  I guess I should consider myself lucky, as our Accord only vibrates a tiny amount at freeway speeds. Not really enough to notice, and not nearly as bad as the "morning shakes." We currently own two Hondas ( the second is a Ridgeline) and I seriously doubt that we will ever buy another one unless Honda starts building good cars again. Hondas since 2006-2007 have been simply horrible. Look at the ... Read More

  IMHO, the 2007 model year was the high point for the Accord. The quality of the Accord has quickly gone downhill since then, which is too bad. Honda is now the "lead standard" (instead of gold) for quality & reliability. Hondas might make good boat anchors. Good luck wth your pursuit of the Lemon Law.
