#134 of 2183 Re: More VCM complaints found... [holew] by golfrski Nov 18, 2007 (6:00 am)
Replying to: holew (Nov 18, 2007 12:29 am) In fact I have as a result of a PLAN B approach. I did not find the road noise at cruising speeds to be as objectionable. The 4 cyl of course drives MUCH diff, there is no comparison in power feel of course 190hp vs 268 but my thought about the 3cyl shutter noise comes from comparing to the 4cyl not having the same low freq vibrations..

Replying to: holew (Nov 18, 2007 12:36 am) Here is my opinion on this... and by no means do I feel like I am the resident-accord-brainiac however, I have owned 6 of them and like to think I get it. I really cant recall ANY major concerns with Honda in 20 years as a customer until now.   ECO-Light... why why why why?? I dont need to know. I dont care. Make it invisible and transparent to me as the driver and let me see the diff in pocket book, the ECO light is a novelty gimmick. If it were REALLY meant to help the driver understand how "Green" he/she was then tell me the cyl mode I'm in 6-4-3. Otherwise get rid of the dummy light that only draws attention to the fact that "something" is happening to my car as I drive down the road. Look,, everyone know that the average driver see's a dummy light come on/pop up "check engine" or the like and that means problem. I stick with my prediction that Honda will remove this light.. watch you'll see. It s a placebo in the purest form, Replies to this message: robertsmx (Nov 18, 2007 8:51 am) golfrski (Nov 18, 2007 9:45 am) elroy5 (Nov 18, 2007 9:59 am) and 1 more... robertsmx (Nov 18, 2007 10:41 am)

Replying to: blackexv6 (Nov 18, 2007 4:07 am) The current ANC feature (while it may reduce whats there), does not "eliminate the 3 cyl operation noise. There are many interesting points of the advertisements about this car. ANC, VCM. Active Motor Mounts, Comfort. Dont get me wrong. I like the car in general but need to point out the professional reviewer and Honda's not so clear marketing based on my personal experience and those of many forum posters across the net today.

It is an even better idea than having a trip computer that shows fuel consumption. Both features can help a driver learn a lot about improving fuel economy and adjust driving style. I never thought about it until about 7-8 months ago. Since then, the mileage in my TL has gone up by 10%.

Replying to: robertsmx (Nov 18, 2007 8:51 am) I am glad that you find this feature useful but for the "average" driver, the ECO indicator (not function in which it is indicating), is a novelty plain and simple.

Replying to: golfrski (Nov 18, 2007 9:45 am) I think you need to get into your head that the light is not a "warning" light. If you are so bothered by the light, you could always put something to cover it. You seem to be so preoccupied by this light, I fear it could be taking some of your attention from the road ahead of you, which could be unsafe. I certainly hope you get the problem solved, what ever it takes to accomplish it. Good luck with your car, and I hope you will become compatible with it at some point in your ownership experience. The sooner, the better. Replies to this message: golfrski (Nov 18, 2007 11:12 am)

Replying to: golfrski (Nov 18, 2007 9:45 am) Until you figure out the idea behind it, much less figure out to use it to your advantage.

Replying to: elroy5 (Nov 18, 2007 9:59 am) Thanks, not pre-occupied rather pointing out a comparison.
#142 of 2183 VCM UPDATE by golfrski Nov 20, 2007 (3:05 pm)
2 new balanced tires continue to run smooth, vibration is still felt from the rear. vibration occurs at 60-70mph and vcm remains noticeable in cruising speeds. City driving remains fun and nimble at lower speeds. ANC does not seem to "eliminate" 3cyl harmonics at higher speeds. overdrive or downshifting-like results seem to be the best explanation for the VCM operation. Honda service still evaluating.....
