problem #2

Oct 102009

Accord LX 2.4L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,000 miles

Last winter a grinding noise developed when I started the car. I noise only happens when the outside temperature was cold. I ask the dealer to look at it but because the car was warm when they started it of course it did not happen. The noise went away when the outside temperature warmed up. Now this fall the noise is coming back and getting worse. The dealer will be looking at it this week.

Accord EX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,000 miles

The exhaust systems will make a rough sound on cold start but then it will go away. It sounds like something loose inside the muffler system.
