Replying to: ihammer (May 11, 2007 9:38 pm) The dealer (two different ones) have told me, basically, that I am crazy. So I fixed it myself in the 2006. I put a small wooden wedge in between the A pillar and dash, in the same spot your dealer did. In my 2008, I am still working on it to get it right. This time I am using small rubber washers, but I don't think they're thick enough. Need something about a hal inch thick. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT 1) I was dumb enough to buy another one, and 2) there is such a lack of support from the dealers, and 3) that this is a $30,000 car. My 15 year old Jeep Grand Cherokee rattled less. (but was a piece of crap mechanically.)I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ACURA. Buyer beware.

Had an '04 with so many rattles, they rebuilt the right front door, and still couldn't fix it. It had clutch problems, electrical problems, and ultimately I used the Lemon Law to negotiate a brand new '05 replacement. Couldn't believe Honda could screw up twice but they did. More rattles, brake problems, a sunroof that cracked and had to be replaced, electrical problems...11 stays in the shop, not counting normal maintenance. Never again...just got rid of it for a Mazda 6.

Hey Guys, I have owned Hondas and Acuras for a long time. I have a 2004 TSX, and have discovered that the brake rotors become warped because of moisture, so much that when you brake at over 50 mph, the front end rattles and shakes as if it has a real suspension problem. I have spoken to 2 dealers and they say it is a common problem, on many Acuras. I called Honda HQ and explained the problem to 2 customer complaint reps, but they do not acknowledge that it is a problem. I see it as a problem that needs a recall and I am campaigning for it. Normally you get a brake job when the pads wear out. In this case, the pads are still very good...my Acura service rep measured mine and I had 40% left, but still I had the shaking an rattling. The rotors warp before the pads wear out and you are left to get a new brake job prior to wearing out the pads. This is real new to me. I have advised Honda that I plan to get the word out, since I understand that several of the Acuras now suffer from this problem. I have been a Honda and Acura customer for over 20 years and this is the first issue that has got me so upset..there is nothing mentioned of this problem on the Acura troubleshooting website, there is no current recall, and the reps that I spoke to seem to dismiss this as not a problem!! This is not the attitude I expect from Honda, so I am reacting!! Do you know of anyone who has this problem??? Let's get a campaign going on this. I think Honda should do a recall!! Hope I can get some agreement. CGR |

I had this post in another section of the TSX forum, so I figured I'd post it here too. My '09 TSX is about 2 weeks old and I noticed a rattling sound coming from the front. I hear this sound when I am accelerating and reach anywhere from 15-25mph. Once I go past 25mph it goes away. Does anyone else hear this sound or know what it could possibly be? I took the car to the dealer last week and they said they drove the car for 3 miles and didn't hear anything. I went back to the dealer yesterday and had the tech drive with me and he heard rattle too. His first question was if I was using premium fuel and I told him I was not. He said he'd take a look at the underneath of the car, but he knew the rattle was due to me using regular gas. Is this really true? I got this car on 6/24/08, have put fuel (87-regular) in it twice and already there's an odd rattle coming from the engine because I'm not using premium? And the kicker is right before I went to the dealer I filled the tank up with regular too. So now I have to wait to fill up again to see if this sound goes away. Also, should I try buying one of those octane boost things from Pep Boys or something? My co-worker, her daughter, and her son all have ’08 TSX’s and they use regular and they don’t hear a thing. I might just go to another Acura dealer to get their opinion. |

Replying to: stones3131 (Jul 10, 2008 4:27 am) Is this really a characteristic of the '09 TSX? Will the rattle eventually go away as I keep putting premium gas in? If this is truly a characteristic of the car I'm wondering why other people are posting...
