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.
Since December of 2015 I had to replace the engine in my car not once but FOUR times. The car originally has 212,XXX miles on it and as read in multiple threads & forums I knew it was only a matter of time before I encountered the dreaded oil burning problem. Every engine I replaced it with had anywhere from 50k - 80k miles on the new engine but no matter what the same issue occurs over and over again no matter what and in the process has cost me a lot of money and inconvenience having to withdraw from college multiple times due to this issue. The spark plugs, wires, and new oil was replaced with every engine and within two months the oil burning problem come back. Starts with the oil light flashing (meaning the oil level is low) then having to replace the oil pressure switch (again) to not being able to drive the car due to blowing a piston or engine seizure. I highly recommend if you have this car to get rid of it ASAP! I spent well over $8k in repairs with nothing but four bad engines to show for it. And every time I take it to the dealer they play stupid and claim to have never heard of this issue and that I'm the first one to come forward with this complaint. I been looking into trying to contact someone to see if I can file a lawsuit against Honda if anyone knows of one let me know please and thank you.
