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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Rear seat belts in my 2000 Honda Accord ex are too short for adults. It is very difficult to get them on without activating the automatic retraction mechanism, which makes them very uncomfortable. It often takes 4-6 attempts to get them on comfortably, and if you lean forward with the belt on, you have to start over.
Rear seat belts often retract in the process of putting them on, making them so uncomfortable that passengers do not want to wear their seat belt. Rear seat belts need to be longer, or need to be able to be pulled out further before going into retract mode, so they can comfortably be worn.
