Car is shifting late or erratically. I believe it is the transmission. I have not gotten it fixed or repaired.
2000 Honda Accord transmission complaints
Page 4 of 8: complaints 71 to 100 of 201, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Transmission slips between 1st. And 2nd. Gears. Occurs often enough that it is causing check engine light to come on and stay on. Not repaired as of yet due to excess cost involved.
I have a 2000 honda accord ex that allows you to turn the car off and remove the key when it is not in park. I know a recent recall has been issued for 2003 and/or later hondas with this problem. I believe that the 2000 hondas should be included in this recall.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. After turning the vehicle off, the contact removed the key from the ignition and noticed that the vehicle was not shifted into the park gear. The failure was not diagnosed by a dealer or local mechanic. There were no prior warnings. The failure mileage was 117000 and the current mileage was 120000.
The third transmission has failed on my honda accord. Honda replaced the first 2 with only a $200 charge on the second one. The failure mode is such that the car slips into a neutral like state without warning. This is very dangerous. Think about turning left, crossing oncoming traffic and you step on the gas, the car starts to move and goes into neutral. You are stuck in the oncoming traffic lane.
In 2005 with 140k miles the tranny went out on my 2000 honda accord ex. I replaced it with a rebuilt tranny at a cost of $2000.00. Now the rebuilt has died after only 75k additional miles. The cost to replace is $2500.00.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While the contact was driving approximately 35 MPH the accelerator pedal was depressed with a delay response. The rpms also began to increase.

A complaint was filed with the manufacturer in regards to the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 106,000.
2000 honda accord lx sedan, current mileage 165k miles. Transmission final drive unit a lot of play in the carrier bearings. The original transmission was replaced under the "transmission warranty extension campaign" on 09/01/2005 at 90k miles. August of 2009, 155k miles, took car into honda dealer for service and to isolate scrapping noise, dealer unable to determine source. On feb 18, 2010 took car back to honda dealer and noise was isolated to 'transmission final drive, alot of play in carrier bearings'. Remedy according to service manager is to replace transmission at a cost of $2700 + tax. Opened case number with honda corp on 02/18/10 asking assistance in cost of replacing transmission. Honda representative denied assistance on 02/24/10. The car has been maintained by honda dealer and is in good mechanical shape other than transmission. I feel the replacement transmission is as defective as the one they replaced. I will be replacing transmission either at my cost or dealers cost.

2000 honda accord r gear shift handle (knob) became detached from pole when trying to move the gear from park.
2000 honda accord sedan with approximately 109000 miles (10900 miles per year) experienced transmission failure on highway at 65 MPH caused sudden deacceleration. At that high speed, if failure continued a serious accident could occur. Fortunately, the transmission became operable again. 15 minutes later in heavy city traffic the transmission would not shift in lower gears making a tow necessary. Currently, the vehicle is at a service garage awaiting evaluation.
I have honda accord 2000se, 125,000 mileage, hardshift- 1st to second gear, honda says it needs new transmission. $2600 to replace it. Are there any help from honda about this, they extended warranty for this problem to 100000miles, but from what I've seen online re: this problem- it always happen after 100,000. Is there anyway you can help honda owners about this problem? My car is well maintained and so im expecting my car to last longer. Please help us. Thanks so much.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving, the vehicle would jerk and leak transmission fluid. She noticed that there was a delay every time she would accelerate.

