Replying to: phisher (Nov 26, 2008 7:21 am) Thanks phisher. I'm very disappointed in this dealer (Honda of Nanuet, NY) and I'll definitely write a review, thanks.

Replying to: Whistler1211 (Nov 26, 2008 5:46 am) You read about all those problems with the diffy, but really, how many are we talking about? We'll never know unless Honda decides to disclose the info (or perhaps if there's a recall), but is it 1%, 4%?   4% is a significant number of cars, but that still means that most of them are trouble-free. The actual number is probably a fraction of a percent.   You have to go with your gut and it's cheap insurance to change the fluid if it helps you sleep at night. I'm happy relying on the car engineers and what's in the owner's manual. Or even a reminder light.   Any chance you can talk your mechanic into relocating to my neighborhood?

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 26, 2008 8:55 am) Haha I wish I could talk him into relocating to MY neighborhood (he's in NJ). I moved from NJ to Maryland 2 years ago, and I still coordinate as many service appt.'s as possible with visits to my parents back in New Jersey.

Replying to: joekinso (Nov 22, 2008 3:53 am) thanks for info. I actually noticed that the dome light does not comes on when the door is opened (both driver and passenger) - except occasionally. I presume the "switch" you are talking about is the thing covered by the black rubber halfway down the door pole - has one screw on it.   I also noticed if I push in the switch (to simulate door closed) the switch stayed in - did not come back out as would expect if the door was opened. So it appears that maybe it is corroded or stuck. Will probably just replace. Have not taken it out yet - is is just unsrew the screw - pull the switch out carefully and and disconnect?

#6035 of 6447 headlight issue fixed by theriver Nov 28, 2008 (6:34 am)
Went to the dealer today and bought two new dome switches and changed them. Elapsed time 5 minutes each side (while drinking coffee). Total cost 8 bucks for both switches.   Works like a charm (chime). Thanks Joekinso - saved me at least 100 bucks.   Funny thing I would never have thought that the dome switches had anything to do with the headlight and key chimes. That is why I did not look at the door switches until Joe said to   thanks

Replying to: theriver (Nov 26, 2008 6:07 pm) Yes, the switch is under the black rubber cap. When you pull it out be careful to not let the wire disappear into the door post. It's probably a good idea to replace it. Good luck. Replies to this message: theriver (Nov 29, 2008 10:36 am)

#6038 of 6447 humming noise by theriver Dec 01, 2008 (4:40 pm)
Now that my headlight issue has been fixed....   My 04 has about 80K. When I am driving and take my foot off the pedal, I hear a very noticeable WHIRRRRING coming from the wheel areas which gets quieter as the wheels slow. It does not occur when the accelerator is depressed, only when I take my foot off to either coast or even put my foot on the break. No other performance issues that I can tell. Has been going on for about 10K miles.   I took it to the dealer - they said they can absolutely hear the noise but they cannot find any problem. They thought it might be the tires, but it is strange. Had transmission oil changed - still there.   Any thoughts.

Replying to: Whistler1211 (Nov 26, 2008 5:46 am) At 18,000, 2008 EX-L, I too got codes B,1,6. I am going to wait until 30,000 miles for rear diff fluid, unless i start hearing noise from the rear. Replies to this message: phisher (Dec 04, 2008 8:35 am)

Replying to: kevman3 (Dec 04, 2008 7:57 am) The car is still under warranty and this is well before the recommended change interval so bring it in. The dealership should do it for free if you mention what I said above. Better safe than sorry, they put those computers in the car for a reason.
