After reading posts regarding this issue, I decided to duplicate the problem. In order to do so, I had to put the car in park, put the ac to max a/c with radio on and turn up the a/c. Sure enough, a flicker every 30 seconds. However while night driving I have not experienced this phenomenon. The car is so perfect in every other regard, ( 2008 ex 4 cyl at ) I've decided to ignore it. What are you going to do katanapilot if they replace your vehicle and it duplicates? File Lemon law again?

None of my 3 Toyota's have had the 'heat soak problem'. My 99 Accord does have the headlights dim slightly when the A/C kicks on but it has always been that way for my Honda and probably some other vehicles I've owned too. While this may be aggravating to some, it isn't a problem for me or the car.

I was just commenting on the fact that Toyota only fixed the "problem" either in my 87 Tacoma. They always called it a "heat soak" problem even though it would do it during in the winter as well. It wasn't serious, just an inconvenience. If it died on a restart you had to let it crank for 2-3 seconds. It was almost as if the mixture got too rich or was fuel starved.
The flying fickle finger of fate determined if would occur depending on outside temperature, how warmed up the engine was. and how long it had been off.

I don't own a Honda but I change the oil/filter in my Toyota Camry and Ford Ranger every 3 months or 3000 miles. My experience is oil is cheaper than an engine job in any vehicle .

15% is preferred, but DEFINITELY get it done before you wind down to zero.

An historically good practice but we are talking about break in oil here, which Honda recommends be left in for the full time according to the computer.

Rattling noise in cabin by back window

I have a 2008 Honda Accord and have about 6K miles on it. I have just noticed that when I hit a bump or go over railroad tracks I hear a Rattle inside the cabin. It sounds like it is the rear brake light in the window. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to check it? I can not find a way to the light and I do not see any clamps or bolts that might be loose. Please help the noise is driving me crazy.

I would like to know if you ever figured it out. I have a 2008 Honda Accord and I have the same issue. When I go over railroad tracks or a bump I hear a rattle in rear of car. I beleive it is coming from the rear light in the window but have no I dea on how to tighten or check to see if something is loose back there. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
