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 own a 200 Honda Accord that is causing me to bury my head in the sand. When my spouse and I went looking for a new car 3 years ago, I told him if he wanted a car that lasted long after the last payment to look at a Honda. I am quite surprised at the problems we have encountered. This new one is: The driver's side window regulator needs replaced. Car has 70K miles on it. I've talked to 2 friends who also own Honda-same exact problems. $350 to fix. There's got to be a defect somewhere. Please help, we still have $$$ to pay on the car and although I have always wanted a Honda, it's making me second-guess myself.
The noise level is so loud while driving on the highway it causes the consumer to get a headache, both side windows, panel and side view mirrors rattle. Nlm
