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.

oring leals air into the power steerng pump... (1 reports)
The car began with a buzz this morning when the temps reached 0. No matter how long it has been warming up, it is still buzzing....
Update from Dec 14, 2011: So I surfed the net and found that there is a small $1.50 O ring for the Power steering that needs to be replaced. the parts guy said that it was probably the power steering pump, but I told him that we would start with the dollar 50 ring and go from there....that did the trick so far the buzzing stopped and I am good til my next problem comes up. Sooper easy fix anyone could handle this fix.
