i posted about a week or so ago about some popping noise i heard coming from the rear of the car. at first i thought it was something to do with the brakes because thats the only time i heard it was when i was on and off of them. long story short i took it back to the dealer and just from driving around the lot, the tech said a possible body panel loose. they had it all day to find out that the shocks were shot. they had to call the engineers out in california to see if they had this problem before. they had never heard of that problem. took the shocks off, drove it, no problem. put them back on, move the car just a little, same noise. go figure! if theres one new car out there that has problems, i was the one to find it! got them on order for the middle of next week to be replaced under warranty

just a heads up if anyone else is hearing strange noise in the rear of the car

ooops, its a 2dr lx BTW

 

sucks about the problem, congrats on the warranty fix though. Hope she rides like a dream afterward.

I'm starting to get this noise from rear and only when I step on the brakes and then release is when I hear it. If it's blown shocks it would be constant when going over bumps no?

My car is under 1000 miles.

 

man did honda rush these out of something? alot of stupid little things.

ac not cold, ecm reflashes, seats wearing already, shocks in back and front.

$0 deductable right?

First batch is always a little funky. Like, you know, the rear window/quarter windows in coupes coming loose? Yeah, that's kinda silly but really dangerous. I think there is supposed to be a recall near the end of this month on that.

 

i think ive heard about a couple of people have the same problems with the popping

 

the honda dealer i used to work at you could pull up the whole back window on a coupe and stick your hand in at the bottome lol

 

i had a car come in for this problem not too long ago,,its actually caused by space between the tophat of the strut and shock tower.. and speaking of recalls dont forget the 5 places on the motor that oil leaks from.. oh and the power steering leak from the inlet pipe what is happening to honda..

 

WTF
