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.
So a battery going dead in 3 yrs 3 months...Of course it had a warranty of 3 years. And the best part was that AAA driver was sure it was the Alternator if it died while I was driving the car. NO, he just cost me an extra $100 to take it to the mechanic to check out the alternator.
