Re: Harmonic Drone Fix, Reset ANC [jbo3]
This seems to work very well, but it's only short term because the device seems to reset and turn back on when the engine goes off. It's easy enough to do over and over, but the buzz for the 60-90 sec can drive you nuts. I found a more permanent fix. The link is http://www.justanswer.com/honda/1bymn-causes-motorboat-noise-2005-honda-accord-h- - - ybrid.html. I think this fix is basically doing a permanent grounding from the dome ... Read More

Re: 2005 Honda Accord Harmonic Drone/Noise [jayngee]
I bought my son's 2005 Accord Hybrid last year and began noticing the "drone" in a few months. Now in the summer it is unbearable! through the forum, I found out what it is, downloaded the Service bulletin and took it to the dealer. Luckily, they were able to hear it on a test drive. Estimate to fix $650! It's out of warranty- 46,000 and I just spent $400 for a ... Read More

Accord vs. Kia Optima
Currently selling my 2005 Honda CR-V LX AWD AT with 58,000 miles. Is $12,500 about what I should get selling on my own? Thinking of going back to car. Looking at Accord and Kia Optima. Any thoughts to lead me either way? Might even consider Civic LX or EX. Any pricing in NJ for each car?

I have a 2005 Accord LX 4 cylinder with the 5-speed automatic. It only has 30,000 miles on it. I had the recall done in fall regarding the transmission programming. Now I'm noticing every time the temperature is below freezing, the first shift from 1st to 2nd gear is very sluggish. It's not a slip, but it's an uncomfortable sluggishness.

Re: Honda Accord Radio (2005) does not work [torim11]
In my 07 accord ex coupe, the six disc changer started skipping madly. I had a professional installer disconnect it, and put in an Alpine single disc w/ipod connection. It sounds great except that the OE microwave antenna is crappy. I'm still thinking about getting a mast antenna installed.

Re: 2005 vs 2006 -- which to pick? [amy911]
I have an '05 Accord 5 speed EX-L. This is the first car that I have followed Honda's recommended service to the letter and then some. I have 107,000 trouble free miles. I believe that when you keep it serviced like they recommend that you keep it in top operating condition and that it will pay off. I really don't consider that I have wasted money on that.

After I saw the new 2012 Civic four door, I posted a comment in that forum about Honda's lousy designs. I was "blasted" for saying anything negative about Honda.

Around 200k, my '93 Accord started balking at quick shifts into 3rd, but double-clutching did the trick when necessary. In 2006, I jumped ship and bought my first non-Honda vehicle, a ... Read More

* 2005 Accord EX-L, Upgrade to 2006 Acura TL *
I have an '05 Accord EX-L that I bought new at PS Honda in Long Island, NY (4cyl, 4 dr auto, desert mist color, no navigation) which has only 23K miles. Ive always liked the style of the previous generation ('04-'08) Acura TL, and was thinking of trading in my Accord for an '06 TL, white color preferred. Ive checked some TL's online that are available, though the prices seem a ... Read More

First question: what is the difference between a primary and the secondary (rear) oxygen sensor? Second question: how do I know if my engine is a CA standard one? the car was sold originally in NC, it says it is a LEV but under the ... Read More

Re: Obama's tough fuel economy standards [hackattack5]
Honda has been putting the VCM engine in their cars since 2003 so I am not sure what Obama has to do with the VCM. I hope the other auto makers can learn from Honda's mistake because Honda surely did not learn from GM's mistake when they tried the same thing in the 80's Honda has had few compalints that I know of from owners of the Pilot and Odyssey with ...

That's it, a bullet proof car. The dealer is giving me $6,800 in trade on a 2010 EX which I am buying because of the incredible reliability of the 2005. If I sold it privately, I would ... Read More

Re: automatic transmissions problem [rcummelin]
FWIW, none of our other recent Honda V6s (2005 & 2008 Odysseys & a 2008 Ridgeline) had the hesitation during accelleration, but ALL of them had the noticeable downshift when slowing. We also have a 2006 Odyssey. It does not do this. Well, if you really pay attention, you may feel a little when up- or down-shifting. In fact we bought the Accord based on our good experience with the Odyssey. ... Read More

Re: automatic transmissions problem [tickeller]
I've just got a 2010 EX-L V6. The car hesitates around 20-25 mph when speeding up from a lower speed or slowing down from a higher speed. We bought our 2010 EX-L V6 Accord in January and I have noticed something similar. Under sharp accelleration from about 20-25 mph, there is always a noticeable hesitation/bog before the car lunges forward. If I accellerate slowly, no hesitation. Maybe I should stop trying ...

