I took it to mean he drove the car the previous night, but the next morning the car wouldn't start. But I too was going to suggest the wiggling steering wheel solution.

"Rattle" sound by stones3131

My '09 TSX is about 2 weeks old and I noticed a rattling sound coming from the front.
 
The hear this sound when I am accelerating and reach anywhere from 15-25mph. Once I go past 25mph it goes away.
 
Does anyone else hear this sound or know what it could possibly be? I took the car to the dealer and they said they drove the car for 3 miles and didn't hear anything, but I think I am taking it back again.

Go on a test drive with the mechanic and point out the rattle.

Have you eliminated the obvious and sometimes simple causes, such as items moving around inside the glove box, or your sunglassses rattling in the sunglass holder? Also try to use one hand to press down on the doors of any storage cubbyholes while driving (keep your eyes on the road though!) and see if the rattle goes away.

I went to the dealer today and had the tech drive with me and he heard rattle too. His first question was if I was using premium fuel and I told him I was not. He said he'd take a look at the underneath of the car, but he knew the rattle was due to me using regular gas.
 
Is this really true? I got this car on 6/24/08, have put fuel (87-regular) in it twice, and already there's an odd rattle coming from the engine because I'm not using premium?
 
And the kicker is right before I went to the dealer I filled the tank up with regular too. So now I have to wait to fill up again to see if this sound goes away.
 
Thanks

Let's hope the solution is just using premium fuel, because rattles are notoriously difficult to fix, and can really spoil the new car experience (as a TL owner, I know that all too well! )
 
Otherwise, how do you like the new TSX? You find the power and torque from the 4 cyl motor sufficient?
 
Cheers.

I love the new TSX. I fell in love with the body style and the interior has all the little gadgets I like to use. The seats are very comfy...

Also, should I try buying one of those octane boost things from Pep Boys or something?

I own a 06 MT tsx, bought new 11/17/06. It now has 55,000+problem, rattle free miles on it. I use 87 octane gas, get excellent gas mileage. When I take my car to the dealer for service I get complimented on how well the car is maintained.

Personally, I don't trust any of that fuel additives.
