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.

Honda Accord 2000 SRS light on and stays on. Checked on line many Honda owners have that issue and airbag would not deploy. Called Honda customer service told me my VIN is not covered under their extended warranty, need to pay for diagnostic check. This is serious safety issue, wanted to bring to your attention.

My 2000 Honda Accord ex multiplex control unit malfunctioned causing my dash lights to go out and I can't see my dash panel at night ie. Speedometer. This is a safety issue and I am a single mom with 2 young kids and haven't owned the car for even a year and less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles and nothing I did caused the multiplex control unit to malfunction and there is a recall on this already for 2000 Honda Accord but american Honda has given my several excuses as well as the salesperson at the dealership called and was told a different answer one was with the plant car came from.one was if it was a V6 then one was having an LX model one was with saying the mileage issue or they would fix it. Basically just a bunch of bs over and over. They need to honor their recall. Honda is supposed to be a safe dependable car and now I have a safety issue with driving and I am nurse and have to use my car for work and oncall but a night can't see the dash lights. I also have my SRS light on which is another issue which my total airbag system needs to be replaced with a warranty on it as well but not with my exactly problem which there is another manufacturer malfunction but won't fix as well when nothing I did with either safety issues caused these to malfunction and american Honda is aware and has recalls on these but won't honor the recalls with my 2000 Honda Accord.
The contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. The air bag warning light was illuminated on the instrument control panel, which indicates that the air bags are inoperative. As a consequence in a situation that warrants the air bags may fail to deploy. No repairs were made. The failure mileage was 90,800. The current mileage was 91,000.
I have a 2000 Honda Accord LX. The SRS light is on. Honda service centers don't want to fix this under the warranty because they say there is no recall for this item. However, I have found out that there are thousands of people with this same issue online. There is no way of knowing if this is a seat belt or air bag problem and Honda wants to charge $100 for a diagnostics on a very common issue among Honda owners. This is a safety item that needs to be recalled on all Honda with the SRS light on.

I have experienced a recurring failure with the S.R.S. module in a 2000 Honda Accord the module was replaced a 28,000 miles and again at 75,000 miles the warning light went on again at about 82,000 miles. Seems there is a manufacturing defect in this module.
SRS light came on and will not turn off. My car's VIN is not part of the safety recall, so Honda will not pay for the repair. No accidents, under 66K miles on a 2000 Accord. This is ridiculous.
My wife owns 2000 Honda Accord SE and having problem with SRS warning light on all the time. We had the light turned off and few months later it comes back on again. It was repeated for few years now and no use. Don't understand why because her car's front and back bumpers are in good condition. Searched the internet and noticed that lot of other owners had the same problem. Was there any recall on this "? it makes me really nervous that the air bag might engaged and blow certainly while driving. Could you investigate this problem please "
I have a 2000 Honda Accord. The "SRS" light came on the dash and stays on whenever the ignition is on. I took it to the dealer and they told me it is a switch within the driver's side seat belt buckle. They told me the belt and the buckle are covered under the seat belt warranty but the switch is not covered and the diagnostic test is not covered either. The whole assembly is part of the safety system and should be covered along with the diagnostic test.
1. SRS readiness indicator illumination for no apparent reason. 2. SRS readiness indicator illumination constant with no physical consequences to date. 3. awaiting repair.
I have a 2000 Honda Accord with 2 door and 4 cylinder; mileage is about 105000. The car has the SRS sign on it. Took it to couple dealers and talked to some car enthusiasts, and they say it's an airbag issue. Airbag may not deploy in case of an accident. Honda dealer wants to charge around 100+ to diagnose and then would tell me how much it will take to fix the problem. I feel if it's a safety issue, it should be taken care of by Honda.
2000 Honda Accord SRS warning light. Honda should repair this defect regardless of age or mileage of this car. My car has 159,000 miles so it is not within the window of their service bulletin.
The SRS light came on and has remained on since. My car is garaged, has 48,000 miles on it and has suffered no accidents. Your listing shows that many other Honda Accord have the same defect. Since this is a safety device I feel NHTSA should treat this seriously.
Have and owned since new a 2000 Honda Accord LX 4-door sedan. It failed va state inspection due to a SRS light on. Dealer right away wants to charge $100 to $120 dollars for a diagnostic test. I have read numerous SRS light problems with same vehicle owners. All stating it was a faulty opds sensor/ opds unit. Dealer charges from $500 to $900 for this fix. This is a safety issue and costs are outrageous. Diagnostic test should be free along with Honda free replacement. I'm not happy at all.
I've had problems with my SRS dashboard light since I purchased the vehicle new in 2000. I had it repaired once and was reimbursed by Honda. This time I'm told it is a problem with the $700 SRS controller and is not covered. I'm told the airbags will not deploy while this light is on. Mine, and many other 2000 Accord have had this safety related problem and it is inexcusable that it not be covered by recall/extended warranty.
