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 wondering if this problem has come up for other owners of 3.0 liter Honda motors. We purchased the car new and have been using Mobil 1 in it after 20,000 miles . Thought that the car should run for a couple hundred thousand miles like my 1997 Pontiac grand prix. Which i am still driving today .I guess i was wrong!
