2000 Honda Accord SE review from North America
"Buy every warranty possible, you never know if Honda screwed up when building it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
