i have a 2006 civic LX coupe when i start it is rumbles and shakes when i back up, i have a blown strut on the passenger side, would that cause my car to rumble?

 

bad engine mount

 

like a misfire??? you have to be more sepcific. no a strut wont cause the car to shake.

 

sounds like a mount.

 

Does it shake when you start the engine, when the engine is running, running in park, running in reverse, running and driving in reverse? More specific is better than less specific.

 

Given the current amount of information you gave, I'd say mount.

 

it shakes when i start the car, it shakes and rumbles when i back up. When i put it on drive it stops shaking but i can feel it rumbling as im driving.

 

mount

damn this sucks, i have 69k miles on my car, do you guys think my warranty will cover it? would they consider it as a wear and tear issue? i have an 80k mile warranty. ill call my dealership to see what they tell me.

thanks for the inputs guys.
ill keep you updated,

how can i check on the car if they are bad? where are they located?

 

im sure the mounts will be covered under the extended warranty. theres ine on the trans, one on the passenger shock tower, one on the pan and i believe one in the front somwhere.

to check put it in drive hold the brakes and rev it, while somebody looks at the mounts looking for exessive play then repeat in reverse.

it was the engine mounts, the dealer replaced them, my car feels GREAT now. The only thing that was a hassle was the dealership wanted to give me the run around, they were trying to send me to another dealership where i had originally purchased the car, they said i couldn't take to any honda dealership it had to be where i bought the car

A couple calls fixed that though and i got my WAY!

thanks evryone.

You must work at my dealership. My service manager practically blows customers.

 

Sounds like that dealer doesn't like warranty work. They are not allowed to refuse warranty work. They are obligated by Honda to perform any warranty work unless they are physically incapable of doing so.

lol i get so mad man. i had an 03 accord which came in for the stupid windshield wiper cover recall. ok im fine with that but it had 93k on it and the extended warranty was over in nov. 07 or 90k. i recommended serpintine belt and water pump on k24 accord which i charge 5.5 and my manager [freak]ing bends over backwards and after the customer bitches about the price and warrantys it for a wopping 1.7 hrs i believe it was. i wanted to shoot him.

im fine with warranty work when its appropriate. i get 3rd gear grinds all the time (or so they claim because they read on a forum that there was a bulletin) but when they car has aftermarket mods and clutch and **** i tell the customer to beat it.
