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.

Takata recall: Daughter sustained a medical emergency while stopped at a light wherein she lost consciousness, hitting the car in front of her -- presumably not at a high speed. Driver's airbag did not go off but passenger airbag did, despite no one, and nothing, being in the seat. VIN is not on recall list (which mysteriously only goes back to mid-2001). Called Honda multiple times and they will not inspect car, and do not care to investigate issue because the VIN is not currently on the recall list. Is the driver side airbag faulty (should it have gone off), or was the passenger side faulty (should it not have gone off-- I was told the latter at the body shop)? the car is not worth fixing given the fact that one airbag replacement alone costs approx a couple thousand dollars.

4th July my wife was in a collision which resulted in her suffering memory loss, speech issues, stutter, a severe concussion and weeks and weeks on continued therapy to include physical therapy, speech therapy and continued care. The air bag didnt deploy. No reason with the damage sustained by the car it shouldn't have deployed. My three children where also in the car to include my 12yr old son in the front passenger. My child sustained minor bumps and bruises but as a result of failed equipment my wife nearly forgot who I was to include last last ten years of our lives amoungst other things, and could possibly have most her life. One of the doctor diagnosis is : concussion with loss of consciousness, subsequent encounter. (speech pathological treatment plan ongoing ) my wife is also unable to work and provide, and take care of my children in my absence. Vehicle was in motion, speed 40-55mph Ohio state route 68 in urbana, Ohio. Night time following July 4th fireworks.

Accord 6-cyl

  • 140,000 miles
Takata recall - I was contacted last fall by Honda motor Corp advising me that my 2000 Honda Accord was part of the takata inflator recall. I contacted my local Honda dealer to make necessary repairs and was told by them that my Honda was not included in the recall. I did nothing more at that time but am becoming more concerned as I learn of the expanded recalls being announced. It is my understanding that my 2000 Accord is virtually the same vehicle as the 2001 and 2002 model years. What is different about the 2000 Accord from the 2001 and other model years that would exclude my model year from the recall" and, why would Honda Motors notify me that my vehicle was included in the recall then later be told by the dealer that it is not" I have not been able to get an answer to either of these questions from my local Honda dealer and have been unsuccessful in contacting Honda Motors for a response. Please help. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
