“My Honda Accord 2000 had the same problem with the recall instrument panel lights not on or NHTSA campaign id number: 04v256000 but when I call the Honda motor they said may exactly is the same year 2000 but the VIN number not include in the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10273150, filed 2009-06, 145,000 miles“I have a 2000 Honda Accord. The dashboard lights short out due to a systemic defect in the fuse system, wherein the fuse works itself loose and the bulbs short out. This is supposedly a systemic problem with Honda Accord models dating back to at least my year, according to Honda representatives. They tell me that even though, accords were subjected to recall for this very problem, my VIN was outside the parameters of the recall. I never received a recall notice for the problem. This is a serious safety defect and creates a dangerous night driving condition. …”
NHTSA complaint #10361423, filed 2010-10, 134,000 miles“My 2000 Honda Accord ex multiplex control unit malfunctioned causing my dash lights to go out and I can't see my dash panel at night ie. Speedometer. This is a safety issue and I am a single mom with 2 young kids and haven't owned the car for even a year and less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles and nothing I did caused the multiplex control unit to malfunction and there is a recall on this already for 2000 Honda Accord but american Honda has given my several excuses as well as the salesperson at the dealership called and was told a different answer one was with the plant car…”
NHTSA complaint #10291277, filed 2009-11, 83,246 miles“Dash board lights went off without any warning signs. The entire instrument panel was invisible in night. It is a safety issue as I could not read any of the instrument panels. The car was taken to Honda dealership for failure analysis and repairs. They found that the multiplex unit on the driver side of the car had failed and needs replacement. Honda has already issued recall for the same component for the same problem for the same model year (2000) car as mine, but since my VIN# was not part of recall, they refused to honor the recall. At this point I had to pay $428.00 to get the car fixed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10169854, filed 2006-10, 74,800 miles“Dash light on instrument panel comes and goes darkening the entire dashboard while driving at night. Vehicle was stopped at night by police on dark highway along coastline road due to driving too slow creating a traffic hazard for others. Driver could not see panel to gauge speed.”
