I am not sure how long you've had your car or how often you use the knob, but this being an 08 it can't be more than 10 months. It dose not sound right. I bought mine last December and use the knob all the time, no problem yet.

Brand new 2008 accord vibrations at idle?? Help!

Ok I didnt have any luck elsewhere so I'll try this forum!
I just bought a brand new 2008 accord (EX-L V6) 2 days back and maybe i didnt pay close attn to this but I feel the car vibrates too much (low frequency vibrations) when at idle (in park, neutral or D). I love the car but this problem is really bugging me. When idling in D on a traffic light, I can even see the seat vibrating when observed carefully. Heck, even my 97 altima doesnt vibrate that much when idle!
Anyone else noticed the same? I will be calling the dealer and setting up an appointment to check it out. Any inputs will be appreciated.

The car should not vibrate. Get the dealer to check it.

Recently purchased a 2008 Accord Sedan. Am having intermittent A/C problem where blows cool one moment, then blows outside warm air before returning back to cold again. This occurs on all A/C settings, and car has less than 2,000 miles on it. Anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help?

Pretty sure if you read the other existing Honda forums, you'll see that is as designed. AC compressor clutch is turned off when power is needed, or if I remember reading correctly at idle. I also think it's mentioned in the manual.

I have the same vehicle and haven't experienced vibration to the level that you are describing. Having said that I don't feel that the larger displacement 3.5 idles as smoothly as the 3 liter did. As the average family sedan has grown in size and weight they've taken engines that were really in their comfort zone  3 liters and increased their displacement to gain torque and hp and lost some of the refinement they originally had. With today's engine control modules hard at work to keep tail pipe emissions as low as possible we have cars idling 750 rpm and occasionally lower and doing so idling relatively smoothly when not so long ago they would surge and stall at such a low rpm. At what RPM does your 97 Altima idle at? I would venture a guess that it is 150-250 rpm higher then your new Accord. This might be an apples & oranges comparison as your Altima has a four cylinder engine which usually idle higher speeds. As elroy suggested best get it looked at.

I usually leave my AC on 68-70 deg on the Auto setting. After sitting in the sun all day when I first leave work it blows quite hard and runs with the yellow recirculate light on so after a few minutes it's recirculating already "conditioned air" which is now very dry. Once the temperature has moderated the recirculate light will go out and now it is conditioning outside, generally more humid air, which doesn't feel as cool. I can usually tell when this happens because of the denser air presence in the cabin and depending on how humid the outside air is, you can usually smell the difference in the air quality.

actually i think they both idle at around 5-600 rpm, if anything the altima idles at lesser rpm (weird). I have an appointment scheduled for the dealer to have a look at it but isnt this a function of the engine mounts in any way? is there any chance that the engine mount on my car particularly is screwed up and is not dampening the vibrations?

If I remember correctly, there was a service bulletin about motor mount adjustments, to correct vibration issues on the previous Accord. I suppose it could be a similar fix. Engine mounts are expected to do a lot these days. It's not a simple bolt through a rubber bushing anymore.
