general problems of the 2005 Honda Accord

On several occasions my 05 Accord coupe will stay accelerated when brakes are pressed, in neutral, or releasing the accelerater. On several occasions I have pressed the brake only to not slow down. Thankfully I was on open highway. This has happened and continues to happen on city streets and highways. At low speeds and high.

Engine stalled multiple times while driving (at various speeds) and almost caused crash. Vehicle sometimes will not start, idles erratically while running or while driving, or stalls without warning while driving. Apparently there is a recall for this issue on other 2005 Honda Accords however when I look up my vehicle's VIN, there is no recall. I called Honda and they too said there is no coverage for this repair as my vehicle is not included in the recall.

Similar issue as report 10659813. The airbag/seatbelt light above the gas gauge randomly stays lit. Doesn't happen each time the vehicle is used, and occurs more in cold weather than warm. Dealer has been notified several times and each time states that they could not do anything unless we brought the vehicle to them while the light was on. This situation does not happen consistently enough to allow us to take it to a dealer when the light is on. Also speed control does not work!.

My power steering pressure line is leaking, also reservoir leaks and steering always whines and its full of fluid. Leaks on my driveway. When its stationary it leaks and when in motion it whines.

Vehicle jerks changing into gears revs high when driving and jerks will all of a sudden cease to drive turning off vehicle and back on seems to clear condition but comes back.

I was driving on the highway and I when I removed my foot from the accelerator pedal the car kept up the same speed. I put my foot on the brake and it did not slow the car. I downshifted all the way down to first gear yet was unable to slow the car. I finally turned off the engine and was able to stop the car on the side of the highway. I had to go through a red light and fortunately there was no cross traffic. No accident occurred in this incident but there were four of us in the car. I had the car towed to my mechanic and he determined that the cause was the throttle body assembly failure. It is now repaired.

When I turn on my car it's like some is pressing the gas on its own and it's harder to break also when I'm on idle. But when let go of the break the car launches in front as if I was pressing the gas wen I'm only letting go of the gas pedal.

I was leaving a store on hull st. And my car was at about 40 mph and all of a sudden stopped moving and I felt that it was something bad so I cut the car off and restarted my car and it started up nicely once I switched gears from park to reverse the car didn't move. So I went to put car into park and there was a really loud noise which scared me crazy. I cut the car back off and it began to roll backwards in the park gear so I had to put the car emergency break on to keep in place. Monday morning which I'd today I get my car towed to aamco and they diagnostic my car as a shaft failure which had broken which caused the car to make the loud noise when placed in the park gear and the car doesn't realize which gear it's in because it is broken inside the transmission.

Was driving on highway in traffic and car would not shift gears, car was jumping forward and would not accelerate as traffic sped up. Was able to get car off the highway, but got stuck at a red light, when attempting to accelerate forward, car went backwards.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while slowing down to approximately 5 mph, there was a sudden increase of engine rpms. The driver was able to park the vehicle. However, the shifter became stuck and could not be switched out of the park position. After approximately 3 minutes, the rpms reduced and the driver was able the change the shifter. The vehicle was not diagnose or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,000.

Since I have owned this vehicle (bought used with 68,000 miles) it has had an issue that over 10 mechanics have not yet solved. It has slowly escalated to the point it is now unable to be driven at 250,000 miles. It is an idle issue, the car started revving up to around 3,000 rpm’s (on hot days it seemed but it also started to happen in the winter ) whenever I would put the car into park after driving it a small amount of time. The safety mechanism would kick in on the vehicle making it impossible to put back into gear and I would be forced to shut the car off and let it rest for around 30 minutes before it would start without immediately revving up to the red line again. I’ve replaced everything that every mechanic has told me that it could be. Even tried to replace almost everything all at once. Over time this issue began to get extremely worse and the vehicle would start to accelerate on its own to the point I almost crashed it three different times because I would be unable to slow the vehicle down coming to a stop sign and I’d have to throw the e brake on while pressing the main brake system. Afterwards I’d have to quickly find a parking spot and shut the car off due to the damage I felt like the engine was taking. Then it seemed like possibly an electrical issue because the power would drain overnight and the car wouldn’t start without a jump even after replacing the starter, alternator, battery, etc. I’ll end by saying now when I can get the car started, the last time that I drove it, it had the same issue of accelerating on its own and the rpm’s increasing to around 2,500 or 3,000 or even more at times and felt as if the automatic transmission was missing or slipping gears and the car would almost stall out and shake violently as if you were driving a manual transmission and it was the moment right before you killed the engine. The last time I drove it I had to pull over at a gas station and call someone to come pick me up and pull the car home.