What do you like about the Fusion Sport? I recently purchased a 2008 Ford Fusion SEL with the V6. I had been driving a 2005 Honda Accord. We bought it as an extra car.

Re: A Choice Maybe? [mrbill1957]
I currently own a 2005 Honda Accord and a 2009 Honda Civic SI. Prior to the 2009 Civic, I had a 2006 Civic. The 2006 model Civics had trouble with the rear suspension. At 65,000 when the Honda dealer noticed a problem, they agreed, after pressure, to pay one-half of the cost. In contrast, I have a 2007 Ford F-150. At 20,000 the rotors were warped in the rear.

Re: A Choice Maybe? [accordguy0325]

Brake Problems
This forum is driving me away from trading for a new Accord. I have a 2005 EX-L with 95,000 miles. I replaced the rear pads at 85,000 and the dealer says that the front have plenty of wear left. Having problems with brakes that soon is ridiculous. What has happened to Honda?

Re: 2010 Accord Transmission [dochundley]
Honda transmissions have been downshifting as you described for at least FIVE years that I'm aware of. Our 2005 and 2008 Odysseys both did it, and our 2008 Ridgeline does it too. It's part of how Hondas work, so you may as weel get used to it.

Re: Honda Oil Usage [bob324]
This is not normal based on my Honda. I have a 2005 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder, with 95,000 miles. I change the oil every 5,000 miles. The oil does not move on the stick. I will say that if this were one of the big three, and the car new, that they would not consider that excessive.

Re: 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid IMA batteries [viet]
Based on my experience with other Honda batteries, I expect it to last an average of 7 years if the car is driven frequently, and three years if driven infrequently. Mileage has nothing to do with the longevity.

Re: 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid IMA batteries [Ogre_GEV]

Remember that the battery is functionally identical to the Civic battery. There is quite a bit of discussion in the Civic Hybrid forum.

Re: 2005 Honda Accord DX - buy or not ? [tallman1]

Re: 2005 Honda Accord DX - buy or not ? [bav_fan07]
Well its just an opinion, relatively speaking. You picked out one year (2003) but the generation, as a whole, is pretty solid. And from 2003, transmissions were the biggest issue so that skews things a bit.

Re: 2005 Honda Accord DX - buy or not ? [tallman1]
Well its just an opinion, relatively speaking. Check out www.carcomplaints.com http://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Accord/2003/ Again I am just using this as an example. Honda is or was supposed to be known for its quality. Relatively speaking, I do think Honda's quality has dropped a bit. Perhaps Honda suffered what most manufacturers suffer on a new release with a new generation. The first year of a new generation is generally the problematic one while the ... Read More

Re: 2005 Honda Accord DX - buy or not ? [bav_fan07]
Well, I guess it is my turn to join the crowd. Even if I wasn't extremely happy with my EX-L w/Navi, I4 manual (I am, BTW), I can't remember reading any wholesale complaints about this generation. There were some issues, as with all cars, but never to the point that the whole generation was a dog.

Re: 2005 Honda Accord DX - buy or not ? [bav_fan07]
The previous generation (2003-2006) was probably one of the worst generations of Accords in years. I would like to know what is wrong with my 03 Accord? That is not apparent to me.

Re: 2005 Honda Accord DX - buy or not ? [nrcanada]
It's hit or miss. Honda's quality is no where near what it used to be. Honda is living off "word of mouth" and loyal customers from the past. If you go to many car complaint websites, you'll see that there are more Honda complaints compared to many other manufacturers. The previous generation (2003-2006) was probably one of the worst generations of Accords in years. Honda seriously needs to look at themselves ... Read More

It costed some $650 and it was paid off by my extended warranty. This ... Read More
