Just bought a ’97 Accord
Hi! Just bought a ’97 Accord. It has 109,000K, and I’ve noticed that
it makes a grinding noise, like something slipping, at around (give or take a little) 2,000 RPM’s. It only happens after about 1/2 hour of driving, and it might happen just a few times then, when I try to accelerate. It’s very frustrating becuase I have 2 more weeks on the warranty, and becuse it’s such an intermittent problem, the dealership doesn’t hear it when they test drive it. Any suggestions??? :? -- Posted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

Re: Just bought a ?97 Accord
Two thoughts for you to consider. First document the problem and how you
have tried to get the dealership to deal with it. Make sure the dealership writes up your problem and reports what they have checked, in writing. Consider leaving the car there overnight. Second,lossen all of the drive belts and spin the accessories (alternator / AC idler / etc.) by hand to see if you have a bearing going bad or an accessory binding. I would also spin all of the wheels by hand to see if I could detect any noise or roughness. Good luck! |
