I have 89,900 miles on my 2003 Accord EX Coupe, and recently noticed a humming/thudding noise coming from my suspension area. After having it examined today by friend of mine who is a mechanic, it apparently is my drivers side rear wheel bearing. Has anyone had this problem? If so, is it covered by any extended warranty? I get all of my service done at the dealership, and I've had all the regular scheduled maintenance performed. This is my 3rd Honda, and I am surprised that a wheel bearing would be going out so soon (for a Honda). I found a TSB (#11012003) for the wheel bearings, but don't know the details of it. I also don't understand if a Service Bulletin means that they will replace it because of a defect? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Service Bulletin Num : 11012003 Date of Bulletin: NOV 01, 2003 NHTSA Item Number: 10009272 Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING Summary: HUMMING OR GROWLING? CHECK THE WHEEL BEARINGS. HONDA. SERVICENEWS. *TT I'd say that almost 90,000 miles is way beyond any warranty consideration for a wheel bearing. It's just a typical maintenance item, as wheel bearings wear out, some sooner, some later.

| What would cause a vibration in a 96 Accord 2.2 L coupe when de-accelerating at engines speed between 2500 and 2000 RPMs. The vibration stops when the car is put in neutral and seems to be related to the drivetrain or exhaust system. | |

I just got the '08 Accord Coupe EX and the ONLY issue I have with it is the major blind spots to the rear (both sides). I hate changing lanes & backing up. Am I the only one with this issue?

Replying to: licouper (Feb 22, 2008 9:29 am) I'm relatively tall, so I'm also able to see back through the rear window as I look over my shoulder. If you're shorter, you may need to raise your seat so that you have a more direct angle to the rear as you look back? But I do agree with you that the rear visibility is slightly more compromised in the new coupe. Not enough to freak me out, but I do pay more attention. I noticed that you can order rear parking assist sensors on the new Accord. I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but I can see why some would like the sensors to beep if you get too close to something. One other slight beef that I have is that the shifter (I have the 6speed) is more notchy than on my 03. My previous coupe had a quicker, almost joy-stick like shifter, while the new coupe requires you to be more deliberate as you shift. This is most pronounced from 2nd to 3rd. I used to be able to just "flick" it with a quick wrist, and now I have to more forcefully engage the gear. But I'm hoping the transmission will shift more smoothly as I gradually break the car in. Overall, this is one fun and fast car!

Replying to: licouper (Feb 22, 2008 5:39 am) This car definitely has a lot of sheet metal (front and rear) and the windows are smaller relative to the body, so visibility is definitely not as good. You almost sit inside the coupe like you're in a coccoon. I'm sure that is one reason it is much safer in the event of a collision, but I know what you mean about seeing to the front as well. Good luck! |

Replying to: licouper (Feb 22, 2008 5:39 am) I also have the backup sensors on the back of my minivan and it is definitely helpful since it identifies any objects that are directly behind or to the side of my van (toward the rear). It gives a whole level of security when backing up. The backup camera is definitely another option, but without the NAVI screen, it may be expensive to install on an aftermarket basis? The sensors are a few hundred dollars, and install right into the rear bumper. Again, good luck.... |
