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 bought the car about a month ago from my neighbor. He sold it for 900 bucks and everything seemed well until a few weeks ago. I brought the car in for an oil change. When he was done he told me that the sub-frame on the passenger side was rotted out and was hanging on by a thread. He told me it was unsafe to drive and said that if I continue driving it, the suspension could collapse. The repair would be about 1200 dollars. That's 300 dollars more then what I paid for my car, so I said I'll save up until I can afford to get it fixed. So now the car is in my driveway with a cover on it and the battery disconnected. I have to walk all the way to work cuz I have no transportation. In the meantime I'll save up and pay the repair out of pocket.
