Rack and pinion came loose twice from Honda replace once within one month rack and pinion came loose again as I was driving car could have cause fatality.
Samething wrong witherspoon the direction an brake lamp light. My car can not pass smog check.
Passenger side subframe rusted out near steering/suspension components causing my sone to lose control of vehicle and crash. This is a well know defect of this vehicle.
Car keeps going out of line when steering wheel gets lose after bumbs. Fixed rack n pinon and steering wheel pump 2x already!.
The vehicle handling is poor when making sudden turns (avoidance maneuvers). When I spoke to my local dealer, the Honda representative indicated there is no safety recall and everything metal rusts in this area (southeast wisconsin). He gave me a number for some Honda care center, but after navigating through the automated phone system I found out the center was not open at the time I called. . . Frustrating. Upon examining the underside of the vehicle it is apparent the frame (engine cradle or sub frame) where the stabilizer bar mounts to the frame on the passenger side is totally rusted through, allowing the stabilizer bar to move a great amount only to be held up by the sway bar link pin on the passenger side. My concern is that if the sway bar link pin termination comes loose or breaks, the sway bar will drop and drag on the pavement, possibly catapulting the car.
Passenger side rear subframe rusted and broke off I heard a clunking sound when I was going down the street on the way to work I turned the corner and heard a loud clunk sound and got under my car and looked and the passenger side rear subframe is broke off.
The passenger side subframe is badly compromised by rust (some holes). Parts of the suspension and steering can be compromised is it fails while driving. The driver side is not badly rusted. Honda has relocated the air conditioning drip tube in later years which might be the cause of the problem.
When in motion vehicle transmission slips terribly and is difficult to shift. Car only has 100,000 miles on it. Also air bag lights are always on. Steering wheel also locked on the car.
The srs light is on and the airbag lights cone on.
Subframe rot caused from the ac drain line. My frame is completely rotted through and broken because of this. Could've caused a crash.
While driving around town heard clunk from passenger side front wheel. Jacked up car, pulled wheel and found sub frame had rotted through. This is an extremely hazardous condition, as the car could have lost steering control and have been in/caused an accident. This is a 2000 Accord and have searched the web and found many other Accord vehicles ( 1999-2002) with the same condition. Honda needs to step up and take care of their customers and replace the sub frames on the affected Accord vehicles.
While getting new front tires the service tech pointed out the rusted passenger side sub frame and showed me the perfect drivers side. Looking up was the air conditioning drain that caused the decay.
While bringing the vehicle to a local mechanic for brake work, the staff noticed that the right front subframe had rusted through, was broken, and was likely putting stress on the right front wheel bearing. Five days later, I returned the vehicle to the out-of-town user car sales/service business from which it was purchased and they confirmed the problem, tracing it to runoff from condensation over the air conditioning compressor directly on to the corroded area. Because of the pre-existing nature of the problem, the used car salesman is willing to pay 50% of the cost, but parts (even with the use of a rust-free used subframe) and labor total cost is $1,200.
The contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. The contact stated the power steering hose was leaking. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the power steering hose fractured. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 200,000. P.
The struts on both front and back went bad about 7 years ago. I was driving down the street with my boyfriend at the time, who is a mechanic and heard some thumping and other noises. He looked in under my Honda and told me that my struts on both the front and back are bad and need replacing. It's gotten a lot worse, floating over bumps, having a difficult time keeping it under control while turning around any type of corner and if I happen to not see any kind of bump or whole in the road, it sounds as if my car is going to fall apart. I have taken exceptional care of my Accord, but can't afford to pay for all new struts!!.
Since new the speedometer has been reading 8 to 9% in error-verified by the dealer service department. Honda claims a 10% variance is normal. This can be a concern while driving the car-may be driving at the posted limits or I may not be if the calibration is off and is waverying in its readings.
