Sorry, I'm not to sure if there is already a thread about this.
I wanted to know now, about 5 years down the track since the euro was released (cl9), what kind of problems you've experienced.
So far for me:
> A/C Compressor exploded and shattered
> Front passenger window is really noisy
> Both front door lock actuators are slowly dying
> Creaking Clutch.
> Numerous small globes (in the buttons) blown
> Battery Died (Totally normal tho)
Edit: > Glove box not aligned. (Common issue as well)
NO problems to report so far.. everything is as good as gold.
How long have you had your car for? Did you buy it brand new?
Mines an 07, so far just steering wheel squeaking when i turn when stationary / moving slowly - reported as under investigation =s
i have an 05. picked it up at 29,000km about a year ago. currently at 42,000km.
-there's a whine/screech taking off uphill in first. apparently its the release bearing. dealer hasn't been able to reproduce it. should take it back to them asap.
-creaking clutch pedal (temp fixed with some lubricant at the last service)
-driver's side door sometimes doesn't lock or unlock with the remote. takes 2 or 3 times. i've read about it on these forums before.
-rattling noise near glovebox when driving above around 5,800rpm. also read about this before.
..everything else is okay. :)
i have the same problem!! omggg, i dont know why but it just happened like RECENTLY. i was gonna tell them to do it during my 30,000km service.Quote:

does anyone know ?
i thought i needed to change my brakes but its only 30,000kms on it and my fronts have a fair bit of meat left.
do the rear brakes wear faster then the front ?
creaking clutch -> master cylinder replaced under warranty
dead battery -> normal, replaced
squeaking drivers seat -> not fixed
drivers side a-pillar rattle -> fixed under warranty
intermittent glovebox rattle -> not fixed
first start in the morning, power steering squeak -> not fixed, barely noticeable
Mine's an 06 bought new.
1)auto sensing wiper module.Fixed under warranty.
2)Battery.Started turning over slow last winter.Replaced myself with higher CCA battery.Fixed.
That's all!
Yep mine was recent too, told them at my 30k service aswell lols...under investigation i'm told. Emailed Honda to check if theres a fix etc, no reply after a month.Quote:

Lucky i had dealer warranty so all were fixed for free.
Hi Guys,
pretty new to the euro world but here is a few things that ive noticed when owning an 05 model for a 2 months
creaking clutch - temp fix with lube from honda under warranty but checking on the service records form previous owner, the master clutch cylinder has already been changed once before and from what ive heard is that this problem was already supposed to be fixed in the 05+ models?
right window actuator not working > fixed under warranty
car idle revs high when clutch pushed down (or in neutral) before coming to a stop (1600prm - 1900rpm) > took to honda, they reset the ECU but still has the problem
^
has anyone else had this problem?
Still love my euro tho :D just a pain in the a$$ to take it back to honda
Yea, after the problems I had, I still love the car aha.
Doesn't shift smoothly into 2nd gear, after cold start. Will be changing gear oil next week. hopefully will fix this
Do you mean....it feels rough at the stick? Or the actual car jerks a lot when u shift?
won't change alot if you are talking about downshifts. Even after changing my gb fluid it still struggles to downshift into 2nd on cold mornings. it just needs to warm up, not much you can do.Quote:

I have 03 Euro travelled 140k.
clutch creaking;
driver side door actuator repaired;
driver seat noice;
steering wheel trim (behined the horn) pop up and never go back;
battery replaced;
Air con sometime working sometime not;
engine noise from speakers when the rear de fogger on (all stock audio);
heater seat switch bulb replaced;
tapper or follower noise from Engine.
Car doesn't jerk, its a slight rough grind into 2nd thats :O) But as 'power of dreams' pointed out guess its a lot to do with the cold mornings thats all..Quote:

Not sure, i'll have a look again later

Anyone had CV boots splitting on them?, i got 100ks on my 03 euro 5AT and i notices grease splatted everywhere on the inside of my front left rim , gonna get it checked out tomorrow.
I have a second hand 2003 Euro with ~ 110,000 on the clock. I have started having intermittent electrical problems see my post:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114432
This is quite a serious problem and Honad have yet to diagnose it properly.
It doesn't seem to be an isolated problem as another Euro driver noted similar problems (read post #15 in the link):
http://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/A...al_short.shtml
Can you tell me what they did? I have the same problem on both sides and it's driving me insane.Quote:

Ah, i hear clicking (like a wiring loom or something is loose and hitting the plastic) where the A-pillar airbag cover meets with the rook lining, right next to your head and on both sides. It's bloody annoying.Quote:

