While driving my s2000 and turning on curvy roads the vehicle would not turn correctly and ended up in a field to the side of the road. We noticed the upper control arm spot weld broke free meaning the upper suspension mount was not connected and caused the incident. Honda knows it's an issue with 2000-2003 model year vehicles and has issued a tsb sn040903 "09/01/2004 popping from front wheel upper control arm mount" multiple other people have had the issue over the years so much that many companies developed reinforcement plates such as these: https://originfabrication.Com/products/upper-controll-arm-mounting-point-gusset-kit-honda-s2000 if this issue had occured just 500 feet before i would have ended up steering into an oncoming semi-truck.

I am the original owner of a 2000 honda s2000...This past month i replaced the headlight assemblies for both headlights because the plastic shields which protect the lights had deteriorated so much that virtually no light was emitting from the headlights and the part which was the problem (the plastic lens cover or shield)cannot be replaced as a separate part..You must purchase the complete headlight assembly from honda...As there are no after market alternative parts...The cost for the headlight assemblies was $1,100 plus taxes...Again nothing else other than the encasements were replaced..Still using the original bulbs, motors, transformers, etc.....It's outrageous that a part would deteriorate to the point of it becoming a safety issue and that i am stuck with an out of pocket expense of close to $1,200 to correct the situation... Thank you for any assistance you can offer in this matter. *tr

Dip stick showed good oil level. However, upon driving it one day the engine blew and the low oil warning light did not come on. Engine consumed oil enough that it threw a rod bearing. Replaced the bearings and it ran about 24 miles and it happened again. This time it destroyed the crank in number 2 cylinder. Honda corp. Wasn't very friendly about the problem but there seems to be a problem with oil distribution in this car. *tr

Dealer tried to remove the convertible top due to recall 004v160000 instead of replacing the cover as the recall stated. Convertible top was glued together when the consumer went to pick it up. Dealer stated that the top is getting old. *ak

Consumer stated that transmission jumped out of gear while driving at any speed. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer, and was told that the problem does could not be duplicated, and there was nothing they could do. Vehicle was still under warranty yet nothing was being done by the dealer to remedy the problem. Also, consumer contacted the manufacturer, who will not even talk to consumer to get to the bottom of the problem. *ak

I own a 2000 honda s2000 convertible. Since i purchased the vehicle, the rear window has steadily clouded to the point that i can no longer see through it. My local honda dealer (jones honda, 1335 manheim pike, lancaster, pa 17603 717-394-0711) tells me the entire roof would need to be replaced in order to replace the window. The cost is in excess of $2,000.00. I know several other s2000 owners and the same thing is happening to their rear windows.*ak
