The 2003 - 2005 Accord CD/Radio unit is prone to display failure. Honda
had issued a TSB some years back but you may be beyond the warranty
period. We repair this display issue. Check it out: www.autoclockrepair.com
Do you mean inside the engine(timing belt)?Or do you mean tensioner belt which is attached to a/c,alternator,fan etc.?If you mean tensioner belt(which seems more like what you are asking),then it just needs to be inspected periodically.If there are frays,knicks,or cracks,then it needs changing.They may have a requirement,I am not sure,but when companies have set scheduling like 30K,or 50K mile checkup,it is more likely to require inspection to determine replacement needs,rather than a definitely change at such and such miles.Good luck!
The exact same thing just happened to me yesterday on a seven hour road trip from Atlanta. I have a manual V6 Ex four door, and I had to turn the car off and back on and allow the car to start with momentum while still driving for over three hours just to keep from have to rent a car and avoid a tow.
I have 58,000 miles on my 2006 accord, and I feel that I really got bit with purchasing this car. I almost got screwed with the third gear blow-out situation that Honda hid from buyers, but I caught mines while under warranty; still, I'm holding it against them with the next car purchase.
This was suppose to be my traveling car when I retired, and I keep a second car to "save" this car from city driving, and it is primarily used for these kinds of road trips of night driving through the mountains in the middle of the night.
I've had three Honda in a row with no issues at all, but luckily, I'm a fair weather fan, and I'll stick with a brand whether they "win or win"... and Honda isn't winning in my book, so I'm abandoning them whether it is covered under warranty or not.
Yes, I always do the same thing when I buy a new vehicle that way I keep track of it and know exactly when it was done. first buy a new air filter, new fuel filter, new spark plugs, and maybe plug wires. check all belts and hoses. and change oil and filter. these things will pay for themselves. have fun. Wow a 91' with only 60,000 miles that's amazing. I've got 178,000 on my 93' accord lx and it's still running perfect!!
Horsecrap...go to an independent transmission dealer after you call the extended warranty folks and complain! I can count the number of Honda transmissions that go bad before 300,000 miles on one hand. Good Luck
Take it to a Honda Dealer, if it is out of warranty coverage, they will have to have it sent out for repair. May cost between $250 to $350, plus tech labor ro remove and reinstall.
If you have a "Honda Care" extended service (warranty) contract, they fix it for much cheaper.
there is a warranty extension on the wiper motors for your year model unless you have too manny miles on ypur car to qualify. Check with your local dealer first because this can be difficult and expensive and you might be able to get it done for free
