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.
The car began to jerk suddenly and without warning. It would "choke" when the accelerator was pressed or when car was in gear shift change. The car would jerk a significant distance, almost to the point where it could have hit another car. It stalled often, especially after being at a traffic light waiting for it to change. I immediately took the car in for a diagnosis and was told that it was a transmission defect and the entire transmission would have to be replaced. I then called the american Honda service contract corporation to see what steps needed to take place in order to repair the problem. I contacted a local Honda dealership to set up repair. I am currently in wait on their decision as to whether or not they will repair it. I have full coverage under my extended warranty.
