When I hear the noise I think you guys are talking about its a very low, very faint knock knock knock. But when I listen outside the car the engine sounds like it pppeeeeeeerrrrrfect. I think it's just something bolted to the engine making a bit of noise as the engine runs. Nothing to worry about.

 

i'm not worring i got 700miles on my 35300 miles to go or 35 monthes before the warrenty expires no worry here

 

I dunno whats the deal with Hondas. My new Acura TSX steering wheel vibrates a little bit on the highway. As of 7/11/03 I have 2,7xx miles on it and I bought it back on 5/19/03. I dunno whats causing this problem. The tires are brand new and stuff and the alignment looks fine.

Also, my 2001 Honda CR-V is the same, when I drive above 70 mph it starts shaking pretty bad. Rotating the tires helps stop the vibrations temporarily. I had the alignment checked at the Honda dealer and it checked okay. I have to occasionally move the tires from the front to the rear and vice versa to even things out.

Hondas are just weird.
:dunno:h:

 

So your new Accura vibes on the hw too? I thought mine was fixed, but it still sux. If I accelerate to 100 and then put it in nutral (man. tranny) I noticed the vib around 75, gets worse at 70, and goes away at 65. Those speeds just happen to be where I want to drive the car on the highway most of the time. I don't know if I'm just being over senstive, but it's really starting to affect my satisfaction with the car. I didn't pay MSRP, but I did pay alot... 22,000 4dr EX-L 4cly MT. Have you had any luck getting yours fixed? The dealer is just about tired of me, and honestly I think the whole situation is pretty sad. I bought a honda to have top quality. If the mo-fo's can't make a car that drives smooth then how great are they? I know the tires are balanced at this point. Tomorrow I'm taking it in for a alignment, but the dealer told me it woudln't help.:screwy:

 

I just noticed that my six week old 03 LX Coupe shakes at 75MPH+. I have driven it fast, but it was hard to tell on LA's bumpy and rain-grooved freeways. I had a chance to drive on some smooth asphalt freeways, and that's when I noticed it. I didn't think much of it at first, but after a while it started to annoy me. I didn't expect this on a six week old vehicle. The Ford Focus I rented a few weeks ago didn't shake like this.

I noticed that there are minor imperfections all over the place on my new Accord - little rattles, trim panels not lining up perfectly, even some of the body panels aren't aligned perfectly.
I'm only talking about being off by 1/32 of an inch or less, but it's enough to annoy me.

To the average person, it looks fine, but I'm VERY picky and this stuff stands out. I have looked at several other accords and have noticed the same thing. I'd rather pay an extra $1000 to have my car built in Japan and shipped here.

I like to support American work and buy American-made products, but not if the quality is substandard.

 

Mine was assy in Japan thank GOD! I can help get rid of some of those noises. I went thru my car like with a fine toothed comb. I think you are just really picky like me and probably have a above average car. let me know what kind of noises you are hearing.
