rocky acceleration

Hi guys,

i've had my tsx for 2 months now, have about 3000 miles on it. I'm starting to notice that it's not as smooth as it was. When I accelerate I can feel on the pedal this vibration, like i'm accelerating on rocky ground. NOt too noticeable, it's very minor actually, but I'm just paranoid. Is it because the road i drive to and from work everyday is dirty and dirt has caught on the bottom? or is it I pushed my tsx a little too hard in the beginning when the car hasn't even been broken in yet..
I'm clueless
Is there any bad side effects if you start driving your car too fast or accelerate too fast straight off the bat?

There are so many variables here but it might be wise to ask the dealer about it at your next service. Do you have the SS or 6MT?

I'm not sure what's causing your problem (out of balance tire? loose engine mount?) but rest assured it has nothing to do with how you broke in your car. I am not a believer in slow engine break in (except for brakes), but if there really are benefits, they would not be seen until later in the life of the car, say over 100,000 miles.
