Transmission Failure
2000 Honda Accord (Page 5 of 5)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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.

Trans started acting up around 70,000 miles or so. Had a triple flush at a dealership in Alabama, I had to pay for it. I moved to Chicago later and then had the trans replaced under warranty with no hassle at all from Fletcher Jones Honda. Had the car back in about 2 days.
I bought a Honda so I would not have to worry about this type of stuff, but it seems that the Honda trans from 2000 are crap.
