2005 Honda Accord transmission problems

POWER TRAIN

I was driving in Kansas City Kansas. On 635, It was around 6 pm. When I started exiting onto another highway. Due to car stalling by either transmission slipping, or the fuel pump stalling the engine headlights too dim with weird angle in lighting as well, Long story short.... I was almost the cause of a massive wreck ... it made for a quiet drive home... So I was also going to see if they've had a recall on 2005 honda accord aside from airbags.

AFRAID CAR MIGHT KILL ME! Hello, I have reported this issue before but am getting zero help. My car has a problem where it is burning through the oil, I've had numerous mechanics try to figure out what is causing it but, nothing. I would get an oil change today and before the month is out, I would have to continue checking and putting oil in the car because it would be completely dry. No leaks ever detected... I've change the oil to full synthetic and still have the problem. The vehicle continuously losses power when driving uphill, My check engine light stays on and the light in the glove compartment does not go off while driving. I'm worried my engine will blow up if the problem persist. I am the original and only owner of this vehicle. There is also a problem with the suspension or axel, when I push hard on the brakes, the car makes a noise like the bottom fell out and is dragging metal on the floor. Mechanic also cannot figure that out, I've paid over 6k in diagnosis, repairs and time trying to get help and nothing. I would like to get my honda checked and fixed. I Anxiously await a response and solution to this car. I have Covid and this is my only source of transportation.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE!! I KNEW THESE EARLY 2000S TO 2005S HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THE ACCORDS AND CIVICS, BUT I HAD A 2005 EARLIER AND WHEN SOMEONE HIT ME IT HAD OVER 168.000 MILES ON IT. (IT WAS A CALIFORNIA CAR WITH EXTRA SMOG COMPONENTS) NO TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES!! I REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER 2005 ACCORD 4CYL AT 79.441 MILES IN FEB OF 2018. THE CAR HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN GA. NOTHING WAS MISSED. I ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS DONE BY A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC BEFORE I EVEN PUT THE PLATE ON IT BACK IN NC. ON 6/12/19( 93500 ON CAR) I WAS IN A ROLLOVER WRECK IN MY 2002 TUNDRA.(GREAT TRUCK) AND REALLY NEEDED MY CAR. ON 6/14/19 I GO TO SEE MY TUNDRA IN THE JUNK YARD AND MY CAR JUST STARTS REVVING UP BUT STOPS MOVING. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THEN TRIED TO PUT CAR BACK INTO GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND GEAR AND LIMP TO A FRIENDS HOUSE. I WAS HEARTBROKEN!! TO LOSE BOTH IN 2 DAYS WAS INSANE! I TOOK IT TO FRIENDLYS TRANSMISSION IN HIGH POINT NC AND THEY PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION VERY QUICKLY!!!! I HOPE THIS ONE HOLDS BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CAR WITH A GREAT ENGINE AND I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT A LONG TIME. I THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING TO DEAL WITH HONDA BUT I WAS IN PAIN AND NEEDED MY CAR...IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT A LOW MILEAGE CAR THAT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF SHOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION SO SOON!!! IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF 11V395000, RECALL R89, 8/27 2011 WOULD SOMEHOW APPLY TO MY CAR!!!

REPEATEDLY STOPPING. WITH NO WARNINGS. WHEN DRIVING, ENGINE QUIT IN JANUARY, WOULD NOT MOVE OR EVEN TURN OVER. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MOVE. DOOR LOCKS, ELECTRIC AS WELL AS WITH THE KEY COULD NOT BE USED AT. CALLED AAA TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. JUMPED THE BATTERY TO MOVE THE CAR. STILL FROZEN IN GEAR. HAD IT TOWED TO TWO DEALERS. SAID THE CLUTCH WAS DESTROYED. PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE, NOT ONE PROBLEM. I HAD TO PAY 250.00 FOR DIAGNOSTICS TO TELL ME CLUTCH WAS BURNED OUT. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 34 YEARS AND ALWAYS HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. AFTER CLUTCH WAS REPLACED, IT DID IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. ONCE AGAIN, I CALLED AAA AND THEY JUMPED THE BATTERY. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CONSTANT ELECTRICAL FREEZE. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND OF THE DIAGNOSTIC. CHARGES AND REPAIRS.

