My engine has no rattle at all,the rattle that is very intermittant,but so annoying,is inside the car.
Either B pillar/door panel/window/roof.
My new seat also looks average.
Maybee thats how its meant to look ??? with creases in the bolstering.

that would sux, given the that its a new car, but many would agree that cars like plastic models these days.. its just not built as though as they're use to be.. i have civic 96 ek4 as a second car.. paid $34k for a gli brand new back in 96.. thats a freggin lot of dosh for a small sedan, but its so much better built then my 3 year old cl9.. i just feel the panels are much tougher on my civic and the plastic use inside is of better quality.. thats is why i find it hard to justified paying showroom prices these days.. hope you have all your problems fixed mate.. i get my euro service at doncaster honda, my friend has a hook up there so i get a small discount, as for the quality of the servivce.. i guess its just a service.. i didn't ask them to do anything so can't gauge if they're good or not..
its true nowadays cars are not as strong as used to be. I believe they made the bumpers very soft for the pedestrian safety rating. I just hit the front bumper in my fence with very mild turn and the bumper clip broken....Just imagine if kids throw the toys on the car...i can't imagine it.....
Taken in today,given a Jazz to use for a few days........
I got a brand new seat,which I am finally completely happy with,as it does not have any wrinkles.
Honda kept my car for 3 days to investigate the annoying rattle.
I got my car back,and the next day ,heaerd the rattle again.
It had disappeared for 3 weeks.
I dont know what to do,as know that the dealer has no clue where it is coming from,or how to fix it...................................
Seems like Honda's quality control has taken a big dive lately...
The seat is perfect,but yes,the rattle has never been fixed,even by lubricating door seals,tightening windows,and refitting the door panel.
This is really a small issue,but very annoying,expecially as the car is so very quiet inside.
What I need to do is drive,and as soon as the rattle starts,go straight to my dealership,who will then investigate further.
Or maybee try out another dealership ??/
Rattles are really hit and miss unfortunately.
I get a small noise from the leather material that's behind the steering wheel. A quick push and readjustment sometimes fixes it and then it will come again. Also noticed a noise just underneath the LCD screen - if you hold it down with your finger the noise seems to disappear. Hope you don't find it too annoying and enjoy the other aspects of the car!
I doubt they would ever replace a faulty vehicle with a brand new one, it'd probably be cheaper for them to keep repairing the faulty vehicle under warranty. If they were to replace the vehicle they'd end up with a second hand vehicle which they would then have to fix anyway in order to sell on the secondhand market
