Driver Seat , Transmission Roughness
I bought my Honda Accord 2004 2 dr. 3 months ago. Car is still in
brake in period, about 3000 miles. Whenever I make turn my seat seams to move a little to the sides – does anyone have such problem? Other thing is my transmission is rough right at the morning, after night or after about 8 hours of not driving. Roughness lasts only for about 5 minutes than gear shifting is normal. I took car to Honda dealer, they could not find anything wrong with transmission. Friend of mine has the same car, I took it for a test drive at the morning and I did not see any roughness. Looks like it could be temperature related problem, winter is coming and I it can get cold in Chicago. Any thought on both of the issues? Thanks a lot. TD |

Honda has had all sort of problems with their transmission in recent years and you will want documentation of an early problem if it fails after Honda's stingy warranty period is over. JH |

Thanks for responses, this is my first Honda and I don't know what to
expect jet, what is normal what is not. I have chosen Honda due to its good re-sell value (and "worry free ownership"), but after transmission recall and air bag new recall in accords I am not so sure about my decision. Well, I like the car but I don't promise I will buy next Honda :-) |

I'm happy to hear that you find a way to make your seat replaced. I have
the same problem with my Accord 2003 and the dealer told me it was normal!!! It seems I'll have to complaint to the dealer a few time.
