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.

Exterior lights (headlights) had to be replaced twice. As I your recall listing Honda Accord had recall on 1/30/2007 and we were not notified of this action. 1. 11/24/2007--driver side...$13 2. 01/12/2007---replaced at N/C. we are wondering why we did not get a recall notification? also hazard indicator has failed or does not stay lit as designed. Repaired once.
