he bought it this year, doesn't mean it wasn't built last year.

Re: Honda Accord Recall
 

Tom, I purchased a 2004 V6 Accord a week ago. I have experienced the same
thing going from first to second gear. Have you been able to get any
resolution? Honda says that my car already has the fix on it.

My car is in the shop now and I expect that they will say they can't
reproduce it. Let me know if you have had any success getting it
addressed. Thanks

Found something on another forum. It appears to be the ABS pump turning on
as you start off. It only happens when I start out in the morning.

Hi Tom,

I have the same noise that applies under the same conditions. I went to
the dealer twice with no real answer. Several months later a friend of
mine told me that his dealer identified the noise (and vibration) as being
the ABS resetting themselves. I'm not convinced, but we both have the same
car (bought months apart) and have the same quirky noise and feeling. Does
anyone else experience this?

Re: Honda Accord Recall
 

I just bought an Accord EX V6 2 weeks ago and I have the same situation.
I'm not sure what to do because the noise/vibe come and goes. It doesn't
always happen, but it usually happens when you first start the car during
the day.

I'm about to take it to the dealer, but I'm expecting them to deny any
problem. Did any of you get any response from Honda dealers?

Re: Honda Accord Recall
 

I was in the dealer a week ago, I mentioned the problem and the service
rep, mentioned that they will look at it. I don't remember the exact word.
They said something like... Others reported similar problem.

I did not like the wait time so I left. I will have them look at it on the
next visit. another 1K miles.

BTW, it does not happen all the time. I think it has to be a "cold" start.
When it is hot outside, I don't feel the vibration on "cold" start.
