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.

Failure of driver's shoulder seat belt to retract during major accident. While driving my 2005 Honda Accord, another driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic and I hit head on at 45 mph at my driver's left front to center front. Driver airbag deployed and seat belt was buckled, but there was no tension nor retraction of my driver's shoulder seat belt. I went above air bag, into and broke windshield and back up again. Sustained head, neck, back, chest and arm injuries. 2005 Honda was totaled by insurance company.
