Within the 1st month of the vehicle being purchased a refurbished transmission was replaced on the vehicle. The SRS light came on. *tc the consumer contacted the manufacturer about the problem and they indicated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls due to VIN.
Complaint received via e-mail." am the original owner of a 2000 honda accord se. In 9-25-03 I took the car to the dealership because I was able to remove my key from the ignition without the car in park. Was told the switch inside the center console failed because soda was spilled. I would have to pay to replace it. I asked if it was a safety issue, and was told not to worry about it. If I wanted it fixed it would cost me about $200.00, and the part had to be ordered. Took car home, inspected under the console, and found no evidence of soda or any other substance. On 6-12-04 the car seemed to be having poor acceleration home at 4 pm, and at 1130 pm police notified me that my car was found in neighbor's yard, had ran into the corner of the home, causing $3000 damage to home and $800.00 to front of car. On july 13 2004 check engine light came on. Car had smoke coming from underneath, as well as transmission fluid leaking. Had to have car towed to dealership. Requested they check the ignition issue. Also, next day I received a call, stating that transmission had to be replaced. I asked about the ignition issue, and was told that they forgot to look at it. I insisted it be looked at,and told them what happened the last time at another dealership. I was aware of a recall on the 1999 model, and that other people with same make & model had a similar problem.
This is the 2nd time in 6 months that I have had to have my transmission replaced in my 2000 honda accord se. There is 83,000 miles on it this time and approximately 60,000 miles on it the first time.
The car began to jerk suddenly and without warning. It would "choke" when the accelerator was pressed or when car was in gear shift change. The car would jerk a significant distance, almost to the point where it could have hit another car. It stalled often, especially after being at a traffic light waiting for it to change. I immediately took the car in for a diagnosis and was told that it was a transmission defect and the entire transmission would have to be replaced. I then called the american honda service contract corporation to see what steps needed to take place in order to repair the problem. I contacted a local honda dealership to set up repair. I am currently in wait on their decision as to whether or not they will repair it. I have full coverage under my extended warranty.
The vehicle's has had multiple transmission failures. *nm the vehicles engine revved etween 4000 to 5000 RPM before the consumer noticed the vehicle was not moving forward. Once the transmission slipped into gear the consumer was whip-lashed and body slammed into my seat belt. The vehicle driver seat has a sudden shift movement while the consumer drives that occurs intermittently as vehicle rounds sharp corners and turns. In sep 2003 sent a notice about a problem with the drivers seat loosening. The key gets stuck in the ignition. The side airbag light comes on when the consumer has something on the front passenger seat cushion. The consumer hears a rattle in the dash near the coin drawer.
My transmission on my 2000 honda accord just went out. Took it to dealer and even though it falls within the perameters of the honda extended warranity, they refuse to fix it. I think these faulty transmissions should be recalled.
Plagued with check engine light issues: 1. Transmission -- caused light to come on was finally replaced afterr several resets of light. 2. Ecm -- was replaced after two incidents. *ak 3. Another round of check engine light
I have a 2000 honda accord lx sedan with a little over 75,000 miles on it. Saturday may 4th of this year on my way from mesquite to arlington my car just failed to move. Engine was running but the car wouldn't pick a gear to move on, luckily a gentleman behind me helped push the car off to the shoulder. I was stranded on the side of interstate 35 and had to request aaa come tow my car to the dealership lute riley in richardson. The dealership was closed sat by the time I got there so monday morning when I went in I had researched and discovered this was a known defect in the sixth generation accords. But I was informed at midday by my service advisor shawn that I needed to pay to have my solenoids replaced since thats what the technician reports as the problem so me being a college student and heavily reliant on my transportation especially during finals week paid for it. Sure enough couple of days later same issue where the car dies again in my school parking lot and I had it towed once again by aaa over to lute riley. This time when I went in on thursday may 6th they sang a different tune that my transmission had failed and that it was covered under an extended warranty by honda so they will replace it for free but will need to keep it for a week while they order one. Now my issue is returning the $350 plus that I spent on repairing solenoids that weren't in need of being replaced. I will be reporting this to honda's corporate hq like so many other honda owners have already done. Please do what you can to help save other people this headache and possible endangerment of life when a vehicle fails on our highways! Additionally I request that you include honda's recall\extension of warranty on all 2000-2001 accords, oddesseys, and preludes in your "safety recall" search engine (this is open information on honda's homepage but it would be nice to have it available in as many places possible).
My accord dies out on warm start ups when it is in cold weather conditions. I also called honda USA and they told me that it was not suppose to no matter how cold it was. I brought it to honda of sf twice already, but they couldn't duplicate the problem. A few of my friends have the same problems with their accords.
Around this time period my transmission was replaced with a new transmission since it was giving me problem . The car was with dealer for 5 business days. It worked for a while and then it had some problems when in transmission shifted hard and some codes were programmed in sept'02. In dec'02 my car had a total break down and it needed to be towed to the dealer for a repair. I do not know if this problem can be fixed
When pulling out of a parking space transmission gear jumped into reverse, and then consumer hit another vehicle. Inadvertently air bags deployed. After the vehicle was inspected it was totaled. There were no injuries.
