Hi,

Sorry for being very vague here. Okay, so problem happens like this:

When I start from my parking lot, I usually take a left turn at very
low speed. Most of the time when I am about to turn my steering
straight, I feel some roughness on my pedals (accelerator/Brake). This
roughness lasts for about 1 second. It is similar to going on a short
patch of grooved road. Feels like some spring/metal cranking.

I have about 3000 miles on it. It use to happen right from start
though.

I did not feel this roughness while driving even at slow speed. It
only happens after starting.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Geoff

Just bought 2004 accord 6V- , noticed the same "rouhness", have no
idea what to think about it. Happens right after the start at the
morning.

If it's just a brief "burp" lasting about a second, it's the ABS pump
priming the high pressure chambers in the modulator - I believe 6kph is the
nominal speed for that to happen. If you get a sudden temp drop it might
last slightly longer and when the ABS activates you'll hear the pump run
almost continuously. BTW it's generally considered good to activate the
ABS from time to time by braking hard on a slippery surface when you get an
opportunity.
