Just wondering how many others are experiencing drive train whine in their new Accords? I'm a bit surprised to hear any whine, considering the vehicle is less than 1000k's, and I can't remember hearing any on the two cars I test drove.
Hasn't been back to the dealer yet, but plan to ask about this at the 1000K service, although I'm not exactly sure how they'd fix it? Anyone got any ideas? The whine is most noticeable when slowing down, as the auto transmission seems to drop down gears to create engine braking, rather than holding a higher gear. If I drop into neutral during slow down, the whine is gone.
