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 have seen this with other models and same models. Honda says it needs an aftermarket adjustable control arm, I believe is what they said, to be able to adjust the camber or toe, whichever is out. Total cost $600. If the alignment can't be adjusted, and they need to order an aftermarket part to fix it and I see it happening on many other vehicles, it sounds like a defect. We should get some or all help.
