The first failure was in 2003. While I was driving on the highway my transmission went out completely in traffic. I was able to get off the street before the car completely stopped. The repair was done in 2003 during a national recall. The car started showing signs of slipping in 2009 . I contacted honda about the replacement transmission and they said it was out of warranty. The transmission completely failed in march, 2010. I was traveling at 55 MPH when the car started to lose power. This is the second incident with this car where the transmission went out while I was driving this car.

I currently own a 2000 honda accord ex v4. While driving my son to school last week friday, the check engine light came on and the d4 light also began to blink. My car immediately lost all power and while pressing on the accelerator the car would not move. With other cars behind me this could have easily caused a huge accident with my son in the car. After taking my car to the repair shop, I was told that my transmission needed to be rebuilt and this could cost up to $3000. I went to another shop for a second opinion and they changed the solenoids. After a week of driving fine, the same incident occurred again while bringing my son to school. Currently the car is back in the shop to have the torque converter changed or to possibly have the transmission rebuilt. While searching online, I have noticed that this is an ongoing problem with early 2000 honda accords and all that has been done is an extension on this warranty which does me no good since I am past it. Anything done to rectify this problem would be a big help especially considering that it would have been a huge safety issue had I been driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour in moving traffic.

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.

I drive a 2000 accord coupe lx 4 cyc. And some time my car would just lose power and die. Once my car loose power I can no longer have control of the car. Several times during a turn and with traffic behind me. Lucky I was able to pull over to the side before any accident occurred. I took the car to the dealership many times, but each time they said nothing was wrong and there are no recalls on 2000 but only 98-99 accords. They said that they will be more then happy to look into the issue but at my expensive. I was outraged that nothing is being done to fix this issue. I think this is a serious problem that honda needs to fix before I myself and/or others get seriously injured. I have expressed my concerns to many dealerships but none of them are willing to find a fix.
