I remember test driving 6 9th gen accord V6 accords and noticed the subtle vibrations on acceleration through the pedals and can audibly hear the sound of the VCM in each. I ended up buy in the one that had the least vibration and have put 17k miles on it, now the vibration has gotten worse. I’m gonna buy the part and hopefully it goes away 🫵🏽
