The car has about 37,000 miles on it. About 4 months ago, at start-up, and for about 15 minutes of running, the engine developed a distinctive whirring whine which increases in pitch as the car accelerates and turns corners. Then the noise disappears. I drove it over to the dealers' local place, but by the time I got there, the whine had disappeared. However, the whine persists and has gotten a bit louder. Is it likely to be coming from the transmission, and if so, what can I do to reduce or eliminate this noise? So far as I can tell, it has no effect on the car's performance.

| I just changed the oil on my 06 civic and cannot get the computer to reset the maintenance minder. I have done it many times before and it reset as it should. Now this time no matter what I do it wont reset. All I can get it to go is blink a lot and thats it. Any suggestions please. | |

Honda called and is cutting me a check for $267. for only the two tires that wore before even reaching 8k miles. Didn't think I'd get squat since I swapped them out at a local tire store and they relied on their word that the tires were indeed worn in certain places. Would've liked to have gotten the $ for all four tires but I will happily take the $. Sometimes one has to be happy with whatever comes along! The Sandman

I need to get the arm replaced on my suspension as it is faulty....surprise, surprise. Honda sais that once it is replaced I will not have the same problem again. My question to anyone out there this: Does this problem re-occure? Do the tires keep wearing at a fast pace? Has anyone else had to have the arms replaced more than once? I just don't trust this car however much I love the sleek look of it. I also seem to have a problem with the acceleration. When I push the gas pedal it seems to have a bit of a lag and I don't like it. Just doesn't seem like a solid car! If so, I am out of here and buying a Toyota Matrix. |

Flawless acceleration on my '06 LX with just under 18k on the clock. Been quite satisfied overall with the performance of the engine. Not as powerful as our '05 3s, but that's due to the smaller 1.8 engine as compared to the 2.3 on the Mazda. Even with the few warranty issues with this car, still am very happy with my 1st Honda product. The rest of the family is very happy with it also and my oldest wants it but will be buying her her own new car within the next month or so. The Sandman
