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.

I received a letter about the airbag recall for my 2000 Honda Accord EX back in year 2020, so I call the dealer in Sanford to make an appointment. They tell me I have to take my car in first, then they will inspect it and order the part (AutoNation Honda Sanford 407-323-6100). I arrived early, they took my car in and in about an hour later they called me that my car was ready. I was surprised on how fast the job was done. I looked at the invoice paperwork Honda gave me and left home. At my house I was looking at the invoice and it did not show anywhere where the airbag was recalled, so there was NO second appointment. I called on the same day of my appointment (Nov. 14, 2020) and speak to a rep who I explained the situation. She placed me on hold a few times and at one point I asked to speak to the person who was in charge who was Michael Donaldson (service advisor 7927). I explained to the service manager that I did not see anything about the airbag being recalled. He said after the tests they performed, my car did not need the airbag to be replaced, so they did not schedule another appointment because of that. Mr. Donaldson did tell me that Honda performed a SOFTWARE update and that would be it. I asked Mr. Donaldson "how a software update is going to fix the metal pieces inside the airbag?" His replied was "that was all the car needed". I decided not to call the same Honda dealer again, but did call Holler Honda (407) 629-1234. Unfortunately before I was able to take my car in, the transmission failed, so I had to cancel. I WILL fix the transmission and the car WILL be on the road again. I have proof of what Honda in Sanford did on the day of my appointment. I keep receiving letters and emails about the recall, so something WAS NOT done correctly, because if they send the report that my car didn't need an airbag, why do I keep getting letters and emails to call for appointment? I ALREADY MADE AN APPOINTMENT and HONDA DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

The SRS (supplemental restraint system) warning indicator has been lit for quite some time. I received a recall notice in March 2020. It is August 2020, 5 months from the recall letter, and I am concerned that parts are not available, and there is no availability date for an open recall to remedy this.
NHTSA recall 20V-026 has not been repaired on my car and I am very concerned. Yes, my auto is old and that is my major concern. American Honda should be more on top of the urgency to get the oldest repairs done first. The recall is associated with heat and moisture. My car is has been very well maintained but it lives in a hot, humid part of the usa. Please apply the necessary pressure on Honda to make this repair happen. Thank you
