NHTSA Complaint #11093841 — 2008 HONDA ACCORD

SINCE LAST 5 YEARS I NOTICED LOUD GRINDING NOISE AT STARTUP, ONLY IN THE MORNING WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE. NOISE DOES NOT HAPPEN ON STARTUPS DURING THE DAY AND THE ENGINE RUNS FINE. JUST THE ANNOYING ABOUT 2 SECOND LONG SCRATCH NOISE AT FIRST START IN THE MORNING. BUT SINCE LAST 2-3 WEEKS IT HAS GONE WORST AND GET THAT NOICE EVEN WHEN I START DRIVING AND EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN AND START SPEED UP AGAIN IT GET THAT NOICE LIKE GEAR SLIPPING OR GRINDING NOISE UNTIL I REACH TO FASTER SPEED LIKE ABOVE 30-35. ITS HAPPENING EVERY TIME NOW. ON HONDA'S WEBSITE IT DEFINES PROBLEM AS "ENGINE RATTLES AT COLD START-UP" JUST DIFFERENCE FOR ME IS NOW ITS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING. AND I WAS WAITING FOR HOPE TO GET RECALL NOTIFICATION SINCE IT'S HAPPENING TO ALL 2008 HONDA ACCORD CUSTOMERS. HERE IS THE LINK OF HONDA WEBSITE WHICH HAS MORE INFORMATION . HTTPS://HONDA.OEMDTC.COM/219/ENGINE-RATTLES-AT-COLD-START-UP-2008-2013-HONDA WHICH EVEN SAYS THE 2008-2012 ALL HONDA ACCORD MODELS HAS THIS PROBLEM. SO BEFORE I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO DEALERSHIP I THOUGHT TO TAKE THIS STEP TO MENTION ABOUT COMMON PROBLEM OF PARTICULAR 2008 HONDA ACCORD TO NHTSA UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HOPING I WILL GET SOME KIND OF HELP OR SOLUTION.
