I am not disputing the fact that "some" cars have vibrations, or surging. I do not agree that "they are all the same". They say they've test driven many different cars (08 & 09 models), and "they all do it". If "they all do it", why didn't the Edmunds reviewers feel it?

Replying to: sunnfun (Jan 09, 2009 1:55 pm) Meanwhile the parts to fix the noise and vibration on my 08 Accord are on back order. According to the parts dept at our local Honda dealership, the parts were not in stock "due to the number of Accords needing the same repair." My previous Accord was an '03 and it did not have the problems that many others had with that particular model year. I don't expect perfection in a product that is mass produced; however, I do expect the manufacturer to step to the plate, address the problem, and at least attempt to satisfy the customer. So far, Honda's response has been less than you'd expect from a company whose past reputation was built on quality. |

Replying to: hondalvr1 (Jan 09, 2009 6:14 am) Actually the part that gets scraped isn't the spokes. It's the lip of the wheel where it meets the tire. I love it when someone blames carelessness on the manufacturer. Funny, I've never scraped one of mine but I do tend to be careful when I pull up to a curb!

Replying to: isellhondas (Jan 10, 2009 6:39 am) "I might be wrong here, but didn't Hondas used to have a "cute" aspect to them? You know, kind of like a Mini Cooper or a VW Beetle? They're tough little machines with personality to boot, right? You can still see Honda's cute look in the CRV and Pilot. But where is it in the sedans? I don't want to offend any loyal Honda fans - I know there are many of you out there. But can someone please explain this identity shift? Do you like it? " So I went to the previous reviewer, Mike Hanley, and he had this to say about VCM. "Honda's integration of VCM is exceptional; it's nearly impossible to tell when the car is running on three, four or six cylinders. Which baffles me, because some owners claim they test drove 5 different cars, and "they all were exactly the same".

If I have the radio off on a level road, yes, I can feel it but I've never experienced a vibration or any of the other problems people talk about here. Nor have I EVER had anyone else mention this or perceive a problem. |
