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.

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. The driver's seat track is not bolted to the ground or the seat; therefore, the seat moves back and forth unexpectedly while driving at various speeds. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the tracking needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 148,000 and current mileage was 150,000.
Front passenger seat has for 3 years failed to lock into place after the front seat is moved forward to allow access in the backseat. My wife was sitting in the front seat and upon a abrupt stop he seat accelerated forward and she hit her head on the front windshield. Even with a seat belt on this dangerous defect could not prevent bodily injury to my wife. The manufactuer states that even after looking at this seat several time, it is operational as expected.
Various problems with 2000 Honda Accord. The alternator failed, the egr valve failed, the SRS light illuminated, the driver's seat back panel had fallen due to S defective plastic anchor pin, the A/C stopped working, and the front passenger door seal at the bottom was falling off.
The driver's seat back is loose and is getting worse. I am concerned that it won't hold if there is an accident. This was first noticed a couple of months ago.
