Replying to: isellhondas (Dec 26, 2008 6:38 pm) 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.

Replying to: anthonyy (Dec 27, 2008 2:45 pm) 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.

Replying to: sunnfun (Dec 29, 2008 10:12 am) 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.

Replying to: sunnfun (Dec 29, 2008 10:12 am) I'm not trying to stick up for isell, but how do you know if your statement is true? And unless you can prove or justify it, doesn't it invalidate all your comments just like you try to invalidate isell's? The title of this forum is "Honda Accord VCM", NOT "Honda Accord VCM Problems". Everyone's opinion and experiences, good and bad, and without slamming each other, should be welcomed. I know your experience is different from the majority of buyer's, and it's frustrating to think no one is paying attention to it. Just realize that buyers like myself have positive comments to make about VCM and it characteristics and operation.

Replying to: jhinsc (Dec 29, 2008 1:16 pm) 2). If you want to post how great your VCM is- go for it. Doesn't bother me. But DON'T tell me not to complain (not that you have), or for me to tell people my experience and my recomendation on whether to buy this car.(NOT) 3). To others - I have called Honda. I have complained. I have opened a case. I have taken it back to the dealer who acknowledged I was right but said all VCM's do that. I have test driven others that do the same thing. I have watched Honda change the marketing BS from "seemless and unnoticable to the driver" to "NEARLY seemless". That's a major change in my book. Especially halfway through the 1st year on a re-design. 4). I have been back to the dealer to have fixed/replaced: The windshield (rock cracked it), the rear wheel bearing (hummed like an airplane), the rear speakers because of the vibration (this is a know issue), valves adjusted because it sounded like a lawnmower (another know issue), a software upgrade to fix the slow shift to 2nd gear (another known issue). All of this in the 1st year. Add Honda's response to the VCM and would I recommend this car to someone - NO. |
