If a wheel weight has fallen off, it'll give a pretty good vibration at those speeds.
Where is Freeport anyway?

No, Absolutely no, it is not a wheel balance problem. The Honda Service manager at first they also thought it might be a problem with the wheels. They put four new ties then went on the test drive with me on the hoghway and it did not eliminate the vibration so they change the four tires back.
There are a lot of the people out there who does not drive on the highway often and if they are on the highway they do not drive around 55 to 62 mph so they have not realize they might have the vibration problem.
This is the reason I advice to all of you, do not take a chance with Honda, Go to Toyota or Nissan Moytor, They will responsible companies.

You are assuming this is a widespread problem and you are also assuming that Toyota and Nissan never have any sort of problems with any of their cars.
I was in a V-6 Accord today on the highway and I, once again, made an effort to hear or feel this...nothing. My customer loved the car and made no comments about anything adverse either.
Again, I'm sorry you are this unhappy with your Honda but, please, don't try to steer people away from a great car when they will probably not be affected by this.

In your profile, it says CA and I assumed it meant California. I'm from CA and I had never heard of that town...thanks!

Look - I realize this is a public board and you can say what you want within the rules. But telling someone that their issue will "probably" not affect others and to stop "steering people away" is unfair. I realize you are a Honda employee but you lost credibility long ago with the "I have never heard of any issues with the VCM" statement (or something to that affect - and yes you and I have had this "chat" before). I can give you 2 MAJOR dealers on the East coast that deal with this everyday. You saying that every car out of your dealership has never been returned with one VCM compliant, and further, that no one in the service dept has ever heard of a thing regarding the VCM issue is false. You stated months ago that you asked them about it, so they have at least heard it from you months ago. It makes me wonder if you are not a Honda Corporate employee trying to do a little CYA? STOP minimizing the VCM issues we have had with this car. You (and Honda corporate) are EXACTLY the reason there is a VCM issue by continuing to deny any knowledge or accept any responsbility and refusing to engineer a fix. Enough is Enough.

Ditto to sunnfun's post. I posted a month ago indicating that I had successfully prevented two sets of friends from getting near a Honda dealership. I am now proud to say that number has increased to three.
I am now at 6000 miles in the POS. (08 V-6). And no, the VCM problem did not disappear at 4-5K, as some suggested it might. Just returned my online owner's survey. Wow...that was fun! My first and last Honda. Unfortunately, we now live in a world where fessing up and fixing your mess is a thing of the past. Why would a customer going through this blatantly obvious VCM problem say to a friend: "Mine is a piece of crap, but I think you should go and buy one, too"? The bottom line is that Honda knows about this, privately acknowledges it, and has made a corporate decision to ignore it. There is your bottom line, isellhondas.

Once again, I don't doubt that some of you detect what to you is a problem and it may be a problem. I'm not questioning that.
It just seems odd (to me) that the ONLY place I have heard anything about this is right here.
Of course, I'm sure nobody believes me.

I have posted on this site a number of times that it is good to let others know about the VCM here and every other place we can find but the most important place to complain is with HONDA. If everyone of us here who knows this problem is real and a $30,000 dollar pain is the (you know what) would take the time and complain to HONDA we might be able to get them to fix it. I can't tell you the number of folks I have told to stay away from Honda. The fact Honda isn't doing something, anything really has turned me off from this product. GO COMPLAIN TO HONDA and tell them to read this site !!! Thanks again.
