Consumer Description
MY CAR JERKS FROM THE VCM MODULE ON THE CAR USUALLY WHEN GOING AROUND 40 MPH ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING A TURN( I DRIVE MOSTLY ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY) WHICH MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN CYLINDERS AND JERKS THE CAR HARD SOMETIMES AND GIVES A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF TORQUE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR 2010 WITH 72K MILES ON THEIR 3.5L V6 ENGINE AND WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT HONDA BEING SUED FOR THEIR VCM MODULE THAT SHUTS DOWN CYLINDERS. IT RUINS PISTON RINGS, BREAKS ENGINE MOUNTS, MISFIRING, BURNING OIL, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST BENT PISTON RODS ALL SO YOU CAN GET 1 MORE MILE PER GALLON. I WOULD LIKE FOR HONDA TO DO A RECALL TO FIX ENGINES THAT ARE DAMAGED AND TO FINALLY GIVE THEIR BUYERS AN OPTION TO TURN THE VCM OFF WHICH IS KNOWN TO PREVENT THOSE PROBLEMS AND MAKE THE CAR NOT JERK.I GOT 75K MILES NOW AND JERKING HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE I'M TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO TURN IT OFF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
