Hi, don't know where else to report this information. I've called before, let it ring for up to 20 minutes, with no kind of pick up.I was going to buy the mentioned vehicle from ross auto, at 590 28th st se, 49509 . I took the car to rivertown honda in grandville, mi , kenowa sw, 49509 for inspection. Ross's claims car has 20,000 actual miles. I brought it back,quite livid with the lies. He told me to give him carfax in my hand, I said I would for the $35 fee. He freaked out,said there's something wrong with me for being upset about their lies.I told him to get the car off the lot.the following sunday,drove to ross', car still there. Price raised to $7998.called my attorney general's office >told me to call the my secretary of state.rep gave me phone number claimed 2 b a federal agency.was not.called back my sec state,on hold > than 1/2hr, told "this is federal offence" >call another #. Told>..."nothing u can do,car is> than 10 yrs old".I called fbi in grand rapids, mi. Told me it's issue 2 take up w. The my sec. Of state. See now why ross' laughing all the way 2 bank, as he's unaccountable 2 my neighbor,[xxx] ,district court judge >office about a mile from ross', in city of wyoming court building. Told me he has no jurisdiction, doesn't offer legal advice. Don't know if car is still on lot. I presume someone bought it & been ripped off royally. At closing time, multiple hispanic men drive many of the cars off the lot for some reason. I find this quite peculiar. This situation is an outrage, & I'm dumbfounded that there is no one who will take the time to stop these low lifes.so what if car is >more than ten years old? Doesn't the odometer have a serial number on it that can prove it's much less than ten years old? This is a "total loss vehicle" being sold as something quite different. Inexcusable outrageousness.

2000 Honda Accord engine complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 76, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I first noticed that when the car was idling, it didn't sound exactly right. Then about a week later we noticed that when we began to stop, the car jumped. After that when you go to take off from being stopped the car will rev up the rpms and then the motor catches up and jerks into gear. When we called and talked to a mechanic (highly known for transmissions) about it, he told us that they have been having a lot of problems with the 1998-2000 model hondas, after 100,000 miles doing this, that the transmission is going out on it, that we need to have it replaced. I was expecting to have this car for a long, long time, as honda is known for being a very reliable car.
Transmission failed but car was far past the extended warranty that existed from the 2006 class action lawsuit covering this make/model vehicle. Dealership never informed the existence of a recall.
The "balance shaft seal pop out" is known issue (defect) since day1, however, american honda motor company was trying to cover it up and my year model (2000) was intentionally not included in the original recall list in order for them to reduce the cost by risking people's life. However, if you google it, 2000 year and even later model are all over the places. Honda motor company was betting on its dealer would be supposed to put a retainer on top of the seal when the car is due on its first timing belt replacement. However, it did not happen, the net result is it costs me over $720 to fix it and I was fortunate enough the engine was not blown up (and I had not been killed) on the highway because of the empty engine oil resulted from this sudden sealed being popped out (the oil would be gone seconds after pop out happens). Worst yet, after this incident happened, I contacted with american honda motor talked with [xxx] with some japanese last name who had very bad attitude and very unprofessional, simply flattened out and told me I am sorry and we can not help in anyway. I believe it is time to do the right thing and gradually drive this very foreign motor company out of us, they do not care our lives here in us anymore.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord ex. The contact stated that the vehicle would not restart after it was turned off. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised him that the PCM and the fuel pressure regulator needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired for the fuel pressure regulator. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
I have had my transmission go out twice in my 2000 honda accord. Each time, the gears start clunking while shifting and shortly after the transmission fails and is completely useless. Currently, my car will rev up like it's in neutral and then spontaneously slam into gear and slip back into neutral again which has, again, ruined the transmission. This is a recurrent problem and nothing has been done to make the issue better.
