#83 of 86 Honda Fit general noise by cactustex Jun 28, 2008 (2:21 pm)
Maybe it's me but.......I have been researching the Fit and went for a test drive today. I can't remember the last time that I've been in a car that was so noisey---maybe my Volkswagen Beetle in high school. On the highway you could hear and almost feel every expansion crack, hear the difference in every road surface texture as it changed, etc. Not even my (small) Porsche 911 was so conspicuously annoying in this regard. Was it just me? Anyone have experience with "insulation" applied to the bottom? Comments? Thanks.

First of all I'm from London England and I just had my Honda Jazz (2003) serviced today and they spent 9 hrs still cannot fix the problem which exactly same as yours. All the gears working fine except 5th!!! Everytime I go down the motorway, once in 5th gear and speed reaching 60mph - 1) the buzzing noise comes on and I put my hand slightly and gently push the gear stick towards top right it stops! 2) it vibrates as well now spreaded to 2nd gear...its like a virus BUT hand off, noise comes back! Very annoying indeed and have to put music on loudly plus my terrble screaming style singing to cover the noise . Anyhow, the technician serviced my car tried 3 time still not helping, he finally slapped on some white gluish-like lubricant into the gear (the gear linkage I believe) as i took the plastic cover off when i get home and i saw the grease!!!   I drove it for an hour on highways AND in town, try to run it the gear hopefully the grease will gradually melts into the stiff part (as far as I concern there aint much ppl have the spot on solution yet) but using the grease its used by alot of ppl out there to stop this problem only 50-60% cases successful!   I will keep it running around in next couple of days to see whats happening, cuz the noises seem lowered at some point but louder again. So i cant tell u whats next until then. Let me know if u have ur fixed.   Good luck! Replies to this message: anahita61 (May 01, 2009 5:01 pm) dark_angel (May 02, 2009 6:13 am)

I'm going in for an oil change, but while it's still under warranty I thought I'd get them to see if they can fix it. It's really annoying, but hopefully it's not damaging. I, too, have to play music loud to mask the sound of it. It's only when I'm accelerating in 5th gear after a bit of travel at highway speeds. The grease doesn't sound good, so I hope they don't try that with mine. Thanks for your comment. Replies to this message: dark_angel (May 02, 2009 6:13 am)

Replying to: anahita61 (May 01, 2009 5:01 pm) Yo buddy! Its ok, i got crashed into another day in the roundabout by a truck so the car is in the honda dealership for repairs at the moment. Spke to the mechanics and he said looks like the bearing is on the way out and its gonna cost me around £450 to change them (ouch!) but at least i got the repairs done for free as the other side is liabled to pay for it!   They gave me this brand new Jazz but i still prefer mine for some reasons. Anyhow i'll keep it til next year from now. They've also tried them grease method, it didnt work on mine. Dont worry they use these industrial grease which wont damage your car but it stinks and digusting, looks like someone's sick. Its a mystery still but hope they will have a good look at my car and find out whats wrong with it. Thanks for replying and good luck buddy! Have a nice summer btw ciao~
