2004 Accord - Cabin rattles
Richard Hofer 28 January 2005 16:59:08
	I've got a 2004 Accord EX and I've been very happy with it except for several "rattles" inside my cabin. Currently, the central console rattles, the cover on the visor mirror rattles when the visor is down, and the front passenger door has something going on as well. It's a real symphony inside. Have others had similar experiences? One reason I went from VW to Honda is Honda's reputation of building solid cars. With all these rattles, I'm not so sure anymore.

Apparently this "feature" has become standard equipment. Mine come and go - I have no idea why that is, so it makes them even more difficult to diagnose and fix.

	My 2004 Accord EX has started to develop a rattle that is coming from somewhere on the passenger side. It's really noticeable in cold weather but doesn't seem to be there all the time. Taken on a whole I feel my Honda is pretty solidly built but I have definitely lost the illusion of perfection from this and other minor problems with the car.

I even had the dealer keep it over night one time to have them try to fix or at least figure out where the rattle is coming from, and they got nothing fixed. It went away for a while after they removed the panels in the rear (where the plastic from the roof hits the rear windshield and the seatbelt retracter). On occasion, I climb into the back seats and just start pushing around on the plastic panels and the roof and I can feel it move by a few cm and I would hear a few clicks here and there ... sounds more like things were being snapped back into place.

The interior is a very convenient and effective place for automakers to achieve cost savings: It's subject to very few regulations, not subject to the weather and is generally very lightly-stressed compared to other components. Honda's declared aim is to stuff all their cars with about 7 airbags, ABS and other "safety" devices. That's an expensive desire. However, they can't raise the selling price, so the interior will be sacrificed. Better get used to it, or start spending more on higher-end cars. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/

	My Accord 2004 with 4500 miles has a noise problem with my door, window, overhead area - rattleВs and squeaks. This is my first Honda and I don't know what to exВpect. I noticed niose is reklated to the temprature, unable to repeat any of it, or get ride of it.

	My Accord EX 2004 developed the same set of rattles within 6 months after purchasing. I put a lot of miles on my car (up to 37,000 after 13 months) and the rattle does not go away. The dealer could do nothing. I learned to turn up the radio. The rattles and the humongous posts on both side of the windshield are my only complaints with my Honda.

Yes, this is something you ask the dealer to fix under warranty. My dealer has one guy who devotes his entire? time fixing rattles. OK, so he was unsuccessful the first time... What was scary was he telling me that my car (rattle-wise) was one of the better ones.

	My '03 Accord has an annoying intermittent rattle somewhere in the radio head unit. If apply pressure to the front cover it will usually go away, until I let go. It also has a contestant annoying squeak that comes from the stainless steel trim panel around the shifter. If I pull the trim panel up a bit it will go away until the panel falls back into place. If anybody has had success with any methods of quieting these annoyances please let me know. BTW: Having switched to Honda after many years of American brand ownership (Chrysler and GM) I can tell you that these squeaks and rattles (while annoying) are minor compared the constant and ever-present noise you would hear from most American cars. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----

I had some luck pulling up the shifter trim plastic (it isn't really stainless steel) and putting a small bit of foam rubber under it at the front edge. Other noises come and go constantly on my '03 Accord and I am very unhappy about it. They have been there since the day I brought the car home and the dealer has been completely useless about fixing them. The noises are temperature sensitive and maddening. From pulling a few bits apart I find that Honda didn't use insulating tape or anything between the many snap together plastic pieces which make up the dash assembly. Cost cutting gone mad. Maybe I will try Toyota next time. John

The government does mandate safety, economy and environmental measures. The use of hard plastics figures into the economy and environmental requirements, and it is those hard plastics that cause the rattles. Now, I don't condone the use of hard plastics, but to me, interior rattles are a petty issue compared to mechanical problems. Obviously another right wing conspiracy anti-government nut. For your information, fool, I am neither right wing nor left wing. I am neither pro- nor anti-government. I don't pledge allegiance to any political side.
