AFTER 9 YEARS OF PERFECT SATISFACTION WITH A 2001 HONDA ACCORD,I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 HONDA ACCORD ON 08/2010. LOUD WHINING NOISE STARTED AFTER APPROX. 1000 MILES OF DRIVING. HEARD WHINE, LOUD AND CONSISTENT ON STARTUP AND THE WHINE INTENSIFIES AS THE ENGINE WARMS WITH DRIVING. DEALER REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP ON MY THIRD TRIP TO HONDA SERVICE.NOISE CONTINUES EVEN LOUDER WITH NEW PUMP. A RETURN TRIP TO HONDA DEALER I WAS TOLD IT IS A NOISE CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS MODEL. THE NERVE RACKING WHINE IS DEADENED ONLY WITH THE RADIO VOL. TURNED UP. TWO OTHER PROBLEMS CREATE VERY STRESSFUL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE HEAD REST EXTEND TOO MUCH FORWARD CREATING SEVERE NECK STRAIN AND THE STIFF FEEL IN THE SEATS REQUIRE CONSTANT SHIFTING OF POSITION. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE NOR RECOMMEND A HONDA TO ANYONE. MY MAIN CONCERN NOW: IS THIS WHINE AN INDICATOR FOR AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR FOR A MORE SERIOUS MECHANICAL PROBLEM? *TR

I HAD A 2010 ACCORD, AFTER 400-600 MILES I STARTED GETTING THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT EVERYTIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN AROUND 1200 MILES. THIS TIME THEY FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE THE REVERSE GEAR FORK. THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SPRING THAT HAD BROKE. THANKFULLY IT'S UNDER WARRANTY, THEY PUT A NEW REVERSE GEAR FORK IN AND NO PROBLEMS SINCE. NOISE HAS GONE. *TR