2000 honda accord ex. Consumer states defective SRS light and airbag disabled not functioning *tgw the consumer stated his vehicle was never properly repaired. The opds sensor needs to be replaced at a cost of $500.00 the consumer was informed his vehicle was out of warranty. The check engine light illuminated due to a defective oxygen sensor.
In march of 2008, my 2000 accord se honda's transmission failed and had to be replaced at 122,206 miles; I had to pay for a rebuilt replacement transmission, today I was informed that I will need yet another transmission by honda, that my car is not safe to drive until the repair is completed, and that the three-year or 36,000-mile warranty will only extend as far as the original warranty (that is roughly another 15,000 miles or until march 2012). The current transmission only functioned for less than 21000 miles. I do not understand why there has been no recall for this model's potentially catastrophic failure of a transmission. Even though I was not in an accident, I easily could have been as I have to commute 44 miles a day to work. Clearly, if the second identical failure happened in so short a time, there is a serious flaw---one with potentially lethal consequences that needs to be investigated.
During a normal drive and then a stop at a red light, car's engine stalls. After auto shop examination, the conclusion was that the ball bearing in the engine's tensioner locked up, thus throwing the timing belt off and bending valves due to incorrect timing. A whole new engine was required to fix it because of the extensive damage. Old engine has been removed and replaced and I don't think it would be available.
I have a 2000 honda accord se. In march I had to have my engine replaced because it overheated. It was not the heads and the mechanic could not figure out what caused it after examining the car for a month. Now my transmission is going. The engine cost me $2,000 and the transmission is estimated parts and labor at $3800. They need to extend the transmission warranty from 7 years 9 months to 10 years. My car only has 88,000 mile and has been maintained well.
Consumer is inquiring about warranty issues for his 2000 honda accord. *nj the consumer stated the egr valve was replaced due to the check engine light illuminating. Also, the panel lights needed to be replaced.
Vehicle idle real low and shut off when stop. When that happen I restart engine, put it in drive and vehicle will shut off again. In order to make it stay running, I have to give it some gas while I have a foot on the brake.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact noticed that the engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument control panel. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that there was exhaust gas recirculation and clogging. The manufacturer issued technical service bulletin number 626561 (engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control:gas recirculation valve (egr valve)). The failure exceeded the constraints for the voluntary warranty extension campaign; therefore, the manufacturer would not assist with the repairs. She also noticed that the air bag warning indicator would sporadically illuminate on the instrument control panel, which indicated that the passenger side front air bag was inoperative. On one occasion, a vehicle driving approximately 80 MPH crashed into the front passenger side of the contact's vehicle. The front passenger side air bag failed to deploy. The occupant sustained moderate injuries. The manufacturer would not assist. The failure mileage was 1,000 and current mileage was 90,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. After the vehicle was started, the air bag and service engine indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and they performed a diagnostic, but found no defects. Immediately following, the contact noticed that the cooling fan would remain activated for long periods of time after the vehicle was turned off. She also stated that she could only place half a tank of gasoline in the vehicle. The vehicle would stall when it had a full tank of fuel. The vehicle was driven to the dealer a second time for a diagnostic and no defects were found. The cause of the failures have not been determined. The manufacturer has not been notified and the vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was 199,259 and failure mileage was 180,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact noticed that the SRS warning light would consistently illuminate on the instrument control panel, which indicated that the air bags were inoperative. She took the vehicle to the dealer on two occasions and they performed routine maintenance, which temporarily corrected the issue. Weeks later, the failure recurred and the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. She took her vehicle back to the dealer and they stated that she needed to replace both components at the discounted cost of $2,600. The vehicle has not been repaired. The contact sent a letter to the manufacturer, but never received a response. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 100,000 and current mileage was 122,000.
Surge on acceleration. From a cold start my car excels normally. If make a stop for a few minutes or a couple of hours get in and it accelerates to about 20-25mph and dies. If I hold the pedal it will accel after a few second, if I pump the pedal a couple of time it will accel. Cruising at 65+ I can feel a slight jerking. This all started after getting a check engine light and code po131 to replace the primary o2 sensor. A new sensor was the oem equivalent from autozone. If I disconnect the o2 sensor the problem goes away. Car is well maintained and has 228,000 miles.
