Failure of opds unit on my 2000 honda accord 4-door v-6. As an outcome of a joint action lawsuit honda agreed to extend the opds warranty to 10 years from the delivery date of the vehicle or 156,000 miles. My opds unit has failed just 3 months after the 10 year extension. This is the 2nd sds system failure as the seat belt sensor has failed in the past. Honda now covers the seat belt failure on the many accord models for lifetime as the failure is common. Failure of sds airbag system on honda accords and other honda vehicle models is an on-going chronic problem that renders the entire airbag system inactive upon any component failure. This is a serious safety hazard to owners and due to the high cost to repair the sds system many owners cannot afford to make the sds airbag system operative again. Honda must step up to insuring that lifetime warranties on the sds systems are in place for all owners as an sds failure may result in injury or death for the vehicle owners. Way too many sds system failures have been documented by honda dealers and owners. Who knows just how many "red lights" are actually on the dashboards of honda accords out there that simply don't get fixed due to the high cost of repair?

I have a honda accord 2000 ex with 132000 miles. 1. The dashboard light does not work so I cannot see the equipment reading 2. The SRS light on and stays on after the jump start the car. I check the online there are so many of the honda accord that have the same problem and this should be the safety issue. Honda should take care of them.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). Subject: honda accord - mileage/speedometer is not working properly dear sir, I have a honda accord 200 and its speedometer is not working properly. Compare with diff GPS, highway milestones etc. The speedometer is not correct. I have asked and compare with other honda owners and they have noticed the same problem. I took/complain to car dealer and they have noticed the problem as well, but they cannot fix it, its a manufacturing defect. While compare with GPS speed and speedometer on car, car's speedometer is running faster by 5 MPH more. I understand from an internal source, that it's a hondas dirty practice to convince customer that honda provides better mileage efficiency while comparing other cars. Can you look in to it, please?[xxx]

After I removed my key from the ignition and was getting out, I noticed that the car started to roll. I then realized that the transmission was still in drive. I checked for recalls on this vehicle and found recall fitting this description and for my make model and year. The federal safety agency action number: pe05002. This problem is repeatable. I called honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009 and was told that my VIN was not included in this recall.. We took the car to my local honda dealer, who confirmed the problem and also told me that the recall did not match my VIN. Dealership is ed napleton honda 636‑928‑1155. Invoice # 227162. Estimate $596.00 plus taxes. We purchased this car new on august 16, 1999 and this is an early 2000 honda accord. We feel that this car should be included in this recall program. Please advise. Thanks.
I can switch my ignition off and remove the key without putting the shift lever in the "park" position.
Dash light on instrument panel comes and goes darkening the entire dashboard while driving at night. Vehicle was stopped at night by police on dark highway along coastline road due to driving too slow creating a traffic hazard for others. Driver could not see panel to gauge speed.
I have a 2000 honda accord ex 4-door with 4 cylinder engine, automatic transmission. When the car is started and the and shifted into drive, you can then remove the key from the ignition. This indicates a failure of the ignition switched interlock function. I called honda and was informed that my car had no recall notices for it's v.I.n. Number. I am aware that their was a recall for this same problem ref:the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v025000 & the federal safety agency action number: pe05002 . Honda should remedy this problem since it could result in a possible crash of the vehicle and since their was a past history of this defect. *tr thanks dale clapper
The coil packs have caused misfirings. The car runs rough as if it is going to stall. The engine light continues to blink.
The issue at hand involves a 2000 honda accord (coupe); I am able to turn the car off and remove the key from the ignition without putting the car into park. I am not sure of when this issue began. However, in mid-2008, I mistakenly left the car in drive and removed the key when parking my car in a parking lot, I left the parking lot and my car proceeded to roll backward and struck another vehicle at some point. This happened again this month. After this point, I researched recall information and saw that in 2005, the federal safety agency issued campaign 05v025000. I took my car into a dealer to have the issue investigated. My vehicle did indeed have the same issue (malfunctioning interlock) as the one in the recall, but my VIN was not a part of that recall. It seems odd to me that though my car falls into the date range, make and model of this recall and possesses the same issue described in the recall. I am not convinced that this is a coincidence. I am in danger of losing coverage as a result of this malfunction.
Dash lights go out; there's a recall on the lx model and the ex model has the same problem. It is extremely dangerous to drive without dash lights. Honda refuses to acknowldge problem. Others have reported the same problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that the key could be removed from the ignition without the vehicle being placed into park.

The failure and current mileages were less than 170,000.
In may of 2008 my 2000 honda accord lost power while driving and would not restart. All of the gas ran out from the front of the car. The computer board had gone out. The computer board was replaced by another mechanic and then was towed to the honda dealership to be reprogrammed. Since then it has gone back and was diagnosed with misfires. The coil packs , plugs and wires, fuel injectors, egr valve all have been replaced. The car is still spitting and sputtering like it is running on 4 cylinders and it is a v6. I have researched and there seems to be alot of these problems. Also the SRS light stays on and you can turn the car off and remove the key without the car being in park. I never received any kind of recall from the dealerships on this recall. This car was bought new in 2000.
Srs light lights up along with the side airbag light.

There are 2 recalls on my year, make & model that I am experiencing. However, honda claims my VIN is not included in the recall. I find it very odd that I could be experiencing both of the recalls, but my car is excluded. I also have seen several complaints all over the internet about the clearcoat on '98-'02 honda's peeling. Honda is not accepting responsibility for the defective clearcoat.
Two years ago my dash lights would just suddenly go out and then come back on, my SRS light stayed on as well. When I took it to the dealership they reset my SRS light but told me nothing was wrong.

Took it back to the dealer and they told me I need a new drivers side multiplex unit and that nothing is wrong with my SRS. I have a 2000 2dr v6 ex.

Srs light has been on for over a year. The dealer said it would be very expensive to have it "looked at." recently, the o2 sensor came on and I've made 3 trips to have it fixed. It will cost me 420.20 to have the problem solved. I've been reading about recalls for this very problem, and as a senior, I'd sure appreciate some help. This doesn't seem fair.
Key can be removed while the gear indicator is in "d". If the car is parked on an incline, it can begin to roll once the brake is disengaged. There is a recall for the same year and model with this specific defect, but my accord's VIN "does not qualify" for the recall. Dealership offered to replace mechanism at my expense.
