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.

When car is driven during hot days and you turn the car off, it will not start again tell the car cools off. This happens during the summer months.now that the car is older, it will not start at all during some of the hot days. This include when I start the car for first time that day. Took the car in once years ago and they said they fixed it but I keep having the same problem. They wanted to charge me more money to try to fix it again. Front passage headlights always been foggy. Car also never hugged the road right. Dealership could never find the problem.

I recently purchased a set of 2000 honda accord 1 piece projector headlights from 4caroption.com. Few days after I installed the headlights I got pulled over by a police officer and was asked to put back my original headlights because I am required by law to have an amber reflector on my headlights. 4caroption.com never advised me about the headlights' design is against the law. I called 4caroption to ask for a full refund, but they told me they would only give me half of the payment back since I installed the headlights already. Nm

The SRS airbag light came on at approximately 69,000 mi.the car was taken to dealer and no fault codes were found on the computer. I had the delphi alternator load tested and determined that could be the culprit. During this time, I also had both of my headlamps burned out within weeks of each other. I replaced the alternator with an aftermarket one and have not had any problems since.

Delphi alternator failed. First noticed due to noise coming from alternator. With no dash warning lights on, voltage measured as low as ~8 volts, and engine then stalled completely when high beam lights were switched on. Confirmed wiring good, removed discharged battery, recharged battery, battery condition load-tested good, and warning light finally came on only after running engine at idle and then ~3000rpm for ~5 minutes. Voltage monitoring confirmed only battery voltage had been present long before warning light came on. Alternator should not have failed this soon, but not having an immediate warning indication that charging system has failed is a very unsafe condition. (luckily the car stalled in my garage, not minutes before in middle of traffic.

The alternator went out on the car with approximately 55,000 miles which is way too soon. The check engine light came on a couple of weeks later and had to replace the egr valve (covered under warranty). The right headlamp has been replaced at least 5 times since owning the car. It has been checked for an electrical short and nothing could be found. The factory-installed cd player failed at approximately 37,000 miles. I have always heard good things about the honda, but I have not been too pleased with all the little nitpicking stuff. The original tires were replaced at the approximately 50000 mile mark. The new tires were dunlaps which failed within 8 months. Hopefully the new ones will make it.
