I drive a 2000 Accord coupe LX 4 cyc. And some time my car would just lose power and die. Once my car loose power I can no longer have control of the car. Several times during a turn and with traffic behind me. Lucky I was able to pull over to the side before any accident occurred. I took the car to the dealership many times, but each time they said nothing was wrong and there are no recalls on 2000 but only 98-99 Accord. They said that they will be more then happy to look into the issue but at my expensive. I was outraged that nothing is being done to fix this issue. I think this is a serious problem that Honda needs to fix before I myself and/or others get seriously injured. I have expressed my concerns to many dealerships but none of them are willing to find a fix.

I can remove the key from my 2000 Accord while the gear shift is still in drive. I did this once thinking I had placed the car in park, and after exiting the car it began to roll backward. Despite the fact there was a recall on 98 and 99 Accord for this same problem, the folks at Honda customer service told me I need to take my car to a Honda dealer and pay to have it inspected. However, they didn't promise me they could do anything for me after the inspection.
