Creaking from rear mainly on off camber turns and going up driveways/gutters.

Resolution:
They lubed and tighened all rear suspension components. OK for a week. Took car back 2 weeks later, they did they same thing again and was OK for a week again. Was about to call them back a few days later when it fixed itself and haven't heard it since.

Problem 2:
Clunking from right front suspension when driving up driveways.

Resolution:
Dealer tightened and lubed front sussy on 2nd visit of getting rear sussy looked at. Didn't fix it but funnily enough when the rear fixed itself so did the front. Go figure.

PROBLEM: scratches on all 4 window tint. front mostly.

OUTCOME: Dealer will not fix/replace it and said that its not there problem. Dealer said that tint was to dark and thick. Window tinting place said all tints are the same thickness

take the matter above the dealer to higher management and be strong and firm with them it's honda's ****up

Did the dealer organise the tint for you or did you organise it separate to the car sale?

i dont understand y ur not getting warranty on this.. obviously a manufacturing problem. guess wat.. i hate larke hoskins

Issue: Clutch started slipping in cruise control - within ONE week it came to the point where you could not drive the car safely as the clutch would only grip at the tip of the pedal on release. It would also slip in 2nd gear when accelerating..

Outcome: I had to fork out $1500 [$700 clutch + Labour] total in repairs as it was not covered (clutch is still to be examined by another party - and matters taken up with Honda directly). Fixed @ Larke Hoskins Rosebery (Main Dealer). Master Cylinder was fine apparently.

Honda Eastwood quoted me $2500 for the job - I told them to jump :)
Larke Hoskins in Hornsby, one of the mechanics did mention something about a Master Cylinder Clutch that could be a recall, and he did a few of them - but it wasn't official and Honda Australia denies everything.

Conclusion: I'm being a bit more careful with the new clutch, it feels a lot better than it did when the car was new, however all these problems from other people are making me think. So i'll sit back and watch.

dude we're victoria's best service dealer AND we pick up your car for you! (sif think of goin elsewhere :p)

if you have any problems with the car man PM me or gimme a call at work :thumbsup:

if anyone has any legitimate warranty concerns with their car their dealer should have no problems repairing/replacing the items as they get paid by honda for warranty work.

i won't go into all items listed here but tint is a relatively common problem in a cars however your dealer should not have a problem repairing it (if done thru them at delivery)

if anyone in melb is unhappy with how their dealer is treating them then come over to us at Travis Honda and I'll look after you (i'm in the service dept. PM for details :))

we look after some of ozhonda melb's sexiest vehicles ;)

i got the tints organised by myself not honda. But its the same sub-contractors that honda uses. Even the tint guy say that the films are all the same thickness. Doesnt matter how dark you get it done.

Problems:
1. notorious rear left creek
2. boot leaking oil

State: NSW - Collins Honda

Issue:
as above

Outcome:
dealer fixed the noise with lubricant

the boot was just replaced during a schedualed service, i didnt know about it and they fixed it for me by themselves.

AFAIK they replace the whole moisture affected headlight assembly... they did with mine

Problem: Gearbox whine off throttle, on throttle.

Dealer: Looked at it and acknowledged. Will examine again at next service.

Its really annoying me now even tho most people cant hear it. Mines doen 20 000km.

03 Euro Luxury, condensation in passenger headlight (HIDS)
Dealer had two goes at replacing and finally got it right.

Wheel alignment was way out from factory but unfortunately nobody noticed (including me)

Dealer:
Austral Honda (Brisbane)

Problem:
Brand new 06 Luxury Euro...
Really bad FM reception... and its very intermittent... comes and goes as it pleases... :?

Resolution:
who knows!?!?! its still 'getting fixed'... after being back there twice to get 'fixed', its still farked!
first they replaced the amplifer for the antenna signal, then they replaced the inline connector behind the dash for the antenna... both times it got slightly better, and then progressively worse...

going back to honda for the third time, so hopefully it will be fixed this time... :(
