2000 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Good car, but could definitely be improved in some areas"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission had to be replaced. Honda was kind enough to supply the transmission due to an extended warranty (though the car was 5000 miles over), but I was responsible for labor ($800).
Check Engine light continuously comes on. The EGR valve has been replaced and the port has been cleaned twice. Check Engine light comes on within hours of being reset.
SRS light now on. Have read and been told it may be a defective sensor, but no recall has been issued. Not sure how I "broke" an internal sensor for my air bag. Not sure that's even possible.
Gas pedal sticks when first started and driven.
Moonroof will vent, but no longer slides back ALL the way. Only cosmetic and not worth paying to have repaired.
General comments?
This is a great car. There have been some issues, but all-in-all it's not bad. Great speed for a 4-cylinder car.
Not a good car for families, but definitely has trunk space to spare.