TAKATA RECALL -I AM THE OWNER OF A BEAUTIFUL 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER OF MY CAR. MY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE WHERE IT IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL AND ENGINE SIEZES. (I MEAN REALLY BAD). I WOULD GET AN OIL CHANGE TODAY AND CAR WOULD BE OUT OF OIL WITHIN 2WEEKS...I'VE SPENT OVER 3000K DOLLARS ON TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND NO MECHANIC COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I FINALLY WENT TO A SPECIAL MECHANIC WHO FINALLY DID SOME RESEARCH AND FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA AND HAVE NOT YET DONE A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY BASED ON ARTICLES FROM THE HONDA/BRAMAN AND TAKATA SITES (WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD THAT AFTER 80K MILES THE ENGINE BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL IN THE ENGINE. MY CAR TAKES "FULL SYNTHETIC" SO ITS GOTTEN TO BE REALLY EXPENSIVE TO OWN THIS CAR. TO MENTION, THE CAR HAS NO LEAKS, ALL PARTS ARE IN WORKING ORDER. I CALLED AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE WEBSITE SINCE JANUARY 2017 AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED AND PUT MY CAR BACK TO NORMAL. THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR LIKE THE RADIO, THE BACK LIGHTS. I HAVE TO CHECK AND PUT OIL IN THE CAR EVERY COUPLE DAYS SO THAT MY ENGINE DOESNT SEIZE.

I HAVE RECENTLY BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH MY HONDA WHERE IT SUDDENLY STALLS WHILE MOVING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED SOME CLICKING NOISES AND SURGES AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2011 FOR HONDA TO REPLACE THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE); HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL AND I BELIEVE I AM NOW EXPERIENCE THE VERY PROBLEMS THAT THE RECALL FIX WAS TO RESOLVE. I AM SEEING THE VERY COMPLAINT ON YOUR SITE FROM OTHERS WHO ALSO HAVE HONDA ACCORDS FOR THE SAME YEAR OTHERS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED AND THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY INDICATION OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL. THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING, AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I APPLIED THE BRAKES, PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I THEN RESTARTED THE CAR, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS TOWARD TRAFFIC LINED UP BEHIND ME. I THEN REAPPLIED THE BRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND AGAIN SHUT THE CAR OFF. DUE TO CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA, THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO, SO I WAS STRANDED BLOCKING TRAFFIC.

THIS INCIDENT IS CONCERNING MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX V6, VIN (GIVEN ABOVE) . I AM THE FIRST OWNER AND CAR HAS 85000 MILES ON IT. ON 21ST SEPTEMBER 2014 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY TODAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER TURNED ON .THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE, WHICH WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND I'VE NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, TIMING BELT, ETC. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, NO LEAKS, NO ENGINE ISSUES AND THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE WHICH NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY SITUATION WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND HONDA NEEDS TO STEP-UP TO THE PLATE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM TIME AND TIME AGAIN WITH HONDA'S ESPECIALLY WITH 2005 ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION FAILURES. ON FURTHER RESEARCH ON NHTSA WEBSITE, I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000 ADDRESSING SIMILAR PROBLEM AND AS OF 23RD SEPTEMBER 2014, 1.5 MILLION (1512107) VEHICLES HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUE.THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER IS R89 AND THE RECALL WAS PLACED ON AUGUST 27TH 2011, FOR HONDA ACCORDS 2005-2010 FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK MY CAR TO, GROSSINGER HONDA, MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED ALTHOUGH FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL. DTC CODES WERE P0741, P0746, AND P0777. HONDA OPENED A CASE AND GAVE ME A CASE NO:N012014-09-22-02450. MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED FROM THIS RECALL AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR ISN'T ONE? I STRONGLY FEEL THAT MY CASE IS GENUINE AND WITH REFERENCE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V395000, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS RECALL BY AMERICAN HONDA .

DRIVING TO WORK IN SOMEWHAT HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN I APPROACHED A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING TO REDLINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD AGAIN. I WAS VERY NEARLY REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AS THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, AND SUDDENLY THE GEAR ENGAGED AGAIN AND I WAS ON MY WAY. WHILE SLOWING DOWN FURTHER ON IN MY DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN PULSING AND SURGING AS I SLOWED NEARLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I BACKED OFF FROM THE TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST TO WORK WHEN I APPROACHED ANOTHER HILL. THIS TIME THE ENGINE AGAIN RACED TO REDLINE AND I PULLED TO SHOULDER AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN. I WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE FINE AGAIN. I DROVE THE HALF MILE TO WORK AND IMMEDIATELY SETUP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALER BY KEEPING THE DRIVE SELECT IN 3RD AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A FAILED 2ND GEAR LEAVING ME TO FOOT THE BILL FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AT OVER $5000. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY WIFE AND I AS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND HOPEFUL THAT HONDA WILL HELP TO COVER PART OF THE REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHEN IT LOST POWER AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD WITH 75K ON THE ODOMETER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY CAR LOST POWER FROM THE ENGINE. THE RPM'S WENT HIGHER BUT THERE WAS NO POWER EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ON THE DASH TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING EXCEPT FOR THE RPM GAUGE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY DISENGAGED JUST AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN 'DRIVE'. THE SCARIEST PART WAS THAT I WAS STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT NIGHT DURING A RAINSTORM AND THERE WERE NO VISIBLE WARNINGS TO OBSERVE OTHER THAN THE TACHOMETER AND SOUND OF THE ENGINE REVVING UP. I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO FAIL PREMATURELY DUE TO OVERHEATED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A HIGH COST.
