#5484 of 5530 Arbitration by mitchflorida

I know little things like that can really annoy people. I don't think it would bother me, to be honest. How would I even know, unless someone complained about the lights from an ongoing motorist?
 
I once took Honda to arbitration for a squeak near the moonroof that they couldn't get rid of. I believe they gave me a $800 credit or something like that. I moved on after I got the credit . . I guess the ratttle didn't bother me as much afterward, or I thought, that is life.
 
I have heard the new Accords don't rattle like the older ones used to. Is that true?

My 96 and my 06 are eerily similar in the rattle department. I have one rattle per car. (Not bad for 191k and 46k miles, respectively).
 
The front pass. seat squeaks/rattles over pavement that isn't glass smooth if someone's not in it, and the seat is adjusted all the way back. Put someone in it, or scoot it forward, and it goes away.
 
I've got a new (admittedly minor) rattle in my 06 coming from either the driver's door, or the back driver's-side door, but I haven't figured it out yet. May have something in a door pocket I don't remember.

I love my 2008 Accord Sedan EXL V6. But hate the little squeaks here and there from interior noises. The glove box droops, plastic around the auto gear shifter makes creaking sounds. I can see why maybe people spend a little more money for a Lexus, or Infinity.

#5487 of 5530 Do the 2008 have voice microchips? by nightlinger

This sounds absolutely crazy, but when I get in my car, I often hear a word or
phrase like "Hello" or "Are you ready?". Most of the time, the words or phrases
happen when I first open the door, but they also occur while I am driving. At first,
I thought my wife and friend were crazy, then I thought I was crazy, now many
have heard it. It sounds like it comes from right under the radio in the center.
I have everything but the navigator system and I was wondering if maybe it "talks"
and a microchip is somehow being activated. I assure you I am sane and this is
a serious question.

I don't hear voices in mine!

#5489 of 5530 Metra 99-7874 by twilli1987

I recently bought a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe w/out satellite radio and had Tweeter (which is no longer in business) install a dash kit (Metra 99-7874). When the car heats up, either due to the heat on hot days or in winter due to the heater, the dash kit starts to sound junky, making a crackling sound, especially when the car goes over coarse pavement. I don't think it is the radio, but the dash kit which seems to be made of a plastic materia. Does anyone have this kind of problem and any advice on what i can do. Can't bring it back to Tweeter as it went out of business.

I have the 2008 EXL V6 coupe and I also had to have the brakes replaced at 15K miles. They did not charge me for it. I am now at 22K and they are telling me that my back brakes need to be replaced AGAIN. I don't see how 7k miles would wear out brakes. I live in the Phoenix, AZ area so it's not like I'm driving down steep inclines riding my brakes. Anyone else having this problem?
