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.

HAVE SPENT A LOT SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF $$ TO FIX LOT OF THINGS AND AFTER I CAME TO KNOW THAT TRANSMISSION IS THE DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER TRYING TO FIGHT IT OUT TO GET IT FIXED FROM THE COMPANY, BUT THEY FAILED TO DO SO!! THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS ALMOST EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF THE CAR AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT GOT IT FIXED YET.
