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.

Honda has not provided resolution to an airbag recall. It has been over 60 days since I spoke with a Honda representative. I have the option of either driving my 2000 Honda Accord with the potential for an exploding airbag or disabling the airbag- neither are good options. In speaking to a Honda representative (case # 10346220) they told me the chances were very slim that the airbag would cause harm- however, they refused to provide me with any information regarding the chances of the airbag causing harm. The representative told me she could not send me that information but I could look it up myself online. Honda should provide me with alternative transportation until an airbag replacement is available. They have refused to do this. At this point I am not allowing my children to drive this vehicle and I have disabled the airbag through removing the fuse. Honda should either offer to purchase this vehicle, provide an alternative vehicle, or provide some other form of compensation while this serious issue is outstanding.

On January 23,2020, coggin Honda started sending me text messages saying I had and open recall schedule free repair now. I called the dealership and they scheduled me an appointment. On February 20,2020 I took my car to the dealership to get the recall repair. They sent me home in an uber and told me it would take about an hour and a half and said, they would call me when it was ready. About 3pm I called them and asked is my car ready yet and I was then informed this is a new recall and the parts wouldn't be in til around mid March. American Honda sent me an important safety recall letter in March. In there letter they also said, if american Honda or the dealership has failed or is unable to remedy the defect in my vehicle, without charge and within a reasonable period of time to contact you.

For 20 years Honda has known about substandard/defective parts comprising the air bag system in their vehicles. To date, they have no replacement parts to correct the defects. My Honda coupe is 20 years old. How much longer must I wait until this hazardous air bag system is repaired? in 2014, my vehicle was hit from the rear while stopped by another vehicle going 33 mph and my air bags never deployed. I sustained injuries from this accident.

SRS light came on while stationary at home parked. I went to Honda dealership and was told it has a 7-3 code for 'internal failure'. they advised me to pay $1056 to replace computer. They said this only comes on when vehicle has been in an accident and airbags deployed. My car has never been in accident. I feel this is a manufacturing defect as well as a safety issue and should be covered. They told me my airbags may or may not deploy. Two years ago my SRS light had cam on and they said it was for seat belts and they covered it. Why would this not be covered as well. This is a very common problem for other people when I searched on google people have this same problem.
