Honda Car Forum

I bought a used certified Honda accord 04 EX L automatic it has 62000 miles on it. before i bought it during the test drive it was shaking when the sales man used the AC so the next day he said they fixed it and i did another test drive and ac didnt make the car shake or vibrate so i bought it. any ways driving it 100miles later it does the same thing but not as bad its a noticeable shake/vibration so when i went to the dealer ship to pick up my extra keys i asked them about it and the guy(mechanic) said that it is normal for a honda accord with 62000 miles to have minor shake or vibration and told me to just buy gas from shell and he said they tighten up the ac pump or something to tone down the shaking/vibration. it still shakes should i go to another dealer and have them take a look at it im in los angeles. anyways i know that i have 30days from purchase for them to cover anything that is wrong with the car. any advice thank you for your time if this question has been answered before please link thank you verymuch

Try adjusting your idle. Hope this helps!

The dealer is pulling your leg about the type of gas causing the A/C rattle. You can not tighten the A/C pump, but you can tighten the slack in your drive belt. It sounds like the drive clutch on the compressor is going and causing the wobbling.































If the compressor is bad it will cost well over a $1,000 to fix. It was $800 to replace the compressor on a 1993 Dodge three years ago, and this is not with more expensive foreign parts.































By the way our 1999 Accord with over 112,000 miles does not have this problem with it's A/C. I think the dealers lieing to you again. I would write a letter to Honda's corporate office. Since it is certified the A/C should be replaced under warranty with Honda's corporate help.
