The honda accord 3.0 v-6 engine has a hesitiation problem at all speeds anytime that the engine is placed upon a slight load condition, such as going up any grade. honda indicates that they consider this to be an acceptable 'driveability condition' and refuse to even attempt to correct. i have been advised by another honda service representative that honda has attempted many times to correct the problem but have been unable to do so. that being the case, honda should be forced to state in all their sales promotional literature to prospective buyers that the 3.0 v-6 has a driveability condition which honda can not or will not be fixing. if i had been made aware of the 'driveability problem' before the purchase, i would never have purchased the automobile, but would have gone to another manufacturer.
