New Civic problem
I have a 2007 Civic LX automatic with 500 miles on it. Today I
noticed when I am driving between 1-5 mph I get a metallic scraping sound coming from the front somewhere. There is nothing dragging and it only happens when moving forward at a very low speed. I am taking it to the dealership to have it looked at soon but I am wondering what it could be and if I should be worried about driving it? |

It's normal. |

It does not happen when I apply the brake and it mostly happens at very low speed and occassionally it will happen for half a second while driving at higher speeds (around 65-70 mph). This sound is similar to dragging a shovel down a concrete road. It is a very irritating sound that gets worse when I make a turn, but only at speeds less than 10-15 mph. I am taking it in tomorrow. |

Seems the problem was a rock that got stuck in the braking system, nothing to worry about :) |

Re: New Civic problem
I don't think ABS would have made noise like that, at least not
for mine. Keep us posted on what the mechanic gonna say. _____________________________________ Free Tips to Save Car Gas Bill & Much More @ www.HowCanISaveMoney.com/tips03.htm On Apr 23, 9:58 pm, bluerave <brandoncl...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Apr 22, 10:17 pm, High Tech Misfit <m...@privacy.net> wrote: > > > That's the ABS system initializing itself.
