Hello all.

I just had all the tires and brakes replaced on my car and am making sure I get the car tuned into good shape (2004 EX-L V6 Sedan).

Anyway, the one thing that still kind of annoys me is a slight vibration in the steering wheel when the car is in drive (or park) at idle speed (i.e. when stopped at a stop light). My question is, to a certain degree, is this vibration normal? This is the first Honda I have owned and I came from rather nice cars before (2001 Range Rover, 2007 Tahoe, 2005 BMW M3), so I am thinking maybe I am just expecting too much out of the car and for it to be perfect. Also, could it maybe be attributed to the fact that I drive 2 miles each way to/from work everyday and the car never really gets a chance to fully warm up?

Just wanted to get your thoughts. I may take it by the dealer service dept. just to see if they think it is normal or not.

Thanks!

 

that happens in my car and when any chick is sitting in my car they dont mind... cause its vibrating and then in that case i dont mind cause i see that my car is pleasing them

 

haha. Ok.

Anyone else experience a similar issue in their Accord?

 

Yeah, it's somewhat normal. Your idle speed may be a little below what it should be, causing more vibrations. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

 

Good to hear.

What is the normal idle RPM? I don't even know where mine is, but I will check it out.

 

Bump. Anyone else have the issue?

 

RPM when the engine is fully warmed up should be around 750 or so. When the engine is cold it will be a little higher than that...say 1200 -1500.
