Problems with 2000 Honda Accord POWER TRAIN

I have had my transmission go out twice in my 2000 honda accord. each time, the gears start clunking while shifting and shortly after the transmission fails and is completely useless. currently, my car will rev up like it's in neutral and then spontaneously slam into gear and slip back into neutral again which has, again, ruined the transmission. this is a recurrent problem and nothing has been done to make the issue better. *tr

I have honda v6 2000 accord and i am getting p0740 and p0730 error codes. i did change my transmission oil recently with honda atf. from what i have heard it needs new transmission. car acts very unsafe and it jerks a lot. when brakes are applied does not act immediately. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord lx 4cyl coupe which was given a new transmission at 97k miles because of a recall. it has 140k miles now and the transmission is slipping again. my honda dealership is telling me the only solution is to replace it and that it needs to be done asap. they will not pay for it this time even though this one only has $40k miles on it. they want me to pay $2200. after researching on the internet, this type of transmission problem is widespread on this model accord. *tr

After driving my 2000 honda v6 coupe for 30 minutes or more, it would have problems starting if shut off for about 20 minutes. it would start and then stall. the only way to get it started is to give it gas and shift into gear quickly which is dangerous. also there was a tsb 00-024 for this and i got it done for close to $710. this really isn't fair as i didn't do anything wrong to have this issue. it is clearly a case of a manufacturing defect. *tr

Car is shifting late or erratically. i believe it is the transmission. i have not gotten it fixed or repaired. *tr

2000 honda accord whining noise -dealer inspected -said okay to drive.within twenty miles - car stopped moving forward - manually shifted gears - worked temporarily until got car stopped in parking lot - then nothing - towed back to dealer and received diagnosis next day of transmission failure. surprised because dealer had changed transmission at 33,000 under an extended warranty due to known transmission problems. no recall per manufacturer, but offer warranty due to their concern. online reports on www.carcomplaints.com show hundreds of similar problems. this transmission only had 19,000 miles and now needs to be replaced again. this car is owned by an 84 year old woman who has owned it from the beginning. think this warrants a closer look since its pretty dangerous to have a transmission go out without warning while driving down the road. now we have to decide if this car is worth fixing if this is a repetitive defect. *tr

In march of 2008, my 2000 accord se honda's transmission failed and had to be replaced at 122,206 miles; i had to pay for a rebuilt replacement transmission, today i was informed that i will need yet another transmission by honda, that my car is not safe to drive until the repair is completed, and that the three-year or 36,000-mile warranty will only extend as far as the original warranty (that is roughly another 15,000 miles or until march 2012). the current transmission only functioned for less than 21000 miles. i do not understand why there has been no recall for this model's potentially catastrophic failure of a transmission. even though i was not in an accident, i easily could have been as i have to commute 44 miles a day to work. clearly, if the second identical failure happened in so short a time, there is a serious flaw---one with potentially lethal consequences that needs to be investigated. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord ex that allows you to turn the car off and remove the key when it is not in park. i know a recent recall has been issued for 2003 and/or later hondas with this problem. i believe that the 2000 hondas should be included in this recall. *tr

2000 honda accord. consumer writes in regards to transmission problems. *smd the consumer stated on august 5, 2010, he spent $2488.77 to have the transmission replaced. he recently began experiencing transmission problems again. it was then, he decided to do some research, and discovered there was a known issue with the automatic transmission starting with model years 2000-2003. the consumer was denied reimbursement, due to the fact the warranty had expired. honda stated they did not why the consumer was never informed of the extended warranty.*jb

I am the original owner of a 2000 honda accord and have had to replace the transmission for the 4th time. first time @ 60,000 miles, than 80,000 miles, than 140,000 miles. honda sucks... all they tell me now is it's out of warranty. obviously the 2000 accords have major transmission issues. *tr

I'd drive down the freeway or up a hill to get to a parking structure at school and the car would stall and slip gears where i thought it would roll backwards or people behind me would get annoyed and pass at relatively close and high speeds. i was on my way home from work one night when the transmission completely went out on me roughly 2 blocks away from my house. i barely could make it over 10 mph and had my car sit in the parking lot for 6 months. my brother has put in a new battery and suggested i put new transmission fluid in, but the fluid is full and the car still slips. i knew it was a transmission problem which is more complicated since i know that's a lot more pricey than what i can afford right now, and all i want is for my car to be in working order again since this car should last a lot longer since it's been taken care of. *tr

The third transmission has failed on my honda accord. honda replaced the first 2 with only a $200 charge on the second one. the failure mode is such that the car slips into a neutral like state without warning. this is very dangerous. think about turning left, crossing oncoming traffic and you step on the gas, the car starts to move and goes into neutral. you are stuck in the oncoming traffic lane. *tr

I have 2000 honda accord; odometer: 84,196. the car is exhibiting the exact same transmission problem for which honda had extended their warranty coverage for 93 months/109,000 miles.. the transmission problem usually happens because of driving the car for long.. since i drive less, i did not hit this problem until now, but my car is now more than 93 months old.. honda is refusing to fix this issue.. this is a safety hazard (the car stalls abruptly in highway) but honda is not willing to fix.. i replaced the solenoids but no improvement. the repair facility told me that the transmission needs to be replaced. *tr

