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%. |

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.....

bluecrew 1st Gear Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 2 Surging? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jkeith72, I just bought a V6 Accord sedan a few weeks back, my first Honda. I was actually thinking about taking my car to the dealer to have them do a ride along so they could feel what you are describing. When the "eco" light comes on, if I start backing out of the throttle, I feel for lack of a better term, a lunge or surge. I have tried to watch the tach, but when it surges, I do not see any changes in the rpm. Mine is pretty noticable, and not in a good way. My wife actually noticed it the other day, so you know it's more pronounced than it should be. I still may bring it in just so I can make sure this is normal. One last thing, mine seems to do this mostly at speeds in the 60-70 mph range. Thanks. From Drive Accord.com: WolfpackBill 5th Gear Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Clemmons, NC Posts: 586 It's noticeable...but very subtle. Like what Ben said, the '05 Odys' VCM is pretty noticeable. In highway cruising, you can hear the engine is running at a very low rpm. As soon as you feather the gas pedal, it would get a tad louder then the engine sounds more lively and smoother with all 6 cylinders running. What also contributes to the groaning is the ANC. The ANC puts out a very low groaning sound from the front speakers which can get quite annoying (Same feeling in the 08 Accord V6) you would think Honda would have addressed this? another one: bluecrew 1st Gear Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 2 The RPM in the 60-70 mpg range is probably in the area of 2250-2500. I do not feel it at all when all 6 cylinders are firing and the ECO light is off. It's strange cause at times when it does it, it almost feels like it's upshifting, but I know it is not, due to the lack in change of RPM's. #1 10-24-2007, 08:24 PM jkeith72 1st Gear Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Mesa, AZ Posts: 13 feel VCM? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Accord has VCM. IM torn on whether I like it or not. Can anyone else feel it engage/disengage? To me, it feels like a slight gearshift....or maybe its really a shift im feeling? I cant tell if its VCM or my mind playing tricks. Maybe someone else feels the same thing? Jason |

Replying to: golfrski (Nov 24, 2007 4:55 am) Does anyone know if Honda is aware of this or if there is a fix/adjustment that can be made? I heard a few others from my dealership that have been in already for service as a result of the same thing.
