Car feels like about to shut down, hesitates with the strong smell of oil

Would love some help. So firstly my car is getting a loud internal noise when I'm driving it almost sounds like a jet engine about to take off. Now the vibration occurs between 70-80km/hr so thinking I may need to replace drive shafts as this is a common problem but the loud internal noise is bugging me most. I've thought of wheel bearings and wear of the tyres. I have a sports tyre on and do a lot of distance travel. They are only 12 months old still plenty of tread. Just had an alignment two months ago. Has anyone experienced this internal noise and would it be related to drive shaft?????

Hey guys can someone help shed some light on my situation. When driving fast, slow, or even normal speed it sounds like my engine is in the passenger seat. When I first got the car last year I though it was because it was a v6 and it was just louder. Not the case then I though maybe it was a tires that were installed but a year later with the same tires and still has loud road noise in the cabin. I’ve done research and I’ve read it could be a number of things. But before I start buying parts I don’t need and waist time and money can someone tell me what to do if you know what I’m talking about… Read complete

This is 2015 brand new accord lx with cvt. The issues are:
1. The car has obvious side to side sway at speed 15 mph.
2. The car has big amplitude vibration at speed 25~35 mph. Especially on a downward slope.
3. The whole car is vibrating at high speed (>70 mph). My hands and legs felt numbed after driving 30 to 40 minutes on highway.

There's a lot of vibration when braking especially on the highway. Also there is a leak on the passenger side door. When driving on the freeway, you can hear the wind like it's not completely sealed.

I was driving along on the highway upon slightly braking a strong vibrating started from the wheels to the engine i look into honda and problems regarding them when i lost power like a stall is related to engine which causes the vibrating as well as the braking vibrating is a well known problem with honda warp rotors with only 14,600 miles should'nt be having these issues to early cause im normal driver alsothe aircondtion blowing hot air screen going black on the dash board in and out i pay alot of money very upset with whats happening out of nowhere with this car

This vehicle has been fine up to 9,205 miles. We have bought this vehicle back three times to our honda dealer including this original date for shuttering, jerking, vibration,lagging and loss of power 0-25 m.p.h. Worse with a/c or econ button on as well. Also while driving, transmission jumped out of gear then revs out then goes back into gear, this problem happened once on deceleration into a residential turn. This problem occurred after our last visit to dealer in july 2015. Vibration seems from drive line in gear and was told this is normal by dealer. These issues i feel are not normal.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda accord. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle started to shake and no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician performed an alignment; however, the remedy failed to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who stated that the vehicle was operating as designed.

I have vibration on steering wheel beyond speed of 60mph. The thread depth on the front tires is 9. 5/10 on both the sides. The thread depth on rear tires is 5 on both the sides. At the dealership i was told that there are flat spots on the tire. It was worked upon for wheel balancing. However the vibration exists. Is such a vehicle safe to drive with a child? how safe is the vehicle situation?

does honda american know about the problem?

i did some search and reading on the internet for the defined problem, model year and components. It is noted that there are others as well with same issue which has resulted into uncomfortable and potentially life threatening driving conditions. I don't think dealership should be responsible.

While traveling on the highway, i noticed excessive vibration on braking. I took the car to the honda dealer and was informed that the front rotors were warped. This was the second time i had this occurred in this car. At approximately 18,000 miles i had the same situation. Honda resurfaced the rotors and this problem disappeared. Honda is refusing to change the rotors. This is a safety and manufacturing defect that honda should recall. Please attend to this matter urgently. *tr

This car has the v6 engine in it. I noticed a slight vibration when driving at about 40 mph when the car had 6500 miles on it. I took it to the dealer and they kept it for a week and said their experts in california could not see it on the computer data collected. Over a period of several months, i had it in for the same issue and finally they replaced the torque converter. The issue got considerable worse after that. I brought it back several more times, a total of over 30 days in their shop, and they now say this is normal for the car. They say the variable cylinder management (vcm) system i… Read complete

