Consumer Description
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 TO 65 MPH, GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT CRUISING SPEED (65 MPH) RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED. THEN TAP THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY TO GET BACK ON SPEED, THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I START NOTICING THIS AROUND 8000 MILES ON THE CAR. CAR NOW HAS 13,200 MILES. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER , BUT HONDA IS SAYING IT IS NORMAL. GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT THAT SPEED IS NOT NORMAL. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE DONE THE ROAD, GRINDING NOISE IS CAUSED BY TWO OBJECTS RUBBING AT EACH OTHER, ONE DAY THIS OBJECTS WILL WEAR OUT AND FAIL. IVE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO HONDA, BUT NO RESOLUTION. I'M HOPING NHTSA CAN HELP