Hesitation.
Car was idling at a stop light when suddenly the engine almost stopped running. Seemed like it had only 1 or 2 cylinders working. Was able to get to a parking lot, turn off engine, wouldn't restart. Towed in to shop and found gasoline filling 3 cylinders (6 cyl. Engine). Broke a connecting rod, replaced engine.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. After driving the vehicle short distances, the engine became hot and the contact attempted to restart the vehicle. The vehicle would start, shake, and then shut off. The vehicle has been taken to a dealer twice, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 02v12000 (electrical system:ignition:switch). The current mileage was 90,621 and failure mileage was 83,000. Updated 03-11-08
I bought my honda accord this september. It had a rebuilt title due to minor dents and blemishes to the outside. No major wrecks. Looked and seemed in good condition. Dealer assured me that all of his cars were insurance claims due to minor exterior wear. He didn't take any cars that had been involved in wrecks. He was an "engineer" and didn't need to screw people over for money. I had my mechanic inspect it right away because it had a 30 day return policy, no questions asked. My regular mechanic said the engine was fine but there were minor things I needed such as; new rotors, new tires, and something to do with the emergency brake. His secretary said these were all optional things to have fixed. 1 month later...the radiator goes bad and must be replaced. My regular mechanic charges me $600.00 dollars for the procedure. I compare prices and find a better price for the same radiator. Unfortunately, my regular mechanic still charges me $70.00 for his opinion. I go to the cheaper place, get a new radiator and have my rotors replaced. Since about 2 weeks after owning the car I notice that the SRS airbag light flashes on and off randomly. A $80.00 diagnostic check was performed and nothing showed up. My mechanic didn't notice it when he drove it. I still don't know if my airbags work! A month after that..transmission goes bad when in reverse. Makes a terrible grinding of metal sound and lurches when put in reverse. Probably needs a new transmission which I have no way to pay for. Luckily, it is only a problem during the cold and/or when I first start the engine. Im very worried about the safety of my car and myself! Because I've had 3 different people assure me the car is in good shape, only to find out about or have a major problem occur. I don't feel safe in my mystery car! I bought a honda after being a loyal toyota customer because I thought they had the best reputation for long lasting vehicles. I'm thinking I made a mistake. Please help lessen my worries.
I noticed when I stopped my car made an abnormal idol noise. I took my car into the local honda dealer who proceeded to inform me that the spark plug in my car was stripped and the threading coils were now completely stripped as well and the cylinder head needs replaced. The spark plug in the car is a genuine honda spark plug which if this is not caused by normal wear then it must have been poor workmanship. Honda is only willing to pay for half of the damage (total cost is $2000.75) I am stuck because I do not feel I should pay for damages that were incurred while the spark plugs were placed by honda.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 10 MPH, the vehicle lost power without warning. After waiting awhile, the vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was previously repaired in april of 2006 under recall number 05v025000 (electrical system: ignition: switch). The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 84,000. Updated 02/01/08. *lj updated 02/01/08
Driving a 2000 honda accord (4 cylinder) at approximately 25 miles per hour. Making a right hand turn. Total loss of power to automobile. Complete engine shutdown. Engine restart after second attempt but complete failure again. Check engine light and all dash instrumentation illuminated prior to second engine failure. Car towed to honda dealership. Owner informed that egr valve failed. Owner informed that it was impossible for the egr to fail while car was in motion. That simply is not true as this failure indeed happened to this vehicle while in motion. Total repair cost not provided at this time. No prior indication of egr problems prior to this incident.
The engine light went on, the code said bad egr valve, so it was cleaned out, when that didn't work, the egr valve was replaced and 8 months later the engine light came on again saying that the egr valve is malfunctioning again.
