| Description of the problem | On cold days i hear grinding noise when i start my car, few second noise then its fine. I noticed it started in december when the cold weather hits texas. It does not happen daily only on cold days as car sits in driveway. Some days it will be cold and it will be fine and other days another cold day and it will happen for a few seconds. My car has slightly over 8000 miles. I find this too soon to have any issues. I took it to local honda dealership january 16 where car sat over night to duplicate the sound and the car did not make that noise. The weather was in the 40's and noise could not be heard. My car was still at dealership on january 19 and again no sound was heard from certified honda tech. I opened up honda care ticket for a solution and a push from them to replace the vtc actuator. The tech played dumb and said i was the first owner to have this compliant and therefore could not pin point the problem and could not fix something he did not know what it could be. I took my car from them after sitting there since friday, saturday, sunday and monday jan 19. Honda care did not push the issue to the dealership so i am considering trading in my car. I cannot be held accountable for a faulty honda problem. Now i the consumer have been duped by this ignorance and letting this known issue just sit around and get bigger with consumers. |
