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.
It has been a super annoying issue since about a month after we purchased the car. It was only a year old when we bought it and seemed impeccable. Well, it was really, just had the annoying squeaky clutch. We discussed a repair under our warranty but it wouldn't be a simple fix, rather replacing the entire clutch cable. It didn't happen so we still deal with it to this day.
I had the same problem with my clutch squeaking. It squeaked more during the hot and humid months. I brought it to a Honda dealer and they lubed it and told me I was all set. The squeak came back a couple of days later. I bought it back and they replaced the clutch master cylnder. It fixed the squeak for about a year, then the squeak returned after the warranty had expired. I will look for an aftermarket master cylinder now.
The clutch would squeak when releasing, mainly when slowly releasing the pedal when starting from a stop. The dealer looked it over and lubricated the pivot and said that it should solve the problem.
