| Numerous sqeaks, rattles, and vibrations in door panels, tops of windows, rear shelf, and in b-pillars around top seat belt anchor. i've taken my car into the dealership 3 separate times to have these fixed. they are able to make them go away for about a day, but then they all come back. the last time i took my car in, they said they have done everything they can and that these were normal sounds that the car makes. i have never had a car with so many rattles and squeaks. poor build quality and construction. they all started about 4 days after i picked up the car and had about 300 miles on the odometer. had problems ever since.*ak | |||

| I took delivery of a 2004 honda accord ex with leather on june 25, 2004. its been exactly a week. i have driven about 580 miles in a week. i have encountered the following problems and i did'nt see any recalls on the manufacturer's website. i am very disappointed after spending $24000 on a brand new car. *ak 1) the check engine light came on and the 'd' light on driver side dashbaord is continually flashing. 2) i can hear some sliding noise from left to right and vice versa when making sharp turns (happens all the time). the sounds seems to be coming from under the glove compartment 3) after driving about 60 miles in one go in warm weather(temperatures in 80s), i hear a rubbing/squeaking noise when making turns. becomes more audible when windows are rolled down. sounds more like tires rubbing against the body. 4) passenger side floor is soaking wet and i assume it is water. i can hear water sloshing sound under the glove compartment when making turns. | |||

| Consumer stated that while driving the suspension felt funny. the front wheels wandered. consumer took vehicle to the dealer seven times, and each time dealer could not duplicate the problem,and stated nothing was wrong. finally a representative from the honda was called and drove consumer's vehicle. the honda representative indicated that there was something wrong with front suspension. there was at least a 10% difference between the consumer's vehicle and another of the same year/make, and model. consumer stated that the honda representative promised to call him, but as of yet had not done so. then, when consumer did get in touch with the honda representative he was offered much less for the vehicle than what he paid for it. consumer was afraid to drive vehicle because of the wheels. *ak | |||
