2000 Honda Accord Latches & Locks Problems

THE ISSUE IS I CAN REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY WITHOUT THE SHIFT LEVER BEING IN "PARK" ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD, VIN [XXX]. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL, BUT THE DEALER STATES IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR HANDLE, WHICH WAS MADE OF METAL AND PLASTIC, FRACTURED AND CAUSED TWO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS TO SUSTAIN CUTS ON THEIR FINGERS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR HANDLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURER WITH PLASTIC INSTEAD OF METAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 170,000. UPDATED 05/19/10. *LJ

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE KEYLESS ENTRY WORKS ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE LOCKS IN THE OTHER DOORS NEED TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR UNTIL RECENTLY. MY DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST APPROX. 800.00 TO FIX. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. I AM WORKING WITH HONDA TO TRY AND GET THEM TO FIX IT. I JUST HOPE THAT THE OTHER SIDE DOES NOT DO THAT. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE MY 4 YR. OLD NIECE WITH ME AND SOMETHING HAPPEN AND WE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT COULD BE REPORTED PUBLICLY ABOUT THIS, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE LATCHES ON THE DOORS. *NM

I'VE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER DRIVING FOR 4-5 YEARS, THE TRUNK KEPT POPPING UP EVERY WHERE I WENT. I HAD TO PULL OVER, CLOSED THE TRUNK AND IT WOULD POP OPEN AGAIN. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIX IT. I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE THE LOCK IN THE TRUNK IN ORDER TO KEEP IT LOCK. UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, THE LOCK IN THE TRUNK SHOULDN'T BREAK LIKE THAT. *NM

WE PURCHASED A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY IN FEB. WE WERE DRYING IN SNOW AND ICE ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER. THE VAN SLID AROUND AND WAS FACING A DROP-OFF. I HAD TO KEEP IT IN GEAR TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING. I YELLED FOR MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN TO GET OUT!. THE POWER SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN B/C I WAS IN GEAR (REVERSE). IN MANUAL MODE THEY WERE TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE CHILDREN TO GET OPEN. A CAR WAS COMING DOWN THE HILL OUT OF CONTROL DIRECTLY TOWARDS US. WE REALLY DID SEE OUR LIVES FLASH BEFORE OUR EYES. LUCKLILY THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SQUEEZE BY THE FRONT OF US. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THE KIDS JUMPED OUT AS I SLOWLY SLID FORWARD. AFTER THEY WERE CLEAR OF THE VAN, I PUT IT IN REVERSE, PUT SOME GAS TO IT AND SLID AROUND AND WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. I DID NOT REALIZE BEFORE BUYING THIS VAN THAT THE POWER DOORS WERE DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES ON OTHER MAKES OF VANS. MOST OF THEM OPEN EASILY MANUALLY. PLEASE CONSIDER PURSUING A CHANGE. I AM TRYING TO SELL THE VAN NOW- IT HAS PRACTICALLY SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME.*AK

WHILE USING THE REMOTE CONTROL AND MANUAL TO OPENED THE DOOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO ENTER OR EXIST ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED. CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. *AK

ALL FOUR DOORS MAKES A BIG NOISE WHEN THEY CLOSE THE DOORS. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT SLIGHT INCLINE. CONSUMER OPENED TRUNK TO PLACE ITEM IN IT,AND TRUNK LID FELL ON HER HEAD. RECEIVED HEAD INJURY.*AK
