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.
Sporadically ??? fumes are inside the car. Especially, when the AC is running. These exhaust type fumes causes headaches and nausea. I have had several mechanics look at the car and the response is if it doesn't happen at the time of inquiry they have no clue.
On one long 8-9 hour trip, it was necessary to roll down the windows to be able to ride in the car.