Honda had supposedly under a hidden warranty swapped out the automatic transmission in my car. after driving the car about the same amount of time before the transmission failed the first time,identical problem has recurred. i was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden d4 on the dash starts blinking and i could only drive to 3rd gear. when i turn the car off and restart its ok until i drive for a few minutes. randomly the car will rev but the car won't go forward until it jerks violently and catches gear. numerous occasions i was almost rear ended. i took it to the dealer but they are telling me they will not uphold the safety recall for this issue because my mileage was over. technically after the first repair in the same amount mileage the transmission failed but they told me from the purchase of the car i am over the mileage. *tr

My car is a honda accord 2000 4 door. i have replaced the transmission twice in this car. the first transmission was replaced in 2006 the second was april 2009. i had only driven 50,000 miles before i needed the second transmission. the transmission should have lasted more than 50000 miles. both times the transmission was done at a dealership with honda parts. *tr

I currently own a 2000 honda accord ex v4. while driving my son to school last week friday, the check engine light came on and the d4 light also began to blink. my car immediately lost all power and while pressing on the accelerator the car would not move. with other cars behind me this could have easily caused a huge accident with my son in the car. after taking my car to the repair shop, i was told that my transmission needed to be rebuilt and this could cost up to $3000. i went to another shop for a second opinion and they changed the solenoids. after a week of driving fine, the same incident occurred again while bringing my son to school. currently the car is back in the shop to have the torque converter changed or to possibly have the transmission rebuilt. while searching online, i have noticed that this is an ongoing problem with early 2000 honda accords and all that has been done is an extension on this warranty which does me no good since i am past it. anything done to rectify this problem would be a big help especially considering that it would have been a huge safety issue had i been driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour in moving traffic. *tr

2000 honda accord automatic transmission failure. necessary to replace transmission with no help from honda.

My 2000 honda accords transmission failed at 93,000 miles. a class action lawsuit (case no. rg 03099677) was won in california in 2006 extending the warranty of the 2000-2001 accords transmission warranty to 93 months/ 109,000 miles. honda dealer diagnosed need for transmission replacement (approx $2800) due to transmission slipping between 1st and 2nd gear and when car stopping, jumping and stuttering. car is in excellent condition and serviced regularly. i contacted honda of america corporate about a goodwill gesture due to car being under in miles of warranty, but over in months based on date of car purchase. was informed by case manager (case no.n012009-01-2200226) that warranty is "up" in car and they would not help in repair. *tr

Purchased a 2000 honda accord with about 60,000miles on it. after about 15,000 miles the transmission begins shifting very hard from 1st-2nd. at approx. 130,000 miles the car begins to shake and not shift out of first, with my rpm soaring to over 3500. the mechanic tells me the lower bands are "burnt up" to the tune of 1200$. that is just to have the bands replaced, and with all the problems i am hearing with transmissions going out a 2nd and 3rd time on these year model hondas it is hard to invest 1200 dollars into something that might go out again. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord with an automatic transmission and v6 engine. on 12/13/2008, the transmission was shifting hard and check engine light came on. the transmission has to be rebuilt at the tune of $3200. here has been yearly service done to prevent any other issues. on 12/28/11, the transmission was shifting hard, engine light came on and a p740 code was found. clearly this is a faulty transmission design and a recall should be in order. there are many people that had the same issues from years 1999 to 2001. this issue is a hazard. *tr

My 2000 honda accord is showing transmission problem (p0740, p0730) with 123k. i have seen a recall page with warranty extension for 100k or 7 years so i didn't qualify for both. the warranty clearly tells there may be a material or workmanship issue. honda is washing their hands and asking me to pay 2200$ for repair. why should i be responsible for their mistakes?and i first felt this transmission issue in the middle of a crowded highway(during the evacuation of hurricane ike) and luckily saved from a big accident,. i had 4 people and a kid in my car. this is surely a matter of safety. i could see a lot of honda transmission issue after the incident in web. please take appropriate action to take these vehicles out of the road as it may cause big accidents and honda to replace all faulty parts. *tr