baught the car im the second owner. 03 euro 90xxxkms .
driveshaft cracked, get a noise like a nail is stuck in my tyre
all the head unit contorls and radio controls stopped working. had to replace the dash. still under warrenty.
fuel pump ground snapped off
numerous dead battereys :(
and just brake pads lol.
My 04 Standard 5AT is approaching 90K. In its life it's had:
Wandering at speed (design fault - live with);
The front disk rotors replaced (warped - my cost);
Noisy steering when turning at parking speeds (which turned out to be split power steering high pressure hoses - warranty);
Blown aircon circuit breaker (which was due to ozone loving ants in the breaker - warranty);
Tramlining (which was fixed by fitting 205/50R17 tyres instead of 225/45R17 - my cost);
Broken centre console lid (not fixed yet - my cost eventually);
Warped and squeaky front disk brakes (not fixed yet - my cost eventually);
Three shock absorbers seized spontaneously at around 85K (four replaced - warranty); and
The paint has seen better days (wife now drives and parks my car - explains the dents too).
I suppose i should comment on the problems i have had.
Purchased Brand New July 2008
Sunroof seal badly sun damaged on pickup - replaced under warranty
Wiper blades stuffed on pickup - replaced under warranty
Drivers seat squeeking loudly - replaced under warranty
Rear LHS door seal hanging off - fixed myself
Clutch creaking - fixed myself
Glovebox did not sit flush - replaced under warranty
Rattling front & right door trims - attempted fix under warranty - no good
Rattling behind glovebox - fixed myself
Rattling from A pillar covers - TBA
Tramlines like a mofo - TBA
Would i buy another Honda? No effing way.
Wow.So many problems.i've got an 06 and it's rattle free despite having done 54K with stiffer and lowered springs and shocks.It's the best car i've owned in regards to warranty issues.:confused:Quote:

I've seen this in 3 euros that i've been in. Its really annoying to look at! Anyway to fix it?Quote:

damn. hoping for a DIY.
Rough idle upon cold start up. Car shakes quite a bit when put into gear after allowing the car to warm up for 1 minute. Idle then settles after a few minutes when the engine has warmed up. Not fixed. Have to leave car overnight at dealers and that's just not convenient at the moment.
Don't leave the manual and logbook in the glovebox.It seems to be too heavy to be left in there.Quote:

Whilst it settles after a few minutes it still feels wrong. Not only does it feel rougher but also louder at idle. I suppose many people don't notice it because they may drive for a few minutes before they come to a stop and by then the car is warmed up and idling correctly. However, i usually have to stop at a traffic light within a minute of leaving home and this is when I notice it most.Quote:

Most dealers will fix rattles, especially if you had purchased the car from them. Are you going to purchase the extended warranty? Probably a good idea. Or atleast use that as a bargaining tool.
I'm in Adelaide. I'm the second owner, just bought it about 2 months ago in a private sale. It's been great, but just noticed this rough idling for a couple of minutes after starting in this cold weather. I'll probably enquire at my local dealer about it. Let us know how you go too.Quote:

And by rough, can you elaborate a bit on how it is rough?
Cause i know mine is rough on cold starts [ in garage(not as bad as outside) ]or outside) but within a few minutes once the engine is slightly warmer it is fine.
Yes the roughness is very subjective. For me the rough feeling is quite a strong vibration that is never felt at any other time other than during warm up.Quote:

It's parked in a garage but I doubt it's much warmer in the garage in the morning than outside. The fact that it is rough for only a few minutes then sorts itself out made me think this is *normal*. Like Unity said it's a strong vibration. It's not horrible but it is a definite departure from the normal very smooth idle where you can hardly feel the car is even on. Reading other comments in this forum it might just be normal, I have no idea. I might speak to my service dept and see what they say.Quote:

Hello,
Had the CU2 for 2 months and the following problems have occured.
1. Pinging (mild but noticeable)
2. Horn fused.
3. Cruise Control unable to "SET". It can be turned on/off but cant set speed regardless whether travelling at 60, 80 or 100.
lingamair - i'd speak with your dealer principle for some answers mate.
on newer cars yes, sometimes that is the case, ive replaced my rear pads but my fronts still have 60%.Quote:
Originally Posted by r-r-redEuro

the OEM pads will last for at least 50000kms street use :) that screetching noise is normal cuz the brakes still cold
Hey, thanks! Problems are fixed :) Cause - Stupid fuse.Quote:

How hard are you trying to get it into 2nd ig3o? Usually I have to use a bit of force.
Come on guys...dont do this to me! I have 2 land rover V8s - one 280,000 the other 150,000 and I not many dramas at all...and all original drive train! I just bought a new (on the ship) auto Euro...I know forums tend to attract both enthuasists and people with problems so surely so JD Power thingos in the US are still right...aren't they?!!!!
Cheers
lol i try really hard.. but i gotta let the revs drop down from 7200rpm to about 5500rpm and it slips in..Quote:

How hard have you been driving?
the markers on the OEM pads extend pretty far in so even when your brakes start squeeling there is plenty of meat left on the pads. just honda's way of getting you to buy new pads ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)
alexxxxxxxxx !!!!! kid. LOL anyways. umm my brake pads, im talking about the rears ones. and my fronts have about 60% left. so yeah i dont know hwy the rears are wearing out so fast ! i wanna know why so i can save money in not buying new pads every 30,000kms. lol
rears go first on accord euro.
Your handbrake cable may be too tight. Or you are doing a lot of handbrake turns.Quote:

Or should i just drive it till it seizes? help would be much appreciated
it might be too tight because every time i read my honda service receipts it says, tighten handbrake etc. but no i don't ever do handbrake turns except for 2 occasions, one was chucking a u turn, and the other was me and my friend just wearing out my old tyres before i put on new ones the day after.Quote:
