2005 honda accord v6 cp with only 37k on it, transmission failed this am and was towed to honda dealership in sacramento, ca. So far there is no update. Car has been maintained and well taken care of. Its soo sad that a honda car would brake down at only 37k when standard warranty is only good for 36k. I have no idea what will honda corporation decide but I hope they will stand behind their product and take care of their customers.
2005 Honda Accord transmission complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 113 of 113, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1) the vehicle shakes at high speed. 2) the vehicle at slow speed sounds like the wheel bearings are grinding themselves down 3) the vehicle vibrates at slow and high speed but more so at high speed when pressing the brake peddle 4) the vehicle was brought to the dealership 3 times for these problems with the drive train and the brakes. Still after the third time of having new brakes and wheel bearing the vehicle continues to vibrate to such a manner as I feel it highly unsafe.
My car suddenly accelerated upon exiting a car wash as I changed from neutral to drive. The design of the exit lane from the car wash driveway and access to the four lane street where the car wash is located does not allow for any speed as there are two sharp turns . My car sped across the driveway, into a culvert and toward the heavy traffic. I applied the brakes immediately and steered the car away from the street, crossing several business parking lots and landscaped areas. My 2005 honda accord received several thousands dollars in damage. Honda denied it was warranty and did not show me the computer diagnostic evaluation. In fact, this information seemed to be closely guarded by the service department at honda orr in hot springs, ar. I was told to contact my insurance company for repairs. This car experienced what I would explain as an open throttle which may be a new problem for computerized cars. I have taken several photos of my car and the scene, which shows several feet of skid marks.
I drove a 2005 honda accord. After two days of purchased which was in april , 2005 I pulled out of the parking space my left front tire was popped. I had it replaced and called the dealership. They sent me to one of their tire affiliate dealer and they said that it was not manufacturer faults. Four or five months after, I heard my brakes making this screech loud noise so I brought in for the dealer to take a look at and they had it re-do on the brake. Last week, beginning of may 2006. The car bring in my attention on the freeway. When I drive at 65 miles, the car was shaking, it moves side to side and I don't have that much control with the wheels. I brought it in and the dealer had my wheels rotate for me. And today, this morning I dropped my daughter to her baby sitter house at 9:30 a.m. It is a busy residential area so I was driving around 15-20 miles per hour. I heard a very loud noise from my car and the car was dragging something in the front, right passenger side for few seconds and the car was dead stop in the middle of the street. I could not start the engine at all. So I went out and looked. I saw my front right side car dropped on it's own wheel with black pieces, bolt, and silver ring piece scattered on the street. I looked down and saw my front right axle was broken and felt down on the street. There are neighbors walked by and saw what happened. I called a towed truck and they came by to towed my car to the nearby honda dealer. With the condition the car was in. The tow truck man told me that he might had scraped my front bumper because my car had very small space for the lift of his truck to go under and lift up the car. We managed to secured the car and had it towed to the dealership. And they said that they will take a look at it.
When the vehicle is started with a cold engine the car will surge in gear, accelerating the car unexpectedly. The frequency of the problem is intermittent. The car will surge with enough force that the amount of pressure one ordinarily exerts on the brake pedal to hold a car stationary is insufficient.
Is already time for someone to take real action again honda and the problem that a lot of 05 accord owner are having with very strong vibration from under the car. Making any trip unpleasant. I have research the web and they are hundreds of accord owner suffering from this problem with no answer from honda. Only answer available is according to the dealers, that''s normal which is not. In my case my car is to the point that at any RPM you feel you are driving a car that has 300k miles on it when is a brand new engine. I really don''t want to keep wasting my time with dealers because all of them tell you something different or that''s just normal. I am requesting that someone make honda aware of this issue and to find out a solution because this vibration just seem to be getting worse everyday. -vibration happens at any time when car is idle and any gear is engaged. -when accelerating very strong vibration is felt from under the car and gas pedal and wheels. -(dealer have check alignment, rotates tires, and check pressure on tire still same problem just getting worse). This vibration makes car powerless. At point driving in highway that car becomes powerless. Gas pedal have to be pushed really hard just to get it moving. Had a few incident in which almost got hit by other car because car just wouldn't pick up properly.

My 2005 honda accord ex has three features that compromise my safety: 1. The right-hand corner of the sun visor, when in its fullest position (not at an angle), obscures nearly half of the rearview mirror. This has caused a number of "near accident" events. 2. The honda is designed to downshift when going downhill. Not only does this diminish gas efficiency, but can cause skids in icy weather. 3. The brakes are extremely sensitive. I have spoken to two area honda service centers and a service representative at honda headquarter. The area managers say that "they're all like that; there's nothing we can do," and the honda headquarters rep says the same. She even went so far as to recommend I get the lower half of my windshield tinted to prevent sun glare! What about night driving? I can't believe that solutions to this problem cannot be found. Can you help in any way?
Dt: contact stated that while sitting at a stop light on a hill and taking foot off the brakes the vehicle rolled backward. Dealer and manufacturer told her this was normal for this type of vehicle. She was told the idle was lower for a quieter ride, and it did not have the power the hold the vehicle on a hill.
Honda accord ex was parked in a picnic area near a local river. The driver stepped out with three passengers remaining in vehicle. The vehicle began to roll after the passenger turned off the ignition. The parking brake was not engaged, however, the driver states that the transmission was in park. The vehicle then rolled approximately 10' forward and down a 40 degree slope leading to the river. The vehicle stopped in the river with approximately one-half of the vehicle submersed. Two passengers escaped prior to entering the water. Both of these individuals received minor injury in the process. The other passenger was pulled out the passenger window after the vehicle had entered the river. We made several inquiries with honda corporation, local dealership, and our insurance company about possible mechanical problem. Our hope was to have someone explain the possible scenarios leading to this incident. No one could provide complete evidence to in
Problems with the 2005 honda accord ex.***no answer required***. *mr the vehicle jolted everytime it was started. The vehicle also became stuck in second gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The dealer replaced the transmission and the vehicle was returned to the consumer. The consumer still felt some jolting and took the vehicle to another dealer. The vehicle has been serviced twice for transmission problems. The key would not come out of the ignition. The consumer request that the dealer/manufacturer rescind the contract or provide her with a collateral exchange.
I own both a 2004 accord ex v6 coupe and now a 2005 ex v6 sedan with automatic transmissions. Transmission gear shifter completely misses the "d" postition and moves into "d3" when shifting from either "park or neutral modes", as though that is the correct position to operate the vehicle when driving! This is not a normal condition to operate a vehicle. There is no significant "detent" position to secure the shifter into the "d" postion. It simple slips by the "d" mode right into "d3"! Every other auto transmission car I've owned required extra effort to bypass the "drive" position to place the shifter into another(lower) gear setting. Operating either oy my vehicles in this manner may eventually cause significant damage to the transmission, engine or both. It may even cause some unforeseen transmission behavior affecting drivability.honda customer service was contacted and their suggestion was to be "more careful" in selecting the gear shifter position. That does not sound like a very substantial solution to an obvious mechanical problem (short coming).
1. Noticed when drove off of the lot of the dealer. I thought that it was just more power with the vehicle because it is a v-6, which I am not familiar with. 2. There is a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear, which you can feel underneath your feet, almost like an annoying vibration. 3. I took it to the dealer and they had no idea what it was. They then wanted to disconnect the ABS to see if it could clear the problem, but it was just a test, I have no idea how that would remedy the problem.
