Hello fellow Honda members,

I am new to this board and have a question. I just purchased an EX V6 Accord 2003 a couple of weeks ago. I have noticed in the last week a vibration which occurs as the car is moving throughout each gear. It is noticable especially when I give it a good amount of throttle. I do not drive the car hard at all. This vibration is noticable even when I am driving relativley slow. I do not think this is a normal vibration which should happen as part of the overall design. The vibration can also be characteized as a groaning sound.

I am not sure if it is abnormal resonance from the exhaust system or something wrong with the transmission. Also, When I am in dirve, in a stopped condition, the engine seems to vibrate more at times than others. This is with the A/C turned off.

My wife and I purchased two accords at once. Her ca is a 5-speed LX and seems to run smoother through acceleration than my car. I would expect the V6 EX to have smoother acceleration than the 4 cyl.

Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated before I have to take it to the dealer. I know there are a couple of issues that have plagued these new accords, but I am not sure if these correspond.

Thanks in advance,
Michel
