This car vibrates a lot when I am driving at any speed. It has been going on for several years. I did not find out the specific problem until 3/15/2014. I had three different mechanics look at the car for the problem. They all said that the rear u-joint on the propeller shaft is badly damaged. This u-joint is not repairable by honda design because it is a part of the propeller shaft. According to the honda dealer, the entire shaft must be replaced at a cost of about $1800.
