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.

The vehicle is a 2000 Honda Accord. The drivers power seat bracket has broke. This is the front left corner. This is a power seat. I think the weld failed. I will take it to a shop for repair and reinforcement. I believe this is a very serious condition and would cause injury or death in a collision. I think this is a part that should never fail. Incidentally, I am not obese. I weigh 215 pounds and am a 6 ft tall male.
The design of the drivers side two-way power seats sit too high up in the "down position" causing the driver's right leg to slam against the ignition and steering during braking.et.
