Issues with mine:
1. Creaking steering wheel when turning - re-fitted under warranty
2. Front passenger seat belt trim popped out - fixed under warranty
3. Rattle/tac-tac noise from the steering wheel when go over bumps or rough road, especially along Parramatta road in Syd. Noise gone when I put pressure on the steering wheel - dealer could not replicate the noise, so they only fixed issue no 1.
4. Rattle from front passenger door (sounds like something vibrating), somewhere between the seat belt area and power window switch. I have emptied my glove box, It's not the power window switch, and it's not the seat belt part hitting the seat - havn't got time to bring the car to dealer.
5. Left back quarter panel paint is lighter than the rest of the car. Orange peel is consistent, no dust under the coat. Looks like it's factory defect - can’t be bothered to raise this issue to dealer.
My dealer has been helpful so far, but I'm really disappointed of the crap build quality. Got the car brand new, not even a demo stock, 6mths old, only done 5600kms, and it's stock standard. It should have been hassle free.
My 4 yrs old Toyota corolla conquest has not had one rattle/quality issue ever. Same with my brother's corolla and hyundai accent. Don’t think we have to spend $50-60k to get a good build quality.
Anyway, appreciate it if anyone has any solution to issue no 3 and 4. Thanks..
for #4, i had a similar problem with the door rattles... took the door trim off, isolated everything that can move with foam, and put the door trim back... rattle gone.
although your rattle might be coming from the front passenger seat (i have 4 rattles coming from mine) or the front airbag (1 rattle for me)... it's very hard to pinpoint the source of the noise.
good luck getting it fixed though.
Thanks Chylld, just realised it is most probably coming from the passenger seat.... No rattle if there is passenger sitting on the seat..any idea which part of the seat causing it and how to fix?Quote:

mind you, at the last service i complained of 2 noises from the front seat... they claimed to have taken the seat out, disassembled, reassembled it and put the seat back in, and after that it had 4 rattles... so at this rate the car is actually getting worse...
I dont know if anyone has written this, but i really cbf to look through. But newais...i got some minor problems too.
I have u tried Scott's Honda? Their servicing is kinda expensive but last time they were pretty nice and plus they have a NSX in their display room =]
They fixed up some stuff in my car and yeh i'll probli go back next time to get the rest of my stuff fixed too.
my car is currently at scott's honda artarmon.Quote:

im not surprised with the way honda is acting.
dealer servicing is shit, end of story.
im never taking it back there unless i have to.
even for a door rattle thats called by the left door armrest coming apart, they tried to find excuses not to cover it, blah blah..
dont think ill buy another honda
Rick Damelian > other sydney dealers, except maybe Larke Hoskins Roseberry.
well rick is one of the better ones ive been to for servicing..
n dont mention larke hoskins.. they are absolutely ^&%$^%$*&^%(
never goin there again!! even if they point a gun at me
