Just purchased a 2000 accord on sat 8-22-15. Body looks great,runs shifts great,but when attempting oil change I realized passenger side front subframe is completely gone. Yes,gone. It's missing @4 inches of metal which has obviously rusted away,with surrounding metal rusted. Driver side looks perfect. Same part,two different places,acting completely different.
2000 Honda Accord transmission complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 201, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While the vehicle was parked overnight, it rolled into a neighbor's yard. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the ignition was not in the off position and it was a recurring failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
After having the vehicle in "reverse" to get into a stall parking space on the street, it was shifted into "drive". While being in "drive" and tapping on the gas pedal, the vehicle went in "reverse" uncontrollably. The brakes did not respond. In an attempt to avoid reversing into a wall, the vehicle turned and crashed into a parked vehicle. The impact potentially injured a women that was standing behind the impacted vehicle talking with someone.
2nd gear will not engage.
At less than 70,000 miles the transmission on my 2000 honda accord ex is failing, even though the car has barley been driven. I started to experience delayed gear engagement, both on up shifts and downshifts as well as transmission fluid leakage which was initially diagnosed as a bad left side axle seal. When the mechanic proceeded to fix the axle seal, he then re diagnosed the problem as bad bearings and a faulty transmission, a very common problem with the 2000 & 2001 accords. Since then I have taken the car to several other mechanics and transmission specialists for a second opinion, who have reached the very same conclusion/diagnosis. A vast majority of the transmissions on the 2000 and 2001 accords have failed or are having problems. The scary part is all the transmission shops are familiar with this issue, some of them see an accord or an odyssey (similar problem) once a week! From my personal experience/investigation the common consensus is; the honda transmissions from the late 90's were bulletproof because they were specifically built for the cars from the 90's. However, when honda upgraded the size of their engines and power, honda used the same 90's transmissions, which in the long run could no longer handle the larger engine capacity or the extra power and eventually fail. In 2006 honda was hit with a class-action lawsuit for the faulty transmissions. Honda settled the matter out of court by extending the transmission warranty to 93 months or 109,000 miles. However, honda never corrected the problem by redesigning the transmissions or provided a fix. Instead, honda simply replaced the old faulty transmissions with new transmissions that still had the same faulty design. Now, all the transmission in those cars are failing as well and honda denies any responsibility, claiming the transmissions are out of warranty.

The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 200,000. Mailed out 02/24/15
While driving, transmission randomly slipped to neutral and would not go back to driving. White SUV behind me ended up small colliding with my back bumper.
Vehicle was being driven on the highway when attempting to go up a hill the car lost power past 3 and 4 gear. Would pull car over let it cool of and continue a few more miles down the road for it to do the same thing. Car is now parked in my driveway unable to be drove.
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.
Transmission failed despite the car having the factory recommended service for the transmission being performed at 60k. At the time the car was making a left through an intersection. Upon investigating it was found the car was part of a class action due to transmission failure, but I was not eligible since the car was out of the extended warranty period.
Check engine light kept coming on and wouldn't go off. Car was struggling to automatically shift into gear. When it got really hot, car would not start up right away. Would take several times of having one foot on brake and one foot on gas to get it to start again.transmission is acting like it is slipping. Just bought this used car last year. Local honda dealership, don wessel, of springfield, missouri acted like everything was fine with the car when we bought it. Took it in there they got the check engine light to go off but then it came back on a few days later. Tried to get them to fix it but they wouldn't. Took it to another place they, hooked it up to the computer and said that all cylinders were misfiring, and that there was a problem with transmission. Trying to find a place to fix the transmission. We think dealership should fix it since we bought it there and they did not think anything was wrong even after we brought it back and told them that check engine light was still on and car is still acting up.

It is possible to turn the ignition key to the off position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.
On may 29, 2014 our daughter was driving our car and had just dropped a friend off at the bus station, after the friend got out of the car, she pulls off and goes around a corner and the car accelerates and jumps a curb, uproots a tree, hits a parked car, which crashes into another parked car. Our car was totaled. I think the other car was totaled and the other car had moderate damage. Our daughter had a gash in her arm and a lot of bumps and bruises. My daughter is scared to death to drive. I would like to see honda fix this problem, this is not the first incident, nor will it be the last.

I was driving my honda accord on a residential street, when the transmission started to shift erratically. The d4 light started to flash and the 'check engine' light came on. The honda dealership that serviced the vehicle told me that the transmission had failed. This from a car that I had purchased six weeks earlier. Luckily the incident happened on a vacant road and not a highway on-ramp where smooth shifting is a life or death scenario.
Transmission has begun slipping, jerking badly. When coming to a full stop, noticeable jerk of transmission. When starting from full stop, significant drag, then thump as transmission engages.

Experiencing transmission problem which honda is refusing to repair/replace. Honda is aware of this problem and has extended the warranty to 7 year 7 months or 109k miles but my car happens to fail just outside of the warranty. The on time scheduled maintenance and proper treatment is probably to blame. Consider this as my formal complaint against honda for not standing behind their product and inadequate customer service.

2000 honda accord. Consumer states p0740 code keeps coming on and transmission hesitation
Car will not shift out of park without holding down key in emergency interlock near shifter. Interlock solenoid went bad.
Transmission was starting to jerk forward and balking when starting from a start. Transmission started to over heat. My son said that the car seamed to just give out on highway and scared him as it caused a strange feeling of something terrible wrong. Now when transmission is put into reverse a very startling noise like a loud bang is happening. Now I am afraid to let my son because of safety reasons use it. I am on a fixed income and I always take care of this car, but this is just going to break me to try to get fixed. I have read so many complaints since I started to investigate this problem that I just can't believe that honda and the federal safety agency has not remedied this dangerous and expensive problem. I had the same problem with toyota on rusting frame rails that almost killed me and my daughter. I had to try to sell my tacoma truck at more than half its resale value, because toyota just like honda just wont admit or fix this serious problem. By the time the federal safety agency did get toyota to do something about the unsafe frame rust most of us owners had already had to try to get what ever money we could try to get. It was horrible to lose all that money and try to get another vehicle. Now honda is playing with the federal safety agency and it is starting all over again for a lot of us honda owners.what more can us owners do to get our fair share. I know I filed a complaint against toyota and now honda. I hope nhsta does something fast because as of now I have no car to use. Lets right this now. I know that a lot of hard working people deserve better than what honda is even thinking of doing or not doing to right this problem.
