Consumer Description
COLD START OF ENGINE CAUSES LOUD GRINDING NOISE ONLY 2 AND A HALF YEARS OF OWNERSHIP 50,000 MILES LOOKING ONLINE IT IS NOT A UNIQUE PROBLEM AND IS AN ENGINE DESIGN FLAW. HONDA ONLY SAYS IT'S WORKING ON THE PROBLEM BUT DOESN'T HAVE A FIX YET. THEY SAY THE OFFICIAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE VTEC ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF POSTS ASKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I WOULD ASSUME THE COMPANY WOULD WORK ON IT ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE.
