2009 Honda Accord

Replying to: kingpcgeek (Sep 16, 2008 8:44 am)

I bought an EX-L, but have a family so appreciate the room of the Accord.
 
But, the fun factor of the G35 is unreal!!! That car put a huge smile on my face, so I know where kingpcgeek is coming from. It is just such a blast to drive.
 
The only part I'd disagree with is the cost. We can all argue how much more gas or things like maintenance will be between the cars, but there is one cost that is hidden.
 
I just won't get too many speeding tickets in my Accord. With the Infiniti, however, I'd have a very difficult time resisting temptation. Still, I'd have a smile on my face when the officer asked for my signature.

Hey, happy that at least they're doing something.

You used an interesting phrase: "swapping out the CV joints from another new Accord. . . ." If you buy a new Accord that has problems, the dealership shouldn't "swap out" parts from one new car to another. It is a very simple warranty issue -- that the dealership doesn't have to pay for. Unless they are trying to get your car fixed more quickly by swapping out parts that are already on hand, I think your in a very strange situation.
 
Also, switching with 16" wheels is a VERY odd way to try to fix a shaking problem in a car that is made for 17" wheels and has a suspension, a braking system and vehicle stability control all tuned for 17" wheels.
 
If I were you, and if you are getting this treatment at a true Honda dealership, I would switch dealerships ASAP. Any Honda dealership can do warranty work for you. Good luck. . . .

Actually, changing the wheels and tires from another car (that doesn't exhibit the problem), is an easy way to eliminate wheels and tires as the cause. Also, if parts (cv joints) are not available, and the dealership is willing to do the extra work of removing parts from another car, to remedy the situation, that would be fine with me. Whatever it takes to solve the problem. It's much better than the usual "We haven't been able to duplicate the problem" or "All these cars do that, and there is nothing we can do about it". Anything is better than that.