First incident was approx in aug, 2013. Driving on the highway accelerating at 36-40 mph, car starting shuddering and lunging forward, loud noise coming from car and it wouldn't accelerate. Slowing down didn't help- it made it shudder more. Pulled off road thinking, maybe a flat tire? i stopped the car checked and nothing. I was shaken up because the car was jerking and shuddering and you couldn't control it. I let it sit, while driving home, it had difficulty accelerating to the speed limit of 50. It then shuddered as the car slowed down when you took your foot off the gas, let it coast to a… Read complete

Very annoying rumbling/vibration that occurs in the 1700-2000 rpm range when the variable cylinder management engages. The severe imbalance of running on only 3 cylinders transmits a distracting rumbling/roaring vibration into the cockpit of the car. When i originally test drove the car, i did so in stop-in-go traffic and also briefly on the interstate, and did not detect this phenomenon until i had purchased the vehicle. After experiencing this vibration, i wrote a detailed letter to the president of american honda regarding my unhappiness. A colleague of his, named [xxx], contacted me but o… Read complete

Brought the car in couple months ago because of vibrating problem. Dealer check and said that it was normal. However, it was not normal as i know my car. Now, with the routines check i noted that the oil is leaking between cylinder head and cylinder block where the engine gasket is. *tr

When cruising on the highway, the steering wheel develops a vibration. Also, when the car is idle, it vibrates almost like a cylinder is missing a spark. Only have 34000 miles on this car and its giving me these issues that they say "can't be fixed". *tr

Rear brakes started making a terrible noise at highway speeds. Car was vibrating when slowing to a stop. Noticed braking reduction. This was the second time the rear brakes have been replaced at 36,000 miles. *tr

Steering wheel and front end shakes when driving over 60mph. Issue started when car had a few hundred miles on it. Dealership replaced tires, balanced tires many times, performed alignment, replaced front rotors. Problem still exists. Seems unsafe to drive at times. Car now has 21000 miles. *tr

The noise coming from the passenger side under the glove box when the air is on is annoying and pretty loud. The radio can't even conceal the sound at low volume. Likewise, the glove box isn't latched according to the lines of the dash (1 cm gap). The glove box moves and rattles. The seat also rattles and shakes when going over any surface whether highway or city streets... These noises are just too much. The car is 09 not 1988. Actually 1988 probably wouldn't have all these problems. The deal said the air noise is normal??? sorry it's not normal to not be able to talk to someone because the car feels like it's breaking down and noise is coming from every direction.

Highway speed vibration at various intensities, mostly at speeds over 60. Car shakes and vibrates.

About 2000 miles after buying the car i noticed a shake in the steering wheel. We took it too the dealership for a rotate and balance. When we got it back i still felt the shake. We took it back again and they balanced them again (so they say) and still has a shake. I am a mechanic and have been for 12 years, so i took it to the shop and balanced them myself, and it still has a shake. It seems to happen between 60 and 75. *tr

At approximately 50+ mph the front of the car shakes. This has been going on for almost over an year. I took it to the dealership, said nothing is wrong. It starts to shake so bad that you have to let up on the accelerator and almost stop, before you feel safe enough to continue on. Shaking is the worse for the first 3 miles at the start of the day but never seems to completely goes away. *tr

Since i purchased this car, the engine vibrates, power steering makes noise (and the pump was replaced by dealer), now it also vibrates when riding (wheel) and brakes make a "clamping" noise that honda assures me is normal. At 7k miles, the brakes were "adjusted". The car is now 14. 5k miles and still vibrates in idle and when riding. I have filed a lemon law claim with the state of florida already, though honda is working on proving i am wrong. Do i just get rid of the car? is this car safe?

At speeds between 65 and 70 mph the car vibrates as if the wheels were out of balance. Have had the wheels balanced twice in the past month with no change. Had the car aligned within the past month and dealer says there was no change. A new set of michelin mxm4 primacy tires were installed in april 2012. Just returned from a 3000 mile trip and found the vibration to be very annoying. This is a honda accord 4dr ex-l v-6

I purchased a 2012 honda accord v6 ex-l in dec. 2011. I noticed a steering shimmy/vibration and an escalating grinding noise in august 2012. I originally test drove this vehicle thoroughly when i purchased it and never noticed this problem until august 2012.
