In order to make the original and highly popular “Honda Accord Owners: Problems and Solutions” forum more manageable, we are dividing that forum into “Accord generations”.
 
Please make sure you are in the right generation for your Accord, and then post your questions concerning any maintenance or repair item.
 
Thank you again for helping to make the Accord forums so great here at Edmunds!

Thanks for splitting the Problems Forums into Accord Generations. Great suggestion.
 
Has anybody tinted the windows? I want to tint rear doors and back window. I will have a professional do it. Any ideas on how dark to go? Any problems with tinting on the Accord. I have an 05.
Thanks in advance.

I also recently bought a 2006 Accord with automatic V6 engine and have found that the shifting of the transmission is fairly noticeable and annoying at around 20 to 25 mph both when letting off the accelerator and when gradually applying the accelerator. If I accelerate moderately (or strongly), it's not as noticeable.
 
I have also noticed a vibration in the gas pedal at lower city speeds and a pull to the left when driving over 40 mph.
 
Anyone have ideas as to if these are common problems?
 
Thanks. Great split on the form BTW.

This is a great idea. It will make it much easier to deal with issues pertaining to our specific generation of Accord. How do we get to the archive of the old forum? There is a lot of valuable in that forum that is now gone.

Seems to me from my OWN experience, with an '05 bought in August, and reading stuff here, that IT IS COMMON.
 
It seems that Honda has ALWAYS had issues with its transmission. It's been ALWAYS shifting more roughly than some other cars (its archrival Camry, for instance), though comparing my new '05 to my old '95 (both V6), there is quite an improvement...
 
And yes, I have also noticed some slight vibration at low speed, sometimes....
 
Pull to the left? That needs to be addressed by your dealer. But before that, have you checked your tires' air pressure?
