I purchased a 2006 Honda Civic EX sedan in April. It has had it's share of problems since I got it. My biggest concern is that the car has yet to break 30MPG and I already have 3000+ miles n the car. Check out my forum profile to see all the problems I've been having.

Hi [tjs01],
 
Regarding the rattling noise from the glovebox area ...
 
I've had a noise in that area that seems to be coming from the passenger front wheel area. The replication problem is *exactly* what I've experienced.
 
My dealer first replaced the strut. The noise didn't go away a completely and came back quickly to the same level. The dealer then replace the whole strut assembly. The noise returned again after leaving the dealership.
 
I tried to replicate it with the service manager. No luck. It seems that I have to hit just the right kind of bumps (not big ones) to hear the rattle. It's like something, perhaps a retainer of some sort, is loose.
 
The care drives and functions just fine. So I'm banking that a dealer service tech will come across the problem in a future oil change or maintenance interval. That's all I see happening.
 
Because the functioning of the car isn't affected, I'm hesitant to contact Honda field management on the problem. Also there might be a service advisory issued on this now or at some point.
 
It's a little disappointing since this is my fourth Honda, but it'll get fixed, no doubt.

I too have the rattle noise somewhere near the front right of the globe box of front of the car area.
 
With regards to the bump, if I hit certain bumps I have a large clunk in the front right of my LX auto which many others have reported.
 
The dealer twice did not find anything wrong and like you say I do not feel an adverse affects on the car other than the noise so I am going to live with it for now.
 
I am sure as our cars age in the next year or so honda will find out how to solve these problems so it;s probably better for us to wait a while then bring the cars in and the service areas will have much more info on what is causing the problems and how to correct them.

I have the the clunk noise coming from the right front of my car too. It only happens when going over certain bumps while on side streets. I never notice or hear the clunk while on the freeway. It's sounds like something serious though, like the suspension or something but the car drives fine. Has anyone had this problem successfully corrected yet?

*****A few other things. There is a recurring rattle from the glove compartment/passenger side front door area. Not all the time. Will likely be difficult for the dealer service to replicate. Has anyone had this diagnosed and corrected?******
 Well there are 2 different rattling noises you will find in your new 2006 Honda…
There is one witch you described as noise coming from front passenger door area. I was able to determinate that this noise is coming from…..front passenger side airbag…ha ha believe it or not…and I was able to cure this problem by resetting plastic airbag cover on passenger seat, this noise is gone now… after a while I found a new clicking noise coming from front suspension (passenger side) but it’s a completely different issue, I hope soon there is will be a recall which going to solve this problem. Also I found there is an issue with a quality of interior (dash, door panels) plastic parts, its gets scratched so easy, any ideas how to fix this scratches? Thanks.

Door Misalignment by tobehuman

I have a 2006 Honda Civic EX and all of the doors are misaligned. I've brought this to the dealers attention but they haven't yet corrected the problem. If anyone else has had this same problem and their dealer has corrected it, please, let me know. Here is what one of my Civic's doors looks like:

Hi,
 
I don't want to get your too nervous but you really should have a professional auto body shop check to see if your car was damaged before you bought it.
 
Misaligned body panels and things of that nature could point to repairs before a car is sold and yes dealers do and receive damaged cars from the manufacturer and from transiet, etc.
 
When I first purchased my 05 scooby outback sport in 05, I was shocked to learn from a subaru forum that subaru can sell brand new cars with up to $1500 in repairs to the body without have to disclose to customer.
 
Just have it checked as misaligned panels/doors/hoods would make me very wary.
