| Description of the problem | i get a harsh grinding 'metal-on-metal' sound from the cam/timing chain, top of the engine when temps below 40 degrees. Visited with the dealer i purchased at, didn't even start a work ticket when i told him what it was doing. Stated it was the vtc actuator problem ,they all have it, replacing the part won't fix it, just have to live with it. Went to 2nd dealer, said same thing but started a work ticket. Gave me a copy of a honda "tech line summary article" engine rattles after cold soak startup. Affected vehicles, 2008-12 accord, 2012-15 crosstour, 2012-14 cr-v, we're currently working on a solution but have no recommended dealer repair at this time. Contacted honda motor co. To file a complaint, we would like to fix your car, how? You don't have a fix, problem since 2008. Asked for my purchase price to be reimbursed minus usage. Waiting for response from honda. Will pursue dispute resolution/arbitration if needed. |
