Re: Accord vibrations
 

There was a post within the last few days with a link to a very
interesting article on rotor warp -- basically explaining that rotor
warp is generally not the cause of these pulsation problems. In fact,
he argues that rotor warp is fairly rare.

I'll look for the link in past messages. It was a thread about brakes
(though I think it was spelled breaks!).

Re: Accord vibrations

Re: Accord vibrations
 

i had a 1990 accord and it would drive fine but after about 4 or 5 miles of
driveing the grease in the cv joint would thin out and the bearings would
move and cause i vibration. so it could be the cv joint.

Just took my Accord 2003 V6 to the dealer for it's regularly scheduled
maintenance. At the same time I told them of the same vibration on the
brake pedal when braking at high speeds. Turned out to be exactly the
same rotor warp everyone else has been having in the 03 Accords.

Luckily they covered it under warranty because the brake pads had to
be replaced also.

Shouldn't Honda send out a recall notice? This could potentially be a
very dangerous flaw
