You are in the Honda Accord Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I have owned my 2009 V6 Accord for several months and 2000 miles and the VCM system makes the car seems schizophrenic. With or without the cruise being on the engine can't decide whether it wants to be a 6, 4, 3 cylinder and each time it changes you can feel the lag or surge. I have call the Honda Customer Care number 800-999-1009 filed a complaint. I have owned seven Honda’s over the years and as much as I like all the rest of this car I leave it home on long drives and that our CRV. I have read many complaints on many different websites and I suggest to all of you, please take your complaint up with Honda where if enough of us complain then maybe they will fix the issue. To me this can be corrected by a computer upgrade. The chips on the computer board can be alter if need be. When enough of us make it clear to Honda that this is not expectable than maybe we will see action! To spend $30K and not enjoy the car is very sad and for sure will make me think outside of Honda next time. I am very honest with anyone who asks me about the Accord. Okay enough said, please call the number above!

She said she loves it except for the surging that occurs from time to time. It's her first Honda and she just racks it up to that's the way the car is. We have decided that if we get the 09 Accord it will be a 4 cylinder. Even though the number of buyers complaining may not make up a large group, there obviously is something wrong. BTW, in the NY Times Sunday it said there was a TSB on the power steering pump on 07 CRV's. If yours is an 07, be aware of it.

I plan to buy in the next week and had narrowed my choices to 3 cars, one of which was the Accord V6. After reading this forum, I am no longer considering the Accord. I know it doesn't help those who are already having problems, but it stopped me from making a mistake and maybe Honda will pay more attention if buyers like myself start staying away because of this problem.

I have replied to several postings about this problem and wanted to post here to everyone. I have reported this to Honda's Customer Care department and have requested a Case # so I can add to it in the future. Honda is aware of the issue but doesn't have a fix in the works as I write here. They agreed with me that if many Honda customers filed a compliant like I did they would have to address it and work on a fix. They said only a handful have called in. So please take the complaint to the place something can be done about it, HONDA. We can all post here and other sites but we must all take the time to go to HONDA where they will be forced to fix this issue when enough of us complain. I just spoke with Honda and they confirmed that we can't send them emails or refer to someone elses Case # but each person must open their own Case # and the subject of VCM will show on their database. That way they will know how many VCM issues have been called in. So please call 1-800-999-1009 and tell them you want Honda to fix this issue. Thank You.