Transmission not engaging nor shifting into gear properly . whenever i start the engine after sitting overnight, the transmission doesn't pick up speed normally. now whenever i start the car and drive off, the rpms go up fairly quickly, but the car accelerates slowly and lurches forward with a thud. and the check engine light is on and the d4 gear indicator light is blinking green. i only had 119,500 miles when this level of symptom manifested itself... now i'm at 120,000. yesterday (08/25/2008) i called american honda 1-800-999-1009 to complain of the issues i've been experiencing. american honda said that i had to bring my car into a dealership and have them diagnose it. (fyi - i'd already spent over $660 at another reputable shop to have the problem repaired without resolution...but, they did say that given all the work they'd done, it could only be the transmission). ironically, during the call the rep could hear that the car was revving at high rpms but wouldn't shift into d4. fearful of a fire or blown transmission, i had to pull over, turn off the engine, and restart after 5 minutes. the dealership informed me that it would still be a mandatory $89 charge to diagnose something both they and i already know. the voluntary extension of the warranty from 100k to 109k is ridiculous. i suspect that there is a very large contingent of honda owners who have, already had, or will soon have the same problem. like many others here that i've read, we got a honda based on their reputation of their transmissions lasting over 200k+ miles. up until this, i'd been mostly happy with the way it drove (despite the lifelong and moderately annoying tendency for the car to "jump" into gear from dead stops despite gradual application of the gas pedal). i certainly hope that posting here helps result in a class action lawsuit because i really feel like i'm getting taken advantage of. it's me (hopefully us) against the big corporation. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord ex 4cyl 2.3l 2 door. i purchased the vehicle used from duval honda 1290 cassat ave jacksonville florida 32205 (904-899-1900) in april of 2008. the car drove perfectly for about 30 days then the transmission started to slip while i was driving. now the transmission jerks into every gear as it shifts and slips out of gear frequently while i am driving. not knowing if a recall for this problem existed i have been shopping around for transmissions to find they cost between $1400 and $3000 to be replace to include labor. this is unacceptable because all stores are informing me the problem will return soon with this specific transmission. i have done several internet searches to find i am not thee only honda owner with this issue and i am writing to inform you of my concerns with this vehicle also. the car was purchased with 68k miles or so and is now around 80k for miles. this are not normal areas of mileage where a transmission should be failing. i feel this unsafe and chronic problem should be fixed by honda, either by a factory recall (100% paid for by honda) or a total buy back of this vehicle since they have so blatantly and purposely sold defective and unsafe vehicles placing not only myself and my passengers but all drivers on the road in danger. if this problem continues i know that the transmission will cease to work and i may be responsible for causing a traffic accident and hurting someone because of this mechanical defect honda has chosen to ignore. i am hoping this letter will help aide in a push to get honda to rectify this problem. *tr

I have a 2000 honda accord se - 4 cylinder. sometimes when i take my car from park to reverse, i get a thud sound. i didn't think anything about it. at around 120,000 miles, when i put my car in reverse, the car won't move. when i step on the gas to try to get the car to move in reverse, the engine revs, but the car still won't move. i put the car back to park and then put in into reverse and it will be fine. if i am parked on a slanted surface where the front end of my car is sitting lower then the back and i try to put my car into reverse, the car rolls forward, but not reverse. one time i had to put my car into park, then reverse, park then reverse about 20 times to get out of the parking space. because my car is over the warranty period, my local honda dealer won't do anything about it. my husband seems to think that my transmission is slipping and someday i am going to be stuck. we don't have the $2000 to $4000 to have a new transmission put in. i thought hondas were a long lasting car? i bought my car brand new and hoped to get my years out of it before i had to put major money into it. has anyone else had this problem? *tr

Around may 10, 2008 while driving my d3 indicator started flashing on the instrument panel. when i took the car to the dealer they ran some test and said that they found a p0780 shift malfunction and a p0303, p0305, p0306 egr valve codes. both of these codes are problems that honda knows about. i have received warranty extension for both but the egr problem only good for 80,000 miles and the trans warranty is good for 100.000 miles. instead of give out extended warranty they should have paid for these problems to be fixed. the egr problem has coasted me 336.10 and the trans is going to cost 2467.38. i have a 2000 honda accord ex. i think that there should be a recall for both problems. please check into these problems. thank you. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. the contact stated that the key could be removed from the ignition without the vehicle being placed into park. the shifter would also display that the vehicle was in park and drive at the same time. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 05v025000 (electrical system:ignition:switch), although the failures were identical. the failure and current mileages were less than 170,000.

The transmission of the car was a recall but i never received a letter from the american honda. the car only has 93,587 miles and the transmission broke down. when i called the american honda they told me that the car was a recall with the warranty the seven years and 9 months or 109,000 miles. of course when i call the warranty was expired. i explained to them that i never received that letter. they told they did not have record of my address. *tr

The same year, make & model lke my car had been recalled a few years back. this yr 2008 my car had barely reached over 100,000 miles and i started noticing my car making a sound and the car jumping slightly at times when i would accelerate. i did my tune up as soon as possible and chevron mechanics said that my transmission had a leak in between and the motor. they informed me about the recall and to check with the manufacturer to fix the problem. so i did and they gave me a so called extension to 109,000 when i brought it to them at about 108,000 miles. they kept my car for about a week and told me they changed the transmission oil and ran tests on it and found no leaks or anything wrong with the transmission. i thought maybe when they did the transmission oil change it miraculously fixed the problem but a few days later i had the same problems with my car and i have been checking my transmission and motor oil every 3 to 5 days and refilling both cause it seams both are leaking. i feel that the manufacturer didn't put the time or effort to check what was the problem with the transmission cause they would have found that it is in fact leaking oil. i wonder if they even checked my car or didn't want to take the expenses if it indeed fall under the recall. i don't know what to do. please help me and inform me about what i can do to get more information on investigating if it is a recall at all. i strongly feel that i haven't caused my car any damages or neglects that would make me at fault for the problem with my vehicle. i always kept my car up to date with oil changes, tune ups, etc. *tr