I have a 2000 honda accord se - 4 cylinder. Sometimes when I take my car from park to reverse, I get a thud sound. I didn't think anything about it. At around 120,000 miles, when I put my car in reverse, the car won't move. When I step on the gas to try to get the car to move in reverse, the engine revs, but the car still won't move. I put the car back to park and then put in into reverse and it will be fine. If I am parked on a slanted surface where the front end of my car is sitting lower then the back and I try to put my car into reverse, the car rolls forward, but not reverse. One time I had to put my car into park, then reverse, park then reverse about 20 times to get out of the parking space. Because my car is over the warranty period, my local honda dealer won't do anything about it. My husband seems to think that my transmission is slipping and someday I am going to be stuck. We don't have the $2000 to $4000 to have a new transmission put in. I thought hondas were a long lasting car? I bought my car brand new and hoped to get my years out of it before I had to put major money into it. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have 2000 honda accord lx. On highway where there was only one lane and I had to over take a slow moving vehicle by moving to incoming traffic lane. Suddenly my car was not accelerating I had to immediately slam the breaks and move back to my lane to avoid the accident. Later I found that it was a transmission failure in my car. It seems to be known problem with honda accord and most of the people are getting it in 70k -100k miles range. It is causing safety hazard and these should be recall or fixed by honda. My honda has only 80k miles on it.
It does not shift from 1-2 gear smoothly. It goes into high RPM (5000) and then jumps to second. The jerks are very noticeable when its shifts gears.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 40 MPH, the engine light illuminated and the vehicle lurched backwards. The contact continued to drive and the vehicle went into reverse on its own. She slammed on her brakes and the vehicle failed. The dealer stated that it was ok to still drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the transmission failed. The repair would cost $3,800. The manufacturer stated that the failure was very unpredictable, but honda was aware of the issue.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 5 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and then accelerated when shifted from first to second gear. When pulling out of a driveway, the vehicle stopped after 10-20 seconds. The vehicle was inspected and the mechanic stated that the driver's side axle shield failed. The mechanic stated that there was a 50/50 chance that the repair would correct the failure or a new transmission would be needed. The vehicle has had two transmission repairs, but the second transmission began displaying the same symptoms as the first one. The contact will need a new transmission. The check engine light illuminated during the first failure. The dealer stated that there was class action suit in 2006 that was settled. They also stated that the transmission failure would be repaired under warranty. However, the dealer is currently being uncooperative and will not assist. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 161,000.
I have 2000 honda accord; odometer: 84,196. The car is exhibiting the exact same transmission problem for which honda had extended their warranty coverage for 93 months/109,000 miles.. The transmission problem usually happens because of driving the car for long.. Since I drive less, I did not hit this problem until now, but my car is now more than 93 months old.. Honda is refusing to fix this issue.. This is a safety hazard (the car stalls abruptly in highway) but honda is not willing to fix.. I replaced the solenoids but no improvement. The repair facility told me that the transmission needs to be replaced.

Honda accord 2000 automatic transmission.
Honda had supposedly under a hidden warranty swapped out the automatic transmission in my car. After driving the car about the same amount of time before the transmission failed the first time,identical problem has recurred. I was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden d4 on the dash starts blinking and I could only drive to 3rd gear. When I turn the car off and restart its ok until I drive for a few minutes. Randomly the car will rev but the car won't go forward until it jerks violently and catches gear. Numerous occasions I was almost rear ended. I took it to the dealer but they are telling me they will not uphold the safety recall for this issue because my mileage was over. Technically after the first repair in the same amount mileage the transmission failed but they told me from the purchase of the car I am over the mileage.
My car is a honda accord 2000 4 door. I have replaced the transmission twice in this car. The first transmission was replaced in 2006 the second was april 2009. I had only driven 50,000 miles before I needed the second transmission. The transmission should have lasted more than 50000 miles. Both times the transmission was done at a dealership with honda parts.
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.
2000 honda accord automatic transmission failure. Necessary to replace transmission with no help from honda.
My 2000 honda accords transmission failed at 93,000 miles. A class action lawsuit (case no. Rg 03099677) was won in california in 2006 extending the warranty of the 2000-2001 accords transmission warranty to 93 months/ 109,000 miles. Honda dealer diagnosed need for transmission replacement (approx $2800) due to transmission slipping between 1st and 2nd gear and when car stopping, jumping and stuttering. Car is in excellent condition and serviced regularly. I contacted honda of america corporate about a goodwill gesture due to car being under in miles of warranty, but over in months based on date of car purchase. Was informed by case manager (case no.n012009-01-2200226) that warranty is "up" in car and they would not help in repair.
