general problems of the 2000 Honda Accord

My 2000 Honda Accord v6 3. 0 vtec engine is having some issues after it heats up when I start it would do some erratic rpm changes on idle and then stall. If I manage to get it moving despite rpm drops, it runs great and would not stall again. Also, if I leave it for a while (like 15 minutes) and then come back, it usually starts like nothing happened I believe this is a defect with pcm and fuel pressure regulator the issue has to do with ethanol having a lower boiling point than traditional gas. This causes it to vaporize on the fuel rail when the car's warm, but no long pumping gas because it's off. When you go to re-start the car, instead of liquid gas, you are spurting on fumes on the rail. I have not had this fixed on my car yet I've been doing some research and found several articles online and refers to this particular problem I've had my car service with a tune-up oil change and a fuel induction service I've also replaced the alternator and the throttle positioning sensor it is still giving me issues I would like to see if there is validity to my claim.

Fuel line is leaking.

Tl-the contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated independently when shifted into gear. There were no warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic but no diagnosis was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 200,000. Ddr.

I fear my vehicle is being denied a recall due to it by Honda. My vehicle failed its annual emissions test on Aug. 22. The state sent me a notice informing me that my 2000 Honda Accord was part of a recall class in 2004 that was connected to an emissions problem. I received no alert from Honda about such a recall. When I asked Honda about it this week, they told me my car was not part of the recall class. And they claimed that they could determine this by my car's VIN -- that the VIN indicated it was not part of the recall class. So I am asking for your help to determine if my vehicle is part of the recall. . Read more...

2000 v6 Honda Accord died without warning at a stoplight and since then it has become more frequent over shorter and shorter time periods/distances. During the first few several occurrences like this it just died either while stopped or while running but could be re-started by putting car into park gear and re-starting. No warning, no sputtering, no shaking and so on prior to any of the dying. The only indication it has died is the dash panel indicator lights would all be on as though the car was just being started. During re-start the dash panel lights would be lit like they should be just prior to starting. Now as of yesterday the pattern has changed to still dies and the dash panel lights come on but when you shift to park and then try to re-start none of the dash panel lights come on and all you hear is the cranking of the engine but not starting. Eventually after a few minutes (1-5 minutes) of being off you could then re-start the car and the dash panel lights would light up prior to the re-start like they should. Unfortunately toward the end of yesterday that pattern again changed to where the lights would not come on during the attempt to re-start even after 40 minutes. I called Honda on 06/18/2013 and spoke to an agent and told her that I believe this is the same issue that Honda had a recall for dealing with the ignition switch under recall#:36754 in the USA and also another in canada for the identical issue my Accord is demonstrating. Honda seems to want to hid behind the idea that if my VIN is not in the recall then I am out of luck. This is a life threatening driving condition the car dies while moving without warning. I am sure they are other owners with this same issue (web is full of owners decreeing this issue) that have just had car repaired but never filed report here to bring issue to your organization's attention.

I was pulling into the parking space after driving the vehicle for 45 mins (approx. 20 miles). When I was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. I was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 mph as I had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space. My leg was also in the break pedal as I made those turns after getting into the private property from IL rte 83. I can definitely confirm that my leg was not in gas pedal as my right leg was on the break pedal to make those turns and stop the car in the parking space. It all happened in the matter of few seconds and there was no time to react. The car came to halt only after hitting the building. Both air bags deployed as soon as the car hit the building and there was heave smoke inside the car. It was really scary because by looking at the damage the speed at the time of accident looks to be around 50 mph. It was a relatively higher curb in front and the building was just 6 - 8 feet away from the curb, I was also driving into the parking space at less than 10 mph. I am really shocked to see this kind of unintended/sudden acceleration happen with Honda Accord cars which could prove to be fatal for the driver, passenger and pedestrian alike.

Transmission failed but car was far past the extended warranty that existed from the 2006 class action lawsuit covering this make/model vehicle. Dealership never informed the existence of a recall.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). Subject: Honda Accord - mileage/speedometer is not working properly dear sir, I have a Honda Accord 200 and its speedometer is not working properly. Compare with diff gps, highway milestones etc. The speedometer is not correct. I have asked and compare with other Honda owners and they have noticed the same problem. I took/complain to car dealer and they have noticed the problem as well, but they cannot fix it, its a manufacturing defect. While compare with gps speed and speedometer on car, cars speedometer is running faster by 5 mph more. I understand from an internal source, that its a Hondas dirty practice to convince customer that Honda provides better mileage efficiency while comparing other cars. Can you look in to it, please?[xxx].

In may of 2008 my 2000 Honda Accord lost power while driving and would not restart. All of the gas ran out from the front of the car. The computer board had gone out. The computer board was replaced by another mechanic and then was towed to the Honda dealership to be reprogrammed. Since then it has gone back and was diagnosed with misfires. The coil packs , plugs and wires, fuel injectors, egr valve all have been replaced. The car is still spitting and sputtering like it is running on 4 cylinders and it is a v6. I have researched and there seems to be alot of these problems. Also the srs light stays on and you can turn the car off and remove the key without the car being in park. I never received any kind of recall from the dealerships on this recall. This car was bought new in 2000.

The alternator went out on the car with approximately 55,000 miles which is way too soon. The check engine light came on a couple of weeks later and had to replace the egr valve (covered under warranty). The right headlamp has been replaced at least 5 times since owning the car. It has been checked for an electrical short and nothing could be found. The factory-installed cd player failed at approximately 37,000 miles. I have always heard good things about the Honda, but I have not been too pleased with all the little nitpicking stuff. The original tires were replaced at the approximately 50000 mile mark. The new tires were dunlaps which failed within 8 months. Hopefully the new ones will make it.
