Quality niggles with new Euro

[antony]

Anthony,

Sorry to hear about your rattling noise coming back. Defintely go back to the dealer, I suspect they may not have installed it properly. In March this year, I have my CRV bottom cushion replaced under warranty due to a collapsed cushion. The tech has to diamantle the seat to fit the new cushion. No rattling noise what so ever after the fix. In NZ the big Honda dealers are all owned by Honda Corporarte and the tech are all Honda trained. It does make a difference based on the skill of the Tech.

Don't give up too early as I personally did not experience any seat rattlling across 7 different honda models.

The seat has not been replaced yet.
This is a rattle coming from the right door panel/B pillar/roof airbag ???

Driving home last night,I went over all the cats eyes in the rosd,and it brings them on beautifully.

My luck,rattles in a car drive me crazy,but I really did not expect them from a Euro...

2 cars previously I had a Holden Astra sedan,and after 6 and a half years,not 1 rattle.

My Parents have a 10 year old Toyota Corolla sedan,no rattles.

This is allready my second in 2 months of ownership,and its going in for the 3rd time next week for the same problem.

I baby my cars,and have only just done 4000 kilometers,very disapointed.

I feel for you. I can't stand rattle noise myself. You don't buy a Honda to get a rattle problem. You are right about it is the niggling problems that is most frustrating.

I once have a rattle noise in my then almost new CRV. It turns out to be the front passenger side seat belt buckle is knocking against the side door panel. Once I adjusted the buckle, the noise went away.

If you can't pinpoint the rattle problem, I would suggest you take the service technician in the car for a ride and let him hears the noise. Hopefully, they can identify the source of rattle noise.

Depends on luck. My 2002 Astra rattles very very badly. The center section where the temperature and radio display is rattles. When I put my hand on it, the noise goes away. The rear suspension tower also rattles, eventhough everything is tight...

So one more thing to attend to on Tuesday,
