Replying to: cr40 (Sep 25, 2009 2:52 pm) I bought my 07 w/ 30K miles on it about 6 weeks ago. Been in the shop twice for drifting/pulling. The first time, they rotated the tires. the second, they did a very slight alignment, but it's worse. They had put on new wheels/tires to get rid of the run-flats when i bought it. Also, there's a loud squeel coming from the back when I turn right - but only sometimes. They also had put new brakes on, so that's not the problem either. They replaced the power steering already. Dealership is over 35 miles away, and I'm supposed to go back again to get it fixed. But from the sounds of it, i'm in for a real nightmare. Any other discoveries? I am going to come armed with info from this board, but i won't pay over 30k for a used car that isn't going to drive correctly. (BTW - it's certified - nothing on the carfax - and i also have an extended warranty). I'm concerned, cause this one is hard to replicate. Fully loaded touring, black on black, and was the only one around for hundreds of miles. I looked for months. Replies to this message: cr40 (Oct 30, 2009 7:49 am)

The tires were not covered under the Michelin warranty. I finally called Honda and filed a defect notice for all the issues. Honda authorized dealer to replace torque converter. They did this and something regarding the radiator fluid. The shuttering has stopped for now. The stearing and pulling issues remain. Honda set me up to drive today with their regional rep. Did the test drive and left vehicle at dealer for them to try to fix. (regional rep was not pleasant and was badgering me and questioning me...I finally asked him jokingly if he is a lawyer!) Let's see what happens next. I also told them of 2 more problems now....beeping noise in rear (maybe brake related, and driver's side window intermittently won't go up when it is down. I try to put it up and it goes a little and goes back downl. Will update with progress. So tired of these issues and have lost so much time dealing with it.
