SRS Light Is On
2000 Honda Accord (Page 3 of 4)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
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.

American Honda and the dealership in the used car dealer slimeball bilge wiggled out of the lifetime warranty on the seat belts arguing that this is not a mechanical problem with the belt rather an electrical which is not covered in the warranty which is bs to ensure they don't cover this matter. I urge a class action lawsuit since 98-01 Accords will fail as confirmed by Al from American Honda.
