problem #1

Sep 202013

Accord 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,500 miles

I had my 2013 Honda Accord Sport for 7 months when I all of a sudden I heard this horrible repetitive clicking sound coming from the engine. I took it into the Honda shop and first they tried to tell me it had to do with the oil change that I recently had done to my car, since it was not done at their shop, but it is a trustworthy place I have been taking all of my car to for years, so I know it was not from that. Than I was told it sounds like something from the upper engine. My car was in the shop for almost 2 weeks without any answer to what the problem was. I was given a loaner car but it upset me that no one was able to answer me as to what the problem was. Each time I called they said that the engine was taking apart but when they put the engine back together again, they still heard the same sound.

Yesterday, the official 2 week period, my husband called and told them that if they don't have an answer for me that I am going into the shop and requesting a new car. That evening I received a phone call from the service rep and I was told the belt inside the engine got stretched and that is what the sound was coming from. I don't understand why it took them so long to figure it out.

Has anyone that has a 2013 Honda Accord with 4,000 miles ever heard of the belt stretching out? This does not seem like something that should happen and I am concerned about problems arising with this in the future.
