Unfortunately, there are many drivers who don't feel much while driving, including a flat tire. You've seen them along the highway when they finally pull over because the tire came off the rim.

| A recent 350 mile round trip had my wife questioning if my transmission was slipping. I reminded her that once again she was perceiving the imperceptible, at least as advertised by Honda. I do not consider her a person who is in tune to the driving experience, her Mazda Protege frequently has tires 7-10 pounds under inflated and would remain that way if not for my watchful eye. While I've grown accustomed to the drive-line shudder that is VCM, at least in my iteration, there are times that it can be quite noticeable, particularly now with the colder New England temperatures. The upside is that I got 28 MPG. Not bad for a car that was full of gear, both trunk and back seat, with 275 hwy miles up to 80 mph and 75 miles stop & go, rural mix. Bear in mind that other cars of this size will get equal and slightly better mileage using a 6 speed auto tranny and not have the feeling associated with VCM. | |

Replying to: pat (Dec 01, 2009 7:30 am) So by this logic the posters who repeatedly post the same complaint regarding VCM over and over are deemed to have exhausted their opinions as well correct ? Some of these posters no longer even own a Honda product. At what point are these posters who have beaten their points to death told to "feel free to move on" ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Replying to: accordguy0325 (Dec 01, 2009 6:50 pm) It is not necessary for people who believe that VCM issues do not exist to keep saying that over and over here in this discussion. The issues clearly do exist for some people. Those who don't believe that the issues exist and who have made that clear over a vast number of posts do indeed need to feel free to move on to other subjects. |

Replying to: wisalesman (Dec 01, 2009 7:05 pm) If Honda hasn't, is there an aftermarket company that provides computer chips or alterations to effect that end. Someone out there is enough of a geek that surely they could try the altered programming and then rewrite the origional programming back. It's a shame to have to wait through the 36000 mile warranty period before being free to try a test like that. |
