Description of the problem | I bought a new 2010 honda accord at marin honda in larkspur, california on sunday 1/31/2010. But i did not pick up the car until monday 2/1/2010 because the car was "not prepared" on sunday evening. I drove the car home from the dealer in the afternoon on 2/1/2010 and i began to notice a rattling noise coming from the hood on driver side. I brought the car back to the dealer on tuesday morning where a mechanic suggested that the noise maybe coming from the defective housing unit of the windshield wiper. The mechanic ordered the new part but it will not be available until next week. The noise has been persistent and getting stronger/louder when i applied the brake and when the car is idling at intersection. The steering wheel also appeared to shake whenever this loud rattling noise came out. I am afraid that this problem maybe more that just a defective housing part of the windshield wiper, hence i am reporting this to assure that electrical problem or brakes problem are not the issue for honda (in lieu of what is going on with toyota cars at the present time). Please let me know if you had similar complaints for the new model honda accord. I had been a loyal customer of honda but this incidence is making me very concerned about their quality assurance service before releasing new cars into the market. I thank you for the important work that you do to keep consumers like me safe on the road. |
