Consumer Description
WHEN STARTING HONDA FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING THE DAY OR AFTER IT HAS SIT FOR A WHILE, IT MAKES A NOISE OR ROUGH START UP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT WHAT THE ISSUES IS, IT IS VTC ACTUATOR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IF I HAD KNOWN AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. BUT THE SALES MAN KNEW WHEN TO START THE CAR AWAY FROM US, DIDN'T FIND OUT TILL THE DAY AFTER THE PURCHASE. WE BOUGHT IT USED. THE PART IS A BIT PRICEY AND HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CHARGE, SINCE IT IS NOT THE FIRST CAR THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A BAD YEAR FOR THE ACCORD. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE FIXED. *TR