Car details: - 05 Accord se coupe with ~65k miles (automatic transmission, 4 cylinder) recently, I have noticed that the car will not accelerate even when I keep pushing the gas pedal. Typically happens at around 50 to 60 mph marker (the mph needle will just stall at one location and not move). I have to tap the brake lightly a couple of times or let the car coast down without giving it any gas (it kind of releases whatever is holding the car from accelerating and releases the mph needle). I then accelerate the car again and it will go higher than 60 mph. Keeps happening often (not every time though). My gas mileage is lower which confirms that something is happening. This is a serious safety issue on highways. I am not sure if this is related to all the transmission failure issues that Honda Accords continue to see on models manufactured in the mid 2000s.

Tl - the contact owns a 2005 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 3 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently.

I was at the wheel of my 2005 Honda Accord, slowly easing it in to a parking spot in a public parking garage when the car suddenly lurched forward, hitting the concrete wall. I put my foot firmly on the brake, put the car into reverse and attempted to back the car up a few inches to see what damage had been done. When I lifted my foot from the brake, the car suddenly and uncontrollably accelerated backwards at a rapid rate of speed and crashed into a concrete wall about 30 feet behind the spot. The left rear of the car was crushed inward about two feet, substantial damage was done to the entire rear, the side airbag deployed, and I sustained a number of injuries which have prevented me from returning to work three weeks after the event. My insurance company, state farm, totaled the car and is retaining it for investigation.

The contact feels that Honda is at fault and are not doing anything to correct the issue. The current mileage was 32,000 and failure mileage was 31,349.

I feel that the cold idle rpm on our car is set too high and causes the car to lurch when put in gear following a cold start. I have contacted both the manufacturer and the dealership and both say that the cold rpm setting on my car is within specifications and cannot be adjusted. There has been no failure or incident or consequences, but I feel that under certain conditions such as a cold start on an icy driveway with an inexperienced or elderly driver, there may well be a failure/incident/consequence.

I was trying to maneuver through a crowded gas station and had backed up. When I put the car into drive, it lurched forward and accelerated. Pressing the brakes as hard as I could had no effect. The only way to stop was to hit something (which ended up being cars stopped for a red light, but it could easily have been a gas pump, pedestrian or personal property). My car had to be towed and is in the body shop now. I will have Honda investigate the engine.

With in the first year of owning our Honda, the clutch went out. We paid $2700 to dealership to replace the entire assembly. Ever since then the clutch or related parts such as the master cylinder goes out suddenly every 12 months.

This vehicle lurched toward and accelerated and would not stop even when the brakes were applied. We have photos showing the tire imprints on the garage floor up until it impacted with the house.

: the contact stated upon purchase of the vehicle the check engine light, the traction control light and the tcs light illuminated on the dashboard. Also, while attempting to put the vehicle in park, the drive and park lights illuminated. Upon inspection the dealership determined the sensor needed to be replaced. Four days later while pulling into the driveway the vehicle accelerated without warning and crashed through a fence and into a boulder. Although seat belts were worn and the air bags deployed, the driver and passenger sustained injuries. The vehicle was totaled. There was property damage and a police report was filed.

2005 Honda Accord experienced cold engine start and unexpected acceleration. At start up the engine would run at 1500 rpm. When placed in gear with the brake pedal depressed, the rpm would drop to 1000. Upon release of the brakes, the vehicle would begin to roll as normally expected for about 2 seconds and then the rpm would suddenly jump to 1500 and the vehicle accelerates immediately to 10mph or less. Honda suggested that this was normal.
