Go drive a V6 Accord and judge for yourself. I'm very happy that I went with the v6 over the I4. My 2008 v6 has no issues and the smooth power of the 6 is well worth it.

Replying to: stevecar (Dec 22, 2008 8:59 am) I have no doubts that the problem does exist. I don't begrudge those with the problem fuming and expressing it loudly here. I would do the same thing. Honda's cavalier attitude would send me off the edge most though. Nonetheless, why write the car off if most are fine in this regard, which appears to be the case? As I said, I had the same reservations as you, but now am happy I chose the Accord.

Replying to: stevecar (Dec 23, 2008 9:21 am) So, with lumbar support in the seats deflated, off we went. It was early Saturday morning and we drove mainly on a section of freeway I knew wouldn't be crowded that time of day. I had with me a list of speeds that were listed as problematic and tested the car at these speeds, with and without cruise control being engaged, over and over. Honestly, except for the green VCM light flashing on and off on the dash, I didn't notice much, if anything, certainly not anything that I would find annoying. We returned and I bought my Accord. |

Replying to: stevecar (Dec 22, 2008 8:59 am) We went to Nissan and bought a Nissan Murano. It gave us good milage . The service is great. I felt we should have swtch to Nissan Motor earlier. To those who are ready to purchase another car please make sure you test drive on the high way to make it do not have vibration around 60 mph. (the engine skips fire causing the vibration).

Replying to: jhinsc (Dec 23, 2008 11:42 am) The vibration and noise has become more pronounced on my car now that it has 10,000 miles. Threre are times when driving around town, particularly on hilly roads, that the car is just outright annoying as the engine changes back and forth the number of cylinders that are misfiring and the transmission tries to adjust with the engine and terrain. I'd take back my 2003 Accord in a minute. While the 2008 Accord is a good looking car, I woulnd't buy or lease one now that I've experienced the problems. The other problem that is less reported but growing is the number of drivers complaining about the sound of gas sloshing in the tank.
