Problems with 2000 Honda Accord POWER TRAIN

When coming to a stop sign or light and shifting in high gears vehicle returns back to a lower gear. dealership is aware of problem.*ak

2000 honda accord ex v6 has transmission problems... when car goes from 1st to 2nd it slips really bad. it is a safety hazard because when i'm behind someone and hit the gas it revs up and nothing happens and then it catches and the tires spin. i almost hit someone today with a child in the car. this needs to be fixed now! *tr

Bridgestone tire failure. *slc

Transmission made a loud sqeaking noise and the air bag system failed twice. the dealer was informed appx. 7 day after the car was purchased of the problem and insisted it was just new car noises they will work themselves out. and again in april may i informed the dealer and the same things was said. now i have a replaced transmission and they do not know why the srs system keeps failing. *ak

Heard a grinding noise from the front of the car. upon investigation at the dealership, they said it needs a new transmission. i have lost faith in the quality of honda. i am going get the new transmission put in tomorrow. i will post about that experience later (i hope it is good). however, because my warranty is going to run out in less than 3000 miles, i need an extended power train warranty from honda. if honda does not come around, i will trade this carr and never buy another honda in my life and i will never recommend it to anyone i do not consider as my enemy.*ak

Transmission failure. i have a 2000 honda accord that fell into the category of having a faulty transmission by honda's own acknowledgement. instead of offering a recall they offered an extended warranty to 109k. well my car has a 130,000 miles. i am extremely upset that after being told this car should go 200,000 miles by the dealer that instead i have to replace a $3000 transmission. if honda has known about their mistake then why is the consumer paying for it? after reading the other complaints i question whether the new transmission being put in will be even last. please force them to offer a recall. driving 20 mph on the highway once the transmission fails is a serious safety issue. *tr

Ongoing problem with automatic transmission clunking during sudden stops. vehicle been in dealer's shop on three occasions, and informed nothing could be found. please feel free to provide any further details on this matter. *ak

At first right light blewout; then, left side light went out. consumer felt unsafe because there was a chance of being rear ended. *ak consumer while traveling on highway a motorist told him that consumer had no brake lights this was the second time in one year due to horn shortening out, first the left brake light and then the right one, also shifter will not come out of park unless the emergency release is used.*jb

When shifting to reverse, loud thump comes from under car. upon initial startup, engine makes loud thump, motor seems to shift or move, creak or tapping noise coming from front supsension or frame of car when moving forward from complete stop, dealer could not find problem. *ak

Transmission replaced at 1308 miles & now the car doesn't ride smooth. at lower speed the car is jerky, hesitates, slow down very quickly as soon as you left off the gas, feels llike the brake is on. also has a noise coming from front right of car everytime i start up and pull away i hear it once. didn't hear it with the original transmission. the whole feel of the car driving is very different with the new transmission and i really don't like it. it's not smooth and flowy like the first transmission. it's very tight and feels like you constantly need gas. rides terrible on hills. i told honda that my wheels pull left on highway driving and they told me that's normal. not happy here. *ak

This is my second time filling out this report , i just want to clarify something. i receiveda new transmission when the car had only 1308 miles on it because the first transmission clunked everytime i backed up. the replacement transmission rides nowhere as nice as the first transmission in forward gears. i explained all the problems in the first report i submitted to you. thanks. *ak

Speedometer is not accurate. it appears to be from 7 to 10 mph off from surrounding traffic. dealer claims it is within the 10% allowable difference. this is unacceptable. they tell us when it reads 65 we are actualling going 60. they have not provided any documentation to support the inaccuracy. *ak

While in reverse and traveling backwards there is a loud clunk and thump from under the car. the dealer told me that honda was investigating the problem and no fix was made to my car.

Vehicle would roll back on a hill while in drive if foot was taken off brake pedal. dealer said nothing was wrong with it.*ak *slc

Within five days of purchasing this vehicle, owner noticed vehicle shaking and shuddering at 25 mph and 40 mph under light throttle. this condition was and is repeatable. problem is always present at aforementioned speeds. dealer was notified, and owner was informed that dealer would contact manufacturer regarding this problem. owner was contacted 01/04/00 by dealer, and told that manufacturer will be shipping a complete transmission assembly to replace factory installed transmission. dealer stated that upon their receipt of transmission, they will contact owner to schedule 2-3 day r&r of defective transmission. owner is concerned about potential future powertrain failures due to the complexity and scope of this proceedures which will take place at dealership. owner would expect extended powertrain warranty for this vehicle. *ak

Vehicle runs well but every time you initially start up and back up it jolts you as you release the brakes and start moving. it is more noticeable in reverse than drive. it has been brought to the dealer three times but they refuse to investigate saying the manufacturer is working on it. i fear the drivetrain will fall apart while driving causing a major accident.

Automatic transmission emits noise ("thunk") while vehicle is moving in reverse, accompanied by abrupt shift as if not fully engaged in gear. *ak

3 transmission leaks as of 04/04/2000: at third leak - replacing transmission...oil leak: engine replaced due to indentation b/w valve cover & block. received 5yr/60k bumper-bumper warrenty. *ak

The day after we purchased the vehicle we noticed a loud "thump" when putting the car in reverse. this noise was heard almost every time the vehicle was shifted into reverse. upon calling the service dept. at the dealer where the vehicle was purchased we were told this was a normal sound when shifting into reverse. the noise continued to happen & it was obvious it was not normal so we again called the dealer's service dept. which then said it was indeed not normal & to bring it in. it apparently was a known defect in 2000 accord v6 models. the transmission was replaced. in aug 2000 the car would not start. it was not a battery problem as lights, etc. worked. i tried several times to start the car & upon turning the ignition had no response. none of the dash lights indicating engine trouble remained on, although they did intially come on & then go out. i let the car sit for 15-20 mins at which time i then was able to start the car. this problem has not yet repeated itself.
