Don't seem to hear any noise in my LX. It's an early June '06 built car. Guess I don't have it...I hope...!

How many miles do you have on your civic? This problem with the lug-bug usually wasn't noticed until it had 5000 or so miles on the speedo. Did you car have the other issues such as: leaking structs and oil leaks from improper bolts in the engine? Other issues besides the "glovebox rattle" issue? How many MPGs are you getting and is your civic auto or 5-speed? I'm waiting for Honda to get these problems worked out before I make a purchase!!

With 3500 miles so far, all seems well. Mileage is about 33 city with maybe 37 highway. Still have 50% oil life left, figure by the 2nd week of January it'll be ready for it's 1st dino change. The rolling sound I heard was a tweeter which came loose actually. Mine is an auto tranny and so far, I love it!

Lug bug/idle vibration in 2007 Civic LX by adlu

I noticed the idle vibration a few weeks after buying my 2007 LX, and I recently found this thread and the Service Bulletin. When I brought my car in, they couldn't reproduce the vibration and said that the TSB can't be applied to 2007 models, so they sent me home with empty hands.
 
Have any other 2007 owners had similar lug bug or idle vibration problems?
 
Thanks.

I've posted my thoughts on this comment as stated by your dealer "well, you have a 2007 not a 2006 model so we can't fix it" on the 2006 Civic issue forum.

My car now has 7000+ miles and this problem has crept up. It's very annoying to be honest as I can hear mine clear as day when trudging along around 40MPH and the RPM's are near 1400-1600 RPM.
 
My wife even asks me what the hell is that droning sound?
 
Since my car is chock full o problems, honda car is involved and when I bring it in, I will mention the TSB as well.

Welcome to the club. This is my first and last Honda!
I was thinking of getting a FIT for my wife. But after this Honda Civic experience. No more Honda in my life!!!

I had the service bulletin applied for the lug-bug problem and it seems to have fixed or greatly reduced (to the point I no longer easily hear it)the noise. I imagine the strut and oil leak problems will still be turning up on 2006 cars but 2007's may have had the benefit of THE FIX before being built. That is the reason I won't buy a first year car any longer. In spite of this being a Honda problems still turn up on new designs but there were more than I expected. The AC is "what it is" and I believe it isn't a "problem" than can be fixed but the way it is designed to operate. I personally won't buy another Honda because of these problems and I have experienced all (leaking rear shocks..both sides, lug-bug, and one other, the so-called "glove box" noise) except the oil and power steering pump leaks. Additionally the cloth upholstry on the driver side seat bolster is prematurely wearing (the car only has 6500 miles) and the pattern in the fabric is disappearing due to entry/egress of the driver, plus the plastic on the door panels, the waffle pattern near the armrest, scratches very, very easily and mine is scratched badly from my wifes fingernails (long) while grabbing at the door pull within the armrest to close the door. You want comments..I am exceedingly unhappy with the quality of this our first Honda product and can't wait to go back to Hyundai, yes Hyundai, ASAP.
