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.
My drivers side rear caliper froze one time, it was then unstuck and lasted about 4 months. It then failed for good and needed to be replaced.. The dealership for the part was close to $300 + labor.
I Googled how to replace it myself and it was shockingly easy. Bought my replacement caliper from Napa and was less than $80 after the core exchange. It's been 13 months and the replacement caliper still works great!
