Replying to: ashton_n (Aug 05, 2008 11:04 am) Also, during driving, it often seems like I'm going over little speed bumps. I'm not sure if it could be the tires. I'm wondering if the tires aren't balanced properly. Finally, I notice some very heavy shifts in the transmission, usually between 2nd and 3rd, and sometimes, it's felt like it slipped a gear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's not the transmission. I only have 3,500 miles on it!!!

Replying to: rrbhokies (Aug 06, 2008 7:34 am) My 2006 Accord 2.4L 5AT also idles at 1,500 when you first start the car, with the engine cold. This is perfectly normal, as the car is idling higher to help it warm up quicker. Also, during driving, it often seems like I'm going over little speed bumps. I'm not sure if it could be the tires. I'm wondering if the tires aren't balanced properly. At all speeds? If not, roughly how fast are you going when they do this? |

Replying to: rrbhokies (Aug 06, 2008 7:34 am) As far as fast idling, my 2006 Accord 4 Cyl, 5-speed manual idles about that fast when you turn it on. That lasts about a minute. However, the idle should go down when you put the car in gear or after a minute is up. If it does not, that could be a problem. |

Here's the link: jodar96, "Honda Accord 2008 Seats" #42, 6 Aug 2008 1:19 pm. And thanks, jodar96, for the info - I'm sure it will be quite helpful to others. |

Probably the Active Engine Mounts - part of the VCM system. They may not be operating properly and insulating engine vibration from the car adequately - good luck with that one, right golfrski! |

Replying to: ashton_n (Aug 05, 2008 11:04 am) Also, as time goes on, with more miles, the transmission will brake in more, and get more smooth. I noticed the same on mine at first, then it became more smooth as I kept driving. I do know, that the newer Jetta's like the 08, rev much higher at start up, seems, and sounds weird, but calms down quickly. |

| I have a 2008 LX-P that reads 20 folders for a MP3 CD that has only 5 folders. It always reads more folders than the actual number no matter which MP3 CD that I insert. Most folders show zero files. The player will eventually advance to a folder that has files to play. Another 2008 LX-P at the Honda dealership did the same thing. A EX-L with the 6 disc in dash player read the correct number of folders and files. The same MP3 CDs will play correctly on several other MP3 players that I have tried. Honda support services says that they cannot duplicate the problem. Anyone else have this problem? Were you able to get it fixed? | |
