We have a 05 SI. Not 7 or 8 months after the car was bought, the problems had just been building up. The first thing that was told is "you have been abusing the car, it is not Honda's fault" Well, they did nothing about it. There has been a noise is the back end, right after it was purchased, because of someone stopping in front when the brakes where hit, one side locked up. The passenger window got to where it would not go up or down It was taken in because it was wearing tires really badly. They said there wasn't a problem with the car. Now after the 2nd set of tires in a year and a half and only because of running over a deer, the car has been found to have a defect in the back. The mechanic found that it could never be aligned because of the defect so he had to find a way to fix it. This was not the Honda mechanic, but the one hired by the insurance company. We have been on the phone with Honda and they tried to blame the tire manufacture. The problem is that there is more than one tire company involved. Tell you something? After stating that attorneys may be involved, they started to listen. We own 5 Hondas at the present in our family and are growing weary of what we are finding out with this company and may have to have an attorney this time. We have finally figured out that the service techs are told to state on arrival in some cases "you are abusing your car" If you have had any of these problems, especially with tires wearing to fast, please let me know. Also, those of you who are having such problems need to let the ones who give Honda such a high rating a complaint because they seem to stay on top, but I am hearing a lot more complaints than seems to show in Honda's standing in the industry. I personally have owned 5 myself, not any at the present, so I love the car, but the service and the denial of responsibility is beginning to change my mind

Hi All.... Right now Im' having troubles with power (I think). When I depress the brakes, or perhaps have hte rear defrost on, or even turn on the radio, the RPM's will decrease. It's coming to the point when I'm running all these items at the same time the internal dashboard lights are all dimmer. If I look closely the daytime running lights dim when I press the brakes as well. i'm not sure where to begin diagnosis... I think I'm hearing a belt rattle when the car is first started and its cold (alternator region right in front fo the driver). The only thing I've done recently is add a stereo system. Only a little mini sub is running on my amp but I have connected directly to the battery.....Perhaps the contacts are worn? Any thoughts what this could be? thanks in advance. |

| Where do I read new posts about the 2006 sedan? I know this is the wrong place. Can we start a discussion where people can ask about how to find things that were in Forums that are now closed? How do you start a new discussion? | |

I just bought a used 02sir hatch and love it but now that it's cooler I need the front defog/defrost fan on. Switching this on lights the a/c button on and stays on even after pushing it. But as long as the dial for the heat control is on, no cold air is blown. As soon as I switch to any non-defog/frost setting I am able to press the a/c light off. Is this normal? I am concerned that if the a/c is on simultaneously that I'll lose mileage/performance. |

| Anyone know anything about a recall for transmission grinding going from 2nd to 3rd? Told my dealer about it as soon as i bought it and they said they couldn't see the problem.. Apparently others have? http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests/558 | |
