The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated the brakes and the transmission are making a loud noise when shifting gears into reverse. The dealer test drove the vehicle, duplicated the failure and stated that since the vehicle is brand new the noise will subside. The Honda manufacturer advised the contact to have the vehicle repaired by a local dealer. The contact informed the manufacturer that the vehicle was diagnosed on two occasions by the dealer. The failure mileage was 11 and the current mileage was 460.

I initially reported a problem on my car on the 28th of January and brought the car in for repair at Honda of serramonte for making a cranking thump noise when making a reverse to acceleration. The noise coming from the transmission is very consistent and it occurs during a gear shift from reverse to acceleration. Brought to the attention of hmc at torrance, California and the dealership and they both claim this noise is normal characteristic of the car. I say this is not, as the noise is the first time I hear since in my adult driving experience of multiple cars and SUVS. Please help!
