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.

Accord

  • 100,000 miles
Dear NHTSA: I am writing about my 2000 Honda Accord coupe which had an accident on May 22nd, 2010. I was driving in dry conditions along I-85 North in jefferson county, Georgia when the left rear tire suddenly blew out causing my car to flip and roll over. We do not know what caused the blowout. I lost consciousness briefly and my neck was severely broken. I had to have an operation and will be out of work for at least three months. My son was injured but not as severely as me, with many cuts on his face and ear. Two other occupants received many bruises and cuts on arms, legs and faces. The car was a total loss. There are two issues that seem to point to defects in the car. The first is that the roof collapsed so much that it hit my head and almost killed me. The second issue is that none of the four air bags deployed. It seems to me that with so much damage to the car as it rolled over and crushed the roof, that the air bags should have deployed. I would appreciate your investigating this car to see if federal guidelines were violated.
