CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Honda Accord suffers from transmission failure. It's not a huge widesperad problem like in prior years, but definitely still something to consider.
The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000.
Transmission failure problems have been a huge problem for the Accord & several other Honda models all through the early 2000s model years. Honda eventually extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 Accords as a class action lawsuit settlement, but owners of other Accord model years with transmission problems are out of luck.

You guys are all lucky. At least you're an owner of an 2004 (or 2003 if you're reading this). I have an 05 with the exact same issue. If your 04's can't get fixed because you're VIN is out of range (even though clearly it continued to be an issue), you really think Honda's going to fix my 05? Even when the dealer told me it is the EXACT same issue from the service bulletin on the 03 and 04 years?
I just wonder if there are other peole with the same experience. The hip pain is getting worse everyday. I am even considering going to a physician cause it is almost unbearable
