2000 Honda Accord LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
