Just came back from Honda, they said the "creak" is the front right suspension mount. They need to replace the whole set including the bolt. They are ordering the part, hope it will fix it up.
Good for you.......another one to the listQuote:

Outcome: Dealer took it very seriously and a while to rectify. Was fixed under warranty. From memory it was a brake pump failure.
I just got my a/c compressor housing replaced - since new (2005) it would make quite a loud grinding noise when the a/c kicked in. It was extremely infrequent ie once every 6 months or so.
I did a trip up north to the Hunter Valley where it's much more humid and the frequency ramped up to 4-7 times a day - dealer repaired it under warranty without issue (even though it would not do it once I got back home)
I'm heading up to the hunter again shortly, so should be able to confirm if that fixed it
I've just noticed that the dashboard in my 4mth old Euro Lux has developed about three 'air-bubbles' in vinyl near the edge (just above the radio). Although not overly large they are still quite noticeable, one is about 1/2 cm wide and a few mm's high - I'm not sure if this is a direct result of recent hot weather but I've could swear they weren't there last week. It's not the sort of thing I would expect in a vehicle of this age (and price).
Is this covered under warranty? What would you do? Or am I being pedantic..?
Hi all,
Thought i'd throw my 2 cents in and leave some positive information about a Honda Dealer., I've had most of my servicing and all of my warranty work completed at John Blair Honda in High St in Prahan.
Fantastic customer service and workmanship.
I've had two sets of headlights fogging up, both times they replaced the headlights without question under warranty.
I've had a creaking master cylinder. They lubed it, noise came back, and then replaced the master cylinder straight away under warranty. No questions asked.
Even when i get the car serviced, there is not a fingerprint/scratch left on my black car. They even give me back the remainder of my own oil that i bring in, so i can use it as a top up.
Hopefully this information will help somebody out there with issues with there Honda.
Cheers :)
that is f'd upQuote:

Rear pads have been replaced, but last service (140k) was advised to look at front brakes at next service.Quote:

Some posts in the thread ask to identify good Honda dealers for repair. I just wanted to warn to be careful with non-dealer repairers who say that they "specialize in Hondas" and claim to do warranty service. I asked Honda about a well known one in Sydney called Hanny's because I bought a 2004 Euro that had been serviced by Hanny's for last 2 years. The logbook was all nicely stamped with the listed items all checked off as "OK" by Hanny's but much of the work was not actually done. Cost me over $1000 to get the service redone again properly. The last owner was female and I guess Hanny's found her an easy mark. Unbelievably, Hanny's had even charged her $1200 for the last service because "the car needed so much work", but when I bought it 2000km later, front and back brake pads were worn out and the oil had not been changed.
Honda said they don't accredit these non-dealer specialists and will not cover warranty costs from them. They will only cover warranty costs that a Honda dealer has authorised. So it is best to stick with a good Honda dealer if you can find one. It is false economy to use these dodgy back-yarders.
Honda Accord 2007 - Brake Failure
Has anyone else had this happen to them? My dad was driving his Honda Accord yesterday and the same thing happened to him, that happened to Monda. While stopped at the traffic lights with his foot on the brake, the car launched forward and the brakes did not work (despite stepping on it all the way), causing it to hit the car in front. I'm interested to know how many other people this has happened to. Thankfully they had not entered the freeway yet.
Outcome to be advised by the insurance company.
It's definitely the master cyclinder needs attention!!! check the break fluid level..use hand brake next time it happens
Accord is made in Thailand compare to Euro made in Japan..There's a difference there
Same parts tho.
There were known issues with premature rear brake bad failure btw

Cheers.
