Default Violent engine vibration!!!! help please

Every single time i turn off the engine, the engine shuts off with a really bad vibration that is felt tremendously. i had it checked by my bitch *** honda dealer but they just told me that its normal. i mean how the f*ck is it normal when the other 9387539854 accords out there doesnt do this at ALL and even my 1995 hyundai sonata doesnt do this. is there any way i can resolve this problem myself? anyone know what seems to be wrong? this is pissin me off cause i only have 2500 miles and my car feels like crap because of this. please help. thanks.

you still have a warrenty. DEMAND to speak to the service manager and have him ride in the car with you. Sometimes the service advisor chronies avoid handing out bitch warrenty work.

Well...i'm not a manager.. I just been working on these for the past 12 years.. but if you feel you have to consult in a manager, then please do so, it is your obligation as a new Honda car owner.. but I doubt any manager or servive advisor would explain the operation of vacuum controlled motor mounts.. and btw...I am also a certified Hyundai tech..

there may not be anything wrong...just a normal characteristic of the car...

This is a "grey" area because what you make consider a "violent shake", someone else may consider a minimal startup/shutdown characteristic.. do visit the dealership and carefully explain your concern.. sounds like a breakdown of communication between you, the customer,service writers, and the tech that actually knows the "in's and out's" of these cars.. if posssible, talk to an experienced tech directly..

Lastly...don't compare this car to your Hyundai.. 2 different cars with 2 different repuatations..

yeah i agree with you. The tech did tell me that it was just a normal characteristic of the car. However, the fact that no other accord of the same kind has this characteristic and every accord owner that i show it to tells me that its not normal that only my car does this and no other accords out there. I rode in all my friend's accords and their accords are normal and compared to theirs, mine is not.
