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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Our Honda Accord 2000 SE was in a head on collision with a pickup truck. The car was totaled, but I would like to make you aware how our son was injured. Our son was in a century 44164elm car seat sitting behind the driver (my wife). The metal buckle that is used to adjust the seat belt size (in the back) sheared from the plastic due to the force of the impact. As a result the upper part of our son's body became a projectile and the seat belt did not keep him in the car seat. Our son's head lurched forward hitting the seat rest in front him. Due to the impact he suffered a skull fracture, and fortunately everything is fine now. I have the car seat saved if century wants to see it. In my opinion it should be recalled since this is unsafe. It is not on century's recall list it seems.
