I need to mention that we can't use the Forums to solicit participation in class action suits. If someone wants to use their CarSpace page to post relevant information, though, that's acceptable. Hope things work out. |

But seriously, I don't think any decent attorney would want to spend their time on this one hoping for a grand reward at the end, mainly due to the fact that the number of affected V6's can nit be that high, considering they are a small % of V6's sold that are a small % of Accords sold anyhow. |

I am one of the V6 owners who has had only slight issues with the "surging" problem that has been described often on this forum. I have also felt some improvement over the 12 months that I have now owned the car. However, today driving to work, it seemed to be more pronounced again and the surging feeling reminded me of at least a couple of references made here regarding the possibility that the torque converter is disengaging and engaging. It should be noted that this surging is not necessarily linked to the ECO light turning off and on, but appears to occur somewhat randomly. I really feel the torque converter might be the actual feeling experienced. Has anyone given this theory any more thought or had this checked out? Is anyone aware of adjustments that can be made specifically to the operation of the torque converter that might rectify at least the surging feeling?

Replying to: dpmeersman (Nov 14, 2008 11:44 am) I've only had my car in twice (just for oil changes) since I've owned it so I haven't had Honda check into this issue at all, but I will suggest the torque converter theory to them next time. Again, if anyone else out there has more thoughts on this, please respond. (By the way, you'll note that I said the only two times I've had the car in for service were for regular oil changes. In this respect, my high expectations on the reliability of the car are clearly met!)

While the fit and finish on this car is attractive, the quality is not up to Honda's past vehicles. I have the misfortune of having the 2008 V6. Why Honda would screw up what was a velvet smooth engine for an engine that by design cannot help but vibrate (otherwise there wouldn't be a need for the liquid filled, computer controlled engine mounts and active noise cancellation system). It's clear that Honda is aware of the problem as they decided to not bring the engine over to the Acura TL.
