Engine had a loud knocking noises when started cold for about 30 seconds until got warm. Dealer said, they replaced some sensors to adjust better timing. They said, the reason was bad timing and fuel burning.

I had a two second grinding noise when I cold started my car. Went to Benson Honda, they said it isn't a normal problem but then told me about another car that was there with the same problem. Then he told me that it's because I didn't come to Honda with my oil changes. I was never told that I could have engine failure if I didn't get my oil changes at the dealership. I bought a Honda for their reliability, but after this one I might have to switch to Toyota. There is a guy at the gym that is having the same problem, and Honda is in denying that they have a problem.