I have a 2000 honda accord vtec v6. I take good care of it, and all of a sudden all the air bag systems have shutdown indicated by the SRS light. Now I am starting to have electrical failures left and right. Majority of my warning llights on, my console which include battery, all doors, trunk, and brake light lights are on. The transmission is starting to slip. I don't know if I got a bad honda from the batch, but just being 2 years old, it is experiencing some tough problems. I also have the extened honda plan upto 100,000 miles/6 yrs.. But of course the plan does not cover any of my problems. I don't have money to waste on the car that is nearly new, and I still owe 23000 on. Please help.
After the consumer down shifted the gear, it felt as though the gear was in fourth gear. The vehicle went into reverse instead of forward. *ak *scc
Automatic transmissions problems still persist. Transmission has been replaced three times already. Each time there is a new occurrence of problems. For this latest transmission when driving in congested traffic areas where the transmission does not always go to the next gear, it will "lag" and fall back to the lower gear as if the brake was being applied very hard. Took the car to the service center and was told by the mechanic that the "transmission is shifting through all of its points normally". I indicated to them this is not the reason when I came to them. They ignored my reasons for coming to them and they then proceeded to claim that its normal for the transmission to "hang" and fall back due to "the computer getting confused as to what gear to go to". As a result its normal for the transmission to "lag" or "hang". I have never experienced this problem with the other two transmissions I had....so, this is anything but normal !!!
2000 honda accord: power train axle-wheel bearings. Both front wheel bearings had to be replaced. 70,000 miles on odometer. Car is gently driven over smooth roads. Honda contacted. Dealer not contacted.
I started to feel a little slip in the transmission when taking off from a stop sign or backing out of my drive way. I called and set up an appointment with the honda dealer. They could not get me in for three days so I took it to midas it. The man told me I had some very bad transmission problems and could not touch it. He said it was leaking fluid out the left side of the transmission and all he could do would be to fill it up with the special fluid that honda uses. So $80.00 bucks later I got some fluid in it and then called the local honda dealership to ask why my 2000 accord that I paid $25,000.00 had a bad transmission after only 72,000 miles. I was told that ,well there has been a problem with the 2000 accord auto transmissions. I am being told to bring it into the shop to be looked at for a fee of $72.00 an hour and they would try to detect the problem. And I am being told that supposedly that honda had extended the warranty to 72 months or 100,000 miles. I can only hope to god that this is true. Or I am going to have to pay at least $3,500.00 for a new transmission. Why was I not told about this problem at the time of purchase, or the time of all the different maintenance schedules I had done? I had ran my honda civic up to 240,000 miles with no transmission problems before I purchased this 2000 accord and I was going to buy a new 2003 accord next month. Although now I have lost all confidence in the car that I had thought was the very best on the market! Is this going to be under a warranty?.
When consumer shifted gears, the gear shifter lever fell apart. Please provide more details. Ts
When the car is put in reverse there's a loud bang. Dt
Car was taken to the moreno valley honda and spreen honda regarding transmission problems and we were told that the transmission was fine. My husband owns a transmission repair shop and had to tell spreen honda what was wrong with the transmission. I finally called honda's main office and it took them about a week to remedy the problem. Home office contacted the dealer and requested the transmission be replaced. Spreen honda had the car for several weeks and did not offer rental car or reimbursement. Terrible customer service all around. My husband could have fixed the problem but the car was about 2 years old and under warranty when the problems started to occur. The brakes are constantly squeeking even after replacement. The material on the rear interior door handles has melted. Passenger seat belts are extremely tight. This 2000 honda accord se has been a total disappointment. Dt
Automatic transmissions failed at low mileage. Owner has to replace it at the dealership. Great safety concerns here as it can fail at high speed. Dt
Consumer states that he has problems with his transmission. Please add more details. Mr
Car was placed in park. Motor suddenly revved with loud clanking sound and vehicle shot forward and hit tree. After collision, transmission shifted into reverse.
Heard a grinding noise from the front of the car. Upon investigation at the dealership, they said it needs a new transmission. I have lost faith in the quality of honda. I am going get the new transmission put in tomorrow. I will post about that experience later (I hope it is good). However, because my warranty is going to run out in less than 3000 miles, I need an extended power train warranty from honda. If honda does not come around, I will trade this carr and never buy another honda in my life and I will never recommend it to anyone I do not consider as my enemy.
When in reverse car makes a loud "clunk" feels as though car ran over something. Dealer was contacted 3 times - states they do not hear anything. First time they said this was "normal". Srs light has also been repaired 2 and is currently malfunctioning.
Two separate transmission failures at 30,000 miles of wear while driving within 35-55 MPH. Dealer contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.
The problem I have is the transmission leak(bleeding oil) this problem happens twice @ 22500 mi & 39929 mi. The first time happened the dealer added dye and told me to drive it for a week and bring ther car back for check up. They told me that the pressure hose is loose so they tightened it back that was find with me. But then @39929mi it happen again and I took it back to them at the dealer in diamond bar they told me that there is no leak because the oil fliud is at the full level. But when I asked him why is that there are lots of dirt build up around the transmission and it is still wet(oil mix with dirt). They could not give me an answer but just told me to drive the car back and wait to see if it still leak. This is so unprofessional. And all along I do feel that the transmission is not shifting as smooth as before. I know that there are a lot of hondas owners that have transmmision problems as well. I hope that this could be resolve. Please let me know thanks.
Unreasonable failure of transmission occurred to 2 year old vehilcle with 38,000 miles. Honda would only pay for part replacement, not for associated labor and rental car.
Consumer stated the drivers seatbelt would no longer lock into place, the dealer replaced the latch.
