Hey All,
Here's my little problem im having since day 1. I Bought my 02 2dr v6 lx in november, since the day 1 car shook while braking, speeding (60mph + ), had my dealer work on it, they replaced front rotors & axels, then my warranty (60 days) ran out. Car still shook but not as much. So they told me at dealer - its the tires. So i bought new set of rims with brand new tires. Still shook. Replaced back rotos & pads, still shakes, replaced ball joints, car runs wayyyyy smoother, got alignment of course, however now the steering wheel still shakes left, right kinda motion when im going on highway, around 50-70 mph. it seems that maybe my rims are missing a few weights, but i brought them back, and looked at screen when they balanced them, everything looked ok..... I dont think they'r bent either. Any sugesstions as to what it could be? I mean i don't want to spend another 500 bucks on somehting thats not going to fix it....

 

run your vin see if it was in any accidents, my first honda had this problem. apparently the little old granny i bought it from got into a few wrecks, once you bend something in the suspension world the car never drives the same. got rid of it and got the current accord. my .02

 

Ouch....

and you know what is the crapiest part is the dealership is not required to tell you! so for anyone buying used if you ask theyHAVE to tell you. you should of seen the look on the salesmans face right b4 i signed for my 96 "oh by the way can you run the vin"

 

Yeah i shouldve learned from my first mistake (95 civic that was smashed before) Oh well, i still have one more shop to visit, one of the best ones i heard, we'll see if they can do anything, and if not -- bye bye.... wanna buy a honda? hehe.... anyways thanks for replies.

 

did you ask the dealer if it was clean before you bought it?

 

My mistake - i didnt, now i have to worry about it... ehh, i guess i learned from my mistake.

 

buying my M3 wasa learning experience for me...nothing as major as yours, but there were a few imperfiection on the car that, while wouldnt have really matterd for a 3 yr old honda, for that vehicle, they would have fixed them or dropped some off the $.
