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.

Takata recall. The airbag warning light stays on. Dealer acknowledges this but the VIN doesn't show the vehicle (2005 Honda Accord hybrid) covered under the recall.
I have 2005 Honda Accord which is not included in the takata recall but I have a airbag light that goes off and on. As a result, my passenger side seat belt locked up when I took it to the dealer they said that the engine read a code that said it was involved in rear collision and it was not. They also stated that the seat belt could have locked up because the airbag light is on. Someone was sitting in the seat and had to maneuver to get out of it. The dealership has told me it will cost $800 and up to repair the seat belt (and it was not covered under the lifetime warranty for seat belts)but when I took the car to Honda the airbag light was not on at that moment so they told me it was nothing they can do unless it was on. I believe that this is a problem because the dealership also told me that if I have a faulty airbag that my seat belt may continue to lock up. I am hesitant to fix the seat belt because of the airbag situation.
