If your car is still under warranty, take it to the dealer and describe the problem. They should be able to fix it. Sometimes they will just clean and lubricate the rubber seals. Other times, they will replace the runners for the windows. It all depends on what is causing the problem.

I just hit 20k in my 2006 LX (4cyl) and recently noticed my drivers window makes "creeking" sounds. Never heard it before. Just had the windows retinted not to long ago as well. Will Honda accept the complaint with tint or will they blame the tinter?
 
What is Hondas fix for the dash vin rattle? Also, my center console makes a "hard thump" when I hit a bump on the highway. The console did not have this rattle until Honda replaced the console which had a faulty door.
 
Thanks for any feedback.
 
Also, I was given a base model P.O.S. Neon while my car was in for repairs (2 days). Is this normal of Honda to give you a downgrade rental to what you purchased from them??

I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Just ask.
 
As for the other rattles, just tell them the problem and make them fix them, even if you have to take it back again. There are service bulletins out for some common rattles. I've shared my problems and solutions in previous posts.
 
As for the Neon... geesh, feel fortunate that you got ANY car. Some of us aren't offered the option. That's a dealer choice, not Honda's.

Interesting how -- all those years -- Honda couldn't fix this one IDIOTIC problem with their windows creaking... We had it in our '95 Accord. A friend of mine had it in her '01 Accord.
 
Though -- knock on wood -- nothing (yet?) in our '05 Accord...

Interesting... I've never had a problem in my 95.

I've owned (or leased) a 1990, 1995 and now a 2004 Accord. I have NEVER had any issues with the windows or seals.

Tried to use Edmund to send you the mail, but
their email system is down. Your email is set
private.
 
The problem covers under basic warranty (3yrs/36k).
If you have the time, take it to the dealer.
They should have something they can stuff into
the window run channel by now.

That's why my next car wasn't another Honda.
 
My 03Accord didn't make the window noise after over 2 yrs when I bought it brand new.

..And, btw, my daughter has it in her '06 Civic too... She doesn't mind it, so (since the car is leased) I don't mind it either...

Warped Brake Rotors by sambo49
Mar 30, 2007 (3:08 am)

2003 EX-4cyl auto transmission - had problems with front brakes making grinding noise for 3 years. Dealer service department said they could find nothing wrong.
 
Recently, the car shakes and vibrates when braking at highway speeds. Dealer service advisor says the brake rotors are warped but pads still have 8k miles of life left. HE suggested to continue driving until pads need replacement or turn rotors and replace pads together now, total about $280.
 
Will there be any further damage to the car if I
continue driving the car?
 
Given that the car has 36k miles, are warped rotors a normal occurrence? I live in the DC area where the weather is relatively mild.
 
Is it advisable to replace the rotors rather than turning them?
 
Thanks!
