in motion on a city street, right off highway exit, in an area with high traffic.

- Davis, CA, USA

Just purchased a 2000 Accord on sat 8-22-15. Body looks great, runs shifts great, but when attempting oil change I realized passenger side front subframe is completely gone. Yes, gone. It's missing @4 inches of metal which has obviously rusted away, with surrounding metal rusted. Driver side looks perfect. Same part, two different places, acting completely different.

After having the vehicle in "reverse" to get into a stall parking space on the street, it was shifted into "drive". while being in "drive" and tapping on the gas pedal, the vehicle went in "reverse" uncontrollably. The brakes did not respond. In an attempt to avoid reversing into a wall, the vehicle turned and crashed into a parked vehicle. The impact potentially injured a women that was standing behind the impacted vehicle talking with someone.

At less than 70,000 miles the transmission on my 2000 Honda Accord ex is failing, even though the car has barley been driven. I started to experience delayed gear engagement, both on up shifts and downshifts as well as transmission fluid leakage which was initially diagnosed as a bad left side axle seal. When the mechanic proceeded to fix the axle seal, he then re diagnosed the problem as bad bearings and a faulty transmission, a very common problem with the 2000 & 2001 Accord. Since then I have taken the car to several other mechanics and transmission specialists for a second opinion, who have reached the very same conclusion/diagnosis. A vast majority of the transmissions on the 2000 and 2001 Accord have failed or are having problems. The scary part is all the transmission shops are familiar with this issue, some of them see an Accord or an Odyssey (similar problem) once a week! from my personal experience/investigation the common consensus is; the Honda transmissions from the late 90's were bulletproof because they were specifically built for the cars from the 90's. however, when Honda upgraded the size of their engines and power, Honda used the same 90's transmissions, which in the long run could no longer handle the larger engine capacity or the extra power and eventually fail. In 2006 Honda was hit with a class-action lawsuit for the faulty transmissions. Honda settled the matter out of court by extending the transmission warranty to 93 months or 109,000 miles. However, Honda never corrected the problem by redesigning the transmissions or provided a fix. Instead, Honda simply replaced the old faulty transmissions with new transmissions that still had the same faulty design. Now, all the transmission in those cars are failing as well and Honda denies any responsibility, claiming the transmissions are out of warranty.

Vehicle was being driven on the highway when attempting to go up a hill the car lost power past 3 and 4 gear. Would pull car over let it cool of and continue a few more miles down the road for it to do the same thing. Car is now parked in my driveway unable to be drove.

I recently took my car to Honda with problems accelerating up a hill and sometime on flat land and they told me I needed a new transmission at a cost of $4300. I asked to speak with a service manager because I only take my car to Honda to be serviced and now all of a sunden I need a new transmission. Well the service manager told me the transmissions on the 2000 Honda Accord ex V6 were bad. This prompted me to go online and do research, and there were a whole lot of complaints. These complaints stated a lot of issues I had with my car when I first got it specifically I couldnt get my car to shift out of gear from park. My car broke down on me so much in the earlier years it was ridiculous. So I called Honda to no avail since I felt my issues were covered up when I had a warranty with them. They said they couldnt help me im at 116,000 miles and they extended the mileage to 109,000 on their transmissions. I would say that this is bad business for Honda. They should have done a recall. They sevice techs should have been more thorough.

Transmission failed despite the car having the factory recommended service for the transmission being performed at 60K. At the time the car was making a left through an intersection. Upon investigating it was found the car was part of a class action due to transmission failure, but I was not eligible since the car was out of the extended warranty period.

Check engine light kept coming on and wouldn't go off. Car was struggling to automatically shift into gear. When it got really hot, car would not start up right away. Would take several times of having one foot on brake and one foot on gas to get it to start again.transmission is acting like it is slipping. Just bought this used car last year. Local Honda dealership, don wessel, of springfield, Missouri acted like everything was fine with the car when we bought it. Took it in there they got the check engine light to go off but then it came back on a few days later. Tried to get them to fix it but they wouldn't. took it to another place they, hooked it up to the computer and said that all cylinders were misfiring, and that there was a problem with transmission. Trying to find a place to fix the transmission. We think dealership should fix it since we bought it there and they did not think anything was wrong even after we brought it back and told them that check engine light was still on and car is still acting up.
