2000 Honda Accord Coupe review from North America

Driver's side rear wheel bearing.

Arm rest, center console lid break.

SRS light constantly comes on!

Poor traction on wet pavement!

The rear wheel bearing went after about 50k kilometers. Though it was covered under warranty it took several trips to the dealer to finally get my car back in reasonable condition.

The arm/console rests are a cosmetic problem, but a problem none the less. They were first replaced at 25k kilometers and have subsequently broke since. Unfortunately I'm off warranty & the dealer won't look after the problem. Considering I purchased brand new, right off the truck it seems like an issue when this is the 3rd arm rest I require.

The SRS light comes on within the first week after I have my car in for service. The unit has been replaced once & it still seems to happen? I've asked for service on several occasions to no avail. This continues to be a problem.

Last, but certainly not least is the fact that I receive little or no traction during wet weather. I have all seasons & the first rain I drove in I noticed the problem. I know that there are better tires for certain conditions, but the fact that we drop $30 grand on a vehicle & we have to replace tires doesn't impress me.

The dealer seems less than thrilled when I bring my car in for service. They've canceled appointments without calling, not completed the full service request (like when they didn't change the oil on a routine inspection), just general poor service.

I heard nothing, but great things about purchasing an import vehicle, but up to this point I'm not impressed! I love the car, but the little problems along with a dealership that is less than professional hurts my overall rating of the product.
