2000 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"1991 was Gold- 2000 is a big piece of Stress"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is my second Accord. My first was flawless. 1991 Accord. 125,000-miles with out one problem.
I have had nothing but problems with this 2000 since new.
Door Hinge 2-door Front Drivers- Bad at new.
A/C switch on dash-1-year or so old.
Coolant leak 2-years-Radiator cracked.
Transmission was worked on right before the basic warranty was up. Not sure what they fixed, but the car would go into D super hard at times. They did not have to remove the transmission, but it still took them 2-weeks with no loaner car provided.
The car now has a growl sound from the front and no one can find the problem. Not wheel bearing or tires. Noise is from driver's side and has a direct relationship with the speed of the car.
General comments?
This car has got me down and I don't know what to do. I really fell in love with Honda and thought that I have solved all my car needs with Honda.
I'm going to sell the car, I have got my mom's car-she has died, but I have to get the growl sound fixed first or no one will buy it. I don't know what to do.
Also it cost so much for a new air-filter and fuel filter and brakes. These parts must be laced with Gold.
I just don't know where to turn.
