This may not be the same problem, but once I had a flat and used the Honda supplied tire inflater. When the dealer repaired the tire with a plug, they did not clean out the "goo". The car had a terrible noise and shudder at certain speeds until this was realized and fixed.

The hybrid has cylinder deactivation which causes the engine to be a little louder. To counter this noise they may use noise cancelling through the stereo. The noise could be a defect in the active noise cancellation.
 
Try pulling the fuse for the stereo and see if that makes a difference - just turning it off may not do the trick as it may still run the noise cancellation.
 
People have had this problem with the Odyssey EX which does have noise cancellation.

Check out the ANC by citywolf

This problem has been described on other websites too-- such as greenhybrid.com. You should take it to the dealer and get them to check out the ANC and maybe even replace the system. there is a technical service bulletin on the HAH for this issue.

The Edge of Outright Fraud by nolachuck

Fraud is perhaps too strong a word to describe my judgment about my Honda Accord Hybrid after a little more than a year of ownership. Willful deception and gross misrepresentation is closer to the mark. My Honda is an '06 Hybrid with navigation. I've logged more than 45,000 miles in one year and my gas mileage has been very, very disappointing. Last fall, Honda recalled the vehicle for a computer "fix." Since that service call, I've been getting six to seven miles LESS per gallon than originally. Based on everything I read, Honda has laid a giant egg with this vehicle. It's as if Honda service departments, however, want their "problem" to go away. This vehicle has shattered my confidence in Honda. We have had three previous Honda vehicles and an Accura in our family, but this will be the end of our allegiance to Honda. This vehicle should be totally recalled by the factory. It's an embarrassment for Honda.

That's why they are sitting on the lots. Honda will probably have a 50% off sale on hybrid Accords just to get rid of them.
 
I hope you at least got some tax credit.

Transmission and speed sensor Problems by fxtool

My 05 HAH's check engine light came on 6 weeks ago. Took it in and was told that speed sensor was bad. Replaced speed sensor, and check engine light came on again. Dealer decided to replace the transmission. Today the check engine light came on. Took it to a different dealer near where I was, and he told me it was the speed sensor again.
 
I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem? I've almost had it with this car.

I bought an 2005 Accord Hybrid in early 2005 and now have just over 38,000 miles on the odometer. My driving mix is about 60% highway and 40% city. I'm a deliberate driver with smooth throttle inputs and drive near 65 mph on highway trips. I checked my odometer a number of times using highway mile markers and found it 1.25% fast. I've used part-synthetic oil and also installed a K&N air filter. The car has been through a tough winter this year and about two months when I first purchased it. City driving has averaged between 23 and 28 mpg, depending on weather. Highway driving has averaged between 39 and 42 mpg. Overall, my average has been just under 35 mpg. Drive a hybrid with care and it will deliver great mileage. Drive it like most wasteful Americans and it will deliver crummy mileage. Only problem so far has been a defective left-side outside mirror, replaced under warrantly. I am not an old-maid-like driver. I took the Accord to the local dragway where it ran a best 15.14 just under 94 mph. Again, drive with care and consideration, and this hybrid delivers great fuel mileage.

Success? by willis3

This thread appears to be a bit stagnate, just wondering if the Hybrid Accord Owners here are having a more satisfactory experience.
 
I am considering the purchase of this car.

Not much reason to buy one over the other Accords other than raw acceleration. There's no significant fuel savings, they cost more and they sacrifice trunk space. Those are reasons why they haven't been selling.
