There are already 2 threads at least on this issue (I started 1). It is common and my local Honda said put up with it, "it's normal". Basically I think they are waiting for my 3yrs wty to run out (in 3 mths) as they don't wanna pull the dash out.

That's NOT normal! Get them to show you the sound in one of their demo cars. I'd try a different dealer. Whoop! is not normal and asking you to "put up with it" means they admit there is something abnormal but don't want to do and repairs on it.

The dealers get paid labour by honda to do warranty work, they should be more proactive. Then again, they wouldnt get paid much so its probably not worth it for a job like this.

That's exactly right. The rate they get paid for warranty work is much lower than the rate they charge for servicing and repairs.
It is just typical of New Car dealers (well my local ones anyway!!). They all wait until your car is out of warranty then tell you it will be plenty to fix. I complained about a noise on my Euro while it was well and truly still in warranty and typically they couldn't find it or it wouldn't make the noise while they had it. At 120K they found out what the noise was and then told me it would be about $1300 to fix. The mechanic told me that if it was documented under warranty then it should be covered. The Service manager would not acknowledge this and the poor old mechanic probably got a kick in the backside.
If you have a problem and your local dealer won't fix it then contact Honda Australia and tell them how disappointed you are in their service and maybe they can help get the dealer into gear.
Stand up to these robbers!! The Service managers are only making sure they get a big fat bonus for billable hours.

As long as the fault is documented within the warranty period even when warranty has expired it's covered.No argument.
