2003 EX V6 Vibration/Groaning Question
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

Hello - welcome!
My husband and I also bought two 2003 Accords at once - ours are both 5 speed DXs. They both run very smoothly with no vibrations ever, A/C on or off.
However, there has been a lot of discussion here about various vibrations in the 2003 Accords. I think that it's mostly the more expensive models - EX and both V6s - that seem to have the problems, for some reason. Hopefully some of those people will respond to you here - but, in the meantime, you can access all those threads by doing a search. Good luck!
