See the federal safety agency campaign #05v025000 (electrical system: ignition: switch) car is experiencing the exact issue listed in the campaign that involves 2000 accords, but honda has said that my VIN is not covered.
My security system. Sometimes the alarm will go off for no reason. Sometimes the car locks itself, and often I attempt to start the car, nothing happens. Usally after 3-4 hours I can start the car. This happens when the car is parked and has not bee driven that day. My alarm will go off sometimes when I am driving in the city. These problems have been on going since 2012. When I purchased the honda the paint job was perfect, within1 month all of the paint on the hood was gone, and now both front fenders are becoming infected

Headlamps are not bright enough at night... Sometimes the car won,t start. I let it sit a while, then it starts. This is usually in the summer. Before I turn off the ignition, I turn off all the blowers. (air) that seems to work. The windows fog up when it is humid and the blowers won't clear them.
My 2000 honda shut down while driving on the freeway in 2010, restarted right away. When I took it to my mechanic he couldn't find anything wrong. Since then it has done it about 10 times, a few times when cold starting but usually in summer when air temperature is very hot. My mechanic has kept it over a weekend to see if he could get the car to fail starting, but no luck. I am afraid to take it on a long trip even though it has only 129,300 miles on it.

Side air bag: light comes on and turns off intermittently for no given reason. This has been happening since I bought the car in january 2007. Tried to get assistance from buerkle honda who did not make any notes about my request. Now tell me I need a new electrical system and that it means the air bags will not work.
I backed my 2000 honda accord sedan uphill into my garage, took the key out of the ignition and started to go into my house when I heard a strange noise. When I turned around the honda was rolling downhill towards my neighbors house, it stopped short of hitting my neighbors house by some shrubs and a small tree. No serious damage happened. I still had the key in my hand and when I checked the honda the transmission was in reverse. I tried several times to remove the key in each gear and I was able to remove the key in every position. I took the honda to a local dealer and they said no recall was on my honda for that problem and that I had no recourse except to have it repaired on my own. I always heard safety recalls never expired but I guess I was misinformed. I located an the federal safety agency recall campaign number: 05v025000 that stated honda accord 1999-2002 ignition key interlock (the key can be taken out of the ignition in any gear and the car could roll and a crash could occur). Possibly causing damage or death?
When the battery was replaced, the asr light turns on.
Vehicle's dashboard lights do not light up. The is an inconsistent problem, but it continues to be more frequent. The lights will go out while driving, then after turning off the vehicle, they may or may not light back up. Was informed by a mechanic that a bulletin was issued that this was a big problem with hondas. A letter was sent to honda addressing this issue.
I recently took my car to honda with problems accelerating up a hill and sometime on flat land and they told me I needed a new transmission at a cost of $4300. I asked to speak with a service manager because I only take my car to honda to be serviced and now all of a sunden I need a new transmission. Well the service manager told me the transmissions on the 2000 honda accord ex v6 were bad. This prompted me to go online and do research, and there were a whole lot of complaints. These complaints stated a lot of issues I had with my car when I first got it specifically I couldnt get my car to shift out of gear from park. My car broke down on me so much in the earlier years it was ridiculous. So I called honda to no avail since I felt my issues were covered up when I had a warranty with them. They said they couldnt help me im at 116,000 miles and they extended the mileage to 109,000 on their transmissions. I would say that this is bad business for honda. They should have done a recall. They sevice techs should have been more thorough.

On my honda accord 2000, I can remove the ignition key without switching the transmission to 'park'. I parked my car, and left the transmission on 'drive'. The car rolled down the slope and crashed into another car parked few yards away. The description of the recall 05v02500 (ignition-park interlock) matches exactly my car characteristics and the problem I am having with the interlock system. I called honda and they said that the recall does not apply to my VIN.

Dashboard light go out without notice and they turn back on at times. Unable to see at night the speedometer. Gears in car jerk while driving at all times from gear to gear, signs of sand like metal residue in transmission fluid when changed. I purchased the vehicle a little over a year ago and did not think much of it until it became worse and I began to research the possible issues.

2000 v6 honda accord died without warning at a stoplight and since then it has become more frequent over shorter and shorter time periods/distances. During the first few several occurrences like this it just died either while stopped or while running but could be re-started by putting car into park gear and re-starting. No warning, no sputtering, no shaking and so on prior to any of the dying. The only indication it has died is the dash panel indicator lights would all be on as though the car was just being started. During re-start the dash panel lights would be lit like they should be just prior to starting. Now as of yesterday the pattern has changed to still dies and the dash panel lights come on but when you shift to park and then try to re-start none of the dash panel lights come on and all you hear is the cranking of the engine but not starting. Eventually after a few minutes (1-5 minutes) of being off you could then re-start the car and the dash panel lights would light up prior to the re-start like they should. Unfortunately toward the end of yesterday that pattern again changed to where the lights would not come on during the attempt to re-start even after 40 minutes. I called honda on 06/18/2013 and spoke to an agent and told her that I believe this is the same issue that honda had a recall for dealing with the ignition switch under recall#:36754 in the USA and also another in canada for the identical issue my accord is demonstrating. Honda seems to want to hid behind the idea that if my VIN is not in the recall then I am out of luck. This is a life threatening driving condition the car dies while moving without warning. I am sure they are other owners with this same issue (web is full of owners decreeing this issue) that have just had car repaired but never filed report here to bring issue to your organization's attention.
The ignition kay be taken out while the car is not in parking gear. The keys can switch off the car engine while its in gear and going at a speed. Its a safety concern. I spoke to honda and they would not honor this a s a safety recall.

Ignition switch does not block the removal of the ignition key when the vehicle isn't in park. I have parked my car, removed my key not realizing the car is in park, this caused my vehicle to roll which could have caused and accident or damage to property. There are previous recalls on the 2000 honda accord however honda advised that my vehicle is not part of the recall however it is having the same issue. Previous recall campaign id number pe05002 as well as pe03014.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that she entered a parking space, removed the key from the ignition and exited the vehicle. As she exited the vehicle, it began to roll away. The contact then realized that the vehicle was still in drive so she applied the brakes, restarted the vehicle and pulled shifted into park. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no recalls for the vehicle. The failure mileage was 195,000. .... Updated 02-20-13 *bf the consumer stated there where recalls for vehicles that are the same make and models. The recall was dependent upon where the vehicle was manufactured. So the consumer's vehicle was not included in the recall. Updated 02/25/2013
The SRS light came on. Honda tells us that the component that regulates the airbags (a mini-computer in the dash?) has failed and must be replaced. Honda advises that, until replaced, the airbags will not work. Based on the internet research I have done, this appears to be a fairly common problem. Honda wants to charge $1000 to replace the unit, although it appears that the component is available online for about $325, and requires about an hour of labor to install. This seems to us to be a pretty fundamental safety issue, and this component should be engineered to last well beyond the anticipated lifetime of the vehicle.
Air conditioner stopped working and all lights on HVAC control panel went out. A small amount of smoke filled passenger compartment and temperature control knob became warm and loose. The plastic temperature control knob came off and I burned myself on the metal temperature control shaft which the knob attaches to. The metal temperature easily exceeded 300 degrees fahrenheit. Once the car was parked and cooled down I removed the HVAC control panel from the dash. The plastic is melted where the temperature control knob is and on the inside of the control panel. I removed the circuit board from the control panel and it smells like burned electronics. The circuit board has brown burn marks and bubbling on the board itself. The entire HVAC control unit will have to replaced at the cost of $200-$300.
