One problem related to brake disc caliper has been reported for the 2000 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Honda Accord based on all problems reported for the 2000 Accord.
After 2 years owning the vehicle when it was driven for about 17k miles front brake pads had worn completely and had been replaced by a mechanic. After replacement when odometer showed 19. 5k miles brakes have been overheating extremely and later brake pedal during usage started to exhibit heavy pulsations. Car has been taken to the mechanic that replaced pads with Honda brand pads and discs have been resurfaced. At 25k miles vehicle pedal pulsations came back, rotors metal turned blue and overheating was bad. I understand that it is a brake design problem and decided to investigate on my own. I have a mechanical engineering master degree. At about 40k miles I made rotor replacement and oiled caliper bolts. Also, I investigated how Toyota brakes of similar car size never got so hot and found one construction element that different between Honda Accord 2000 brakes and Toyota camry brakes. Toyota brakes use v shape return springs on a brake pads and brake pads have holes in them to accept end points of these v springs. I drilled holes in Honda brake pads using Toyota camry brake pads as a reference. Also, bent v shape return springs from piano string 1. 2 mm (bought in ace hardware) and installed the same way as on Toyota. Rotors have been replaced at 40k miles. Currently car has 127k miles and same rotors as I put in 2004. I managed to get 35-45k between pads replacements after this modification and overheating of rotors has stopped. Whoever interested in fixing this Honda brake design problem make sure to oil caliper pins and caliper side contact elements of brake pads during replacement with high temperature graphite grease. This is more important then resurfacing your rotors! use Toyota camry brake pads and v springs as reference or just buy v springs designed for camry (brake repair kit). This will solve all overheating and disk wobbling forever.