My "malfunction indicator lamp' on my 6 cylinder 2000 honda accord came on. The dealer let me know that their diagnostics pointed to a problem with cylinder #4. He had me authorize a $1000 "tear down the engine" estimate in case my extended warranty didn't cover the repair. American honda corp sent their adjuster to determine that it was excessive carbon build up in the engine which is not covered by my extended warranty. The dealer had the parts sent to a machinist to determine if there is a damaged part in the cylinder that would be covered under warranty. I have been given a $2300 approximate repair bill to pay on my own if no damage is found. Not that long ago, I spent $300 at the dealership cleaning a carbon build up problem that was causing my accelerator to stick.
Check engine lights on - making driver thinking there's something wrong with engine. Since I have a child I took my car to manchester honda, found that my gas cap was not on tight. Manchester honda charged me $163 and this is the biggest scam honda ever does this and how many people did they do this too...
The case # is n012005121900955. This is my story: I was driving north on I-5 in heavy traffic. When I slowed down to about 40 miles an hour my car just died. I was able to barely able start the car and slowly drove off the off the road less than 50 feet. I barely made it off the road. I had no clue happened. Up to that point car ran good. Fortunately I was on the far right lane. It could have been disastrous with all the traffic. I wonder if any accidents have been caused by harmonic balancer coming loose and loosing all power? Both fan belts were off. Upon further inspection by the hi way rescue team, he noticed that the harmonic balancer was not inline. I called tacoma honda the following morning and inquired about the harmonic balancer coming loose on honda engines and the service manager said he hasn't heard any problems. So I had the car towed to a mechanic friend of mine, VIN, and he repaired. Vin informed me that he worked on one who had the same thing happen about the same day on a 1999 honda with less miles. Also his friend had a harmonic balance come loose on a prelude. I don't know what year this car was made. This cannot be just a tacoma, washington problem. I asked the parts manager about harmonic balancers coming loose and he said he has heard of it. A harmonic balancer should never come loose for 2 reasons. One, it is tighten so tight that you can not loosen it with a impact wrench. Two, it turn against the direction of the thread. This is what carla told me this morning that she is not aware of any problems similar to what I experienced. I will wait for a week for any feedback from you. If your research finds no problems with harmonic balancer coming loose I would like to know. You should be able to find out how many harmonic balancers has been sold or replaced. I will write to the federal safety agency to see if this is a fluke that happened in tacoma or more widespread.
At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on. Took accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared. The mechanic said to take to honda due to recall for this part. Picked car up from mechanic and car also had SRS light on. Researched online since I already have recall for dash light. Found many other honda owners with same SRS light. Found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated. Also, called honda and they said I was beyond the mileage (80k) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement. Asked what honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made. I have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission. So when I'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy. My seat weld joint broke at 54k too! I used a 99 toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat. My accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! This car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing. Honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.
I have a 2000 honda accord lx v6 4door sedan. After the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes, the engine failed to start after it was shut off for 5-10 minutes. The first time this happened, the car was only 2 years old. Each time I try to restart the engine, the engine would turnover and run for about 2 seconds and then stalled. Each time I would have to depress the gas to get the engine going and if I release the gas, the engine would die. The engine sounds like it's running out of gas and just die. The strange part is if I can get the car in gear and drive with the gas applied for about one block, the engine would return to normal. This can be dangerous since I have to depress the gas and brake at the same time so the vehicle would stay in control. I went to the dealer and they hooked up some kind of computer to the car and they said they were unable to find any problem. The accord is a nice car but this constant engine-starting problem needs to be addressed.
Dt: the tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it is in reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealer to the dealer twice and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is the motor mounts. The first time this happened was in october of 2002. *ak dash board lighting goes blank. A faulty multiflex light unit was found. Front brakes worn. Check engine light was on. Found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced. Srs light is on. Faulty opds unit was found.
