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.
Right front passenger side power window will no longer roll up or down. Seemed at first the window was hesitant to roll up or down. Now, it does not work at all. Also, the actually glass of the window as moved down slightly and there is now a whistling noise at times when I drive. Probably from the contact now not being snug to the top of the window (my assumption).... Not sure if it's a fuse or the power window motor.
Less than 70,000 miles and I've never had a problem with a power window on any car I've ever owned.
First the windows started rising or going down slowly. Then intermittently they would not open or would not close. First the passenger's side in the coupe failed. Replaced the regulator and it helped most of the time but then the master switch on the driver's door quit working. Had to replace that and the regulator in the driver's door and then the two windows worked just fine. Should not fail at this mileage in a quality car such as the Honda Accord V6 coupe. It is not acceptable.
