My 3 year old Honda City has rattling dashboard and steering wheel cover. The SC has tried to fix the problem 4 times. It never worked.

The problem is small, yet it is so freaking annoying.

No more Malaysian made Honda for me. Maybe Mazda 3 next time.

I write to you to notify an upset incident happen to me & Honda Malaysia, or perhaps Honda as whole.

My Honda City with 3 years old has suffers of gear box problem. Now only I know that Honda’s standard has dropped & produce lousy car. This is a big shame to Honda.

The reasons I said that are:
1. the usage of this car is less than 80,000km,
2. the age of this car is only 3 years plus,
3. this car has good maintenance & good services record with Honda services centers,
4. gear oil has been changed by Honda service center as per Honda recommended schedule,
5. zero modification to the said car,
6. the lifespan of a Honda city gear box shall never as short as my car,
7. Honda never built this type of lousy & low quality product,
8. A RM80,000 Honda car shouldn’t last only 3 years plus, this is a big shame to Honda,
9. The gear box of – RM20,000 is too expensive, moreover this car is only 3 years plus old, and
10. the more important thing is this problem has been reported to Honda Malaysia 3 weeks ago, and the case remain unresolved. My whole family is taking risk of life by driving a problematic new Honda car everyday.

I didn’t aspect a new one, but at lease a good attitude toward the case. I don’t mind a re-con gear box as replacement. At lease I still believe Honda is responsible to their product as well as their customer.

My family has four Honda cars and we like Honda so much. But after this incident, we will never go to Honda again unless Honda gives me back the hope.

I really hope Honda give me a hand in this case.

They replaced the rear right hand wheel bearing for free as it’s covered under warranty. No more noise & it feels comfortable & relax driving my City again

My city is rattling (on the driver’s side and steering wheel), literally, whenever it pick-up speed from a halt position. I wonder what could be it’s problem. Engine mounting? Gear box? I’ve sent it to the Honda Service centre but they haven’t figured out what’s wrong with it. They’ve suggested a change of gear oil, spark plug, etc. But no improvement.

Weird thing is, it becomes more serious whenever I turn on the air-cond. I’ve to actually turn off the air-cond to overtake cars. My grandma’s car could do better than that!!!!

Will send it in again tomorrow.

P/s: you gotta use paragraphs man. :p
