Consumer Description

NOTICING RIGHT NOW JUST THE INTERMITTENT STAGE OF THIS NEW CLUTCH NOISE ON AN UPHILL/INCLINE ALSO THE INCREDIBLY COMMON VTC ACTUATOR COLD START NOISE ON BASICALLY ALL K24 VARIATIONS, STILL RESEARCHING IF THESE TWO ARE CORRELATED WHICH I BELIEVE SO AT THIS MOMENT I WRITE THIS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS 15' CIVIC SI 9 MONTHS AGO, 06 OF 18' WITH JUST OVER 20K. HAD THE COLD START NOISE PROBABLY 5 OR 6 MONTHS IN AS IT BECOMES WINTER AND NOW I'M GETTING CLUTCH NOISES PLUS I FEEL SLIGHT DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ AND I'VE DONE WAY TOO MUCH RESEARCH, IT STARTS OUT AS A TYPICAL NOISE EVEN HONDA CANADA THEMSELVES CLAIM AS NOTHING BUT HAD LEAD TO CASES OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO COMPLETE HEAD REPLACEMENTS TO COMPLETE CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS AND SOME CASES SOUNDS RETURNING DUE TO DEFECTIVE OEM DESIGN. CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE: 2015 CIVIC SI HAVE YET TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN, ONCE AGAIN BEGUN NOTICING THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE AT ONLY 27K MILES. PATHETIC
