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.
The seat belt light goes on and off intermittently. I thought this would be resolved with a 2007 Honda recall (04-05 ACCORD SEAT SRS SENSOR) which indicates the problems with the sensor wiring and false illumination. taking it to the dealer, they worked on the recall and advised that it cost me $365 to run Diagnostics- really?
