That's always one way to get rid of a problem on a car...Replace it

 

I bought a 2005 Accord about a month ago and it has slight shakes in almost every speed but you can really feel it on 50mph and above. after 2 visits to the dealership I got it from. 2 times balancing alignment and a brand new set of tires... the problem still the same and the tech can't find the problem. anyone has any idea? its a LX 4 cly auto. with 64000 miles.

 

Have they looked for looseness in the drive axles? That would vibrate when you're on the power, & get smoother when you lift the gas pedal.

Another thing to try is find someplace with a Hunter GSP9700 balancing machine. That presses the tire against a roller while balancing. It's supposed to be able to find problems within the tire belts.

 

Have them also check out the Engine mounts and the Transmission mounts...I see and sell alot of those for that kind of problem .

What do you think Jim?

Yeah, engine mounts are another good thing to check out.

 

they looked at the car yesterday and put new set of breaks. it didn't solve the problem. I feel like it is the engine mounts and they said they checked everything and all checked to be OK. a day before they agreed the car has vibration but yesterday they told me it is characteristic for the car...wow, I drive an accord for 9 yrs...I guess I have to drive it like that for now and once my extended warranty kicks in I'll take it to a different shop. all this was done for free at the dealership I bought the car from. I think they tried to find the problem but couldn't and just dismissed it as the tech that was working on it was a 22 yr old know it all... after all this I'm almost sure it's the engine mounts. thanks for your time.

 

Dont forget to check if it's the axles...

 

Does anyone know if it is ok to drive with the bad inner cv joint problem? I need to drive it about 160 miles this weekend. Thanks for any help.

 

Depends on how bad it is... hard to judge over the net.

 

Wow, that's incredible! Everyone complaining about the problem on here, but not one of them came back and posted what the problem was!!
Yea...Major pet peeve, no body ever comes back and posts what the problem was after they get it fixed.

So did anyone ever get this problem solved?
