You know there are people here on the site that have not had the issues with the VCM and the vibration and you may be one of the lucky ones, but for the ones that are experiencing this issue and our frustration it would be nice that you would let us discuss it here on this site. If you don't have a problem with your vehicle then there is no need for you to put in your two cents worth.......Not all cars are perfect and obviously there are quite a few of us that have gotten these NOT PERFECT vehicles. I do not find this vehicle a comfortable drive, actually I am quite tired by the time I end my drive from the vibration, and having to fight with the steering wheel to keep it on the road......This is the owners wife making this post and I am very frustrated with this vehicle. I find that Honda is just giving the run around in the hopes that you just give up. I work in Customer Service and have for most of my life and I must say that Honda's Customer Service is extremely lacking...If I responded the way that they have to my customer's, well let's put it this way I would be unemployed by now. This has been a continual problem with the vehicle and Honda should have taken this vehicle themselves and resolved the issue. Like I say very very poor Customer Service.

As I've reported before in this forum, the only issue I've had with the VCM V6 is a whine and throttle pedal vibration around 1300 RPM and 20 mph. I took delivery the last week of December '08 and the car currently has 1560 miles on it. I took the car over to the dealer (Goodson Honda North in Houston) this morning to have the above mentioned problem checked out. The technician acknowledged the sound/vibration and he checked all the active engine mounts. Everything came back normal. Apparently, the sound/vibration is indeed endemic to this vehicle. My service adviser said she would keep an eye out for service bulletins related to this issue, but other than that, I was told nothing could be done. For me personally, this is just picking nits. I can definitely live with this. It really doesn't bother me that much and I just wanted to make sure that nothing else was wrong.

I figured that I would add my two cents worth to the VCM discussion. I have had a 2009 EX since late November, but just recently took my first long (approx. 250 miles) trip. While I could certainly feel the VCM working, I did not find it annoying and I felt no excessive vibration. What has surprised me, though, is the low mileage that I have been getting. In mixed (mostly city) driving, I have been getting only 16-18 mpg. On this recent trip, I got only 23 mpg. It is possible that the car is not "broken in", but I expected better mileage from a 250 mile trip at a steady 65-70 mph.
