Accord EXL 3.0 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,000 miles

I told the dealership that the car rode rough - think off roading in a 1970s Jeep Wrangler. When they were replacing the transmission (that failed 15 days after I purchased the car) they found that the "fork was jammed into the arm control." Whatever the hell that means.

After they fixed it (smashed, broke, and un-wedged this "fork") it felt great for about a day, then went straight back to the way it was. It's so bumpy my CD player won't play a single CD without skipping. But I do get a kick out of sounding like a child bouncing on her father's knee when I try to have a conversation. Gotta stay optimistic, right? Yeah, it's that ridiculous....

Accord EX V6

All vibrations from the road are passed directly to the passengers inside the car. It appears that the suspension is not sufficient to handle the weight of the V6 on the front tires, and/or the Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus tires are not the correct tire for this car (see separate complaint for the tires)
