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.

1st time dealer stated bad gas for car jerking when trying to accelerate and engine check light was on - fixed problem. 2nd time (next day) car repeated same problem - another dealer stated bad gas and loose wire - fixed problem 3rd time same dealer stated needed new top dead center sensor. Sensor had malfunctioned. I know too many people who had the same problem and continue to even after getting fixed repeatedly. I am scared to drive my new car - not even a year old.
