2000 Honda Accord EX 4-cylinder

Summary:

I love my Honda

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with this car. It has performed beautifully and trouble-free the three years that I have had it.

General Comments:

I was so shocked to see all of the disparaging remarks about the 2000 Honda Accord. This is my second Accord and I can't foresee not buying another Honda when the times comes.

I service it regularly at a Honda/Acura only repair shop which uses only Honda parts.

So far, she's still running like a little champ.

I agree!

I also read very bad reports on the type vehicles my wife & I own, but our experiences have been very positive.

Very few issues at all, excellent dealer service, and we are extremely satisfied with our vehicles.

Reading some of the reviews would lead you to believe that they were all lemons - but this is not the case.

I suspect that many of the problems I read about could be prevented by maintaining a vehicle properly and by not abusing it.

2000 Honda Accord SE 2.2 VTEC

Summary:

Buy every warranty possible, you never know if Honda screwed up when building it

Faults:

Needed new seals.

Needed new axles.

Transmission has died. Needs replacement. Honda has known that they installed a faulty transmission, however they did not offer a recall. Now I am stuck paying $3000 for a new one.

General Comments:

I bought a Honda believing that the company was reputable and that 'Honda's can go 200,000 miles' without any issues. I feel that Honda has made buying a car from them like playing the lottery, if your lucky you'll get one that they didn't screw up, if not, too bad they won't fix their mistakes. It's a shame Honda can't take responsibility for their actions. They have the ability to make a great car, they just need to follow through when they screw up.

2000 Honda Accord LX

Faults:

There is a loud banging when the car is put into reverse. Then I found out about transmission recall for 50K miles or five years. Took it into Honda dealership - they couldn't hear anything however, all my passengers ask "What's that noise?!!!"

Dealer not very nice about it - so I called National Honda. They said I'd have to pay a costly diagnostic fee to find out and directed my case to different Honda dealer instead of my local one.???

Have since re-read recall notice Honda posted on line, and the conditions of the recall were changed from the original form. Now loud noises are okay???

Took the car to my local mechanic-paid $2400 for overhaul of transmission -- since forward gears were starting to slip, also. He fixed the forward gear problem - but still bangs in reverse.

Have been reading about extensive problems in other areas that can't seem to get fixed or resolved. I'm getting rid of mine now and won't buy a Honda again. This was my second one.

Must have been something you did to your car, because it is usually the V6 that has that trouble.

Interestingly enough, I have an I-4 and a V6 edition of your car, and have only had problems with the alternator needing replacement on the V6 and the EGR valve on both cars. Other than that, they are both running great and on their original transmission.

My I-4 has 120k and my V6 has 170k. It is all in the maintenance. I will admit I have had to replace the headlight bulbs, but Honda said nothing of a recall. They only burn out once a year and are very cheap to fix.

I am now having troubles with my Accord SE. After babying her for 7 years she is showing signs of old age. The transmission is going up, lights are going out and I was unaware of the recalls or I would have traded her in years ago. I agree... bad car, not worth the headaches which is a shame because I got 280,000 miles out of my '92 accord.
