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.

I was using my heated seats this morning on my way to work. I set the driver's side seat on the low setting and within a few minutes my left thigh began to burn. I looked down and saw smoke coming from the seat and noticed the leather beginning to discolor. I immediately turned the heat off and snuffed out the smoke with my fingers. I am now in the process of notifying Honda.
