2000 Honda Accord LX from North America - Comments

"The electrical problems have convinced us this car is not worth the price they charge"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The tires wore out at 15,000 miles.

The Safety Restraint System (SRS) light came on at 45,000 miles. The dealer ran diagnostics and indicted there was a low voltage problem, but they didn't know what it was. Light went off for a while, but came back on. Our mechanic troubleshoot and said the alternator was bad. Replaced that.

SRS light still on at 52,000 miles. Dealer indicates that now the airbag control computer has gone out.

Also, light behind the dash clock goes out, but if you hit the dash above the clock the light will work for a while.

General comments?

The car performs well and gets great gas mileage at 85 mph.

The seats are not comfortable for trips over 100 miles.

The ongoing problem with the SRS light is frustrating, especially since Honda has such a good reputation, more frustrating is dealer's attitude of just pay up to fix these things.

I have a 2000 Honda Accord V6 L.X. This car has the same problem with S.R.S. light, clock light, and low voltage. Worst of all, the power (electrical) now fades quickly (with no voltmeter or warning light) and then the car cannot run until I replace or recharge the battery. I am recharging a marine battery every night just to keep the car running a few miles per day, until it can be repaired. The S.R.S. light problems began on my car at 3,000 miles. The dealer repairs on it did not last. The electrical fading began at 37,000 miles. I advised both the Honda dealer and Honda customer service about these problems. Honda's customer service rep. took my VIN and told me he was making notes about my car's problems in their database and that I should take it to the dealer for non-warranty service. The dealership rep. advised they would check it out for $89.00 per hour labor (plus parts and materials). Thank you Honda!
