Replying to: bav_fan07 (Nov 10, 2009 5:58 pm) I would like to know what is wrong with my 03 Accord? That is not apparent to me.

Took my heaviest rear-ending to date at a stop light from a telephone company service truck 09/2009. Had to drive 8 hours to home & everytime I had to get off the interstate I was greeted by creaking & squeaking from the tail end being most noticable at parking lot speeds. However i can also hear it cruising down a stretch of good highway, as well as when i climb in & out of the car. When i brought it to the body shop I made it clear that I was more concerned about mechanical than cosmetic damage. A few days later they called & said they checked the rear suspension & found everything in order. Not! When i picked it up you guessed it. So they suggest taking it to "xyz" alignment shop. He test drove it, lifted it, tightened a nut and, get this, lubricated "it." how or where he lubed "it", given the design, i can't imagine. Needless to say I'm still living with it, pondering the hit I'll take at trade-in time, or private sale time. Contacted insurance four days ago who said take it where ever & we'll have a progressive rep there with you. So the question is might I be better off taking it to the Honda dealer since the specialty alignment shop was clueless. Apologies for the lengthy missive. Any ideas, advice greatly appreciated. Thank you. Dennis

For instance, as a side note, when I ask about whether private shops whether it's necessary to use Honda transmission fluid versus "regular" and they say it's unnecessary. I've read enough on various sites to know that's not right. Anyway long story short I'd take it to the dealer. Having a long post is not a problem. The more information people have the better they are able to help you. |

turning. Brought the car in for 75K mile service. And mentioned the TSB for the inlet O-ring at P/S pump to remedy the P/S moaning. Dealer noticed the moaning noise was still loud after replacing the O-ring. So they replaced the pump & fluid reservoir and flushed the system. The noise was reduced but still loud. So they ordered another pump overnight. After 2nd pump replacement the noise is almost gone. I can notice a big noise reduction in a moaning noise now. Thank you Bernardi!! I think it's a characteristic of Honda P/S system because when I googled the issue, there are plenty of them out there. All work was done under EW with 5 days left. I guess with the replacement of ABS/VSA modulator, brake switch, and P/S pump, the EW is paid for.
